Kitfort KT-1338 is a planetary mixer capable of creating a perfectly even consistency of soft and hard ingredients. It differs from its classic counterparts in a wider scope, convenience, the ability to mix and whisk products in an automatic mode. The advantages are due to the presence of a planetary system: during operation, the nozzles simultaneously rotate around its axis, as well as along the diameter of the circumference of the bowl. As a result, users can mix different products to achieve a wide variety of culinary purposes: from preparing pizza dough to minced meat for delicate sausages or meatballs. Consider the Kitfort KT-1338 review to learn about all the advantages and disadvantages of the model.

Kitfort KT-1338 Planetary Mixer Review

Just want to dispel the myth that the mixer is inferior to the blender in working with liquid ingredients. It took me a few minutes to make a delicious mashed potato. In the same positive result, the new planetary mixer pleased in the process of making pizza. In addition, Kitfort KT-1338 copes with the preparation of sauces, creams, mousses.

The device was delivered in a cardboard box. On the front side is a diagram of the device. On the sides, the manufacturers decided to indicate technical information about the device. I don’t know if Kitfort’s review of the planetary mixer should focus on the practicality of the box, but still share my impressions. There are no handles for easy transportation. Nevertheless, the box is informative, and will immediately give you a first impression of the product.

Having opened the box, I realized that at the manufacturer’s factory they are responsible for the safety of equipment: all the individual elements are packed in plastic bags. At the same time, cardboard tabs provide additional protection against impacts, tightly fixing each independent structural element. After removing the contents of the box, the following details were discovered:

  • Metal bowl;
  • Whisk for whipping;
  • Lid for the bowl;
  • Two hooks for making dough;
  • Nozzle for mixing ingredients;
  • Instruction;
  • Warranty card.

Honestly, I was pleased with the configuration. Especially, the presence of two hooks, with the help of which the dough is kneading evenly and quickly.

Ergonomics and appearance

I will not focus on the description of the design in the review of the Kitfort KT-1338 planetary mixer, because you yourself know the taste and color. Personally, I don’t really like the silver color, but my girlfriend appreciated the glossy gloss and streamlined shape of the device. The kitchen design fits really well. The device does not look cheap.

I, in turn, was pleased with the length of the cord, as there are already enough household appliances in the kitchen. High-quality non-slip legs of the mixer with suction cups deserve attention. With their help, it was not a problem to fix the device on a work surface. In addition, the developers took care of the presence of ventilation holes that are responsible for the removal of hot air flows and protect the motor (1000 W) from overheating.

On the front side there is a speed controller, a handle for opening the engine compartment.

The mixing bowl is made of stainless steel. Actually, like nozzles. There are no defects or scratches on the surface. The design of the planetary mixer is equipped with a protective cover that prevents splashing of food.

Ease of use planetary mixer

Ease of use planetary mixer

In this part of the review of the Kitfort KT-1338 model, I want to talk about the simplicity of controlling the mixer. I did not have to study the instructions to understand how everything works:

  1. For inclusion it is necessary to turn a speed regulator, rotating clockwise;
  2. To turn off, turn the knob to the “0” position;
  3. The pulse mode for short-term operation of the planetary mixer is activated by rotating the control in the opposite direction. At the end of a certain period of time, the controller returns to its original position - the device turns off automatically;
  4. Only 6 speeds.

Thus, even a novice user can cope with management.

Before using the mixer, developers recommend thoroughly rinsing all contact parts. Additionally, using a damp cloth, I recommend that you clean the unit and thoroughly wipe the moisture.

There are no problems with preparing the device for work either:

  1. We open the engine compartment with a handle on the front of the device;
  2. Set the bowl with the ingredients;
  3. We insert the necessary nozzles into the spindles;
  4. We turn on the device using the speed controller.

In fact, the device is going much faster than it takes time to read the above lines, but it was definitely worth mentioning in the review of the Kitfort KT-1338 planetary mixer.
Regarding the purpose of the nozzles:

  • whisk for whipping is suitable for mixing cream, whipping proteins, other liquid ingredients;
  • The mixing nozzle is designed to work with light foods. You can cook mashed potatoes, tomato paste;
  • hooks are suitable for quick and efficient kneading of dough.

