This serious mixer is putting in some serious work . . . and so am I … Eating Bread!
Bought the Ooni Halo Pro Spiral Dough Mixer for my wife, and let’s just say… I may have accidentally upgraded my own life in the process.
She’s big into bread making, and this thing handles dough like a champ. The spiral mixing action is no joke - it develops the dough beautifully without all the struggling and overheating I've heard about with other mixers. It’s built like a tank too, so no hesitation throwing tougher doughs at it. It just keeps going like, “That all you got?”
Best part? The results. We now have fresh bread on a regular basis, especially her jalapeño cheddar sourdough, which has basically become a weekly event in this house. I’m not complaining.
It’s easy to use, solidly built, and clearly designed for people who are serious about dough … or serious about eating what comes out of it.
Highly recommend. Just be prepared to start eating a lot more homemade bread.
Writing this as someone who finally bought a new mixer after my 8 year old KitchenAid died on me when I started baking with fresh milled flour. I am almost beyond words with how much I love this new mixer. I feel so bougie using it. The design is so sleek. I’ve never felt the motor overheating or even getting too warm on my double/triple batches. The fact that it comes standard with several attachments is just incredible. You mean I don’t have to purchase each individual attachment? It comes ready to go for all purposes?? 10/10 for a company thinking about the customer. This has become an essential tool in my baking and has made everything so much easier. Myself, my family, and my husband’s coworkers are very thankful to Ooni!
I really love this more than I thought I would. For context, I used to have an ank which I loved—not sure the end result is really different but this is much more fun to use. I’ve only used it for bread—given what I’ve read probably won’t use it for cookies or cake batter. The reason I’m subtracting a star is that the breaker bar is impossible to remove easily. I really struggle every time—and I am pretty strong! Otherwise—if you bake a lot of bread highly recommend!
I couldn’t be more pleased at the design, efficacy and ease of use of this “more than a mixer” dough creator. Although it is a little pricy, you’ll soon forget what you paid when you are experiencing how wonderful this machine is.
I love using the Ooni mixer. My long loved Kitchenaid just can’t handle my sourdough obsession. I amazed at how fast my dough can get to windowpane! I also can mix large batches of cake batter and never have an issue with pockets of flour at the bottom. Such a timer saver and home bakery product quality booster!
5 days ago my Ooni Halo Pro Spiral Mixer was delivered. I absolutely love it! I was slowly killing my Kitchenaid Pro. I’ve made sourdough bread and cookies and both turned out great! I made the right decision to invest in this mixer.
