A stand mixer plus food processor - can anyone recommend one?

I have spent the weekend drooling over my friend's KitchenAid. But I can't afford one, and realistically need a machine that is a stand mixer but also has a food processor/blender attachment. I have had a look at the Kenwood Prospero but am not sure.
I imagine you get what you pay for but I can't afford more than about £150.
Thank you.

I've been looking at the kenwood chef classic Km 336 which is currently £158 - normally £249! on amazon. Never bought one myself but have decided to invest so I would also be interested in what people are recommending!

I don't know what they cost now [probably a lot] but we got a Magimix 30 years ago!! It is still perfect and does amazingly well, maybe get one 2nd hand or on ebay?

Does the magimix have an artisan mixer (like the KitchenAid?)

Only the Kenwood Chef Tiatanium has the food processotr I am after and it is £280 on Amazon so out of my league.#

Does anyone have the Prospero?

Hmm. looks pretty fab and Kenwood certainly know how to make a good mixer so I reckon that would be a very good option. See if you can find some online reviews of it.

Sorry clematt do you mean a dough hook? If so yes it does, it has all the attachments.

No, I mean does it have a bowl on a stand like the KitchenAid? I am looking for one that combines an artisan stand and processor.
