I am so glad I finally pushed to purchase button. I have a professional Kitchenaid mixer, however I really like using the Bosch. It is quiet and is able to hold a large amount like my Kitchenaid. I paid more for the K itchenaid so I would say this Bosch is a great value for money. I love how easy it is to add ingredients to the bowl and it has a lid to completely cover it so flour does not go all over kitchen. I was impressed with how easy to use, and easy to clean. There are several different attachments and it works well. My opinion is you can’t go wrong with this.

Best large mixer I have ever used! This mixer stays in place far better than the Kitchen Aid I was given, and it is lightweight compared to a Kitchen Aid. The bowl locks in place with a simple twist and stays! I use this all the time to make butter and let me tell you the double lid feature great for adding items quickly. When you make butter, the milk fat can be very messy if you're not paying attention. The lid system on this mixer keeps all the ingredients in the bowl! I would grab this in a house fire! Also, this vendor had the best deal at the time of my purchase, far more added extras and I love them all! All I use my Kitchen Aid for now is the external attachments.

This mixer is awesome at kneading dough! I’ve made three batches so far and each time the dough achieved the window pane test in under 10 mins! Powerful and fast and I highly recommend it for making doughs. Product arrived on time, in good condition, and was well packaged. They also included a free dough hook extender to my surprise and delight.

Why I Love It! A Review of the Bosch Universal Plus Mixer! –
I ordered this to compare to my vintage Bosch (the original version of this mixer) from the 70s. This is pretty similar to that old Bosch with the following improvements:
-suction cup feet so the mixer doesn't walk around (or off) the counter while kneading dough
-a bowl with a lip to surround the lid ring (this prevents the lid from popping off on large batches)
-the bowl edge is turned down like a little umbrella which gives improved gripping for transport
The motor of both the old and new is of similar power. I find it to bog down more than I prefer with large batches (above 7 lbs) of dough. I've made up to 5200g (11.2 lbs) of dough in this mixer and it will do it but it's a strain on the motor.
One other drawback (or advantage depending on how you prefer to proof your dough) is that this mixer really heats up the dough. It'll go from 65 or 70F up to 110F in 7 minutes of kneading. I personally prefer to keep the dough at room temp. A work around is to add ice to the water to knock the temp down before hand. So, although I don't like the heating, it's something that can be dealt with.
I will be returning the mixer and instead ordering a stainless bowl for my old Bosch mixer. I believe it may help with this heating issue. Additionally, it does away with the center column for a little more space for dough (about 200 additional grams). I ordered this mainly to compare and see if it was worth upgrading. I think the refinements are probably worth the price difference. But I instead am going to put that cost difference toward a stainless bowl and the drive/dough hook to match ($350 new just for this bowl and accessories!).
I'd used a 1981 Kitchenaid by Hobart for years and although an excellent mixer, the Bosch is also good product with a proven long lifespan. The Bosch can make 2x the amount of dough and the lid system is a lot cleaner than the open bown of the Kitchenaid.
I highly recommend ANY Bosch Universal Mixer!
