Camel CMX-301S review: 1000W, 12 speeds, and an auto shut-off

The Camel CMX-301S pairs a 1000W motor with a 12-speed dial and an automatic shut-off, in a compact 5L machine backed by a 1-year Philippine parts-and-labor warranty.

What can it actually handle?

1000W with a dough hook puts it in genuine dough territory: pandesal, ensaymada, and pizza dough in home batches, not just cake mixtures. The 12-speed dial is the widest range in the mid-price group, and the useful end is the bottom one, where a properly slow first speed keeps flour in the bowl instead of on your counter.

The 5L bowl is the home standard, right for one to two cakes or a normal tray of ensaymada. It’s smaller than the 5.5L PerySmith and much smaller than the 7L Kyowa, so if you double every recipe, this isn’t the one.

Four attachments come in the box rather than the usual three: spatula, wire whisk, dough hook, and flat beater.

How is the build?

The automatic shut-off is the standout. Most mixers in this band simply strain until something gives when a batch turns out heavier than planned; this one cuts the motor first. Paired with the 1-year parts-and-labor warranty, it says something about how the machine is meant to be treated: as a repairable appliance, not a disposable one.

At 6.6kg it’s noticeably lighter and more compact than the full-size machines here, at 382 x 353 x 230 mm. That’s easier to find a home for in a tight kitchen, though it also means less mass holding it down under a stiff dough.

What it lacks is a display. Despite a 12-position dial there’s no digital panel and no timer, so a ten-minute knead means watching the clock.

Is the Camel CMX-301S sulit?

Around ₱5,700 as of August 26, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Across the 1-year parts-and-labor warranty period that’s about ₱16 a day, and over a more realistic three-year life it drops to roughly ₱5 a day.

Being straight about the evidence: the perfect 5.0 rating rests on just 9 raters, the smallest sample in our stand mixer roundup. That isn’t a mark against the machine, but it does mean you should buy on the specs and the warranty rather than on the score. The specs hold up well: 1000W, 12 speeds, auto shut-off, four attachments, and local support.

Who the Camel CMX-301S suits

Buy this if you want a 1000W mixer with fine speed control and a PH warranty, in a body that doesn’t dominate the counter. It’s the right choice for a regular home baker with limited space who wants protection built in. If you want a track record you can read in thousands of ratings, look at the more established sellers instead.

If the Camel CMX-301S is not right

The Hanabishi HPSTMIX50 is the closest match and our Best for frequent baking pick: the same 1000W and 12 speeds, plus overheat and overcurrent protection and an SUS304 bowl with a handle, from a brand with a bigger service network. If price is the deciding factor, the PerySmith PS5500 II is our Best Overall pick at 1200W and 5.5L for well under this as of August 26, 2026.
