Here is the link to my blog post with all the other details I couldn't fit into the video :) sugargeekshow.com/news/bosch-mixer-review/
Fyi, the first affiliate link does not work. I don't bake big enough batches, but if you have an affiliate link for the compact mixer from Bosch please post :) Thank you for the informative review!
I decided I didn't trust all the plastic components of the Bosch, and replaced our old Kitchenaid with a new more powerful Kitchenaid. Boy, am I ever sorry I did that. The new Kitchenaid is a piece of junk compared to our old one. The new components are lesser quality and fit poorly. Even though it is higher wattage, it is less powerful. It does not maintain a constant speed. When trying to start on low, it takes off fast, throwing batter everywhere, then quicky bogs down and overheats as the dough thickens. It's not half the mixer our old Kitchenaid was. So sorry we wasted the money we budgeted for a new mixer.
I bought this last year, I emailed Bosch yesterday because the scraper attachment broke and it will break eventually. He emailed me back and is sending me a complimentary scraper, that's customer service!
They are amazing! I emailed Kitchenaid once because the enamel was peeling off my padel attachment and they wouldn't replace it :(
My bowl does not stay secure on my kitchen aid...it actually flew off and chipped the enamel! It also vibrates like crazy when you really put it to the (making divinity).
Bosch's customer service for the Universal Plus is phenomenal, the best I've ever experienced. They will make any wrong situation right without questions.
I have owned Bosch mixers for almost 40 years. My first one still works. Best mixer on the market as far as I am concerned. I am also a cake decorator, but I make a lot of bread. The motor on this machine is amazing, even with 100% whole wheat it handles it beautifully. I also use it to make homemade fondant for my cakes and it never struggles. I can’t say the same for Kitchen Aid machines.
I'm definitely adding bread to my list of projects this winter :-D
Join our mixer-owners' list: groups.io/g/Mixer-Owners ! Lots of BU/BUP owners and most members bake bread. And congrats on your BUP--it's a superb mixer. May I recommend its "tiny tank" sibling for those whose needs don't require the BUP? Check out the Bosch Compact. It was my first upgrade from my little Sunbeam hand-mixer. I was looking into a KA nine or so years ago but joined the aforementioned group; the knowledgeable members steered me to a Compact instead and I've since bought several for family and friends.
Charlotte Schoeffler do you have any idea how to take care of this machine since my mom gave me this bosch exactly the same with this video. I only clean it after used and never did anything to maintain. Does this need oil on the gear or other maintenance
@@ksam8987 just clean and dry before storing. there should be some instructions whether some parts are dishwasher safe or not.
My Bosch Magic Mixer is over 43 yrs. old. I bought it new with many attachments. I have loaded with double batches of heavy nutty chocolate chip cookie dough and it's a work horse & I have never had any problems with it. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a fancy new machine, but why replace something that isn't broke.
I like things that are made right and last. IMO too many junky made things ending up in our over filled dumps.
I am so grateful for this Liz.I have a smaller Bosch and it’s the only small mixer that has survived for so long in my kitchen.
So I was looking into getting a bigger one,and you just came through.Thank you 😊.
And to Oscar I say,we will always cherish the times we’ve seen you mixing it up, in all those videos.Alas Bosch (whose yet to be named),has come,but to relieve you.Rest well Oscar.😌
I don’t bake enough to need this....but I want this.
Hahaha right?!
same,lol
I’ve had a Bosch mixer for 37 years. It works perfectly after all these years. I love that they’ve added bowl scrapers. I take my splash guard off to add large volumes of dry ingredients.
I waited a lifetime to get my Kitchenaid mixer now I hear about this Bosch...lol
Haha I know how you feel! Maybe someday you'll need a second mixer :-D
I have hated my kitchen aid since day one...it is so bulky and heavy. I can't wait to replace it with the Bosch. My kitchen aid only gets used a couple times a year...I use my hand mixer for everything.
Please think twice, and then twice again, before sinking money into a KA. The BUP is an excellent choice; you might also want to look at the Ankarsrum (smaller footprint, same capacity, some colors are on sale now and there's a sale on all colors throughout December). There are MUCH sturdier, more versatile choices than the KA.
