The GHI's topscoring kitchen gadgets

KitchenAid Artisan Mixer £349

What the GHI had to say:

'Sturdy machine which doesn't move even with heavy mixtures. Left bowl clean after making dough. Coped well with minimum and maximum amounts of mixture. Speed control and the lifting control are on either side of the machine which means it is hard to use unless the bowl is angled towards you. Attachments are a little awkward and messy to remove. Handle on bowl makes pouring out mixture mess free and easy. Good egg white volume. Clear instructions.'
