What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.7 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Salter Bakes EK5511SBO

  • A 1300 W motor drives the planetary action.
  • Ten speed levels give fine control.
  • Planetary mixing action is included.
  • At 22 cm deep it suits a narrow worktop.
  • Non-slip feet keep it steady while it runs.
  • A splash guard helps keep flour in the bowl.

What customers don't like about Salter Bakes EK5511SBO

  • The 4 L bowl is small for a big batch.
  • The parts cannot go in the dishwasher.
  • There is no food processor, pasta attachment or meat grinder.
  • At 33 cm high and 35.2 cm wide, it needs room on the worktop.

Verdict

Cramped worktops are where the Salter Bakes EK5511SBO earns its place. Its 1300 W motor runs through 10 speed levels, so you can go slow for flour and fast for cream. Planetary mixing action is included, along with a pulse button for short bursts. At 22 cm deep it sits neatly on a narrow worktop, and non-slip feet keep it still while it runs. A splash guard helps keep flour in the bowl. The trade-offs are a 4 L bowl, small for a big batch, and parts that cannot go in the dishwasher. Overall it stays fairly compact at 33 cm high and 35.2 cm wide. It suits a couple or small family who bake often, want steady control and are happy to wash up by hand.
