  • Plus cashrewards for extra 5%?

  • I'd be going this model instead for $250 delivered (RRP $529) https://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/kitchen-appliances/kitc…

      That's the older, discontinued model. The higher RRP is just because it's an older model that launched with a higher recommended retail price at the time. They sit at equivalent positions in the Kenwood lineup.

      Spec-wise, they're identical. They look pretty much the same, apart from the dial on the side and slightly different beaters.

      But the older model is click and collect only, and has very limited store availability. The eBay deal includes shipping.

      • Aha thanks for the info, didn't realise delivery wasn't an option…

  • what is the difference between XL and XL sense?

    • Looks like the Sense model is more powerful (1400W vs 1200W) and comes with more mixing tools.

    • +1

      "The Chef Sense comes with a new bowl that features internal gradation measurement, making it easer to see the volume of the ingredients inside. The splash guard has all been redesigned with an extra-wide feed chute to help stop spills."

      The Chef XL has a 1200W motor. The Chef Sense XL has a 1400W motor.

      The Chef Sense also comes with a folding tool.

      So different bowls (incompatible between the two models), a slightly bigger motor (but identical rated dough capacities), a folding tool, and prettier colours.

      • The bowls while different should still be compatible with each other (you should be able to use either bowl on either machine).

        The very first Sense models (model nos. KVC50x/KVL60x) used a new bowl locking mechanism which was incompatible with all older bowls and machines, but they've since reverted to the original mechanism on all current models including Sense branded models.

        • Thanks! That would explain why all the bowls listed as being compatible with the "KVC" machines are on a crazy sale right now.

          If the new bowls are compatible between the machines, then that means the differences between the Chef and Chef Sense really just come down to slight power differences, colour scheme, and included bowls/accessories.

        • @marlor: Do you have any links for these?

        • @lordra:

          The KVC-compatible bowls are here:
          http://www.kenwoodworld.com/en-au/products/kitchen-machines/…
          http://www.kenwoodworld.com/en-au/products/kitchen-machines/…

          But they will only work with last-gen Sense machines (the KVC50 series), which are discontinued now.

      • With a bigger motor, isnt the sense a better option for mixing dough than the 1200W.

        The sense has the four colours (although only 2 available at myer ebay). Then there is the standard white and silver sense which is not discounted as much as the coloured ones. Is the white and silver the same as the coloured ones , it has the same model number 6100.

        • It would make sense that the 1400W motor would beat a 1200W motor in heavy tasks like kneading dough, but the actual specs on the Kenwood website list that they're both rated for the same load (2.56kg). These machines both have huge motors, so perhaps the limitation is less about motor capacity and more about gearing. Or perhaps the Sense will actually handle a bigger load, but Kenwood didn't want to bump up the weight rating when it was so high already.

          Either way, they're both monsters. The KitchenAid mixers typically have a 300W motor by comparison, and the typical Artisan mixers are rated for around half the amount of dough.

          I'd imagine all units with the same model number are identical apart from colour.

          The Chef XL in silver looks like it will be $319.20 tomorrow at the Good Guys (with 20% off), so that could be a good option for those who need a huge mixer (for me, the standard Chef is plenty big enough).

          Otherwise, the Sense XL is a good buy too at the moment, with its extra folding tool, better bowls, and slightly more power.

          No matter which way you go, now is a pretty good time to be looking at the Chef mixers, with 20% off sales stacking on top of the current promotional prices at both Myer and Good Guys.

  • Done deal! Kenwood Mixer instead of the KitchenAid!

    • 1000W instead of the 250W of last night's Artisan Mini. :-P

  • myer website has CHEF XL Kitchen Machine: Silver for 399 but myer ebay doesn't

    • Good Guys also have it for $399 on eBay (which crazy, because they also have the non-XL in silver for the same price).

      So it should be down to $319.20 on tomorrow's 20% off sale at the Good Guys.

  • Good deal. The Chef is a beast!

  • I bought chef xl sense during eofy last year for $500 with $50 instore credit(good guys)
    Definitely recommend this over Kitchen Aid over rated appliances.

    • Especially if you're using it for bread.

      The KitchenAid Artisan (KSM150) has a similar sized bowl to the Kenwood Chef in this deal, but its rated capacity for kneading yeast dough is 1.15kg according to the KitchenAid Faq. The Chef can handle 2.18kg of yeast dough.

      For cakes, both will do the job perfectly, but for bread, the bigger motor in the Kenwood wins.

  • When ebay code will expire

  • So $40 for the excel XL upgrade for the bigger motor and bowls. Hmmm, I don't think its worth it. Wish it came in red. I"m ready to pounce on this!

    • The XL only has a little bit more mixing capacity for yeast dough (2.56kg vs 2.18kg).

      So it all comes down to whether you'll be mixing more than 2.72kg of cake batter at once. The XL goes up to 4.55kg, but that's a whole lot of cake.

      • Indeed! Not worth it then. Will get my order in shortly!

  • Is this or the Breville Bakery Boss better - Breville BEM825SCH
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Breville-BEM825SCH-the-Bakery-Bo…
    $360 after 10% off

    • I'd go with a Kenwood, because:
      - Kenwood has had a good reputation for mixers for decades and decades.
      - You can use attachments. Kenwood has had the same attachment system for a very long time, so there are plenty out there used and new.
      - The entire mixer has a five year warranty (rather than just the motor on the Breville - gears will often fail before the motor).

      But I've never used a Breville mixer, so I can't criticize it. It certainly has more bells and whistles, like the LCD display, timer and mixing light.