I just got my Kitchen Aid for Christmas 😂
Chile ...give it 345 yrs when its main stream cause right now a Bosch Mixer is $455.00. No mam I think she gotta it deeply discounted for promoting it on her channel, link is below..or they just gave to her
I have owned a Bosch Universal Plus for almost 2 years and I wish I got it a long time ago. For more than 20 years I used Kitchen Aid mixer. I gave my kitchen aid pro to my mom. I use my Bosch for making bread and pizza dough and my wife uses for muffins and cakes. To test new bread recipes, I scale down to 454g and use dough hook with dough hook extender. This makes doing small batch very easy. I like how quickly I can whip egg whites. Because of my background I weigh everything when I make bread and pizza dough.
What you got against you mom?
Richard M . Nothing against her, she lost her kitchen aid in home fire so I gave mine and all the attachments so that she didn’t have to buy as she was going to buy another lower end kitchen aid and my was the Kitchen Aid pro which was still in very good shape.
@Harrison Ford will kill someone with his plane That's OK we have more people than we need.
Where to buy a Bosch. Is that a serious question? I bough mine off of Amazon. But, I also found it in 4 place in my town the sell small appliance and cooking items. They are easy to find unless you live in Tim-Buck- 2 or bum fuck Egypt.
Harrison Ford will kill someone with his plane . I bought at mine from Barb’s Kitchen Centre
I just bought the ice cream attachment.... it's amazing! I can make batch after batch with it. I was afraid the ice and salt would scar my plastic bowl, but they didn't! I make tons of rolled sugar cookie dough with this and huge batches of royal icing. i totally love this mixer. also love how light weight it is compared to my kitchenaid!
Thank you for helping me remember how much fun my Bosch can be! I was motivated to give the outside a good scrub today so it can be shiny and ready for my next baking adventure 👍
I bought this mixer for my mother as a birthday gift and she hasn't stopped raving about how incredible it is. I tested it out with a french buttercream recipe and it turned out 👌.
I love this video!! You seem so happy!! You reminded me of a kid telling his best friend about the new-super cool toy that Santa Claus just left under the tree. ♥ 🎅
haha It's hard to hide my excitement!
I've had my kitchenaid mixer since 1989 and it still works! Now, I want this one, too!!
I just received my Bosch mixer, I love it!!! It’s my new kitchen workhorse. I purchased it with the steel bowl. This is a powerful machine you don’t need it at full go. So thank you @sugargeekshow for turning me on to this beauty ❤️
I just bought one and used your affiliated link! You're awesome! Love your personality and your knowledge! I'm currently a baking and pastry arts student and have loved watching all your videos! I just made my first three tier wedding cake recently and it turned out amazing! The day before the wedding, when I was about to make my buttercream to fill, crumb coat, and frost my cake, my KitchenAid that has been with me for 12 years stopped working!!! Go figure right? I was able to dabble with it and make it go again just so that i can make enough buttercream! I'm receiving my Bosch this Friday and my KitchenAid is in the shop right now getting fixed. I'm still keeping my KitchenAid as to make small batches and such. But thank you for your amazing review! I'll always be your supporter! ❤️
My husband just surprised me with one of these as an early Christmas present 😍😍😍 can't wait to out it to use!! ☺️☺️
It’s so nice to see that there are still brands making quality kitchen appliances. I bought a Kitchen Aid Pro and stupidly expected the build quality of my previous purchase which was a Vitamix. I was so disappointed and had to return it days later. I’m waiting for my Bosch in the mail and couldn’t be more excited. Thank you for this!
I had a similar experience with my first brand new KA. I was so excited and it was loud, mixed poorly and I hated the bowl design. Eventually I just gave it away
Truth is they should consult with you in designing it...
Clairressa Goad haha! Maybe they’ll see this review ❤️
The attachments are made out of plastic so that they will break instead of destroying the drive motor. This is a smart design choice and this is why it is important to know which drive to use with which paddle.
