I have had this specific mixer for about 3 months now, and during these 3 months, I frequently make various things, both sweet treats and tough doughs! However, compared to before when I had a handheld mixer and it took me 20 minutes to make a cake, now I finish in 5 minutes!
Positives!
+ It is powerful, and don't be afraid even though it shows low wattage, it mixes everything perfectly, even tough doughs which I frequently make, like pizza dough, with the appropriate attachment that is provided, the dough turns out fantastic!
+ It mixes so well that it doesn't leave any unmixed parts on the sides or bottom, it mixes in a circular motion all around, so if you have this concern and you're unsure, don't worry, it mixes perfectly. Finally, after all these years of using my hands, I always had to use a spoon to scrape the batter off the walls, now that torture is gone, as well as the time it took!
Note: Don't put it on high speed right away because it will splatter everything out! I made that mistake the first time since I didn't know and it made a mess of the counter!
+ It comes with many attachments that are very easy to attach and detach from the mixer!
+ It is very beautiful and compact, designed with good quality materials. I chose it because it is an official Bosch product, of course!
+ The parts are very easy to clean, and the bowl is of high quality!
Negatives!
- The bowl is small, not too small, but if you want to make a large dough, it won't fit! Personally, for my use, it is perfectly fine, but I have to mention it for those who make a lot of dough!
- It is not easy to add ingredients while it is running, and if I want to pour something liquid, I have to lift it up completely to avoid spilling it outside!
- It is a bit difficult to close and open, it takes some effort to lock it in place because it gets stuck, and sometimes it hits the bowl!
Other than that, it is a very good device and yes, it is worth its price, and you will see the difference! P.S.: It also comes with a lid, for those who might wonder where to put it on top of the bowl to prevent splatters, that is also a positive!
