Customer’s Positive Review:
We’ve used this weekly to make bread dough and cookie dough. We’ve also used it for making soups and mashed potatoes, though not so much lately.
If you are in the habit of making your food from scratch, this handy machine will take A LOT of the manual labour out of the job (this coupled with a Cuisinart food processor are time-saving necessities!).
I highly highly recommend this Artisan version because of the higher horsepower. To note: We have been using it literally every week for the past 3 years and have never had a problem with it.
Customer’s Negative Review:
I bought this over a month ago and it was quick to overheat and make incredibly loud squeaking noises as it mixed, I didn’t want to replace it because it was a hassle I didn’t want to deal with but then I decided to go ahead and replace, turns out my defective original machine got replaced by another defective machine.
What are the odds of that happening? The head that spins, cracked, on the very first use, as soon as I unboxed it, and I had no idea until I saw little tiny specks of metal in my dough, it deposited metal shavings in the dough and I had to throw it out. The one machine I’m excited to add to my kitchen, the brand that has a solid reputation, turns out to be defective, twice! It blows, I don’t want to try a third time, I don’t even want the mixer anymore.
The KitchenAid mixers are the favourites among many in the western market like U.S and European country. It is no surprise as the mixers achieve a great balance among power, size, and design,
If you’re a frequent baker, you’ll know that the tilt-head stand mixer commonly has a smaller base than bowl-lift stand mixers.
With this Artisan mixer, the 4.8L stainless steel bowl is large and is open enough that you can easily scrape the sides without having to adjust the head.
This mixer comes with dough hook, wire whip and beater. So it is very versatile.
KitchenAid Artisan series 5 uses planetary mixing action instead of stationary mixing. Planetary mixing is what set aparts budget mixers and premium mixers.
Planetary mixers will rotate around the bowl on their own so that it doesn’t miss out on anything left at the corner of the bowl.
It usually required almost zero manual intervention and able to produce a good mix.
KitchenAid appliances are famous for its fun and colourful designs. This Kitchen Artisan series 5 mixer is no exception that it has all kinds of colours to suit your character.
Unfortunately, some have commented that this particular model can feel underpowered if you need to make a lot of stiff or wet doughs.
KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer only comes with a 1-year local manufacturer warranty. (Another downside for this expensive mixer, the relatively short warranty given its high price tag)
2. Kitmens KM-B5 Stand Mixer
The Kitmens Stand Mixer KM-B5 is coming from a new local kitchen appliance brand, Kitmens. This stand mixer is probably the best KitchenAid alternative.
The mixer quality is on-par with KitchenAid but costs only one-third of KitchenAid Stand Mixer.
Kitmens KM-B5 Stand Mixer Features Highlight:
- Accessories – Dough hook, Beater and Ballon Whisk, Pouring Shield
- Convenient attachment holder on the mixer
- 5.2 litres bowl capacity
- Full steel body construction (9.9kg)
- Digital control for 8 mixing speed
- Digital countdown timer
- 800W DC motor
- Silent operation
- Free personalisation engraving
- Optional add-ons for more functions, eg: pasta, grinding, slicer, grater
- 5 years motor warranty
Customer’s Positive Review:
This mixer always makes my work easier and it also doesn’t make much noise during works. The timer also helps me do my work more flexible.
Love the design especially the storage for the 3 different hooks. This machine does not shake, very stable. Powerful for all types of recipes.
Customer’s Negative Review:
-Nil-
Unlike other cheaper stand mixers that use an AC motor, Kitmens KM-B5 is powered by an 800W DC motor.
The motor is the heart of a stand mixer. A mixer mixing quality and durability are determined largely by its motor.
Kitmens even backed up its motor with a five-year warranty. It’s this that makes Kitmens stand out from the competition.
Another benefit of DC motor mixers is that it is noticeably quieter than AC motor mixers.
Given the powerful motor, this stand mixer is capable of mixing and kneading up to 1KG of flour or beating 12 egg whites at one go. The bowl given is 5.2 litres.
The design of Kitmens KM-B5 is very sleek and modern. That’s not all, it has a few unique features which you won’t find on other stand mixers:
- Digital countdown timer
- Dedicated on-body hook storage area
- Free custom engraving
The digital countdown timer is very handy especially when most of us need to multitask when baking and cooking.
Its dedicated hook/attachment storage makes sure you will never misplace your attachment anymore.
With the personalized engraving on the Kitmens stand mixer, it makes the ideal gift for your spouse or partner.
And last but not least, the Kitmens KM-B5 weighs about 9.9kg, which makes it sturdy enough for high-speed mixing. However, the weight is still manageable for women.
The stand mixer’s weight is mostly due to its solid full steel body construction.
To give you some context, KitchenAid Series 5 Stand Mixer is also around 10kg, 22 pounds.
In contrast, the PerySmith PS5500 weighs only 4.2kg. When mixing heavy bread dough at high speed, it can wobble more vigorously.
Overall, Kitmens KM-B5 Stand Mixer is a great package with a powerful DC motor, solidly built and comes with a very generous warranty period on its motor.
3. PerySmith 5.5L Stand Mixer 1200W Easy Cooking Series PS5500

