Morphy Richards 400406 Total Control Folding Stand Mixer - Red

A great bit of kitchen kit..folding flat makes it fit in the smallest cupboard..as a powerful. Motor..stainless steel rotating bowl..3 sets of steel beaters.

Powerful, Compact and versatile. Bowl doesnt lock in and attachments don't reach everwhere and a use of a spatula or wooden spoon helps, but apart from than that it is spot on.

My wife, (who before we married was a trained chef and who these days just makes excellent cakes and pastrys for me and the family), really hated this food mixer as she said that it was totally useless and she was much better off with a an electric hand mixer. She needed to keep scrapping the sides and the bottom of the mixing bowl with the spatula that is supplied and is included in the box in order to mix all of the ingredients together which effectively means that you end up mixing the ingredients, (by hand), with a spatula which is the complete opposite of what was hoped for. It does fold up well and it does store away neatly saving a lot of space but it is virtually ineffective as a food mixer and since that is its main purpose it gets only one star. We usually like Morphy Richards and we have a few of their items which are good but this is one to avoid.

I love it much better than old one cos it very old since 1996, so my husband bought me for Xmas present I am so happy have new one and it easy fold up and put away in cupboard thumb up.

For six months this product was excellent then one of the beaters snapped while I was making cake mix - have tried and failed to find and buy replacements - not impressed, considering the cost, with the quality of the beaters or the ability to buy replacement parts - would buy a different brand next time

I bought this actually as a replacement for a friends one which I broke! It says not to use for long periods of time (like a few minutes) but I was trying to make aquafaba meringue which takes a bit of a beating! So because I had it one for longer than it suggested, it must have overheated and fried the insides, made so much noise after that I felt awful and bought her a new one. So in summary, good for if you're mixing small things which don't take much time. But for heavier use, get something more robust!

Really pleased with the machine, excellent price too. Does everything you need and if you are short on space it's ideal, so easy to store away.

Had it for a little over a year before it broke. The gears driving the whisks are made of plastic, and they broke. It didn't get much use. Using plastic to do an important job as those gears did is poor design.
