Smeg Black Stand Mixer (SMF05BLUK)
Smeg · £450
It’s good, but we think this is better: the KitchenAid Artisan 4.7L tilt-head, £459 provisional
A 1000W motor, ten speeds and the best-looking casing in this category by a distance, for £449.95. The warranty is two years. That is the number to weigh, because a stand mixer is a twenty year purchase and KitchenAid sell the Artisan for nine pounds more with five years of cover and fifteen years of spare parts behind it.
