‘It is a fantastic machine, the best I’ve bought over the years’
It is an exciting week for The Great British Bake Off fans, as the show’s latest series starts tonight. The new series – which sees amateur bakers battle to be crowned the top of the bunch – is particularly exciting as it’s the first to feature Nigella Lawson as a judge, and is set to kick off at 8pm on Channel 4.
To get into the baking spirit, shoppers might be looking for some new equipment – and there’s one product from Yimbly, an online marketplace owned by this site’s parent company, Reach Plc, which might just do the trick. The Homcom Electric Stand Mixer 4.5l Food Mixer With Dough Hook is currently available for £42.84 with the code AUTUMN10, reduced from its full price of £55.99.
Featuring six speeds and a pulsation setting, along with a whisk, dough hook and beater, this mixer allows home cooks and bakers to ‘whip up plenty’. From batter, pizza dough, bread dough, pastry, pasta and beyond, this mixer has shoppers covered. Its 4.5L stainless steel bowl offers plenty of room for whipping up delicious treats, and it comes in five different colours, meaning there is something to suit everyone’s tastes.

But it’s not just Yimbly getting into the GBBO spirit – Lakeland has this discounted Kenwood Multitasker mixer available for £99.99, down from £149.99. This one has seven speeds and a pulse function, a 4.3L stainless steel bowl with a handle, and it includes a K-beater, wire whisk and dough hook.
And at Morphy Richards, those who have a higher budget could snap up this 5.5L Grey Die Cast Stand Mixer for £249.99. This features an integrated timer and scale, is made from durable aluminium, and it comes with a dough hook, beater, whisk, and bowl cover.
While there are currently no reviews for the Homcom Electric Stand Mixer 4.5l Food Mixer With Dough Hook on Yimbly’s site, shoppers have left their thoughts on the product on Amazon. One shopper said: “Great mixer, does everything I want it to. Very sturdy and looks good, too.”
A second person said as part of a longer review: “I honestly love this mixer. I have always enjoyed baking, it’s kind of my thing. Unfortunately, my health is declining due to MS and hand mixing has become so difficult for me. And I honestly felt like I would have to give up. Then I got this amazing stand mixer and, with the help of a chair and an understanding family, I’m back in the kitchen.”
While a third added: “It is a fantastic machine, the best I’ve bought over the years.” Others, however, left some feedback for the mixer in their reviews.
One said: “I purchased two mixers, one for a gift and one for myself. After initial delays, which stressed me out because I thought I wouldn’t be able gift it on time on 20th March, they arrived. I opened mine, looks nice and neat, perfect size to store in the utility room or kitchen.” While another added: “It’s OK but seems a bit stiff when lifting up and down.”
