The bosch universal is hands down the best mixer for making bread.

Bosch universal plus stand mixer review.

Reviewed in the united states on august 22 2018 i purchased this mixer because i had one prior and liked the power and capacity i could mix 8 cups of flour. The suction cups on the bosch universal mixer are heavy duty thick and work flawlessly. The bosch universal plus mixer in particular can handle up to fourteen pounds of dough with a huge 6 5 quart bowl. Yet that makes it more compact and uses less space.

For large batches where i want to make enough pizza dough for 8 or 10 pizzas it has no problem mixing. The bosch universal plus is a superior stand mixer. The three year warranty for the motor and the one year warranty for the attachments and other parts provides a peace of mind. While the bosch universal plus unusual design puts it on the periphery of the stand mixer market it will nonetheless out perform most of the models in the class.

The 800 watt motor is far more powerful than your average stand mixer as you may recall from foodal s best stand mixers guide watts aren t a very accurate measurement of power and are often gamed by various manufacturers. This quality product will last for years to come. In my earlier review of the bosch universal plus mixer i was very enthusiastic with the basic accessories that come included with this brand of high powered mixer like the wire whips dough hook and dough hook extender. The new machine has had constant problems with multiple paddles breaking not spinning properly and literally metal parts bending.

This is in large part due to its beefy 800 watt motor but also the triple whipping action that will mix most ingredients with the best of the class. It s about as loud as any other mixer on the market. They effortlessly attach to the work surface securely anchor the mixer while it s mixing whipping and kneading then release easily when it s time to move or put away the mixer. Its whole body is a mixing bowl and you can t see beaters at first.

Four speeds to choose from. Because of the bowl design the mixing shaft comes up from the bottom rather than the top like the kitchenaid and because of the higher power the bosch can easily hold upwards of 22 cups of ingredients in the bowl and will mix bread like a boss. For large batches of bread where i m making 4 large loaves no problem. These are no suction cups to scoff at.
