The product was a gift for my mother, who lives abroad. My partner and I spent £60 more on a suitcase to fly it over, only to find there were components missing. Disappointing for such a well known brand, especially as I have other equipment; kettles and toasters that work absolutely perfectly.

Unlike it's bigger cousin this 'mini' does not live up to its reputation. The main mixer blade does not clear the sides or bottom of the bowl, needing the contents to be repeatedly manually pushed down with a spatula. The dough hooks only mix the centre of the mixture - I had to remove contents from the bowl and finish mixing by hand. Designers - back to the drawing board !!!

I purchased the KitchenAid Mini Honeydew but it has tiny red spots of paint here and there. I know this might be a factory mistake. But I can’t give 5 stars based on that.
