Mixes dough perfectly. Much better than a stand mixer. Very easy to clean up after use. Have not used the beater or whisk so cannot comment. For both sourdough and yeasted dough this machine is very quick and simple to use. Love the bowl cover when resting dough. It feels like a well built machine with great stability. This machine is superb for handling large amounts. Not good for small batches (less than 500g flour) but, this is understandable given the size of the machine, and not a problem at all. I use it for stiff doughs and very wet doughs, both work well. Also very good with enriched doughs. Although I have not found it necessary to autolyse flour before mixing, I generally do as mixing is much quicker which does not allow the dough to get to hot. It is a good idea to follow Ooni’s instructions for mixing and use cold/cool liquid. In summary, this is a fantastic machine for anybody who regularly makes bread, pizza dough, and enriched doughs. In my opinion, it is worth every penny and would highly recommend. I honestly don’t know how I coped before the consistency of my dough is fantastic. I don’t think I would bake half as much without it
I’ve mixed dough for a long time, either in a planetary mixer or by hand. Today, I used my new Oonie spiral mixer for the first time and it was a game changer! It was very easy to operate and clean. I also love the larger capacity compared to my Kitchenade. Very happy!
