Truly amazing mixer

I’ve had two Kitchenaid mixers in my kitchens over the years. They work great for general purpose mixing and are extremely versatile. However, for dough kneading, a spiral mixer is purpose built. Ooni has knocked it out of the park with this mixer. I watched several YouTube reviews and landed on purchasing the Ooni mixer. The commercial mixers (like SunMix and others) may well be better. But they are much more expensive and really better suited for commercial applications. The Ooni looks great, works well and is easy to use. First time, I had perfect dough 62% hydration). The bowl fits in the fridge if you want to cold bulk ferment. There’s no handle in the bowl (because the bowl spins), which did result in me dropping it once with 2kg of dough on concrete (oops)! The bowl got a ding on the rim, but was otherwise unaffected. More importantly the dough survived. If you’re deciding on a new mixer, and dough mixing is your primary use case, get the Ooni.
Fantastic spiral mixer that takes the effort out of making dough (in my case sourdough for bread and pizza). I've had several mixers over the years including the iconic KitchenAid Artisan and this beats them all hands down. My only disappointment is that it doesn't handle dough quantities below 1kg particularly well and as someone making and baking for one I just don't need to make that quantity of dough on every occasion (and don't have the room for a second freezer!).
This mixer was the game changer I was looking for! I make sourdough sandwich bread that went from good to great by switching to an Ooni mixer. I can’t wait to see what else I can do with this wonderful machine.
