Quality is obvious! Mostly a great review.

Well put together mixer and accessories. First, very pleased with delivery and packaging. (no foam-excellently designed recyclable cardboard and double boxed).
My biggest complaint is that the motors seem to be “brushed” rather than brushless (digital). At this price point motors s/b current tech for their durability and longevity.
Have yet to make a batch of bread dough (of any size/weight) where the dough ‘didn’t’ climb up the hook. There are very few examples of bread dough making (Ooni’s emphasis on pizza stuff get annoying after a while). I hate to have to rely on experimenting with the few YouTube recipe examples, none have born out.
As primarily a bread and desert maker, I was disappointed that Ooni failed to include non-pizza recipes.
The calculator takes a bit of trial-on-error for use with doughs other-than pizza. pizza pizza pizza…. Since I have to convert a number of my artisanal recipes, it would have been helpful. Generally equipment companies don’t make great Apps. Ooni fits that mold !! A nice try though. (trying to use the App to register the unit was a complete failure… scan codes without comparable URL’s shouldn’t be allowed - There’s no way to scan on my desktop!)
I look forward to some supported recipes for the “Core” model.
A quality machine that’s only missing some support materials.

Great bang for the buck!

If you’re into pizza dough and/or bread baking, this is a great fit. You really don’t need to go with the Pro version in my opinion. This may be a smaller footprint but it handles all tasks with ease. Easily fits under your wall cabinets and looks great in the countertop. Ooni Halo for the Win!

Wish I would have bought this years ago instead of using a KitchenAid.

Waited a long time for this mixer!

I was so happy to see the Ooni Halo Core come out! I make 3-5 loaves of bread every weekend and this mixer kicks butt! My gluten strength and oven spring are so much better than when using the Kitchen Aid. I always had to do slap and folds to get gluten strength, prior to doing coil folds, or stretch and folds. My Kitchen Aid was struggling and I had already had to replace a gear because of bread mixing. I had resorted to mixing by hand and that was wearing me out, big time! Don't have to worry with the Ooni Halo Core! The only time I do coil folds now is when I'm making focaccia, but that's just because I think I enjoy the coil folding process. This is a fantastic mixer and I'm so happy to have received it from my husband for my birthday. Ooni has elevated to the top in my mind and heart! Now, I just have to convince my husband to get me a pizza oven!

First Spiral Mixer

Have been making Pizza dough with various hydrations.
Learning how to use the mixer and keep dough temperature from increasing too quickly.
So far the dough is turning out better than other mixers!
Thanks for making a model with a volume that is in the sweet spot for home bakers!

Amazing

Words can’t begin to express how much easier this makes baking everything from breads to cakes to cookies. Love all the attachments. Figured this would be good, as we already have experience with an Ooni pizza oven. Worth every bit of the price, and more.
