Has anyone experience how bad the proriatary software is on such machines? For Kenwood there is an app (Kenwood World App) which apparently guides you through the cooking-process. Does anyone have a idea for how long this app or other apps from similar machines will be maintained? Does anyone have experience of using such a device without an internet connection?

I am sure that there wont ever be a simple foss app which can connect to such a device, but how bad is it? I am worried that the new Kenwoods wont be as durable as the old one I had (had it handed down, was around 30yo), because the software will be discontinued.

Looking for people with experiences with such machines and their software-side.

    The Kenwood stuff is good, even the most modern one i own a Titanium Chef Patissier XL, works great, the parts are quality. Only thing i had was a bracket From the plastic Multi mixer breaking (was kinda my fault) but it was replaced without problems.

    You don’t need the app and the software doesn’t really need updates from what i can tell. But i don’t know much about that, since i don’t really use the features regarding that.

    If you want to be shure buy one without apps and stuff, they are quality and will last long.

    Now that i think of it i don’t know if it is even connected to the internet, i don’t think so.
