Recommendation for new food mixer please

the same!

It depends what you need to use it for.

Would a hand held mixer work for you? You can get them with different attachments

You could use it with an existing bowl and it would take less room up in the cupboard.

I bought an old reconditioned Kenwood Chef on eBay a few years ago; from memory I think it was about £30. I had one many moons ago, and knew how reliable it was, but buying a new one would be several hundred pounds. I did a bit of research, and came to the conclusion that older models are far more reliable and stronger than the newer ones nowadays. It has been a total success!
