Was looking for a decent mixer and stumbled across this deal at Harris Scarfe. It's a 3 in 1 machine which can act as mixer, food processor & Blender.
Appliancesonline.com.au is selling the same product at $443, so looks like a great deal. Already ordered one…:)
Detailed info on this product could be found at http://www.braunhousehold.com/global/products/food-preparati…
It used to be quite a popular model in Germany (link to older model). https://www.amazon.de/Braun-Multiquick-Küchenmaschine-K3000-umfangreichem/dp/B000LB1D4U/
This is the newer model, perhaps a bit less good (the German reviews indicate one or two weak parts), but still overall good by the look of it. https://www.amazon.de/Braun-Küchenmaschine-Tribute-Collection-Liter/dp/B00LPG0LH0/
I have had a related model for 20yrs, still going strong, but not available in Australia anymore (to my knowledge). https://www.amazon.de/Braun-3030-Tribute-Collection-Kompakt-Küchenmaschine/dp/B00IXCG03S
I think the Bosch stand mixer is more popular from German brands.
For the advertised price, I would expect this might be a good price:performance decision, but be aware that most of these types of machines don't manage heavy bread doughs well.
Hi great info thanks for this
Will this machine manage pizza dough or dough with the consistency of indian flat breads, it will be great to know, else will wait for a stand mixer deal , thanks again
Pizza dough is a relatively soft dough, no problems. Same with most flat breads. You just need to make sure you read the maximum quantities in the manual or you'll overload the motor.
Thank you for the info, I'm being double minded still as read a review this cannot be used to cream butter for cakes and stuff, so it maybe dubious claim by Braun
@kamban: I can't see why it wouldn't cream butter. Your average food processor bowl can achieve that (though not as well as a stand mixer), so this should do it without a problem. As with any device, quantities (too much/little) will influence the outcome. I sometimes have to make small quantities of Italian meringue in my Kenwood and that is a pain!
Can't say but looking at the brand I think that should not be an issue. Earlier I had a 500 watts machine(unheard overseas brand) with similar design and it lasted 7 years. My wife used that mostly for kneading.
Sold out online?
Check with actual stores…..I managed to pick the last one up from Harris Scarfe - Docklands (Melbourne) today.
I am a great fan of these machines…have had two in the last 22 years…always struggle to get spare parts so getting this item at this price was a real treat.
Many thanks to "anki" for posting.
Are they reliable ?
We have always found them reliable….the only reason needing replacement is worn out…or the lid broke and we had trouble getting a replacement. I think any kitchen appliance that is used very often and lasts 10 years is a good buy.
No problem James. Eagerly waiting for the delivery. I went to the local store and observed that box was quite big. Was feeling good that I ordered online and saved some space for other things to carry during the day..😊
I'm interested in seeing how this acts as a stand mixer, not many reviews online though
The Mrs will not use it for much , just to cream up butter and sugar or whip some eggs
