“I love my Bosch universal plus mixer my husband gave me for Christmas, only the plastic driver didn’t work for my beaters & I tried ordering the metal drive & it was always sold out& I left a message stating this , ya’ll got back in touch with me after I gave them my mailing address & they sent me the metal one, I was so happy that I received it so quickly! It is everything I wanted in a stand mixer!! Love love it!”
“I my husband bought me the Bosch plus mixer, I absolutely love it. I ordered extra cake paddles & scraper but the plastic power drive didn’t work , so I tried to order the metal one & it was sold out, I tried Amazon & no luck, but finally got in touch with Bosch & they sent me the metal drive right away at no extra charge! Unbelievable they exceeded my expectations! Thank you for caring!”
“I really love the product for making sourdough bread dough. I bought the upgraded dough hook and use it regularly. It was hard to be sure it was worth $100!!
The basic package should include cookie dough paddles. It feels minimal and seems a ploy to charge high rates for the accessories.”
“I just got this mixer and made my first batch of cookies with the dough hook and extender. I fumbled around taking off the driveshaft to clean the bowl and I worry about keeping the drive socket dry, but I'd watched videos on how to unpack and assemble so the rest was easier.
So far the hardest thing was cleaning the white piece with ridges that houses the driveshaft. I had to use toothpicks to get all the dough out between the ridges and around the top.
I didn't have to scrape the bowl using the dough hook and from what I've heard I should keep using it instead of the paddles to make cookies, the main reason I got this mixer. It's a well made dough hook and attaches easily.
I made smooth peanut butter thumbprint cookies while using the splash ring for a test batch. There wasn't any splatter on the counter or wall, a welcome change, but pouring in the flour was awkward since I don't normally use a splash ring and haven't used a stand mixer for decades.
Minus 1 star because the cookie paddle reviews say they're poorly designed and break often. Many Amazon reviews of other brands of this paddle design say the same thing and I would have liked a good metal paddle option.
I chose this over a Kitchen Aid because it moves around limited counter space well and easily clears cupboards. It fit in my small kitchen right away and looks good on the counter.”
