Third-party reviews

What customers like about Tower T12033RG

  • Excellent value for money and very budget-friendly
  • Stylish design with an attractive black and rose gold finish
  • Powerful 1000W motor with 6 variable speed options and a pulse function
  • Generous 5-litre stainless steel bowl suitable for batch baking
  • Easy to use, assemble, and clean with dishwasher-safe parts
  • Includes essential metal attachments like a dough hook, beater, and balloon whisk
  • Comes with an extended 3-year warranty upon online product registration

What customers don't like about Tower T12033RG

  • The whisk attachment can struggle to reach the very bottom or sides of the bowl, leaving some ingredients unmixed
  • Can be quite noisy, especially when operating at higher speed settings
  • Lightweight build causes the machine to shake or move around on the counter when kneading heavy bread doughs
  • The included clear splash guard feels somewhat flimsy or cheap
  • Lacks external attachment hubs or options to expand into other culinary functions
  • Some components and mixing tools feel less robust or durable compared to premium models

Verdict

The Tower T12033RG features a powerful 1000W motor and a large 5-litre removable stainless steel bowl, completed by a sleek black design with distinctive rose gold accents. Key characteristics include a planetary mixing action for thorough ingredient combining, 6 variable speed settings, and a dedicated pulse function. Key pros include its 3-in-1 capability—offering a dough hook, flat beater, and balloon whisk—an integrated transparent splash guard for mess-free countertops, and convenient dishwasher-safe bowl and attachments. Potential cons include a plastic construction on the outer body shell and its heavy weight of 5.12 kg which can make it bulky to move.
