48 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other toaster ovens, convection and pizza ovens, toasters, stand and hand mixers, bread machines and baking appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Kenmore KKEOVSMG_AZ has a stainless steel body, 5-quart bowl, and 10-speed knob control. It runs on 120 volts and weighs a notable 30 lb, making it one of the heavier consumer mixers in this size class. Dimensions are 14.75 x 9.5 x 13 inches. The grey color gives it a neutral, appliance-like look.
At 500W, the motor is in line with competitors like Cuisinart's SM-50 series. Ten speeds cover the core range you need for most home baking tasks. The stainless steel build is a plus for durability and clean appearance compared to plastic-bodied alternatives.
The price of $379.99 puts this Kenmore in direct competition with Cuisinart and mid-range KitchenAid models, which have significantly larger review pools and proven track records. The 48-review count at a 4.1 average is workable but not enough to inspire strong confidence. Buyers who are attached to the Kenmore brand should find this a serviceable unit, but there are better-documented options at the same price.
Pros
- Stainless steel build is durable and easy to clean
- 500W motor handles standard home baking tasks well
- 10 speeds cover most mixing needs from folding to whipping

Cons
- 4.1 rating from only 48 reviews limits confidence compared to alternatives
- 30 lb weight makes it one of the heavier options in the 5-quart class
- At $379.99, it competes against more established brands with stronger review histories

Frequently asked questions
Is a 30 lb stand mixer difficult to move around?
A 30 lb mixer is on the heavier side for a 5-quart home unit and is best left in one place on the counter rather than moved frequently. The weight does help with stability during use, but lifting it in and out of a cabinet would be inconvenient. Plan for a permanent countertop spot.
How does this Kenmore compare to a Cuisinart at a similar price?
Cuisinart's SM-50 series at around $300 to $320 offers a similar 500W motor and comparable bowl sizes with over 800 reviews in some variants. The Kenmore KKEOVSMG_AZ has a higher price and far fewer reviews, so Cuisinart has a clearer value advantage at this tier unless you have a specific preference for Kenmore.
