The MAJOR KM040 is a powerful kitchen machine that features a robust 1500-watt motor, allowing for efficient mixing, kneading, and blending of even the toughest ingredients. Its 6.7-liter stainless steel bowl offers ample capacity for large batches, making it perfect for families or event catering. The KM040 is equipped with a variety of attachments, including a dough hook, K-beater, and whisk, allowing users to tackle a wide range of culinary tasks, from bread and pastry making to whipping cream or egg whites.

Another highlight is the compatibility with various optional attachments, including food processors, pasta makers, and blenders, enabling the user to expand the machine's capabilities significantly.

Durability is a key characteristic of both the MAJOR and CHEF models, thanks to their high-quality construction and materials. The design is not only functional but also attractive, with a sleek aesthetic that fits well in any modern kitchen.
