There’s a 3-litre bowl provided with this mixer, which is good enough for your average cake and smaller amounts of liquid and eggs. It’s a nice deep bowl, too, which is great for handheld mixers. Cleverly, the bowl rotates in use to give even mixing; stand mixers have orbitary mixer heads that move around the bowl.

Mixer type: Stand mixer | Size: 350 x 220 x 390, 11.17kg | Controls: 10 speeds | Motor power: 300W | Accessories included: 4.8-litre bowl, whisk, flat beater, dough hook The Pros: It’s easy to set up but weighing 7.5kg and at 282 x 280 x 271 mm, may be slightly bulky for smaller worktops or those with low-hanging cabinetry. The 800W motor is controlled via the power control on top, although our minor complaint here is that this is a little hard to read clearly. In the box, you get the three common tools: paddle, whisk and dough hook. We found that the SMF02 did well with dough and cake mixture, but the whisk didn’t quite get to the sides for all mixtures and needed a bit of scraping down and, for some recipes, a little more liquid to be added.

Part stand mixer, part multi-functional kitchen machine – if the Transformers did small appliances they’d look like this. The Bosch MUM59340GB Kitchen Machine is equipped with a three-zone moveable arm, seven mixing speeds and all the attachments and functions you’d expect from a premium price mixer – but without the premium price. The Bosch MUM59340GB may not exactly be a stylish bit of kit, but it looks like it means business and is well designed. Despite the air of seriousness and fairly substantial bulk, its anthracite colour and stainless steel detail give it a sleek, modern appearance. Perfect results: extremely powerful 1.000 watt motor - even suitable for very heavy doughs, large amounts and blending.

Reverting the Kitchen Machine to its standard position and replacing the bowl, I attached the shredder and used it on speed 5 to slice leeks and carrots with the coarse side of the slicing disc. The feed chute is wide, so I found it easier to slice two vegetables at once. The slices were consistent and prepping this way was a real time-saver.
