Why No. 1 beats No. 2

The Kenwood kMix Calm KMX751ACR (9.1) beats the KitchenAid Classic 4.3L Tilt-Head 5K45SS (9.0) because it is a much newer design. No. 2 leaves owners a little happier, but not by enough to close the gap. It takes our Best Premium badge instead.

About the Kenwood kMix Calm KMX751ACR

The kMix Calm uses a planetary mixing action: the beater turns on its own axis while it travels round the bowl. The motor is 1000W and the speed is set with an electronic dial across 6 speeds. A fold function handles delicate mixes such as meringue or whipped cream folded into batter.

The bowl is polished stainless steel and holds 5 litres. Kenwood gives these maximums: 1.35kg of dough, 2.72kg of cake mix, 680g of pastry flour and 12 egg whites. The body is metal and the finish is cream. It measures 38.5 x 24 x 35.3cm and weighs 8.86kg by Kenwood's figure, though one retailer lists 9.1kg.

In the box are an aluminium K-beater, a stainless steel dough tool, a stainless steel whisk, a splashguard and a spatula. The splashguard has a large feed tube for adding ingredients while it runs. There is cord storage, and the slow speed hub takes optional Kenwood attachments such as a food mincer.

What owners report about the Kenwood kMix Calm KMX751ACR

Owner feedback for this exact model is thin. The reviews we could open were two on a Finnish retailer's page, and the UK retailer pages would not load for us.

Both owners were happy. One said it kneads dough well and looks stylish on the worktop. The other said it suits their kitchen and made their best buns yet. Ease of use was marked slightly lower than build quality and value, but neither owner described a fault.

There is nothing yet on how it holds up after months of use, so treat the long-term picture as unknown.

Who the Kenwood kMix Calm KMX751ACR suits

It suits people who bake bread, cakes and pastry regularly and want more bowl and motor than a compact mixer gives. The 5L bowl and 1000W motor cope with a 1.35kg dough load, and the cream metal body is meant to be left out on show.

At about 9kg it is heavy to lift in and out of a cupboard, so it suits a worktop that can stay occupied. If you want a smaller, lighter machine, the Kenwood Go KZM35.000RD or the Daewoo Essentials Stand Mixer 3.5L are better fits. If you want built-in scales, look at the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker KVC65.001WH. If you want a wider choice of colours, KitchenAid offers more.

How we score it

Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Too few review sites cover stand mixers for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 20 models for this guide before settling on these ten.

Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