Customer’s Positive Review:
Received package in good condition, seller is responsive on shipping and fast delivery, good quality and easy to use, already tested.. worth it to buy.. recommended, tq seller.
Customer’s Negative Review:
The total weight of the mixer is light and can easily move around. Looks a bit cheap since the mixer is made from plastic but what do you expect from a low priced mixer.
Tried and it works but sadly the mixer cannot scrape to the side and bottom of the bowl. I had to manually scrape it multiple times and mix it again but it still didn’t fully combine.
It’s a good value for once in a while baker. In the long run or for a full-time baker, probably needs a higher quality mixer.
It comes with a 5.5L SUS304 stainless steel bowl. Also, it is equipped with 6-speed settings and a pulse feature to produce the texture and result you need.
A noteworthy highlight is the mixer is pre-equipped with a transparent lid that gives you a full view of what’s happening in the bowl without worry about any splatter.
The detachable 5.5L bowl can take up to 1kg of flour and mix into a nice consistent mixture.
Furthermore, the stand mixer also comes with a metal stirring hook and flat beater for mixing bread dough and more.
This Perry smith mixer is also using planetary mixing motion, which is definitely a big plus point.
Perysmith PS5500 stand mixer comes with a good 2 years local supplier warranty.
4. Russell Taylors 1000W 5L Stand Mixer SM-1000 Cake Kitchen Blender
Rusell Taylors SM-1000 mixer spots a 1000W powerful motor. It easily has a combined online sales of more than 10,000 units with rating of 4.9 out of 5.0 star.

Customer’s Positive Review:
Very satisfying purchase, true to what’s being advertised. Good quality & powerful motor… wife just love it
Customer’s Negative Review:
once I put it directly on working table, the suction is strong, but it still wobbles when knead on medium speed. probably because the suction cups are a little small for this machine.
the weight of the machine is quite lightweight. the accessories I think it’s made of alloy instead of stainless steel. please choose the correct size or volume based on your baking needs.
I baked bread in small quantity, the kneading tool sometimes missed the dough at the side, I had to stop the machine and gather the dough and start again.
For this price, it’s good enough. delivery is very fast. nicely packed like what the others said, a double box with a proper polyfoam to protect the machine. 3 point pin.
First thing first, if you have followed techrakyat.com long enough. You know I don’t usually recommend China OEM products.
You can compare Russel Taylors SM1000 to PerySmith PS5500 side by side, and find that they look uncannily similar.
Regardless of the above, it is still one of the most popular stand mixers in Malaysia, this has been sold in the thousands (and still counting) in Malaysia with great reviews.
Many have commented that this is also great for bread making.
You are given a choice among 3-speed settings with a pulse feature to give it short and powerful bursts for the texture you want.
The given dough hook helps with making well-mixed dough and cake mixes. The beater gives creamier and thoroughly well beaten and light batters.
This stand mixer’s rubber base helps heaps in stopping the mixer from moving around when in use.
Its contemporary and sleek design does complement to any kitchen.
Russell Taylors SM-1000 stand mixer comes with a 1-year local manufacturer warranty.
(Which is shorter than PerrySmith’s 2 years, if i were to choose between these two, I think I will go for PerrySmith for a stronger motor and longer warranty)

Pro: – Don’t have any problem kneading 500g – 1kg bread dough – Stop by itself if you leave it alone for a long period.
Customer’s Negative Review:
a little bit noisy – take some time to get a perfect elastic dough
Spotting a more compact yet retro design, this stand mixer has curve edge all rounds.
It is powered by a 1300W motor, which makes it the most powerful above these 3 mixer machines mentioned above.
The large 6.5L stainless steel bowl gives you the capability to do bigger bakes too.

