Not often many discounts to be had, but Harts of Stur usually offer some good freebies.

This is where we bought our kitchen ornament from frown

It came with a lot of freebies, bowl, chooping boards, 6 bottles of wine and a few other bits and bobs.

Get a Kenwood Chef, much more robust, metal gearing.

We live about a mile from here - it's a fantastic shop!

Sure my OH paid a helluva lot less than that Amazon link too.

I don't think there's actually much in it. We've been thrashing our Kitchenaid for the past 12 years with what you'd call "heavy domestic use" and it's happily soaked up everything we've thrown at it.

Both are fit for purpose.

(one plus of the KA is that it's better looking. Might sound like an entirely irrelevant point, but it means that you're more inclined to leave it permanently on the benchtop, which means it's more accessible and you end up using it more. My mother has a Chef that's on the wrong side of 40 and still going strong, but it's as ugly as sin and lives in a cupboard, and consequently it doesn't get used as often as it deserves to).

We've got a Dualit. Quite a nice machine.

Spot on IMHO.

We have a 'chef which is abused regularly and looks to have been unceremoniously labelled as mine. The Kitchenaid is a good combo of function and pretty enough to leave out.

Just in case anyone else is in the market:

Seemed to be the best price / colour combo I could find. John Lewis wouldn't price match though and I was running out if delivery time! D'oh.
