As Sheldon once pointed out, these power ratings (1000W) are misleading.
Your mixer looks suspiciously like a newer version Kenwood. These mixers
have 2 sets of right angle gears as opposed to only one set in the KA.
Right angle gears are horribly inefficient and waste lots of power. I'm not
saying your mixer is bad, just the power rating being not that big a deal.

I have a Kenwood with the 3 speed take-offs and I love it. Great machines.
I just wish I could find more attachments. I know that Kenwood had, at one
time, as many as 21 attachments, but where to find them.

I wonder if the Cuisinart attachments would fit my Kenwood:
