Is the Kenwood Titanium Chef Patissier XL worth it?
Yes — for keen bakers who want every feature.
It weighs straight into the bowl, warms the bowl to prove dough and melt chocolate, and has a 7 L bowl and a 1,400 W motor for big batches. The touchscreen can be slow and fussy with doughy fingers, it's big and heavy, and a few owners had it wobble with stiff dough.

How we reached this verdict
BBC Good Food makes it its best stand mixer overall with five stars, and Expert Reviews calls it the best premium mixer, though its screen can lag. Good Housekeeping rates it well but found the touchscreen unresponsive with dirty hands. Verified Otto buyers love the build and features like the scales and warming; the few unhappy ones had it wobble with dough or fail after the guarantee.
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.
