“You can ignore the people who don’t understand how the bowl works. It’s not going to “damage your machine” by not locking into place, that’s how it’s designed. The old Bosch mixers never locked in place either and never one time did any of us have an issue. Mine old one is over 20 years old and there is no “lock” on the bottom. That’s a new thing. Also, this bowl is GREAT! It’s currently kneading 8 loaves of cinnamon swirl bread dough like it’s not there.”
“This is such a great addition to my Bosch accessories. This mixes bread dough easily and kneads it to perfection. I actually ended up purchasing this for my son and daughter for Christmas.”
“I would avoid this bowl as it doesn’t secure to the Bosch mixer. While rotating and kneading the dough you can tell the dough is pulling on the hook away from the base of the machine. Holding the bowl in place helped slightly. Personally I’m not going to strain my beloved Bosch mixer.”
