“I mean, it's necessary equipment. It's not that thrilling. You're either making dough or you aren't. If you are, you need this.
For what it's worth, I had to order a new one because I left my rising dough in my sealed mixer bowl like an idiot. I'm lucky to have survived. The lid wouldn't budge, so I unlocked the mixing axle. There was a loud pop and the lid did not withstand the implosion. Everything else was fine, and the only breakage was the locking tabs on the lid. If anything, it's a testament to the sturdiness of the Bosch universal mixer unit. I expect it'll outlast me and be given to my kids, provided I quit making yeast bombs.”
