When comparing the most important technical indicators and functions, it becomes obvious that the Redmond 4035 has the most in common with its closest neighbor - the Bomann kitchen machine. Both models have the greatest power, which allows them to do their work many times faster and more efficiently than other analogues. They are also related to the number of nozzles and speeds, the presence of a pulse mode, which is used at the end of preparation for short-term acceleration of the standard mode, and overload protection. But at the same time the Redmond 4035 is much more compact and much cheaper. In addition, this model is equipped with a smooth speed control and is perfectly combined with a full-fledged vegetable cutter, blender and even a meat grinder, which distinguishes it from both Bomann and Bosch and Moulinex, which have no such variety of additions. At the same time, the bowl of this kitchen machine is not made of plastic, as in the last two analogues, but of high-quality stainless steel, which makes it very reliable and durable.

However, in some aspects Redmond RKM-4035 is still inferior to competitors. First of all, it is the heaviest of the kitchen appliances presented in our review, the weight of which even exceeds the weight of the larger model Bomann. The development of Bosch powerful kitchen machine, like others, loses in the number of nozzles, and at the same time it is a bit more expensive.

Thus, in most cases, the Redmond kitchen machine will be the optimal and fairly universal solution. In terms of power, price and features, this is definitely one of the leaders.Nevertheless, competitors are also quite good and can be an ideal device for preparing a festive dinner for a large family or, conversely, an excellent mobile option for one or two people.

Appearance

Although the interior decoration is not among the primary tasks of the kitchen machine, this factor is often one of the decisive for many housewives. Suitable dimensions and organic design make cooking very convenient and allow you not to hide the device in a distant corner, barely finished with it. At the same time, the appliance should fit the kitchen in style, but not catch the eye, but fit into the decor.

Redmond 4035 meets all these requirements. The classic not too catchy design is aesthetic and at the same time perfectly harmonizes with any environment. In this case, the device occupies a relatively small place on the working surface, and the build quality and the absence of gaps and irregularities, which are periodically found in state employees, are confirmed by customer reviews.

  

Equipment

The Redmond RKM-4035 kitchen machine is sold in a cardboard box in a standard parallelepiped shape with colorful images of the appliance itself, its nozzles and dishes that can be prepared with their help. Also on the package is easy to find basic information about the technical capabilities and additional properties of the model.

Inside, the buyer will find a securely packaged device with nozzles and the accompanying documentation. However, it is important to note that although the kitchen machine of this popular brand is positioned by the manufacturer as a "4 in 1" device, in fact, three out of four items are perfectly matching accessories that can be purchased separately. So what does the buyer actually get?

Each Redmond Rkm-4035 box contains:

• proper kitchen car;
• stainless steel bowl with a convenient transparent lid;
• three most useful and demanded nozzles for the mixer;
• service book;
• collection of recipes;
• instructions.

Thus, in general, such a complete set can be called quite good for a state employee. However, other components, if necessary, will have to buy more.

Set of nozzles for a planetary mixer

The planetary mixer is the heart of the Redmond 4035 kitchen machine, the main component that allows you to bring to the desired condition any liquid, soft and crushed products. It owes its efficiency not only to a successful design, moving both around its axis, and around the circumference of the entire bowl, but also to a set of the most running replaceable nozzles, which delight in a high level of performance.

Nozzle-whisk is known, perhaps, to all skillful hostesses. Indeed, without it, it is impossible to even beat eggs or cream. Also, the nozzle is vital for making desserts with a light air mousse and a delicate cream, as well as various sauces. The edges of the corolla are made of stainless steel, which makes the nozzle quite durable and resistant to moisture and other factors. Plastic sleeve to which they are attached, equipped with a special shield that prevents the ingress of liquid, crumbs and flour into the retainer.

A flat nozzle for whipping products with a slightly thicker consistency is intended for making thick cream, chocolate icing and even a light text for a biscuit. It is made from a single piece of metal, like the third interchangeable component, and is highly durable.

The hook for thick yeast dough, or rather its shape, makes Redmond Rkm-4035 stand out against many others. Its design allows you to effectively capture the lumps of dough for more efficient mixing.

Start of operation

Do not use chemicals. After all the details have dried naturally at room temperature, Redmond 4035 can be assembled by following the attached instructions and turning them on.

In addition, the development is equipped with effective protection of the motor of the combine from overload and overheating. It stops the operation of the device if it warms up above the set temperature, as well as in other cases that can lead to breakage. This is one of the safest kitchen machines.

Nevertheless, it will not be superfluous to remember about basic precautions. In particular, it is necessary to limit the time of continuous use to 15 minutes. Between inclusions, it is desirable to take breaks for about half an hour. However, this will not cause any inconvenience. The most powerful kitchen machine in the budget category works at an incredible speed, so in 15 minutes you can do a lot. It is also important to remember that you can only wash the bowl in the dishwasher. The remaining parts of the device, including the case itself, can only be washed by hand and only with water.

Control

Working with the Redmond 4035 is just as easy as preparing for it.

All this can be adjusted by turning the mechanical regulator slightly, thanks to which any user can manage this kitchen machine, regardless of the experience of using small household appliances and various electronics.

As seen in the photo, each speed is assigned a sequence number. They are arranged clockwise in ascending order. The move is step by step. To get started, you just need to move the regulator from the rest mode "Off" to the selected speed. The speed of the Redmond RKM-4035 can also be changed in the same way in the process. The model has a very smooth switching between modes, so you can not be afraid of jerks and jumps even with a drastic change in speed, for example, from first to sixth. Also on the rotating regulator there is a “P” icon, denoting “pulse mode”. For a short-term acceleration to the maximum, it is enough to turn the regulator into this mode for a few seconds, and then return to the previous position.

This kitchen machine has another intuitive control. A button located just above and to the left of the speed controller raises the mixer head up if pressed. You can return it to the original application and fix it only when you press and hold this button.
