KitchenAid

4.2

(181)

"I've only had KitchenAid for the last 26 years and it works great. Mne is a 6qt professional and it looks like new after 26 years of use"

"I think this model from the Artisan series is a great choice. Perfect for cakes and frostings, and no bowl lift!"

"I love it."

"I have had the Kitchenaid Artisan stand mixer for just over five years and it is as good as the day I took it out of its box."

"KitchenAid all the way, on Thursday(my birthday) I will have had mine for 36 years."

"You can't go wrong with Kitchenaid."

"I love my KitchenAid. My grandma had one, my mom has one. They generally stand the test of time & I can’t imagine using anything else."

"[KitchenAid Classic Plus 4.5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer]"

"I am team Kitchenaid Pro Line, the 7qt with the 1/2 speed."

"I used the KitchenAid before getting a bread machine."

Ankarsrum

4.7

(58)

"If making bread is your focus, Ankarsrum is the mixer to look at. It kneads stiff doughs without effort with the roller."

"My 20+ KitchenAid was giving up the ghost, so I bought an Ankarsrum. I love it."

"I swear by Ankarsrum for bread stand mixer. Tho i know out of budget siya pero eto talaga hindi masisira kapag nagknead ng dough"

"Hey! So I ended up getting an Ankarsrum and I'm very happy with it!"

"I went from a heavy duty KA to an Ankarsrum and there’s just no comparison. Save your money for the Ankarsrum."

"For bread dough and home volumes of dough nothing beats the ankarsrum assistant formerly known as the Electrolux assistant."

"Ankarsrum. Hands down. Best mixer on the market."

"Ankarsrum. My bread and meringues have never been better or easier."

"Stripped the gears in my KA twice in about 2 years just making bread. Bought an Ankarsrum and love it."

"Ankarsrum doubtlessly."

Kenwood

4.6

(43)

"Kenwood has more torque than Kitchen Aid and is a more robust machine."

"Kenwood. Any of the "Titanium" or XL models are heavy duty."

"I've had a Kenwood Chef Major for 15 years now and really put it to hard work a lot."

"This thing is a beast - it can handle every type of dough I've put it through."

"We went Kenwood and are very happy."

"+1 for Kenwood, have used for home baking and commercially."

"The answer to this is nearly always Kenwood in UK/Europe."

"The Kenwood is more stable and powerful than KA and easily handles a double batch of bagels."

"Kitchen Aid is style over substance with their pathetic powerless motors."

"Built with girders and held together with bolts."

Bosch

4.5

(16)

"Bosch Universal Plus is a beast for bread, churns through heavy bagel dough without any issues."

"I have a Bosch that has never let me down."

"After burning up three stand mixers, I bought a Bosch. It's been perfect for me."

"Far better for bread than any KA I've ever used."

"Bosch mixer is the best."

"I actually like Bosch the most cos it’s very stable and while mixing heavier dough."

"I’ve had mine for 32 years now & never had a single issue with it."

"Bosch Universal Plus mixer, but it’s going to run you more than a Kitchenaid. Either one can be both used without hesitation."

"Recommended long term engines that last are Ankarsrum or Bosch."

"If not then the Bosch $400 or the Nutrimill Artiste $250."

Hobart

5.0

(11)

"If you want a mixer built like a tank that's capable of killing you if you fall into the mixing bowl, Hobart is the way to go."

"Depends on your budget. I think the real answer is Hobart-Ankersrum-Kitchenaid, in that order."

"Hobart N50 is the way to go. Hobart machines are made to last and are beasts."

"Concrete floors? Hobart."

"The absolute best mixer for serious bakers."

"Hobart hands down."

"However you can still get a Hobart commercial but they do cost almost 3 times an Ankasrum and that is steep."

"Hobart for production"

"If you really mean 'heavy duty', a Hobart N50 is a much better choice."

"A step above that would be a Hobart."

Stand Mixer

5.0

(10)

"An easy one that we do all the time is make homemade butter after which you will have fresh buttermilk which we use for blueberry buttermilk pancakes and muffins or buttermilk biscuits all of which are amazing with fresh butter."

"Definitely the focaccia and the sour cream and chive pull apart rolls. Enjoy your Christmas gift!"

"Flourless chocolate wave cake! I only want to make meringue if I have a stand mixer"

"The sour cream and onion rolls"

"Sweet potato rolls!"

"First thing I made with my stand mixer was the focaccia recipe. It's worth it, totally a crowd pleaser."

"One of all time favorites: Almond Poppy Seed Cake from Dessert Person!"

"The brioche or a cake with the silky chocolate buttercream. I haven’t tried any of her cake recipes but that chocolate buttercream is one of the best things I’ve eaten."

"I think I didn't want to touch her oat and nut brittle cookies (dessert person) until I got myself a mixer. They are amazing.. double the batch and freeze a bunch of dough 🙂"

"This is the one that we use, and we love it. The double hooks mix the dough perfectly."

Cuisinart

3.8

(8)

"You should also consider a 5.5qt cuisinart sm-50c. They're $100 cheaper than a 4.5qt kitchenaid and get rated just as high as the kitchenaid."

"I love my cuisinart mixer. You can also use the kitchen aid attachments with it."

"So far, so good. It’s been great for me."

"My Cuisinart works just fine."

"I have a cuisinart with a insert you have to freeze. 10+ years in, I've never had an issue with it using a family 14% butterfat base recipe."

"Specs to rival the KitchenAid Artisan at a fraction of the price."

"I got a Cuisinart year ago cause it was bigger and had a bit more power than the Kitchen Aid."

"Avoid Cuisinart as a stand mixer they are horrible compared to kitchen aid."

Breville

4.2

(6)

"I've had mine for 13 years and it's still going strong."

"You can also opt for 2nd hand KA mixers or Breville mixers."

"The Breville definitely sounds good, A large capacity bowl and the scraper attachment are great features to have."

"I have both a kitchenaid and a breville and I almost 95% of the time use the breville over the kitchenaid."

"My partner bought a breville (bakery chef hub) with extras for cheaper than a kitchenaid without the extras for bread making and it's really really good."

"I've got a Breville Scraper Mixer and use it for dough regularly; no issues at all."

KitchenAid Stand Mixer

"I can only speak to the KitchenAid, as I have no experience with the others."

"Get the biggest, most powerful one you can afford."

"I like my kitchen aid, the attachments can get pricey, but if you use it it’s worth the money."

"I got the standard KitchenAid one (no complaints about it)."

"I have had 5 different kitchenaids. I can tell you i have many many frustrations with them."
