The stand mixer from Camry features a powerful motor with a maximum power of 2000 W, a rotary and illuminated knob for adjusting speeds from 1-6 levels, and a Pulse function. It comes with a large 5 Lt stainless steel bowl, a tilting arm for easy removal of attachments, a plastic cover to prevent splashes, timer settings from 30 sec. to 30 minutes, and an illuminated LCD screen (displaying time and speed).
The 3 different planetary motion attachments that accompany the stand mixer will allow you to utilize it for any food preparation. The whisk will perfectly fluff your mixture to make wonderful whipped cream, meringue, mayonnaise, etc., the hook is ideal for your doughs, and the beater kneads softer doughs (cookies, cakes, tarts) and homogenizes mixtures without adding volume.

Very good suction cups, quite strong for the money.
On the negative side, in my case, the heads, especially the whisk and the mixing one, do not reach even as far as the edge can or as low, so they force you to stop to gather the ingredients from the walls since neither a hand nor a spatula can fit to collect them.
Also, the heads are not dishwasher safe, so the mixing head got damaged as the surface color came off.
It looks high quality with quite good build quality, it has a relatively small bowl but a very powerful motor and very good suction cups, it has not yet been tested on heavy doughs

First impression:
The motor is electronically controlled, with 6 speeds and a pulse function. The first speed is slow, with a rate of one planetary rotation per 1.2 seconds. The acceleration is linear because the controller is electronic, not electric. It's not a click for the 1st speed... click for the 2nd speed, etc. Instead, by changing the speed with the selector, the motor responds as if you are increasing the RPM of an engine.
It has a planetary function in the head and not a rotating bowl. The only downside to this is that in order to scrape off anything that sticks to the sides of the bowl, you have to stop the operation and lift the head, just like in professional mixers. The bowl locks onto the base by rotating it to the right. It has a lid to prevent splattering with an opening for adding ingredients, which securely attaches to the head.
The heads reach the bottom of the bowl, leaving a margin of about 2 millimeters, so if you have a small amount of material, you don't have to worry about it not being mixed.
The power ranges from 1300W to 2000W at maximum power.
As it is electronically controlled, it has an adjustable 30-second timer.
The manufacturer specifies a maximum continuous operating time of 7 minutes, with a rest time of 10 minutes between each operating cycle. This obviously applies to "difficult" doughs, not whipped cream.
The locking system of the heads is similar to professional mixers, as it is attached by rotation. The stems of the dough and mixing heads are metal (which theoretically handle the main difficulties) and the egg beater is plastic.
The body lifts itself up with the press of a button and locks in the upper position. It is released by pressing the same button and locks in the operating position with a simple downward pressure.
Its dimensions are very compact for its capacity, with a width of 31.5cm, height of 28cm, and depth of 22cm.
In addition to the 3 heads, it also comes with a plastic spatula.
It is very beautiful with a compact design, stainless steel finish, and blue illumination on the control button and time display, which also indicates the selected speed.
When setting the operating/stop time, it counts down from the time you have set, which can be up to 15 minutes with intermediate options every 30 seconds.
It has 6 suction cups on the base, which are incredibly practical and efficient, preventing the machine from literally sticking to the countertop and making it difficult to move.
Unfortunately, for those sensitive to noise, it is quite noisy after the 4th speed.
It comes in a good and well-packaged box.
It performs very well with the 5th speed for doughs. For meringues and creamy mixtures, there is no issue. It can even handle these tasks satisfactorily, like a pseudo-mixer.
In terms of cost, it shows good value for money. We will see how durable it is over time.
Update 10/2023
It continues to perform satisfactorily. No issues. It does an excellent job in kneading, which is what matters!
