Unfortunately, the harder it works, the more it shakes and moves, resulting in it shifting from its position and the dough rising to the base of the hook, to the point that the dough fills the joint and is not easily cleaned.

Influenced by the positive comments, I bought it. Waste of money, it can't even make a cake, the ingredients stick to the bottom and you have to scrape them off with a spatula every now and then. Better to use a hand mixer than this bulky thing that doesn't do the job it promises
As construction seems sturdy and high-quality. It weighs about 5 kilograms.
The suction cups don't say much.
I appreciate that it is noisy compared to a mixer. For the 56€ I got it, I believe it's fine.
Cake mix is okay.
Well, for a dough of 1.7 kg (all ingredients directly inside) for bread, it kneads it almost in 3 minutes on setting 1 (meaning the slowest). After that, kneading continued by hand for a minute.
It is the jewel of my kitchen! It has suction cups on the base and it doesn't move at all! Also, the attachments adjust easily! It has 6 speeds and the motor is not noisy!
I belong to the opposite case from the previous review, meaning that only the motor and the hook are left for me, which have not been used yet. The egg beater broke in the first few uses when I exerted a little more force. I lost the blade when I made the mistake of putting it in the dishwasher. All the color came off and when you touch it, it leaves something like charcoal. Okay, the motor is powerful, but the quality of the components is minimal.
I open the box and I am very happy... I say I will make a king's pie, I put the butter and I open it to see how it works, everything is fine... In the first 20 seconds, I add an egg and I raise it to 3, and in 10 seconds it makes a strange noise and only drops the turns... and suddenly it catches fire, I unplug it and it explodes from the fourth. I am left with the box and the accessories. Happy New Year and in the end, you get what you pay for
Very good machine with a powerful motor, I have been using it for two weeks now for pizza and cookies and I am completely satisfied. Get it so you don't cry over your money
I was influenced by the good reviews and its low price and bought it, but then I realized that you get what you pay for.. The bin fits into the slot with great difficulty and does not fit properly. Also, it takes a lot of force and luck to remove it without spilling the contents. It is equally difficult to add ingredients, as it hardly opens at all
It is not enough to collect the flour neither at the bottom nor on the sides. I have to open it and mix it with a spatula and then put it back into operation. The components are not made of good material, they are too light for dough. It's a shame for its price, it's not worth it.
Influenced by the positive reviews, I bought it.
It has a nice appearance up to a point...
After the second speed, the body dances with the lid, it can't handle making dough with 2 eggs.
It sounds very loud, especially after the third level, the noise is crazy.
The accessories are like children's toys, they wear out over time...
It struggles with tough dough, I dare not imagine what will happen if I put 2 kilograms of flour to make tsoureki.
Okay, the price is good, but even 85 euros are not enough for anyone, I think.
It's better to spend a little more and get a reliable brand, as I saw in a video, the watts are misleading, it definitely isn't 1200 with how much it struggles with a simple pizza dough
I love it! At first, I was skeptical and thought that you can't buy a decent kitchen machine at such a price, but luckily this one proved me wrong. I bought it on sale for about €77 in mid-April and we have made tsoureki, dough, bread, etc. without any difficulty. The motor is very powerful and relatively quiet compared to its power. It doesn't "walk" on the countertop like I read in the comments about other kitchen machines when I was researching. It has the 3 basic attachments that the others have, the bowl is large, and the construction materials seem to be of good quality. I could easily compare it to machines over €150, if not more. (My mom has an izzy kitchen machine that cost twice as much and it can't be compared to this one). For the money I paid, I am completely satisfied and based on my experience so far, I think it will withstand the test of time. Value for money 100%
We bought it for 85 euros during Easter for making tsoureki. Its use for this specific preparation was effortless. It didn't seem to struggle and the tsourekia turned out great. We also made dough for pizza and bread. In terms of construction, it appears durable and definitely looks much better up close than in the photo. I believe that for its price, it is very good and without having any other experience with kitchen machines, I think it easily compares to branded kitchen machines costing 150-200 euros. Apart from the 3 known mixing tools, it doesn't have any other accessories, which is fine since if it did, it would be more expensive without reason. What I don't know is its durability over time and especially the durability of the motor. The motor is indeed very powerful and doesn't hesitate even with tough doughs, but it still remains a Chinese machine of unknown origin, so this creates some concern. Also, with the suction cups it has underneath, it grips onto the countertop and I didn't notice it moving at all during its operation. Finally, something else important for some people is that it is quiet compared to other kitchen machines. I will come back with additional feedback if needed after a few months of use.
Edit: 2 weeks later, we have made bread many times and the machine works perfectly. We also made a cake, which was a piece of cake as expected.
Edit2: 1 year later, the machine works perfectly. It is mainly used for making 1kg of bread every 2 days approximately.
I wanted to try it first on dough before writing a review, very good kitchen machine for the money, it beats very well from cake batter to bread dough, pizza and tsoureki, I hope it will withstand time.
update: 6 months later and it is perfect in everything. I use it almost every day for doughs, pizzas, bread.
Fantastic kitchen machine, I got it on sale for 69.90 with a 3-year warranty. Very powerful motor, my old Delonghi mixer used to take 30 minutes to mix, but with this one, it only takes 6 minutes. Durable and good quality construction, the noise is low up to the 4th speed, but from the 5th speed and above, it gets a bit noisy, although it's not noticeable because the mixing time is short. Large, lightweight, and ergonomic bowl with no weight at all. It's worth the extra money, considering that other models with similar motors sell for 300w or 400w. Very satisfied with the choice, and it has suction cups underneath to keep it stable. Awesome design. The only negative is that it's a bit big for small kitchens, although it's smaller than other competitors. If you have a small kitchen, simply don't choose it, just like the other models from the competition, choose a smaller one.
