Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I saw a lot of mixed reviews. When I purchased this I was pretty nervous but did not want to pay 3x this price for its competitor. I feel comfortable writing this review since it’s been at least a month of making bagels and bread loaves. This mixer is fantastic. I saw a handful of reviews giving a thumbs down because it “doesn’t rub the edge or get all of the ingredients”. You don’t want it to. That wears out the motor and damages the bowl over time. I’ve made 15 batches of bagels and 10 loaves of bread and have yet had to stop the machine to help mix the ingredients. Dough is also very hard on mixing motors and this one has no issues. It’s large. This is a full size mixer for those wondering. I saw reviews from people who said that the materials are cheap and the pivot snapped. Incorrect usage. This thing is made of metal. This isn’t a cheap plastic mixer. If you rock the head back and let it slam open and shut(due to its own weight) I can see how some have snapped this. With that said it’s not fragile, either. I’m sure it’s just from people carelessly flinging it open and letting it drop shut. The mixing attachments are coated so they are easily to clean and the bowl is large enough for full and double batches. Don’t let the negative reviews scare you. I was skeptical but this has been one of the better mixers I’ve purchased in years.
