Bosch Mixer Review

Bosch Mixer

     Modern kitchens of today require large and small appliances that are capable of not only one task, but also several tasks.  The Bosch mixer is one such small appliance.  Bosch has been bringing excellent quality and beauty to kitchens around the world for several years now.  Why should your kitchen be any different?

     The Bosch Universal Plus 6 Quart Mixer with 800-Watt Motor is a powerhouse when it comes to preparing dough, grains, soups, drinks, sauces, milkshakes, and much more.  This is more than just a mixer.  It comes with an optional blender attachment, a dough hook, whip attachments, a splash ring, bowl cover, and a 6-quart plastic bowl.

     Additional attachments and appliances that can be purchased to fit the Bosch Universal include a citrus juicer, food processor, meat grinder, shredder, slicer, and even a grain mill.  The juicer turns whole lemons, oranges, and grapefruits into healthy juice in no time.  The meat grinder can accommodate several size disks, allowing you to grind or mince meats.  The meat grinder provides the base for four additional accessories:  the pastry press, the berry press, the sausage stuffer and the grating attachment (for nuts and spices), expanding these universal mixers’ capabilities even further.  This model of Bosch mixer gives new meaning to the term multi-tasking appliance.

     Consumers who purchased the Bosch Universal can’t say enough about this mixers’ ability to mix bread dough, pizza dough, and thick batters.  The large capacity bowl can handle up to 15 pounds of dough without any problem, which is great for large families or for those who bake a lot.  The four speeds with pulse option enable you to mix as slowly or as quickly as needed.  There were a few concerns mentioned by consumers who have purchased and used this Bosch mixer.  The mixing bowl is a fantastic size, but the clean up is labor intensive.  Also, one consumer mentioned that taking the whips or dough hook in and out is very difficult.  However, despite these concerns, both consumers said they love their Bosch Universal mixer and will continue to use it on a regular basis.  Bosch stands behind this model with a three-year warranty on the motor.

     Smaller families will appreciate the Bosch Compact 400 Watt Mixer for their cooking and baking needs.  This mixer isn’t as powerful as the Bosch Universal, but don’t underestimate its abilities.  This mixer does a great job with foods like mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie, cookie batter, sauces, creaming egg whites (great for meringue), and even making creamy butter.  It can manage up to 6 pounds of bread dough, which is equal to roughly three loaves of bread.

     This compact model mixer comes with a 4-quart mixing bowl with cover, dough hook, wire whip, and a French whisk and is the ideal size for storing in a cupboard or right on the counter.  The multi-function arm on the base will accommodate additional attachments including a continuous shredder, blender, and food processor, making this Bosch small appliance the ultimate multi-tasking kitchen tool.  Backed by a three-year motor warranty and a one-year warranty on the rest of the parts, this Bosch mixer is a good choice for singles, couples, or small families.