The plastic gears on the beaters is why I went with kitchen-aid. But it was not an easy decision. I would love it for Bosch to come out with machined stainless steel gears & beaters, & metal bowls.
It's a very sturdy plastic. Not flimsy at all and extremely easy to clean.
The Universal Bosch has only four settings, but a transmission that automatically adjusts as it works harder and gets faster as the work load is easier. The separate turning paddles whisk so much faster, you don’t need to have faster speeds. Bosch is amazing!
One point that seems that it was intentionally left out was that the kitchen aid head can be lifted up allowing for direct access to the bowl. The bowl is only blocked when the head is down and mixing.
Also very important is that with the kitchen aid you could lift the head out, remove the bowl and access all the contents of the bowl whereas the bosch the center stays in the middle making it difficult to get all the contents out of the bowl.
Got the wrong Bosch. Get the non-plus Universal.
A wood chipper for butter made me chuckle Liz! Love your videos.
Hi I've just purchased this bosch just wanted to ask to enable to make cakes do I have to purchase the paddle attachment and scrapers as it hasn't come with them. It's only arrived with the dough hook and the whisks, is that right?
You forgot to mention that the slowing down means the unit actually is using a different gear-ratio. It's one of the only mixers on the market that has a belt transmission (Bosch designs race cars yes).... it optimized the gear ratio to give the right amount of torque. This is important to know.
I didn't mention that because I didn't know :) That's great info. Thank you for letting me know
I always loved my Kitchenaid mixer which I bought in 1988. I bought a new larger one 6 yrs ago. After replacing parts on the new one twice and having it fail again I called Kitchenaid and they told me it was my fault because I made my bread dough at setting 2 and not setting 1. Really?
I now own a Bosch and can do much larger bread and biscotti loads and it is so much more powerful. I believe Bosch is the superior mixer no contest.
@Harrison Ford will kill someone with his plane Please, how is this related to China? It is the design and material specs from the US companies.
@@yw2001 they are made in china..because manufacturing is cheaper there
@@vanip4985 my Bosch compact mixer MUM4428 was made in Slovenia but distributed in Germany. Don't be afraid to buy one just because it was not made in Germany. The truth is, the manufacturing company made those compact machines somewhere else in Europe but the heads and technical engineering are germans who are sent there to oversee the production. They will not be cortrolled by represive governents like China.
Love this so much. I’ll probably never be able to get one....but it’s so awesome to be able to watch it! 👍🏻
I love it! So easy to add things in the standing mixer its really stressful. Husband got me a Kenwood I really don't like it. But, this Bosch is so nice.
Liz, I am so happy you reviewed this mixer. It is on my Christmas list.
I can see how in love she is with her new baby haha, thank you for sharing this, dear. This is lovely
Your excitement is everything 💜 I need some of your energy on this sleepy day!
Trying to get that labor going lol
Just got my Bosch mixer today. The cookie and cake are recommended to be used with the metal driver. I feel so intimidated using this after using a kitchen aid for so long. Hope I love it.
I never knew mixing could be so fun!
One day my baking reach exceeded my hand mixer's grasp and I knew it was time to invest in a stand mixer. I'd wanted a KA for most of my adult life but have read in the past few years that they don't last like they used to. I read more and more about what a workhorse the Bosch is and I wrestled with the decision for a while before finally choosing the Bosch. I was lucky to find a good used one and it's been love ever since. It does take a little getting used to but I know it's going to work for me for a long time.
The open top is a HUGE selling point. And a stainless steel mixing bowl will help those who make meringues.
I have a 6 qt Kitchen Aid, lots of attachments like the meat grinder, pasta sheeter, juicer etc. I found one of these Bosch mixers with all the attachments at my Goodwill. It was $99 but on half price day so I paid $50 for it. WOW! I bought it to sell but I used it today to make sure it worked and it’s so good! Still not decided but one thing that may make me sell it the cost of the accessories. Just the new stainless steel bowl is around $150. Most of the accessories are about that price (blender, food processor etc). It’s so good, though! One think about the bigger Kitchen Aid is that it doesn’t do smaller batches very well. With this you can whip just one egg white! So good! No scraping! So powerful! Ugggg, I think I’m going to have to keep it. Now, to tell my husband 😱
I will be interested to see how well the attachments hold up. They look like awfully flimsy plastic.
