Decided to buy a Bosch
By P. Donnelly
I was looking for a either a kitchen-aid or Bosch mixer and after much research decided to go with the Bosch. The new kitchen-aids seem to be more concerned with offering the right selection of designer colours than making careful decisions about quality manufacturing. I have read all the reports of Kitchen-aids with melted plastic gearbox housings and leaking oil. They may have fixed some of these problems by now but the pedigree is not that of the Hobart produced machines of old. When whirlpool bought the kitchen-aid brand they obviously did a redesign to cut corners and make more money without due care to quality. I am not willing to spend over $400 on a machine that could fall apart after the warranty runs out, Bosch still builds there own machines and care about their reputation.The machine does everything I have tried. Whips eggs better than any other mixer I have tried. Makes cookie dough faster than I thought possible(used cookie mixing paddles). Made a batch a of scones easily (used cookie mixing paddles). Tried it with pastry it worked perfectly(used pastry wire whips, not the whips that come with the machine. Made a batch of bread buns with the interesting looking bread hook, and they turned out great. The dough hook was even able to perfectly distribute the raisins I added part way through the kneading process.I was a bit worried by some kitchen-aids users saying the Bosch would not handle small batches well, but I didn't have a problem with small batches. I tried large and small batches, both worked well. Maybe if you were only mixing a few cups of something it may not be the best choice, but really I would rather save the hassle and mix that in a bowl by hand. The kitchen-aids might have a slight advantage with less to clean, but it is only small difference. The Bosch is 800watts, double most of the new kitchen-aids and well I have a hard time believing people that try to say a kitchen-aids will do more than 2 loaves of bread with their lower powered motors. Also the Bosch takes up less counter space and can be easily slipped under cabinets away from the work area when need be.I think Bosch makes a good mixer.

By Homemaker in the West
5 star product!A serious home cook/baker, I've been a Kitchenaid owner for over 30 years, (both 5qt & 6 qt sizes). I still use them, but since purchasing the Bosch I reach for it most frequently. The Bosch Universal Mixer cannot be matched, particularly for high volume, and/or heavy doughs, it can mix up enough dough for several loaves of bread without any strain at all.Because of the unique design of the dough hook, the dough is stretched and kneaded much more thoroughly (most like hand-kneading) which is superior to the dough hook action of the KA, resulting in better gluten development for great textured breads. The only downside (if this IS one), is that the machine works best mixing enough dough for at least two loaves, any less than that it is not efficient. Since I always bake at least 2 to 4 loaves at a time and freeze the extras this is not a concern for me.I haven't had an opportunity to use the whisks or cookie paddles but I have no doubt they will perform perfectly---and what a JOY to not have to hassle with the machine's obtrusive "arm" over the center of the bowl as is the case with the traditional-style stand mixers. Adding ingredients while mixing is no longer a messy task, plus you can actually observe more clearly what is going on in the bowl as it mixes.Space-saving bonus: If you purchase the accessories (blender, food processor attachments, etc.) you'll be able to clear your counter/cupboards of extra appliances.Don't be concerned about the unit "walking" while in use, as the strong suction cups on the base hold the mixer firmly to the counter (tip: make sure your countertop is clean, and the suction feet are not resting on grout lines so a firm suction seal can be achieved.)I'm very satisfied with this purchase, and have no qualms about recommending it.

Mixing: Excellent, Cleanup: Ugh...,
By Tara Ramey
This mixer is powerful. You have the main unit where you attach your bowl, and a secondary unit where you can attach a blender.There are many, many accessories you can buy for this unit. Be sure if you buy accessories you buy for the correct unit as accessories for this model are NOT interchangeable with Bosch's previous all-in-one machine! I've already had to return one attachment because I made this mistake. Look for accessories that have a model number starting with MUZ6!This machine tears up just about any food you throw at it. When you turn it on you can get the feel for the full 800 watts of power it is capable of by it's roaring sound. You may need to run to your circuit breakers to find a suitable plug for the unit, since 800watts is just about the limit most circuit breakers can take. It's doubtful you can run this unit along with another kitchen appliance at the same time in the same receptacle.Cleanup is not fun, not fun at all. I did not like the design of the bowl in this aspect. There are plenty of crooks and crevices that dough gets in that take some scrubbing to get out. Also, the top/center of the bowl serves as the "gears" for some of your accessories, but when not using them, they catch quite a bit of food in them, and it is difficult to clean.While on the subject of the bowl, other than cleanup, it's an awesome design. There is a removable splash guard around the rim that allows you to add flour to a recipe, while the unit is running without making a mess. You also have another lid that fits into the splash guard for the bowl to cover it should you need to rise dough.My unit came with the blender, so I'll review it here as well. The blender is wonderful too. I can actually grind my own wheat in it for pancakes and cleanup is a snap. Also the design of the blades is ingenious as one blade is actually pointed downward toward the base to clear shop where most blenders don't touch. One problem I did have was with the blades and how they attach to the blender. They are removable, but when you put them back you need to really make sure that you tighten it well. If they are not tight enough, your blended battery goo will fall down into the crevices of the machine, which could possibly damage it. There are unfortunately small holes where this could easily occur. Unfortunately when you tighten the blades down, it's really difficult to get them untightened (Believe me, I'm a man, it's hard!). I end up having to get a pair of pliers and using them backwards (grip handles on the device) to get the blades out.Another issue with the blender that has to potential to drive me nuts is the small removable top (not the main blender top, but the small plastic piece you can remove to stuff food down). There is a hole in it! Not large, probably about 1/4 inch, but it's still large enough that if you blend just right your stuff will come out of the blender. There is absolutely nothing you can do about this, shy of sticking your finger, a napkin or paper towel down it while blending. Bosch wanted this to act more like a drip funnel, but I just don't get the point of having a hole here.Hands down, this is a great unit, and Bosch has a known reputation of creating kitchen units that last for years, even decades! I would definitely recommend this one to anyone serious about cooking in their home!*** UpdateAfter two years of service, I've had two broken parts I've had to replace, the blade assembly in the blender broke, and the piece you attach the plastic cookie paddles has broke. These cost $60 to replace. Fortunately the replacements are entirely metal, so I think I'll get longer use from these. Not sure if newer models include these better pieces.