Let's start testing the device using different nozzles.

Making pizza dough

Making pizza dough

The pizza dough was being prepared for the first time, in fact, just like the Kitfort planetary mixer was testing. I expected that I would have to make excuses, but it turned out pretty well, in my opinion. For the preparation of the test I used 150 milliliters of water, in which I added about 5 grams of yeast. Stirred with an ordinary tablespoon. Next, added a little sugar and 2 cups flour. After 10 minutes, set the bowl in the planetary mixer and put on 2 nozzles in the form of hooks.

About 20 seconds kneading at first speed. Not a single drop was sprayed. Further, he turned on the second mode, on which the mixer worked for about 20 seconds. After that, I turned the speed control to the number 3. After 180-200 seconds, the dough is ready. In my opinion, pretty fast and extremely convenient. I did not have to clean the table, wash the walls - only nozzles and a bowl.

After preparing the dough, rolled it to a thickness of 1-1.2 centimeters. Korzh anointed with tomato sauce, placed on top, pre-chopped sausage, pickled cucumbers, cheese. Then the pizza was in the oven until a golden crust appeared. Since I was preparing pizza for the first time, I was satisfied not only with testing the mixer, but also with the fact that I decided to make it from scratch for the first time.

Mashed potatoes

Mashed potatoes

I believe that in the review of the Kitfort KT-1338 mixer there is no need to talk about each stage of preparing mashed potatoes. After boiling the potatoes and placing the cut pieces in the bowl of the device, I decided to test the nozzle for mixing. I added some warm milk, turned on the first speed of work, and saw the real advantages of the planetary system over analogues. First of all, the speed of work. But not without flaws.

The axis of rotation of the nozzles 1-2 cm is not enough to the walls of the bowl. Therefore, small lumps remained in these places. When I used 2 hooks to mix the dough - it didn’t interfere. Accordingly, when mixing the liquid ingredients there will be no problems. But with the example of mashed potatoes I wanted to show that such a problem is present, although not critical for the main purpose of the planetary mixer.As a result, the test result is not bad, but not perfect: quickly, but few lumps remain.

Personal opinion on the planetary mixer

Personal opinion on the planetary mixer

Finally, I want to share my own opinion in the description of Kitfort KT-1338, I will try to make the most subjective review. I liked the build quality and all parts of the mixer except for the plastic controls. This causes some caution, although there is no reason to doubt the manufacturer. Legs that provide almost perfect fixation of the device deserve special attention. For ease of use, too, no complaints. Extremely easy to install nozzles, easy to clean. Similarly with a bowl. The cable is long, and it is convenient when there are several household appliances in the kitchen. Appearance, speaking objectively, aesthetically and goes well with different kitchen sets. Regarding the quality of work, I will say that I am pleasantly surprised by the ability to mix and whisk products so quickly and efficiently. And not only soft, but also hard ingredients, including potatoes.

Conclusion

This is a really useful tool for every family with a child. And not only. It also allows me to save time, and it is quite useful for confectioners, cooks, etc. In general, the scope of this device is definitely large. Of the minuses, I can only highlight the presence of a free distance from the nozzles to the walls of the bowl. For obvious reasons, when preparing mashed potatoes, there are lumps on the sides of the tank. But this did not particularly affect the overall impression of the device.

Thus, I believe that the Kitfort KT-1338 planetary mixer has a good price / quality ratio, and is a 100% cost-effective purchase. Good luck

    I got myself such a planetary mixer, and it completely suits me. Simple and easy to use, it whips really very well, both liquid and harder. When working, not very noisy.

    Undoubtedly an interesting device, but I would like to purchase a planetary mixer in a more convenient configuration. I saw such a Delphi brand. What is the essence - the drive of a planetary mixer is of a removable type and it can quite be used as a regular hand mixer. And so, in addition to the planetary one, one also has to acquire a hand mixer.