They're not that flimsy when you hold them. I've had mine for 11 years and the only one I replaced was the dough hook (which is metal) cause I threw it in the dishwasher and it's not diswasher safe. The new lEquip one is, and includes the dough hook extender, so I recommend getting that if you're lazy about hand washing.
It also has a meat grinder attachment which I use for more than meat, including zuccini and pumpkin. Also a berry press attachment which we use for many things.. Also a pasta maker attachment. And a processor! And a blender, of course! All with the same phenomenal motor.
Love the video. I seen a lot of bakers with that machine and was curious about it. Thanks for the video
I wish I could have mixer like that in the future. 😍
And I hope you get one!
thanks for the video.I liked it very much. Bosch is a good car. I use it myself👍👍👍
My husband got me a red Kitchen-Aid like the kind Oscar is. I absolutely hated the difficulty of having to lock the bowl in, and even more so the inaccessible bowl. I finally got myself a tilt-head Kitchen-Aid so I have an apple green and an apple red on my counter. I really like the big one you have but it would take up far too much counter space.
OMG I love her! I have had a Kitchen Aid mixer for 35 years but it finally stopped after trying to knead bread with it. I loved that thing. Anyway, I was getting ready to buy another...until, tada...Bosch Mixer. Like, am I the only person who doesn't know? Thank you
I have a Kitchenaid Professional 600. It’s one of their biggest stand up mixer. My mixer don’t do the dance. It has all it rubber feet. You got an used mixer off of Craig list. So yes yours will dance. That probably one of the reasons they got rid of it.
I’ve made 3 cakes in my mixer with no problem and have more room then that. Also mine mixer can make 13 dozen coat one time.
I'm still in the researching this mixer. You came across my feed. Omg, you are brave. That scared me to death. Allll the way to the top🤣 and you are Adorable ❤ thankyou for the great video!!!!
There were a few comments about this mixer in your strawberry cake video and I was interested/intrigued by the mixer, so thanks for posting a video about it. I like it’s open design for adding ingredients. It easily handled the dense product of the triple cake batter recipe, very impressive. TFS.
Found you three days ago and I’ve been saving all of your videos! Love you! You’re such a cutie pie!!!!
Your so awesome thanks for showing us! I’ve been wanting one for years! Thank you Awesome Lady☺️👍🏼
(Sotto voice): "Dayummm Oscar.....she's doggin you out so bad, man!! Oscar: (Sigh).."I got no defense man. Don't look at me..." 😅 Absolutely LOVING this!
My Bosch mixer just arrived. Yay! Thank you Liz for the coupon code! Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Trish P yay!! Happy Holidays to you and yours too ❤️
I love my kitchen aide mixer but this mixer is amazing! 🤩 Adding this to my wishlist for sure! 😍💜
I love my KA too, and I love how it looks on my counter.
This thing is not good-looking, it resembles a giant ice cream maker.
I finally got one hopefully I get to love it too
Thank you Liz! I’m going to get it when I move. And congrats on your addition! 💗💗💗
Awesome I love it. Your one of my favorite youtubers. You inspire me so much. I cant wait until my business picks up and I have more orders. Right now it feels like a hobby. But I know it's coming with time. Your videos keep me motivated.
P.S love your baby bump😍😍😍
No more doubt, gonna buy it now
It’s really amazing. I’ll wait until there’s more stainless accessories and a bowl. For that price I don’t want accessories that can break so easily Thank you for the video
I just bought a Kenwood. I haven't used it yet but I hope it will do a decent job.
I just bought one. I can’t wait to use it.
Congratulations!
So I wanted it right up until I read it has a dough hook, now I really want it!!!
Same here. On my wish list
youre so funny i like the way you desrcribe it, thankyou really helpful, i m on my way saving for buying bosch....
