   WRT Kitchen machines, my very personal opinion: People buy Kitchen-Aid for the looks and feels and bragging factor. People that know what is really needed simply buy a Kenwood ;)

     It depends on your definition of small ;)
     But let's not get into a size comparison :p

     @jan @jwildeboer Chef is for small kitchens, major for bigger ones...

     @jwildeboer Or because Kenwood didn't have a "small kitchen version" back then and KitchenAid had ;)

     I have the simplest version of the Kenwood Chef since many years. You can get them new for as low as 200€ as someone somewhere always has a sale going on. Read the manual, though. You really need to calibrate it once to make sure it is mixing, beating with perfection. After that it is an unassuming tool that does its various jobs without any problem, in my experience.

     @jwildeboer Most semi/professional or aspiring to bakers I know actually have picked Maxima over Kitchen Aid, not Kenwood.

     @jwildeboer Correction, Thermomix does not stop at 120ºC

     it can reach higher temperatures by recepie instructions, just not with manual controls

     @jwildeboer ok, that explains stuff

     however, for proper maillard reaction, one should simply use a standard frying pan (my personal opinion)

     @jwildeboer And those who want endurance go for Ankarsrum. 😇

     Got one for some eight years now, and it never failed me kneeding my bread at least every two weeks and all the other mixing jobs inbetween
