I bought it in March and used it twice to make meringue (nothing that would strain the machine, in short). In April, first repair for 120 euros, until July it broke down again, another repair, and now it's September and it broke down again, so I threw it away.
tldr: I can't give it less than 4 stars because it performs all its tasks well. I can't give it more because it could be easier to set up and clean.
Replaced a Philips one that had a problem and Philips stopped producing any kitchen machines, so I will compare it to that.
PROS: It performs all its tasks satisfactorily and doesn't leave any unfinished work. The only thing it lacks is the ability to bake, but that's not expected at this level.
One function I liked is that the speed gradually increases to avoid unnecessary splatters.
Many people say that kitchen machines shake and jump on the counter when kneading. Firstly, even my grandmother didn't do it while smoking, let alone a household appliance with moving parts... Secondly, if the suction cups it has for legs are clean and touch a smooth surface, it won't go anywhere.
CONS:
Bowl: The bowl is not very sturdy, doesn't have a handle, and its bottom is plastic.
The splash guard of the bowl doesn't fit easily with the head down, nor can it be placed with the head up, as it doesn't have anything to hold onto from the head. Every time the head is lifted, the attachment you use will take the guard with it and naturally dirty it, even if it wasn't dirty during use. Of course, this way you also risk dirtying the kitchen machine itself and the counter, which it is supposed to protect. I don't see myself using it.
In the attachment hub, there is a small rubber piece that prevents mixtures from entering the inside of the kitchen machine. It is almost impossible not to remove it when taking out the attachment, and it is almost impossible to put the new attachment with it already in place, even though it takes 5-10 seconds to place it correctly if you see how it should be. I don't see myself using it.
Mixer: The blades of the mixer have no limit in their placement. You turn them to lock, but if you turn them with more force than necessary, they return to the unlocked state. It is possible that if you turn them with less force, they will come off after use, I hope I don't find out.
Chopper: In the previous kitchen machine, the bowl had an integrated gear that connected the mechanism of the kitchen machine with each attachment. This meant that the chopper only overflowed with liquids from the external walls. In this one, there is a hole in the middle of the bowl for an additional attachment to pass through, and of course, liquids can overflow onto the kitchen machine if you are a little careless. It is also an additional attachment that needs to be set up for no reason.
The dosing funnel of the chopper, which pushes the ingredients from the top, is made up of two pieces. It may help a little more when you want to grate carrots, but no matter what you do, you will have an additional attachment to clean.
Finally - and someone may not take this as a negative - the blades of the chopper are sharper than a new surgical scalpel I have used. It is clear that this will change after the first 3 uses, which makes it useless on one hand and dangerous on the other, as I cut myself 3 times during the initial cleaning. I only noticed one during washing. The others later from the blood and the third the next morning.
Lemon squeezer: The previous lemon squeezer was a single piece attachment that was mounted on top of the multi-chopper (for space saving). In this one, it is also mounted on top of the multi-chopper, but it consists of two separate parts, one with internal gears, so that you can squeeze something more and a little more difficult to clean.

I bought it in December and it developed a defect. The service told me they can't even repair it, let alone replace it. It's a shame for the money I spent and the fact that they recommended Kenwood as a reputable company.

In the end, it is an overpriced company. It's a shame that I encouraged my wife to get the best, but we were disappointed. The mixer K is painted, resulting in paint getting into the dough. It should have been made stainless steel, shouldn't it? Not to mention that it struggles with slightly harder doughs, the hinges are terrible. I had the wrong impression about Kenwood, never again, stay away.

We returned it to mediamarkt on 7/1/2021.

Very good for its price. It is an excellent compromise if you don't want to buy the expensive/powerful/large mixers that cost 400+ euros. It does a very good job if you don't need huge quantities
