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

Absolutely awesome. Easy to add ingredients without making a mess. Lighter and lower and just as strong mixing vs Kitchen-aid stand mixer

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!!!!!!!!

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.

Large bowl is wonderful. 3 batches of cookies at once, not a problem! Loud machine, can’t use cold butter, plastic paddles break, Terrible squeaking sound when making royal frosting with whips. You have to be careful when washing the bowl not to get water in the center hole if you want to use it right after you made a batch of food.

So, I tried to get support for the bowl, which separated into multiple pieces. Then I tried to find a replacement bowl assembly. You can buy it directly from Bosch, but Amazon doesn't sell it (or at least, the algorithm hides it from being able to found). They just want you to drop $600 and buy it again after 6 years. I liked it for the time, but frankly, KitchenAid will last for decades for probably less initial outlay. And you can always find replacement items for it. Don't spend your money on this pieces of junk. The bad thing is, the actual motor is still working, but there is nothing I can use with it.

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 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.
