A distributor specializing in kitchen equipment, Mathon has recently offered small household appliances under its own brand. It was with a multifunctional food processor and a blender that he decided to try his hand in 2022, and he is now ready to expand his offering. The brand has launched its first pastry robot, a big baby weighing 9.5 kg which seems almost familiar to us. Indeed, it is reminiscent of the KitchenAid Artisan, a reference and pioneer on the market.
Cast aluminum and integrated scale
The Mathon pastry robot owes this significant weight to its cast aluminum body, a guarantee of longevity. It should also allow it to stay in place when working with heavy doughs. To work, moreover, this model is supplied with the usual trio of accessories including a whisk, a flat beater and a hook – also in cast aluminum, or stainless steel -, which it drives using a 1600 W motor. Given the announced power, it is most likely a belt motor, as opposed to the direct transmission motor for which KitchenAid is famous. However, there are very good robots equipped with such motors, such as the Titanium Chef Baker from Kenwood or the Miogo MRPM1 from Boulanger.
This motor also serves an outlet which allows you to add accessories – chopper or grater for the moment – on the front of the robot, while a lever on the side gives access to 6 speeds. Mathon has also equipped its robot with a function that its illustrious and very conservative competitor does not offer: a scale. This allows you to weigh, to the nearest gram, the ingredients directly in the bowl. Bowl which, incidentally, is also made of cast aluminum and can hold up to 5 liters. This robot finally comes with an anti-projection cover.
The Mathon robot was launched at the recommended retail price of €299, which is rather affordable for a cast iron robot equipped with a scale, an accessory not available for example on the Miogo MRPM1, launched at a similar price.
