Creative position statement: As a deep roaster, this time I brought you a few thousand dollars of chef machine evaluation. I hope it can be helpful to everyone's chef machine purchase. The so-called baking is as deep as the sea, there are a lot of things to buy, and some money must still be spent on the blade, rational buying and buying is the king!
Hello, I’m Bandit 95270.
The chef machine Hengping that promised everyone is finally here! The evaluation is not easy, I still hope to provide a useful reference for everyone's purchase of home cook machines!
This evaluation is the 5L capacity KitchenAid/Kaishanyi Classic 5QT chef machine and the Haishi M5 that I just shared the evaluation a while ago. Why choose these two? The main consideration is the use of home baking. The capacity of 5L is also sufficient for daily use at home. Two 450g toasts are good! These two brands also represent, to a certain extent, domestic and imported chef machines that have attracted more attention. The price gap is still a bit large, which can be used as a reference for everyone to purchase.
Remarks: For ease of presentation, the subsequent evaluation will abbreviate the two chef machines as Haishi M5 and KA5 QT respectively.
,Those who are concerned about the evaluation of the 7L consumer and commercial chef machine can follow the follow-up update of Bandit. Your support is my biggest source of motivation.
Evaluation instructions: This evaluation mainly compares the main parameters of interest and how to choose a few commonly used functions in the baking. machine. Among them, some evaluation dimensions are difficult to compare and draw conclusions in a short time. For example, the service life of the motor is basically a guess of the trust in the brand!
Evaluation location: Beautiful Suzhou Yinshan Lake
Evaluation purpose: Two domestic imported PK machines, which is better?
Evaluation dimension: Comparison of design, kneading efficiency and other user experience one by one
Not much nonsense, start sharing today's evaluation!
1. Price & parameter comparison
In order to make the comparison clearer, the thief has made the following table sorting.
Comparison of various parameters
1. Explanation of price comparison
is more than 1 thousand span, 2The starting price of KA's normal activities is more than 3,000, and the price difference between the two models is about 2,000 yuan. If M5's performance is indeed comparable to KA, it seems that we can also find options to save money.2. Description of power comparison
Different brands have different power settings. For example, some of them are marked with the power of DC motor , and some are 3 AC motor _span. Most people buy a cook machine to knead out the glove film quickly and effortlessly, so being able to knead out the glove film quickly was the most important criterion for me to buy a cook machine at that time. Normally, the greater the torque, the faster the film will come out. . Torque is inseparable from motor type and motor power.
Under normal circumstances, we can think that the DC motor has more torque, lower noise, higher efficiency, and easier film production. The 800w DC motor is equivalent to the 1500w AC motor. The power of the Haishi M5 is a 800 watt DC motor, while the KA 5QT is a 300 watt AC motor. I also specifically confirmed with the customer service of KA 5QT, because I always felt something was wrong. According to the conversion ratio we understood earlier, the 300 watt AC motor is really too small!
3. About the capacity comparison of mixing bowl (bowl)
This is actually a comparison of your own kneading needs. And use occasions to choose the size of the capacity. The picture below is a comparison of the mixing bowls of two chef machines.The kneading tank of the Haishi M5 is 5L and the KA is 4.8L. In addition, the design is slightly different. The thief will also explain the difference between the two models in detail.
Haishi’s M5 kneading cylinder adopts a double-handle + curling design. The overall shape is a "sham" round shape. In addition, the inner wall of the cylinder is scaled. It is helpful when you need to use a lot of liquid.
Let’s look at the KA 5QT chef machine, with a single handle + curling design and design. The entire tank body is relatively "slim". In terms of ease of use, the thief will find it more convenient to install and take with two handles.
Finally, take a look at the bottom design of the two chef noodle tanks, and it is not difficult to find the contrast between "round" and "long and thin". Of course, KA is more careful in the details, we will see that the bottom of its surface tank is printed with logos and other letters.
4. The comparison of the weight of the cook machine itself and the convenience of the chef 1 _strong p4sp _strong related.
Hai's M5 body shell is made of plastic material, compared to the KA5QT's all-cast aluminum body,It will be a lot lighter. Here to correct a misunderstanding, although we have indeed encountered a situation where the body is light and the machine shifts more severely, but it is not a light body that a similar situation will definitely occur. For example, the bottom of the Hay's M5 in this evaluation, its bottom uses a particularly strong silicone disk, even if it shakes harder, the machine does not deviate or shift.
Hi's M5 bottom silicone design
dynamic picture. The following picture is the kneading motion picture of Hi's M5 kneading position to the 6th gear, although the upper part has some Shaking, but the whole body is stable. However, the official recommendation is that daily kneading is recommended to knead at a low speed at 1~3 gears. Although high-grade kneading has a faster film, it will easily lead to a higher dough temperature. This need can be flexibly controlled as needed.
KA5QT The whole kneading process is indeed relatively stable.
5. Description of gear comparison
In terms of gear setting, the two M5s are not very different from the chefs. KA has 10 gears, depending on the performance during use. For example, the official recommendations for kneading: Haishi M5 is 2-4 gears, KA is 1-2 gears, and personal experience is that in order to improve the efficiency of kneading during actual use, you can increase the speed appropriately. This will be shared in detail in the use comparison section.
2. Appearance, workmanship and accessories comparison
1. Optional color contrast _p9sp
KA has always won with its beauty and color matching. Its colors are rich. The same model is available in 9 colors, and all of them are of that colorful color. The starting point is Emperor Red, which is bright but not gorgeous.
In contrast, the Hai's M5 has only three colors, but they are all small and fresh colors. I started with a light green version. This depends on personal preference.
2. Appearance and material comparison of the cook machine
The main body of the KA is made of bright metal, but it looks brighter in color. The bottom design has a certain arc design, including the detailed design of the fuselage logo and other details is still good.
Haishi uses a plastic body on the periphery. Even so, there is no need to save material for the key head-up slides and other places where the material is difficult. , So durability is also guaranteed. As mentioned earlier, there are 5 silicone pads on the bottom to increase stability! What kind of freshness does it look like as a whole?
We all know that noodles are the process of fighting between the machine and the noodles. It is inevitable that the body of the cook machine will shake a little, and the all-metal body is generally "stable" by its own weight Dough, but the biggest problem with the all-metal body is that it is usually heavier.Fortunately, the movement of 5QT is not troublesome.
ABS plastic body is lighter, the advantage is that the storage and movement of the ABS plastic body is relatively convenient, the bottom of the suction cup is relatively cheap, and the bottom of the body is relatively cheap. Taller. At present, the stability of M5 is really good.
3. Comparison of head-up method and control method
two styles of design, only use the head-up style of operation Different. Next, I will show you two sets of GIF pictures.
Haishi M5 can realize the head-up and close operation of the machine by moving the lever on the right side of the fuselage up and down. The locking lever of
KA is pushed in translation, and the electric head will be raised automatically by pushing the locking lever to the unlocked position.
Head up comparison description: _strong4 strong span2sp2span is better.Mainly depends on personal usage habits and preferences. In addition, the head-up angle of the KA is higher than that of the Hai's M5, and the difference is not big.
4. Comparison of speed control/gear position control mode
Hi's button with M5 (on the right side) touch screen or smart mode operation through the touch screen switch .
feel it!
KA mainly realizes the translation speed operation by lever.
Feel the same with animated pictures! The control is fairly convenient, that is, slippery situations may occur when dialing back.
Comparison of speed control/gear control methods:
is more convenient in terms of user-friendliness. Because there are preset menus, it is more friendly to the novice Xiaobai.
5. Comparison of anti-black powder design
The figure below shows the design of the joint of the metal fittings of the two cook machines.
The POM material sleeve added to the Haishi M5 is used to prevent the problem of black powder at the connection of the metal fittings after a long time. This is considered a bonus item, but as of the current use, KA has not lost any black powder.
6 , comparison of the use of the bottom deck
is the design of the slot of the KA chef machine on the bottom.
Use a set of animations to see if it is convenient to install the two surface cylinders? is not difficult to find, as long as the position is aligned, the installation is smooth. It's just that the thief-jun personally still finds two handles more convenient.
7. Comparison of standard accessories p
p2span p is two standard dough mixers. Stirring paddle) and one whisk.
In addition,M5 comes standard with a transparent splash-proof cover to prevent splashing, and secondly, ingredients can be added directly during the operation of the machine. It depends on whether you like to use it or not. I don't use it too many times. KA5QT does not have this standard configuration, it will be available on some other models.
Regarding the comparison of the accessories of the two cook machines, there are a few points for the thief to chat about here:
strong1 strong1, with different materials . Hi's M5 accessories are made of stainless steel , KA's accessories are made of cast aluminum. In terms of texture, stainless steel will be better, and there is no need to worry about the surface coating falling off.
