I really want to love this mixer but …….

Effort to mix the dough and stability are amazing! Love the clean look! Only con is the dough tends to ride up the hook on the halo core when doing a higher hydration recipe. I have the halo pro also & it doesn’t at all on that one. I needed the smaller mixer though to be able to do a single batch where the pro can’t.
I bought the smaller Ooni (the Core) because I bake sourdough bread only once a week. It doesn’t work well with a single batch. Somewhat better with a double batch. The dough still rides up the spiral hook and up into the lock area. The dough does not appear to be significantly better than just making my dough by hand.
I primairly bake bread, specifically bagels and pizza weekly. I had other mixers from top brands that did a decent job, but nothing compared to this sprial mixer from Ooni. The speed at which a windowpane can be achieved is extraordinary. If you do strong doughs regularly, i highly recommend this mixer! It is efficient, well made, and very quiet. I am very pleased with my Ooni Halo Core mixer!
Bought as a replacement for an aging Kitchen Aid stand mixer and I couldn't be happier with it. Not only is it more compact, it is easier to move around which is important as I age.
The only problem I have with it is the dough climbs the hook. I thought the reason I bought this over my kitchen aid is it wouldn’t do this and I do make two loafs at a time.
