Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ordered this DOBBOR mixer as my wife is always baking cakes, cookies, and pies. Sure she already has a KitchenAid and a Cuisinart mixer, but that's like telling me I don't need another socket set. The DOBBOR mixer comes in a pretty large box, packed inside another even larger box (24"x16 1/4"x13"). I point it out in case you're worried about porch pirates. The mixer is adequately packed in Styrofoam with all accessories individually wrapped. Unboxing is quick and easy. Reading the instruction booklet is slow and painful. The instructions are in slightly broken English with some points that don't make sense. "Please follow the instructions before you use it, only in this way can we satisfy you more." I know what they are trying to say and I know what they mean, but it could be better worded. The DOBBOR mixer is built using the drill press design (as are many of the imported mixers) . Whereas a KitchenAid has the motor directly connected to a right angle drive unit in the tilt head body, this DOBBOR mixer looks like the motor is in the back of the arm connected to the drive with a cogged belt (much like a drill press is). The mixer body is plastic and therefore lighter in weight than the metal mixers. It does have 5 suction cup feet that serve to hold the mixer from walking while in use. They do work well, as you will soon learn whenever trying to move it. The mixer comes with a 8.5 quart stainless steel mixing bowl, a dough hook, a whisk and a beater attachment. The whisk does not appear to brush close to the side of the bowl like her other mixer. The whisk is a heavier gauge wire than her Cuisinart; not near as flimsy. The pin that drives the attachments goes straight through, engaging the attachment on both sides. The old mixer has the pin sticking out on one side only (not that this makes any difference). The splash cover is nicely designed. It attaches to the mixer head, whereas her old one attaches to the bowl (and doesn't stay in place well). The opening is a nice design too. She complains how she has to turn her old mixer off and raise the head to add ingredients. With the DOBBOR you can easily add ingredients with the mixer is running through this opening. She also likes the Pulse feature where the mixer runs as long as you hold the dial to P. The DOBBOR (as per instructions) has built-in protection to shut the unit off in the case of over-heating (much like the thermal protection circuit in a drill). The instructions state to turn the knob to 0, unplug the unit, wait 20-30 minutes and then try it again. This should prevent the motor from any damage. The DOBBOR mixer is described as a commercial household mixer. I'm not sure I would use the term commercial, as this is a plastic housing. It is reasonably priced for what you are getting (especially considering it's 8.5 quart). It's certainly a great buy (current price of $119.99) when comparing with mixers costing double or more. I have to wonder though about durability. We haven't had the mixer long enough to say here. The product page lists a 5 year quality guarantee. However, there is no guarantee printed in the instruction booklet, nor is there any contact information on the product page or in the instruction booklet. So how do you contact DOBBOR if you need assistance? Overall, my wife seems pleased with her mixer. I will give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐ for now. It is reasonably priced and does work well. It has a couple of nice features her other mixers don't. The capacity is an amazing 8.5 quarts. The 660 watt motor should be capable of handling dough with ease. I didn't give it 5 Stars because I can't really rate the durability of the mixer and because of the missing warranty customer service information. I hope my opinions prove helpful - Thanks for Reading ✌😉