Second, the weight is different. stainless steel is also heavier than cast aluminum.
KA is 124.5g, M5 is 173.4g
KA is 228g, M5 is 173.4g
strong1 egg beater design is different. As can be seen from the figure below, M5 uses a 16-wire whisk, while KA is a 6-claw whisk. We would think that the more threads there are, the faster and more uniform the beating speed will be. As for whether this is the case, the answer will be revealed in the actual test link!
On the left is Haishi,On the right is KA
8. Expansion accessories comparison
If other uses can be derived from the useful cook machine, it can be regarded as the use of the machine to a certain extent. These two chef machines can also realize multi-function operations such as noodles and minced meat through extended interfaces, but these accessories need to be purchased separately.
Hi's M5's front cover and the rear cover of the back of the fuselage are both expansion accessories. The interface is the interface of the mixing cup. The expansion interface of
KA 5QT is at the front of the machine, just by unscrew the knob.
Regarding the use of extended accessories, since we have started with the noodle function and ground meat accessories of the Hai's M5, the practical part will be briefly shared.
Here, Bandit basically explained the basic configuration and usage differences of the two chef machines in detail. If there are any omissions or unexplained, or if you have other questions, please leave a message in the comment area! Next, we will focus on the comparison of the use of the two chef machines.
3. Use comparison
(1) Beat the whole egg comparison
Beat 2 eggs, take them out directly from the refrigerator, do not need to reheat, turn on the maximum gear to beat. In order to ensure the operation under the same conditions as much as possible, the simultaneous power-on and simultaneous power-off are specially carried out to compare the dismissal state.
Here is a detail that you can look at,That is, when the KA chef machine is provoked to the off state, it will still rotate a few more times before stopping. In contrast, Haishi M5 will stop faster.
Next is the comparison of the state of the egg liquid during the same time period.
3-minute status comparison:
At this time, we raised the whisk to see how the egg is being beaten. The KA 5QT cook machine is still relatively thin to lift, with strong fluidity, and the batter that flows down. Quickly blended into the egg liquid. In contrast, after the Hy's M5 egg liquid is lifted up, it can be seen that it is relatively formed, and the pattern will not disappear immediately.
Hi's M5
KA 5QT
to compare the state of the for 6 minutes with the same mixer: After lifting. The two cook machines are better to beat the egg liquid, and the egg liquid of the Hai's M5 is still more stable than the KA.
Hi's M5
KA 5QT
_strong
_span4However, in the process of whisking, the whisking efficiency of Hai's M5 egg liquid is slightly higher than that of KA5QT in the same period of time.
(2) Evaluation of the effect of whipping butter
whipping butter has different brand names and different shapes, but the main purpose is to whip and mix. The left side of the picture below is the He's M5 stirring paddle, and the white on the right side is the KA5QT stirring paddle.
When whipping the butter, it is recommended to soften the butter sufficiently. The evaluation method is also in the same open state, compared with the sent state in the same time period.
Take the same amount of softened butter on both sides to test. It can be seen that the butter of Hai's M5 is very evenly dispensed. It is inevitable that a part of the butter is on this silica gel.
KA's butter is basically just being sent at the bottom of the tank.
butter blow comparison summary:
1. In the same period of time, Hai’s M5 also outperformed the KA's bottom 5QT. .
2. When the butter is blown, the butter will more or less stick to the mixing paddle. This is a normal phenomenon, so you need to use a spatula to clean it up in time.
By the way, I will share a recipe for coconut butter cookies that I like.You can try it too! It is comparable to Denmark crown cookies.
100g fermented butter, 45g powdered sugar, 16g egg yolk, 135g low powder, 30g coconut milk powder 30g, milk powder 20g, appropriate amount of coarse sugar (surface decoration)
(3) Evaluation of kneading efficiency
Here is a toast recipe that I prefer, because the butter content is less than 7% of the total flour, so I go straight to the first step Just added butter.
Toast recipe: 270g high flour, 11g milk, 40g whipped cream, 25g whole egg liquid, 45g sugar, 2g salt, 4g yeast, 18g butter
Surface decoration: whole egg liquid, almond slices (optional)
1. Instructions on the use of kneading stalls
The guide kneading stalls of the two machines are different, Haishi M5 In the smart mode, the recommended gear is 2-4, and the kneading gear of KA5QT is suggested to be 1-2. In the actual operation, first stir according to Hai's 2nd and KA1 until there is no dry powder, and then according to Hai's 4th. Mix it with KA2 to form a dough and produce tendons. In the actual operation, after the dough has formed a thick film, it will be turned on and kneaded quickly.For example, Haishi will increase to gear 5-6, and KA will increase to gear 4 to beat the dough.
