This is a deal for the home cooks. The KS6300s is kenwoods new mixer, it has Stainless steel attachments not plated aluminum. I bought one of these last week for $720 :( Now can be had for $699.
Beats the hell out of a kitchenaid as usual but is a bit more expensive due to stainless steel bowl, attachments, more powerful motor and larger capacity.
If anyone would like my 2c on this mixer let me know. This mixer does come with a 5 year warranty but keep in mind it is a home mixer. It doesnt compete against a Hobart mixer ($2500-$4000). Ps. Im a baker by trade.
Have you tried the smaller KVC5000 Chef Sense series?
They look like solid mixers and are very cheap at the moment too.
I would be keen to get the food processor attachment as well.
Cheers!
KVC5020 was choice recommended but no longer made. I personally havent used it as once again it has aluminium attachments which means not dishwasher safe.
KVC5000T is discontinued.
My previous machine was a Kenwood A901D dating back to around 1981-1985.
The KVC6100 was popular too.
The KVC5000 was the size of a kitchenaid, 4.7lt bowl, 1100w motor.
The k beater on the kvc6300 is triple the size in thickness of the k beaters on all models below it. Ill post some photos to show you the difference:

The attachments are quite impressive!!
Nice one. I was wondering why the 5000s were so cheap, I guess they are clearing the last of the stock.
Just missed a special at Kitchen Warehouse for the food processor attachment for $80 or so, damn!
A Hobart has a dough hook the size of an arm…
Hobarts last a lifetime but they are around $4000. The A200 is 90kg. Not very practical for home. This kvl6300s has good attachments!
I know what they are, I used to service/repair them back in the 90s for my uncle. We did the defence forces and various other commercial kitchens gear. Spud pealers for example that are much like a pottery wheel with a sanding disc. Rebuilt gearboxes on Hobart mixers too.
