Inalsa Stand Mixer Kratos-1000W with 5L SS Bowl| Includes Whisking Cone, Mixing Beater & Dough Hook & Inalsa Food Processor INOX 1000-Watt With…

Product quality is good. It enables me in completing the mixing task within seconds. Highly recommended
as it really helpful for whipping and kneading.
Parts are easy to operate but my concern is that the machine gets hot within a few minutes.

I’ll be honest, I got this because it was the only stand mixer available on Amazon. Ideally I would have bought the kitchen aid artisan series which is the best one by far but it sells for twice the price that in India (~250 dollars in US and Rs 46,000 here). So with that out of the way, I found this ok with most tasks and here is my feedback to help you decide.

The build quality is very average. It weights just 3.3kgs and isnt stable enough than better stand mixers. As this stays fixed in its location a heavier base would mean more stability. The provided vacuum feet do help a little but this issue is very apparent when you are working with high hydration dough mixes. Additionally, its entirely plastic and the hooks provided dont inspire much confidence. The bowl doesnt have a handle so it definitely affects handling and moving stuff around. I tried a pizza dough with 65% hydration (360 gms flour and 210 gms water) and it was really struggling to incorporate the dough well towards the end. In the end, it started vibrating and walking around the counter at high speeds. The head of the mixer was also wobbling and I dont have much confidence in its long term reliability -I hope it doesnt break off one day. In the end I had to knead the dough manually for three minutes as the machine couldnt handle it. It fares better with lesser difficult tasks like cake batter and cookie dough. The second design flaw is that the dough hooks and other beaters have a large gap from the bottom of the bowl. The planetary action is good and it covers a large portion of the bowl but it missed the bottom area. I had to stop the mixing and scrape the bottom a couple of times to get good results.

The final and most eggregious flaw is that there is absolutely no speed control. The lowest speed is a blitz and if you dont attach the cover you will see flour flying everywhere. What you want is to start off slow and let the ingredients mix before bumping up the speed. Here it is fourth gear from the start itself. I didnt see a lot of speed in the higher settings. You dont need a 1000w motor here, the kitchenaids have 250w motors but high torque needed to knead doughs. This is why this fails with kneading. This is why I bought this machine – to help with rotis daily and occasional pizza or pita bread dough making. It fails miserably and you have to manually take over towards the end.

There you have it. I dont think you need this in your kitchen as you can do the easier tasks with a cheaper hand held mixer. Where you need it most is to save yourself ten minutes of kneading dough and this doesnt solve that problem. If you have the money to spare, get the kitchenaid mixer or carry on kneading with hand.

Inalsa indulges in a very shady practice where you get 6 months extended warranty for writing a positive review here on Amazon. This probably explains glowing reviews for this mediocre piece of equipment. I returned this after testing out for various use cases. It fails while kneading dough and is unable to form nice and stretchy final product. IF you use high high hydration doughs a large mass sits at the bottom of the mixer and you have to finish it yourself. I’d suggest to get a better quality standmixer. Thanks to Amazon for the amazing customer service as usual.

It has a good impression and also affordable.

I think it’s a fantastic product. The dough maker makes things easy and quick. My only issue is that the build quality seems a little off. While running and kneading the dough the full head starts vibrating aggressively. In the picture, the body appears to be of metal but its a little cheap quality plastic