Fitted with six speeds settings allow you to have more flexibility to choose which speed suits you best.
The whisk is useful to incorporate the maximum amount of air into the mixture giving you the rise you need.

8. 7-Speeds 260W Stand Mixer (Electric Hand Mixer)
There’s no specific brand or vendor to be recommended here.
There are just too many Lazada and Shopee merchants selling these OEM stand mixers. And I believe these mixers quality are more or less equivalent.
Selling at less than RM50, this stand mixer is no doubt the most popular mixer with sales numbers of more than 10,000 units.

- Accessories – 2 stainless steel beaters, 2 stainless steel dough kneading hooks
- Dual-purpose stand and hand mixer
- 7 speeds adjustment
- 2.5L stainless steel bowl
Customer’s Positive Review:
Good product quality, good value for money, fast delivery, excellent service by seller
Customer’s Negative Review:
Very bad quality n not worth of money. Very disappointed.
Given the bad economic condition, I can understand why many have bought this mixer.
So, buyer of this mixer should set the expectation correctly.
The 7 Speeds 260W Stand Mixer can double up as a hand mixer as well; simply detach it and use it as a hand mixer or if you prefer, you can attach it back to the stand and it becomes a stand mixer again.
The 260W motor is decent for small capacity cooking.
Its 2.5L stainless steel bowl is able to take in 800g flour at one go.
It gives you 7 speeds setting adjustment for various mixture texture control.
The beaters and dough hooks are made of stainless steel. The whole set of things for less than RM50 is truly value for money.
Last but not least, I again want to highlight that for these types of cheap mixers is not meant for heavy-duty usage.
They are meant for light usage and hobby baker. And not meant for continuous mixing and stiring for long period of time.
Most 7-Speeds 260W Stand Mixer sold on Lazada & Shopee comes with a 1-year local supplier warranty.

Customer’s Positive Review:
Super like the feature of suctions at the bottom for extra stability, it is indeed energy saving and time-saving mixer, the hooks/tips able to whisk and mix till the bottom of bowl (at higher speed specifically for each type of mixing hook/tip),
and I found the plastic Splashguard to be very handy especially when you need to rest the bread dough, you don’t even need to change to other containers with lid or cover with plastic wrap , with this , you just need to detach the hook/tip and close it .
And the Splashguard making cleaning so much easier as it really avoid the splash so efficiently , with inlet, you don’t need to open the entire Splashguard /lid, all you need to do is just add egg , sugar etc. via the inlet. Excellent product!! Keep it up!👍
Customer’s Negative Review:
Barang dah smpai. Tapi mixing tak dapat 😔😔😔😔 Seepatutnye dapat 3 jenis kneading whisking Dan mixing. Sedih ye..

Its base has 4 strong suction cups to ensure higher stability and performance when in use.

Stand Mixers FAQ
What are the best stand mixers brand in Malaysia?
We think KitchenAid is a reliable mixer brand. It has a century of reputation in producing mixers and often receives praise from many online review outlets.
What is a planetary mixer?
Planetary mixers have a single beater that spins on its axis while it rotates around the bowl. This action ensures more points of contact and thus more consistent mixing.
Planetary mixer vs. stationery mixer?
A planetary mixer is better. Stationary mixers don’t mix thoroughly. Without manual intervention, the attachments never touch the entire contents of the mixing bowl as they only carve through a single trough.
How do I choose a mixer?
Pick a mixer based on your needs. You shall consider criteria such as bowl size, available attachment, motor power, speed settings and planetary mixer.
