The Kenwood kMix KMX751ABK is a metal-bodied stand mixer in sleek black that Kenwood pitches at everyday baking, with heavy bread and pizza dough named in the listing. It pairs a 1,000 W motor with a 5 litre bowl and planetary mixing. It suits home bakers who want a well-built mixer for regular dough without paying for scales or warming bowls.

In its favour
- Kenwood names heavy bread and pizza dough as jobs the 1,000 W motor handles.
- Gentle start and variable speed help stop flour clouding out of the bowl.
- A splash guard with a pouring chute lets you add water while it runs.
Good to know
- There are no scales or timer, unlike the Titanium Chef models.
- The specs list 240 W and 50 V, which clash with the 1,000 W in the bullets.
Our take
Motor and mixing
Kenwood says the 1,000 W motor handles everything from light whisking to heavy bread and pizza dough with less effort. Planetary mixing action reaches every part of the bowl so ingredients combine evenly.
Variable speed control comes with a gentle start, which ramps up slowly to stop flour flying out when you switch on. Kenwood also mentions a fold function and smart speed control in the specs.
In the box
You get a 5 L stainless steel bowl, a K-beater, a whisk and a dough hook. A splash guard with a pouring chute lets you add water or oil while the mixer runs, handy when bringing pizza dough together.
The listing does not state a flour or dough weight per batch, but a 5 L bowl gives room for a good family batch.
A metal body also helps it stay put on the worktop while the hook works a firm dough.
Odd figures in the specs
The specification table lists 240 W and 50 V, which do not match the 1,000 W in the bullets and look like data entry errors. Rely on Kenwood's own product page for the electrical rating. Amazon gives the size as 38.5 x 35.3 x 24 cm and 8.86 kg, with six speeds.
Unlike Kenwood's Titanium Chef range, there are no built-in scales or timer.
kMix against KitchenAid and Chef Baker XL
The KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM125 has a 4.8 L bowl, 10 speeds and a five year warranty but a 300 W rating. The Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL adds 7 L and 5 L bowls, scales and a spiral dough tool at 1,200 W. The kMix sits between them, with more stated power than the Artisan and fewer extras than the Chef.
Verdict
The kMix suits everyday bakers who want a stylish metal mixer with a 5 L bowl and enough stated power for pizza dough. If you want scales and a bigger bowl, the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL is the step up. If a five year warranty and a wide range of attachments matter most, the KitchenAid Artisan is the alternative.