Can you do some more videos using this mixer?
Also the Mini Mixer looks really cool for smaller jobs. Have you thought about getting one of those? Love to see your videos with the Bosch Mini Mixer!!
Thank you so much!! I just got my Bosch and this video review is great 🙋♀️💖
I had a second hand kitchenaid and it was great. not good for dough but then you don't know what you're doing if you're using a KA for dough [IMO] unless its one of the top line models. Bosch seems to have borrowed a bit from Ankarsrum but not exactly resulting in a much sturdier power train power transfer mechanism. KA still looks beautiful in a kitchen and really good for cake/egg whites/turning chicken into strips quickly etc. I can get the Bosch direct from Germany right now for £256 inc delivery. its usually double that!
I've had my Bosch Universal (previous model) for about 20 years now and it's been flawless kneading 8 cups of bread dough once or twice a week. You will find that it doesn't knead 4 cups of flour or less very well as the dough tends to just move around the bowl because there isn't enough to catch on the hooks, so stick with 6 or more cups. I see you have the plastic hub for your whisks, mine came with a metal hub and that may be still available. There has always been a stainless dough bowl available, but it is strictly for dough as the hooks are built into the base. The other nice thing about the Bosch is that it weighs barely 11 pounds which means most people can easily lift it up and put it away if counter space is at a premium. Not quite as easy to do with conventional planetary mixers.
Great demonstration
The Ankarsrum is my new fav mixer after playing with my Bosch, I really think it would be better. Bosch needs to leave plastic attachments behind and provide stainless steel ones instead.
Can anyone help out answer these? Will Bosch do well with these small amt? Really appreciate you all sharing your experiences.
I only make small batches like
1) 2 loaves of bread
2) cream one stick of butter
3) whip 3 eggwhite
4) small amt of whip cream.
Bosch just released their new Optimum mixer and it's a need😍
Nice mixer. I already have the Kitchen Aid model, which works well enough for me, but I'd definitely consider this one if I were in the market.
Excellent review and I'm looking for one right now.
Good tutorial, And personality,you Did a great Job explaining how to operate and the do's and don't of the machine.🙂good job I'm going to Purchase me one thank you.
l do like the open top, but as a lazy chef l wonder whether it will fit in my dishwasher and whether the plastic attachments are dishwasher safe
debeeriz They are dishwasher safe
I imagine you could drill a hole in that splash guard where you want it.
You looked like you was having so much fun with this mixer LOL ;-) I have a Kenwood K-mix mixer which i absolutely love ( just starting my business) thanks for all your very helpful tutorials xx
I have this mixer and I use it to make pizza dough. This thing really kneads he dough well.
Wow. I love that thing! Wonder if there's a payment plan? Thankyou. PS $50 for the KA? Wow again. Lol.👻🎂
Yes was looking to get a bigger mixer!
I love, love, LOVE! my Bosch! it's the bomb. I'm glad that you like it to Liz!:)
The open top is about the only pro for me because I have to agree, stopping to lift the beater on the Kitchenaid to add certain ingredients is a pain. The average homemaker however, in my own opinion as one who bakes a lot is easily satisfied with the Kitchenaid mixer. Nice mixer though if one can afford it and bakes as you do. Thanks for the comparisons.
It was a great review, thanks.
I love to make bread, I would love to see a test with good very heavy batch of bread dough.
Enjoyed this episode!!
Can you mix swiss meringue buttercream in it. My kitchenaid just broke
I've had the Bosch for about 6 years. It's handy for larger batches of cookies, muffins, or for cake. It is lousy for bread doughs. It just doesn't have the correct kneading action necessary to develop the gluten properly. It tears instead of kneads. I bake 100-120 loaves of bread per week as a cottage micro baker. I use the Bosch for bar cookies. For bread, I have two Verimixer Teddy machines (and a 30qt Verimixer). The Teddy is excellent but costs 2.5 times the Bosch when new. Try Ebay.
I've been baking bread once or twice a week with my Bosch Universal and it kneads dough beautifully, no tearing. You must be doing something wrong.
