Bowl liters, motor watts, and thirty years of attachments · review
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.
The net of it The one that answers the family’s real question. Every other stand mixer here publishes liters of bowl and leaves you to guess what that means in flour; ProfiCook publishes 8.5 kg (18.7 lb) of dough in a 12-liter bowl, and that single pair of numbers is worth more than three wattages. A metal gearbox is the other thing to note — plastic gears are where cheap mixers die. It also cannot count its own speeds consistently, which is worth a raised eyebrow rather than a rejection.
This is the figure the whole family should publish and only ProfiCook does: up to 8.5 kg (18.7 lb) of dough in a 12-liter bowl.
Bowl liters tell you how much air the bowl holds. Dough weight tells you what the machine will actually turn without stalling, and it is the only number that lets a baker plan a batch. The Arebos publishes 4.5 and 5.5 liters, the Klarstein 5 liters, and the Kenwood publishes no bowl figure at all — none of the three says a word about flour.
Metal gearing in a die-cast aluminum housing. On a mixer, stiff dough is a torque problem, and molded plastic gears are where inexpensive machines fail. ProfiCook is the only maker in this family to state what is inside.
The highest published power here by a wide margin — a thousand watts above the Arebos, two and a half times the Kenwood.
The title says thirteen. The specification text says twelve. Both are ProfiCook’s. We publish both with their sources rather than picking the flattering one; the manual shipped with the unit is the authority.
An LED display shows speed and time together, which is more feedback than any other mixer here offers.
Dimensions and weight. A 12-liter bowl on a 2,500 W base is not a small object, and it is the one thing you cannot check against your countertop before it arrives.

ProfiCook publishes both in the same listing: thirteen in the title, twelve in the specification text. We do not choose between a manufacturer’s own figures, and both appear above with their sources. Either way it is twice the six steps of the Arebos and the Klarstein.
The gearbox is what transmits the motor’s force to the tool, and on inexpensive mixers it is where failure happens under stiff dough. ProfiCook states metal gearing and a die-cast aluminum housing; the other three mixers on this site publish neither.

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.
1,800 or 2,000 W · 5 L · planetary, 8 directions
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.
Best for: Bread and yeast doughs, from a maker that at least names what it is for.
