Are there any experts on Kenwood mixers?
What are the differences between the models? For example, KVL6500 and KVL8500. Bing Lee sells the first one for $550 and the latter one for $700. Is the difference mainly due to the accessories in the box?

Yeah the main difference I can see is all the accessories are stainless steel for the KVL8500, which means that they should stand up to a bit more abuse like putting in the dishwasher, which you can't with the aluminium ones. The bowl also has a handle on the KVL8500, I have the KVL6500 and it can be harder to grab onto / pour (only a minor inconvenience).
Are you happy with your Kenwood?
I am very happy with my Kenwood KVL6100. Not the exact model you're looking at but I've been able to to a lot with in and found the slow juicer and chopping attachment to work really well. It's seen a few years of use and I haven't had any issues with the unit or any attachments.
I've only had it for a couple of months after upgrading from an older Kenwood that died. This one has a longer warranty so expecting it'll last longer. Been good so far for bread/pizza dough & cakes.
Warranty if you look at the Myer website.
