Morphy Richards Exquisite 4L Mix-Star 650w Stand Mixer

The Morphy Richards MixStar’s unusual design means it can be a bit confusing to assemble at first. But once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy.

The mixing bowl just sits on top of the machine and there’s no need to lock into place – although you do need to jiggle it a bit to make sure it’s docked properly.

On the front of the base, there’s a dial to toggle speeds of up to six while a timer shows you how long the machine has been running.

The dough hook is all in one piece and just slots into place on the drive shaft in the bowl with a clockwise twist.

The whisks and beaters have to be attached to a spindle – you just push these in with a click – which then goes onto the drive shaft in the same way as the dough hook.

There’s also a removable bowl scraper, which scrapes down the drive shaft and the edge of the bowl for you when in use, that you can attach to the spindle when using the whisks or beaters.

Once you’re done, everything fits neatly back into the storage caddy that’s designed to sit in the mixing bowl, making storage a breeze.

The one thing we found was that it was super easy to add ingredients as there was no attachment arm getting in the way.

However, because of the drive shaft in the bowl, getting the ingredients out can be a bit messy, especially for anything wet and sticky like batters or egg whites.
