The Lakeland Deluxe is a large-bowl planetary stand mixer in a sage green finish, aimed at home bakers who make big batches. Its 6.5 litre bowl and 1,800 W motor put it among the more powerful mixers on this site, and a digital timer lets you set the knead and step away. It suits pizza makers who want capacity and power without the extra features of premium machines.

- A 6.5 L stainless bowl gives room for double batches in one mix.

Good to know
- Lakeland lists a 1-year guarantee, shorter than the KitchenAid and Kenwood terms in this guide.

Our take
Motor and mixing action
Lakeland describes the 1,800 W motor as heavy-duty, able to handle large batches of dense dough, batters and delicate mixes. Planetary mixing moves the tool around the bowl as it spins, which Lakeland says leaves no unmixed ingredients behind.
Ten speed settings plus a pulse give fine control. For pizza dough, the lower speeds are the ones that matter, as kneading works best slow and steady.
Bowl and timer
The 6.5 L stainless bowl is large enough for double batches of cake or bread in a single mix, according to the listing. A built-in digital timer helps you repeat the same knead time each week, which makes it easier to get consistent dough.
In the box are a whisk, a dough hook and a beater. The listing does not state a maximum flour or dough weight.
Size, weight and guarantee
Amazon lists the mixer at 44.5 x 40.5 x 29.5 cm and 6.6 kg, with an aluminium body and dishwasher-safe parts. That is light for a 6.5 L mixer, which makes it easy to move, though heavier machines tend to sit more firmly when kneading stiff dough.
Lakeland gives a 1-year guarantee, with returns accepted up to a year from purchase with proof of purchase. That is shorter than the five years KitchenAid lists for its Artisan.
Lakeland, Karaca or Kenwood
The Karaca Mastermaid Chef Ultra goes further on paper with 2,000 W and a 7 L bowl, plus overheat protection. The Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL has 1,200 W, 7 L and 5 L bowls, built-in scales and a spiral dough tool. The Lakeland sits between them with a big bowl and a timer.
Verdict
The Lakeland Deluxe suits bakers who want a big bowl, a strong motor and a timer in a straightforward mixer. If you want the highest stated power and overheat protection, look at the Karaca Mastermaid Chef Ultra. If built-in scales and a spiral dough tool appeal, the Kenwood Titanium Chef Baker XL is the more complete machine.