Here to talk about my personal understanding of kneading. Many people say that we should knead the noodles at a low speed. On the one hand, the cook machine can be used longer, and the second is to prevent the dough from overheating, but this is just for advice. If a chef's machine cannot knead at a high-end, or the body heats up badly, it means that the motor performance is not good! I personally speed up the dough appropriately during the kneading process to speed up the filming speed of the dough, so the subsequent kneading process adopts the step-up kneading operation of Haishi 5 and KA4.
2. Notes on the evaluation of two chefs' kneading machines
In this part of the test, the ingredients are mixed into a dough, and then the dough is kneaded at a higher speed until the film is formed. Simultaneously start timing. When you stop to see the state of the dough in the middle, it will stop timing. It just so happens that the touch interface of the Hi's M5 will automatically time, which feels quite convenient.
3. Kneading face ratio details
(1) Stir until there is no dry powder to compare
9p
.
After 2 minutes, you can see that the dough has been stirred into a dough, and the dry powder is not visible. At this time, you can speed up the whipping!
(2) Comparison of kneading state and film output
The following figure shows the dough of several time periods of film comparison.
6-minute dough state comparison. We pull a small piece of dough to gently pull to judge. It can be seen that the dough kneaded by Hai's M5 is gently pulled, and it can already be felt that the dough has resistance and is not easy to break. In contrast, KA 5QT kneaded dough is easy to break, indicating that the tendons are not well developed.
KA 5QT
Then speed up and knead the dough. Look at the state comparison after 13 minutes.
It can be seen that Hai's M5 has been kneaded into a beautiful thick film state, and the surface of the dough is relatively smooth, while KA 5QT can also knead a thick film, but the surface is rough and the dough is not strong enough.
Hay M5
KA 5QT
(3) the state of the film and the film temporal contrast
NOTE: this The kneading time at the office is combined with the time reference for the middle raising.
almost 14 minutes,Haishi M5 kneaded a relatively strong film, and it is OK to use this kind of dough to make toast.
Hai's M5
KA 5QT took about 18 minutes, and it also produced a satisfactory film. As shown below.
(4) Vibration amplitude comparison
It is not difficult to find that after the speed is increased, the bottom of the Hyde’s M5 body shakes. With suction cup design, the machine itself does not have any displacement. In contrast, KA is relatively stable because of its metal body.
(5) Comparison of the degree of dough climbing
The two chef machines have also shared different degrees of dough climbing before. , This is the performance of the dough gluten. Different brands of chef machines have different degrees of climbing. When in actual use, it is only necessary to pull it off in time.
(6) Comparison of the degree of heat generation
To the final stage of film production, the chef touched the temperature near the two motors. Warmth is acceptable.Then use a mechanical thermometer to measure the following figure, the temperature of the Hai's M5 chef machine is 33.8 degrees, and the temperature of the KA chef machine is 36.6 degrees. Although the KA is a little higher, the difference is not too big.
I don't know if this is related to the heat dissipation design of the two cook machines. M5 uses a two-way heat dissipation design, one is behind the top and the other is the bottom of the cook machine. This design can help the motor better heat dissipation.
(7) Comparison of the temperature of the dough out
during the actual operation. We recommend that the temperature of the dough does not exceed 28 degrees during the actual operation. Don’t be too obsessed with this value. You have made bread toast many times. Even if the temperature is around 30 degrees, it will not have much impact. You can take out the dough in time and put it in the refrigerator for cooling and basic fermentation. .
This time the kneading ratio is due to repeated tests during the kneading process, which increased the temperature of the noodles to a certain extent. Fortunately, these are within the acceptable range. The left side of the picture below is the Hai's M5, the surface temperature of the cylinder is 29.4 degrees, and the surface temperature of the KA5QT is 30.3 degrees.
The same bread finally produced by two chef machines!
It takes about 14 minutes for the chef to knead the surface:It takes about 18 minutes for KA to fully release the film. In terms of kneading efficiency, the Hai's M5 is still the winner. Many people worry that the kneading speed is too fast, the machine will move, and the experience is really not to worry at all.
