Bowl liters, motor watts, and thirty years of attachments · review
A 5-liter planetary mixer that Klarstein states moves the tool in eight directions, with six speeds and a dough hook and whisk supplied. Its power is published twice and differently: the listing title says 2,000 W, the specification text says an 1,800 W motor. We report both.
The net of it Worth shortlisting, and worth reading twice. Klarstein does the useful thing of naming its intended job — heavy yeast and bread doughs — rather than claiming everything. It also publishes its motor power in two places and gets two different numbers: 2,000 W in the title, 1,800 W in the text. That is not a small discrepancy, and since we have no manual to arbitrate, both figures appear on this page with their sources named.
Klarstein’s title says 2,000 W. Klarstein’s own specification text, three lines below it, says a 1,800 W motor. Both are the manufacturer’s, in the same listing, and there is no manual here to arbitrate between them.
This site’s rule is to quote the manual where it contradicts the sales page. Where there is no manual to quote, the honest alternative is to publish both figures and say where each came from — which is what the specification table above does.
Either way it sits above the Kenwood’s 1,000 W and below the ProfiCook’s 2,500 W in this family.
Heavy doughs — yeast and bread. That is a specific claim, and a more useful one than a general one: a maker that names bread dough can be held to it, and the Arebos and the Kenwood in this family name nothing.
5 liters, one of them. The Arebos at a comparable price ships two. Klarstein publishes no flour weight or dough capacity to go with the liters.
Six speeds, planetary action Klarstein describes as moving the tool in eight directions, and a compact ABS housing. A dough hook and a whisk are supplied.
At the time of writing this mixer costs around 87 € on Amazon UK and around 194 € in Italy and Spain. That spread is wider than the gap between any two machines in this family — read the live price before choosing on the model alone.
The Amazon.com listing gives the voltage as 220 V, and shows the Klarstein TK2 as currently unavailable; no US price was read when this page was revised. On a 120-volt outlet a 220-volt motor runs well below its rated speed and power, and a plug adapter does not change that. The stand mixers on this site sold for 120 V — from the Hamilton Beach 63390 to the KitchenAid Artisan — are compared on the stand mixers page.

Klarstein publishes both, in the same listing: 2,000 W in the title, 1,800 W in the specification text. We do not choose between a manufacturer’s own figures. The manual that ships with the unit is the authority, and either figure puts this machine above the Kenwood’s 1,000 W in this family.
Klarstein’s description of its planetary action — the tool traveling around the bowl rather than turning on one spot. Every mixer in this family is planetary; the eight-direction phrasing is Klarstein’s, and no measurement accompanies it.

Bread and yeast doughs, from a maker that at least names what it is for.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for kitchen appliances and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
1,500 W · 2 bowls, 4.5 + 5.5 L · planetary
The only stand mixer here supplied with two stainless bowls — 4.5 and 5.5 liters — behind a 1,500 W motor Arebos states is pure copper in an ABS housing. Planetary action, six speeds, a tilting head, and a set that includes beater, dough hook, whisk and splash guard.
Best for: Baking in sequence — meringue and batter in one session, without washing up in between.
1,000 W · metal body · stepless + pulse
The kMix: a 1,000 W motor in a metal housing, with stepless speed control and a pulse function rather than fixed steps. Kenwood states the range extends with over twenty dishwasher-safe attachments, and supplies a three-piece baking set — K-beater, whisk and dough hook — plus a splash guard.
Best for: A mixer bought once, for the attachment range it opens rather than for its motor.
2,500 W · 12 L bowl · 8.5 kg (18.7 lb) dough
The only stand mixer here that publishes what it will actually turn: up to 8.5 kg (18.7 lb) of dough in a 12-liter bowl, behind a 2,500 W motor, a die-cast aluminum housing and a metal gearbox. An LED display shows speed and time. Its speed count is published twice and differently — thirteen in the title, twelve in the text.
Best for: Bread in real quantities, from someone who wants the dough figure before buying.
