This looks like an independent trader in North London with a web site. Chances are it's fine, but it's not somewhere well known. If you type the address on their web site into google maps UK and switch to street view, it's a private house.

If you're after that nice Kenwood chef on their web site, amazon.co.uk (for example) do it for only £10 more. I would do that (or similar).

P.S. Kenwood Chefs are great, particularly if you like cakes. Well built and last for years (decades actually).

I personally would buy a Kitchenaid mixer, especially if you're ever going to want to use it to knead bread or do any heavy duty mixing.
The K25GOXWH is a really good model as the bowl lifts up and down and it has a professional grade motor.

I have a Kenwood Chef, and it's absolutely bomb-proof. I have thrown some heavy stuff in there, and it just ploughs through it, no problem.

You have to be very careful here. The Kenwood KM040 and KM023 are the strongest non-commercial mixers available. They cost around €550 on the continent and are, unfortunately, considerably better suited to dough making than even the professional KitchenAid. The smaller Kenwood machines have nylon gears and are not in the same class.

I always wanted a KitchenAid, but the newer ones are not adequate for making heavy sourdough as the motors overheat and the gears wear out.

Sadly, the Kenwoods are much louder than the KitchenAid and the styling is certainly not to my liking, so I won't be buying either one.
