Dream Machine
on October 21, 2015
Posted by: Marcil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bosch machines run in our family. My mother used one with 8 children, and this is how I learned to cook. She gave me one when I got married. I taught/am teaching my own children how to cook with a Bosch. When my oldest daughter got married last year, I knew I had to giver her one to continue this MUST HAVE appliance in her own kitchen!! My MIL gave me another brand of mixer (the K brand) and she raved about it. I tried it once and NEVER went back! It was just taking up space, so I just gave it away, all the while raving about having a Bosch. It's that good!!

Best Mixer for Large when making Large Batches
on April 19, 2015
Posted by: Familyof7
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] GENERAL:
First, we are a family of 7 and only cook things in bulk (an average batch of bread for me is 6 lbs). I make bread 5 days a week on average. I have had other popular mixers and nothing kneads and handles with ease this amount of dough like this Bosch Universal. The smallest batch I have made is Zucchini Bread and that was still 3 lbs.
I studied for days various reviews from professional sites and individuals on this site and others who sell the item. I consistently found that those who want to make something small (1 lb loaf of bread for example) did not love this mixer. Almost every 1 or 2 star rating out there referenced small batches. The opposite was true for those who made a lot of cookies, bread, or other items at a time they loved this mixer. This was perfect for my needs, and while I have not tried the smaller qty nor do I plan too, it is doing a great job with larger batches that we require in my household.
I was impressed with how well it kneads bread dough. I instantly noticed the dough developed much quicker and more consistently then it did in my previous mixer.
I also love that I can replace any little part on the machine if it breaks. However, the number of parts and the fact that so many are plastic makes me wonder a little about how often I will have to replace them.
My main issue or complaint is cleaning (keeping it from 5 stars). There are so many parts to keep track of and so many places for food to hide that it takes twice as long to clean and twice the space to store.
PROS:
Very powerful
Great Kneading Action
Options available (haven't purchased accessories like blender).

CONS:
Only one that I see, It is not as easy to clean up as other popular mixers. More parts more nooks and crannies.
A lot of plastic and it just feels inferior.
While a workhorse, it is a bit of an eye sore.

Best mixer ever
on February 20, 2015
Posted by: Charl
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my mixer for years and it is the best. There isn't anything I can't make in it. I use it for making bread, cookies, whipping cream, frosting and everything. I absolutely love it and would never use anything but a Bosch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Eliminates messes
on January 1, 2015
Posted by: KristyMH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had mine for over 2 years. I make desserts for 200 daily (weekdays) and this mixer has kept up with me. The only complaint I have is the plastic attachments, mainly the cookie dough paddles. I would understand them stripping if the machine couldn't handle the dough, I would rather break a paddle than burn out a motor, however, it's confusing because if the motor can handle kneading my heavy bread dough I'm sure it can handle the cookie dough. I'm frustrated and tired of buying replacement plastic paddles. Please offer stainless! I'll gladly pay additional for quality.
My favorite part of this mixer is the lid, keeps all that flour and powdered sugar off of my cabinets.
