Sadly, for me, my mixer died not long after I bought this and I had to buy a Kenwood. So would have bought the mixer as an accessory, for less than half the price.However this is a fairly heavy, strong mincer. Meat can get stuck in the nooks and crannies making ir a fiddle to clean and it only has two slicers. It has no 'airs and graces' in it's design - just basic and practical. None of the above means I don't like it as it does what it says and minces well.
