INALSA Stand Mixer Professional Esperto-1400W | 100% Pure Copper Motor| 6L SS Bowl| Includes Whisking Cone, Mixing Beater & Dough Hook (Silver/Red)

It is good product

Using since 7-8 months. Good quality. Amazing result.

I bought this in Jan 2023 for my 67 year old wife. She is very happy with it as it saves her a lot of effort and does a better job than her! But within 5 months it stopped working in low speeds. Getting service support took some time and some followup too. The IC board was replaced this morning and the mixer is working fine now. Inalsa honoured the warranty terms and service support is available in Chennai. I have reduced one Star because of the failure within 5 months of purchase and the two weeks’ distruption in usage. But overall, we are happy with the mixer and the service support. This mixer is a nice gift to a woman who loves to cook and has no hangups with making use of technology.

I’ve been looking for an affordable alternative to the Kitchenaid and I may have found a really good one in the Inalsa. Well if the Kitchenaid is the Mercedes of planetary mixers, this would definitely be the Volkswagen. Maybe I speak too soon, but I’ve been using it for a few days now and I like it. It has its nagging issues which I’ll go in detail in a bit, but as affordable planetary mixers go, I happily overlook those issues.

Pros:
1. Affordability – It’s a six liter bowl mixer priced at 12k. That’s a price point every household can afford and this could make planetary mixers more mainstream. I’m glad that I don’t have to buy a mixer for 60k.

2. Noise level – I never thought I’d say this but it’s quieter than a Kitchenaid. Not sure how they managed to achieve this, but it’s noticeably quieter even at mx speed.

3. Strong suction cups – The mixer is very light and these suction cups hold it in place really well during operation.

4. Working – The movement of all attachments is smooth with not much gap between the bottom of the bowl and the attachments. That means you won’t have to scrape down often, which is a very common problem with non-Kitchenaid mixers. Inalsa seems to have gotten this right. Also this mixer can go on for a long time without heating up.

5. Speed – Has a 10 speed dial. Turns really slow at low speeds and gradually picks up as you turn it up, which is really good to prevent a cloud of flour when you add in the dry ingredients. (Well not everything is good about the dial though. I’ll come to it in the Cons section). All attachments do their job well.

Cons:
1. Speed Dial – So there’s something fundamentally wrong with the way the dial works. Sometimes turning the dial just doesn’t turn the mixer on. I thought it might be a faulty mixer and had Amazon replace it, but the replacement has the same problem as well. I’m sure it’s a known issue to Inalsa and they probably don’t think it’s important to fix it. So sometimes the dial does not work and once you turn it back to zero and turn it back on, it works. But to have such an obvious fault is just disappointing.

2. Dye cast metal paddle and dough hook. I’m not sure why Inalsa went this direction instead of providing sturdy plastic attachments. These attachments feel like they might break if they fall to the ground. I understand the dough hook needs to be metal and stainless steel may be expensive, but even the paddle is metal that’s shoddily made.

3. Extremely light weight. It is deceptively light this machine. To an extent that mixing larger volumes moves the mixer around quite a bit, especially when you knead dough. Good thing it has those rubber suction cups to hold it in place, but I’m not happy with a mixer that shakes so much when using slightly large volumes..

4. Operation – The most worrisome issue is the fact that during usage, the mild whining noise of the motor fluctuates and is not a constant. it’s as if you’re riding a bike and the throttling noise increases even if you don’t throttle. It’s difficult to explain. I refuse to believe that it’s a 1400w motor. It can handle small to med quantity of bread dough. The top can shake violently if you overload it. But so does the KitchenAid. It’s common and known issue with all tilt-head mixers and only bowl-lift mixers candi well here (which is an expensive variant of the KitchenAid.)

Overall It’s definitely an above average mixer and hence giving it a 4 star. I would recommend it if you’re using it for cakes, mouses and small quantity breads, which is good enough for households. It’s been quite some time I’ve been using it in my cafe for daily baking needs and it’s been doing really well. I’m impressed.