I just knew Bosch has mixer 😅, now i want one 😁.
I enjoy all your videos and have learned a ton from you! I'm not even in the market for a mixer but, you're so entertaining and informative I decided to watch the whole thing.
ps: If you ever want to part with Oscar, I know where to find a good home for him. Peace be with you and yours.
Hello! I know my request is a year late, but I just now heard about this Bosch. Your review was geared towards very large batches. As an occasional home baker, I'd like a review on very small batches. I've heard the Kitchenaid doesn't mix small amounts very well. The Bosch video claims to do better. Thx!
Unfortunately they are out of stock. I am trying to support your channel because you are awesome. I want the bakers Package. I will try again next week
I love your videos. I also love that Bosch mixer and have been trying to find one. Impossible. Can you tell me where I can go to find the Bosch Universal Plus mixer please!!!
Thanks so much! Unfortunately I think they’re all out of stock 😭 but here is my affiliate link for when they have more! www.boschmixers.com/product/bosch-universal-plus-mixer/
Starts in 5 4 3 2 1 go.am I the only one who can't wait for the live show.my popcorn is finished already. Lol let's go Liz
Hi Eva!
You are so funny, so is Liz.
@@SugarGeekShow hi liz
Hey Liz, looking at the Bosch mixer as my next step to my homebaking business. Do you know if they still have the cake paddles or do you use the wire whisk to mix cake batter? Thank you and always love your channel.
Suggestion: Take advantage of the cover! Unwrap your cold butter and let it soften in the bowl. I HATE dealing with soft, wrapped butter.
Are those Magic Line pans?
I think you're going to have a cheerful baby!
I NEEEEEEEEEEDDDDD OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Welp I know what’s going on my Christmas/birthday/Mother’s Day gift!!!! 😂😂😂😂 thank you for the Review!
I’d be interested if I didn’t already own a Kenwood, which I’ve had for close to 30 years. Best by far over any Kitchen Aid and as strong as this, wattage wise. If I remember, mines a 700 watt, so a tad short of this one.
With all the attachments clicking into each other it looks like a lot of batter can get trapped between. The video didnt really show much of how you got the batter out. And with all the attachments it looks kind of hard to clean everything. Do you mind sharing your opinions on those aspects ?
I just run them under hot water to wash them or you can put them in the dishwasher
This looks interesting...was wondering does it have attachment options like pasta roller, grinder etc...???
Clairressa Goad yes it does, on the website
I wonder how the Bosch holds up when you make macarons or angel food cake, when you want to fold in flour how do you do it?
You can’t macaronage in a kitchenaid either. I don’t know of any way to do that besides by hand. That would be amazing!
What? You can macaronage in a kitchenaid despite the small indentation in the bottom
I've used both, and I like both. I don't think it's worth it if you're just a home baker that cooks for family and friend only. If you already have a kitchen ai, just stick with that
the 6qt kitchenmaid had a motor noise issue. that is corrected on the new 7qt version which is much quieter even than this bosch, even on speed 10
the new kitchen aid attachments are nylon coated metal that is dishwasher safe
Amy, perhaps a step backward might do you good.
Skip the universal plus, and try the old Universal.
It only has (and needs) two speeds. The 15 pound
Stainless Steel bowl comes with it. My mother got
hers, in the early '70's, and tried to destroy it. (I'm the
second of 7 kids.) 2 LARGE batches of whole wheat
bread a week. (We also git the Magic Mill, with the
Bosch.) Along side of cookies and Cinnamon Rolls.
I found an old Universal, with the SS bowl, at the local
Deseret Industries. They charged me the OUTRAGEOUS
amount of SIX WHOLE dollars!
steve
OMG I want this mixer! HOWEVER I have the huge 6quart KitchenAid that has only been used 3 times and of course the Artesian. Now question is how can I get this one???????🤔😊
Welp, I know what I'm asking Santa for! I love that it just comes with side scrapers, I have issues with incorporating ingredients that settle in the bottom of my Kitchenaid mixer bowl.
Totally!! That's definitely one of my favorite parts!~
