You'll need plenty of storage space, mind – it's a big beast and it comes with no fewer than 13 attachments! In its stand mixer role it beats, mixes, whisks and kneads, while a continuous feed shredder covers five types of chopping, slicing and shredding both finely and coarsely, and grating. Sometimes a hand mixer is an easier way to whip up ingredients, so why not have a tool that can do the job of both a hand and stand mixer? For this, you have to remove the bowl, drop down the arm and fit the attachment into the tool socket, which means you have to turn the machine around.Higher wattage makes it easier to mix tough ingredients, from mixing bread to working with larger amounts of cake mixture. The only tool that wasn’t so good was the dough hook, which ended up wrapping our test dough around it, rather than kneading it.

The basic accessories should be a paddle for mixing cake batter, and a balloon whisk for getting air into ingredients, such as whipped egg whites and cream.With very little fuss, it quickly whisked up the mixture well, picking up any flour around the sides of the bowl, which is always handy. It would suit any keen amateur cook, giving impressive results across a wide range of kitchen tasks.

Mixing dough and cake mixture was easier, although you may need to scrape the side of the bowl down to combine everything. Late or missing repayments may have serious consequences for you and cause you serious money problems.Otherwise, it’s important to get the right product for your needs, spending the right amount of money. Now while the Bosch MUM59340GB is praised for its powerful, kneading technology, I was a little disappointed with this performance. The fondant lost some volume in this second stage, but once baked it was crisp on top and soft in the middle. All of this means that you need space to place all of your accessories, but that’s not always a bad problem to have.

The Bosch MUM59340GB is a powerful, well-designed, all-rounder to handle a variety of kitchen tasks. Setting it on the minimum speed with the splashguard in place, I moved up to speed 3 once the larger lumps of butter weren’t visible.Whether you fancy yourself a bit of a Bake Off connoisseur or just prefer making occasional cakes and bakes for special occasions, you’ll need the best stand mixer. Another notable feature of the Bosch MUM59340GB is its ‘planetary mixing action’, meaning both the head and attachments move together in figure-8 movements. I put it to the test to find out how well it mixes up the all-important ingredients for cakes and bakes. If you’re after a powerful, kitchen mixer than can do so much more than make a mean cake or loaf, then yes! A citrus press attachment turns the KItchen Machine into a juicer, plus there’s a mincing attachment for meat and a blender.
