Is the Kenwood Go worth it?
Yes — for small kitchens and small budgets.
It's compact, light and has a carry handle, so it comes out of the cupboard easily. The 4 L bowl and 800 W motor handle cakes, cookies and a loaf of bread. It shakes a little with stiff dough, takes no attachments, and spare parts are hard to find.

How we reached this verdict
BBC Good Food names it the best compact stand mixer with five stars, though spare parts aren't sold online. Good Housekeeping rates it well but saw it vibrate with cookie dough and move a little while kneading. Verified owners at Currys, Otto, Boulanger and Harvey Norman love how it fits a cupboard and how easy it is; complaints are rare.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
