I regularly make 10kg of sourdough and needed a decent mixer to aid with this. Considered a kitchen aid but I’ve seen so many in professional kitchens where the gears are knackered from over working. The Ooni pro is perfect for my needs I make 2 x 5kg batches which is the recommend max for the machine, which it handles flawlessly. Never struggling or overheating. Also looks great left out on my kitchen surface top, the Mrs is happy too. No brainer
I bought this to make dough for breads specifically for making sourdough. I’d been using a Kenwood which was ok for mixing cakes and meringues but wasn’t up to it for a 65% saturation sourdough. I was kneading nearly 2Kg of dough by hand for fifteen minutes. This didn’t do my hand arthritis any favours and the dough still wasn’t to my satisfaction. Using COLD water (I’m stressing it because I’ve found that it is vital, as all spiral mixers tend to raise the dough temperature) I’m making much better dough with no fuss, no hand pain and it gets on with it while I have a cup of coffee. I haven’t tried the attachments, but as the Kenwood does such a good job there, it may be a while before I do so. I’m chuffed to bits with this machine and heartily recommend it.
I've recently gotten into baking bread and I wanted something that can make a few loaves at a time and the Ooni Halo Pro can handle it all beautifully! My KitchenAid was overheating if I used more than 500 grams of flour. I've been making 2000 grams of flour easily! And to clarify that's not including wet ingredients. All the attachments are heavy and high quality. The spiral mixer is exactly what i needed and i didn't have to spend a ton to get a industrial one. I highly recommend!
fantastic bread mixer! Hands down superior to my old Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Only gripe? It's noisey and heats up the dough quite a bit, which is understandable with the friction factor.