(4) Noise comparison
Evaluation method: idling to compare, test the minimum and maximum files to record the decibels.
Hi's M5 idling maximum decibel is 71.1, minimum decibel is 59.6.
KA5QT has an idling maximum decibel of 77.9 and a minimum decibel of 60.4.
Noise comparison summary:
According to the data, it is not difficult to find that the working noise of the KA 5QT cook machine is still higher than that of the He's M5.
Fourth, comprehensive user experience comparison
This part is based on the sharing after the previous use, mainly for the comparison of whether it is convenient to use and whether it is humanized design. As for why I put it at the end, it is because after all the comparisons are used, the detailed design will have a better experience.
1. Multi-speed adjustment and easy comparison of operation methods
KA has 10 speeds that can be adjusted,Matching according to demand, because it is the lever to adjust the speed, sometimes there will be a slip when dialing back, and sometimes it is not clear which gear is in.
Haishi M5's smart display is easier to operate in comparison, and it is clear at a glance, and it can even record how much time it takes. In this regard, Hai's operation is more friendly, but sometimes when you raise your head, you will accidentally touch the touch screen. I hope it can be improved in the future.
2. Is there any shift during use
? Regarding whether there is a shift, neither of the two machines has a larger shift. Shift, performance is good!
3. Is it easy to move?
Although the body of the KA is relatively heavy, the cook machine with this capacity can still be moved easily. The suction power at the bottom of the Haishi M5 is relatively large. It is recommended to lift a part by hand first, and then it will be a lot easier to move it. From the perspective of ease of movement, KA will be more convenient to move.
4. Multi-function comparison
Both cook machines have extended interfaces, which can be freely matched with accessories of the same brand to achieve multiple functions in one machine. Actual use can be purchased according to needs. There are two independent dual-out ports on the front and top of the Haishi M5 fuselage, and the KA is mainly located at the front of the machine. After purchasing accessories, it can realize the rich expansion functions such as crushing, juicing, stirring, chopping, noodle pressing, enema and so on.
5. The least amount of comparison
Haishi M5 cook machine supports 200-800 grams of dry powder, which is almost 450-1200 grams of dough, 250-800 ml of light cream, about 2-10 egg whites . In contrast, KA5QT supports at least one egg and 100 grams of flour.
6. Application of extended accessories
This part mainly shares two accessories of Haishi M5. Because my family loves pasta, I started noodle accessories and ground meat enema accessories. Both functions can be operated with one-key operation through built-in functions.
The noodle accessory function can have 8 positions to adjust the thickness of the noodles.
Span 2span You can consider starting with this accessory simultaneously.
As for the accessories for minced meat enema, at present, it is more used to ground meat, wrap wontons, dumplings or make meatballs, which is really convenient. Later, I plan to use it to try enema during Chinese New Year.
V. The evaluation results are revealed
After reading the above evaluation,You can find that the performance of Haishi M5 is slightly better than that of KA chef machine 5QT. The efficiency of kneading, stirring and mixing is good. In addition, it is more convenient to operate with the touch LED display. The gear and time can be customized, or you can choose the machine. Built-in program ~ can realize timing or timing function.
In the thousand yuan price range, the price-performance ratio of the Hai's m5 light-tone chef is really top. In addition, if there are shortcomings, I don’t know if the Haishi M5's ABS plastic body counts, and its durability is slightly lower than that of the all-metal body, but the advantage is that it is cheap and cost-effective. I think as the first chef machine in the family, the Haishi M5 is a very good choice. After all, the difference between the two models is also 2000 yuan!
But if you only consider the appearance, KA will win out. The so-called radish greens, each has their own love, I hope everyone can buy things that they find easy to use!
Well, that's it for the evaluation of the 5L household cook machine. Regarding the comprehensive considerations for the purchase of household cook machines, I suggest you consider the following points: _span4strong
First, whether there are requirements for the shape of the cook machine, such as color, shape design, etc.
Second, how much capacity is required, this mainly depends on your use scene.
Thirdly, the size of the motor and power, it is clear whether it is an AC or DC motor, this can be used as a certain degree of effective reference.
fourth,Do you need other additional extended functions.
Do you understand? If you have any other questions, see you in the comment section! The thief must know everything and endlessly.
bye~ I’m Bandit 95270, and I share with you delicious, fun, and easy-to-use things~ I’m free to follow Yibo+Sanlian, why
