Performance

The Laura Ashley Floral-Print 6L 6-Speed Die-Cast Stand Mixer is beautifully designed, and the floral Rose graphic makes it look elegant. The die-cast aluminum housing provides a strong and durable structure, which I am sure will guarantee a long life for this mixer that will be frequently used in our household. The 6-liter stainless steel mixing bowl is spacious enough to accommodate large batches, so much so that I think even the professional baker would be pleased.

The 1,800-watt motor, which is designed with full metal gears, delivers exceptional power for mixing and whipping batters and dough of every consistency we have used the mixer for. So far, we have banana bread, chocolate bread, cookies, and since this is Easter week, we made Cross Buns. It is even more versatile because of the rotary control that offers six speeds, and a pulse function that allows us to get the batter exactly right. The cover has an opening that makes it easy to add ingredients, and the tilt-head design makes it easy to open and close the mixer if we choose to add ingredients that way or if we need to change attachments without removing the bowl.

I like the accessories that come with the mixer, which include a dough hook, beater, egg whisk, and splash cover, and they are dishwasher safe. IMHO, the only negative that I hear my wife repeat and I agree with is that this mixer is not whisper quiet. In fact, it is quite loud. However, it performs so well that the noise is not a big deal. Some would say that it adds to the authenticity of a baking environment.

The following photos show the initial mixture and final product of some cookies that my wife baked.

My wife also bakes bread using healthy ingredients. The loaves are golden brown, and the bread tastes great.

This next photo is of chocolate bread my wife made using dark raw chocolate, bananas, and other ingredients.

Last but not least, believe it or not, this is a cake my son baked using this Laura Ashley Floral-Print 6L 6-Speed Die-Cast Stand Mixer.

See it in action

Final thoughts

The Laura Ashley Floral-Print 6L 6-Speed Die-Cast Stand Mixer is a winner for our household. My wife finds a reason to use it daily, and every day, there is some newly baked delicious food on the kitchen counter. IMHO, it is a 100% winner!!
