Bosch Universal Plus Stand Mixer - Black - Baker's Package with Additional Baking Attachments and Stainless Steel Bowl

I'm so glad I bought this Bosch mixer! It mixes dough and cake mixes so perfectly! It's pricey but so worth it! And I am glad I am able to pay for it in installments. Run and don't walk to buy this mixer. I bought several of the attachments and each one work so excellently! I will have this for many many years to come, and I'm so glad I bought it. I would give it 100 stars if I could! I highly highly recommend this Bosch mixer!!!!!!!!

This is an awesome deal with the separate cake and cookie paddles, bowl scrapers, and cookie mats. These Bosch mixers can do it all in a very tidy way: whip cream; beat egg whites for meringue; mix cookies, cake, bread dough, smoothie’s in the blender…and now make ice cream in the available ice cream attachment (which I have not used yet, but excited to do soon). Been using Bosch my whole life…just keeps getting better!

I have had a KitchenAid for many years and I loved it. Recently a bagel recipe proved to be too much for her. There was smoke and the smell of burning oil. I felt it was time to change. Bosch day one, I made a double bread recipe. No problem and no hand kneading required. Window pane level kneading from the machine. No mess. Loads into the top. So far I have been able to load liquids, and quick mix, then half flour and mix about a minute. Wait 30 mins then add remaining flour while it runs on level one. Once it pulls away and collects, stop adding flour let knead maybe 10 minutes. All my old recipes are coming out better. Double and triple batches are no problem. Thrilled with the results.

The motor on this mixer is amazing. It is so powerful and mixes thoroughly in seconds. So far I have been impressed.My only problem is the parts that are made of plastic. I used the plastic whisk holder with the cookie paddles to make sugar cookie dough, and just before it was finished, the entire housing piece shattered in the mixer. I have another metal one that should work fine, however this was the first time I had used the plastic piece, so the violence with which it came apart was concerning.I will keep using it with the metal whisk holder instead, but I have to say that I do not recommend the plastic parts.

My wife was so excited about this mixer. We've had. Kitchen Aid for 10 years and she wanted something that can hold more. We thought this would be the solution. Unfortunately, the second time she used it, the cookie paddles broke. She was using it on mashed potatoes with melted butter. So we ordered more paddles thinking it was a one time thing. The very next time she used it to make gingerbread cookies, both paddles broke.Why aren't these made with metal? The dough hook is metal and it works great. We would be willing to pay more for the option of metal cookie dough paddles.

I hated my Kitchen aid, I found the Bosch on TiKTok and searched all the videos. This is a very powerful motor. The downfall is so far, the whipping paddles squeak. It does not handle small loads well. I love the bowl scrapping feature since this is what I hated about the Kitchen Aid. After another couple of months I will come back with more Pro's and Con's.

I purchased the 800 watt Bosch Universal mixer with the Metal bowl. When it first arrived it was labeled 500 watt. I thought I had received the wrong one but the seller assured me that the German watt rating system had changed and it is essentially the 800 watt mixer. I unboxed it and used it to make sourdough. It works great. I tried making dough for bread in a 450 watt Kitchen Aid and the motor over heated. The Bosch mixer handled the bread dough with no problem. I am very happy with my purchase.

1st I have to say I did a lot of research between this mixer and a few others ultimately bought this one based on reviews but I'm so disappointed in it. The base and bowl look sturdy and great but looks are not everything. all the attachments are plastic which is ridiculous for one, two if you bake 1 to 2 loaves of bread just about everyday forget getting this mixer the small batch of dough attaches itself to the center and goes in circles top it off I liked the idea of the bowl scraper attachment but guess what you can't use it with the dough hook I was so disappointed in that because that was one of the main reasons i chose this machine. I have to stop the machine scrape the bowl every so often and that's disappointing. The size of the bowl is great the cleaning is easy but being as straight forward and to the point as I can be I'm really not happy with this expensive purchase wish i had bought the kitchenaid mixer instead.And for those who stated the machine is sturdy well I can tell you from experience if you use speed 2 or 3 the entire machine wobbles suction cups or not don't matter what you do it wobbles as it mixes. Of course this is only my 1 opinion but i felt i needed to put my personal experience out there. over $600 purchase is not a joke
