- This is a 10QT spiral mixer made by Alpha AVS-10T.
So far it's been amazing, can not be more happier! Just listen on how quiet it is, it's crazy! It has digital control panel, quiet DC motor, all pulleys driven by belts, which adds extremely quite operation. Love it so far!

I want to love this mixer and purchase but really am not sure if it's quite right for making pizza dough. I'm not sure if the hook is maybe shaped a bit different or the bar is too far away from the hook but it seems like the dough gets wrapped around the hook too much like my loathed KA mixer! After seeing Famag and the KYS Pro Baker I'm just not sure this is right for me. I really like the idea of it with the tilt head but maybe the extra cleanup time is a better idea in the long run with the KYS 7+ at a similar price point?
I'm not an expert but see what suits you best. Small amounts won't be able to mix. I use KA for that. Only bigger batches I mix in the mixer. So far I had no issues at all and I love it
In your video the dough didn’t take on the “pumpkin appearance” that the other spiral mixers seem to all have. Was this a function of the type of enriched dough you mixed? Have you mixed lean dough with it, and does the dough develop the classic pumpkin appearance?
Yes it does. I just haven't mixed it long enough. It takes about 10min to get that perfect pumpkin.
I've owned two spiral mixers an d that hook looks more like a D hook than a spiral.
That is nice and quiet! I am looking at this unit for home use pizza dough....can't find anything smaller unless you go to italy which is big bucks. My standard batch is 4-5kg of dough, do you think it would be overkill?
No, it will be fine, actually even perfect! The smallest I mixed was 4 breads which one loaf is about 670g, total about ~2.6kg and it's just fine. I've never tried 3 loafs or less, because I use kitchen aid for smaller batches. So far I've mixed bread, meat for sausages, meat for salami and it does outstanding job! It's so quiet, soft starting and soft stop. Has clear large screen, timer and 10 different speeds. I love it! I had a little bowl locking issue so I might have to do some diy on it
Thanks for the throughs@@westcoastcharcuterie
@@westcoastcharcuterie This think rocks!! I love it and look forward to mixing now. I hated the planetary process with a passion. I love the lock in bowl and how heavy and silent it is. Thanks for your recommendation.
@@ChuckTatham haha, glad to hear! Same here, when I turned it on for the first time it just blew my mind how quiet it was!
Where did you purchase your mixer. I'm in the US and can only find it in Canada.
They do sell this in Canada, it's their own product, but as far as I know they already should be shipping to usa too. Give them a call or email them. They sent me the mixer from Toronto all the way to Vancouver, for only $100~

Quietest mixer with the loudest beep. 😂
Haha it beeps loud for sure! To be honest I don't mind few seconds of loud beep then 10minutes of tractor noise in the kitchen, lol. You can also disconnect the beeper or tape it up to make it more quiet, but it never bothered me to be honest.
I am contemplating about getting this mixer (versus Kys). Is it possible to turn off the beeping sound when the machine ends the cycle? I actually find it annoying.
It's been great and honestly that beeping sound only beeps when it's done and that's it. Specially once you set it and get on with your other things it helps to notify when it's ready. I'm sure you can disconnect the buzzer wire unless it's welded into the board, then maybe tape it over to make it more quiet. I never had an issue tbh.
@@westcoastcharcuterie So you are still happy with the mixer after 8 months of ownership, right? No problem at all? Thanks
@@raminolta so far very happy! I had an issue with bowl locking, but they offered me to send it back and maybe replace new machine, but I said I'll keep the machine and just going to make my own extra lock. As far as I heard other people don't have this issue. But like I said company is nice, they offered full replacement or refund at no costs!
Today I will be actually making some sausages, gonna make a video again too, see how it mixes and how well
Hello, I’m considering this Alpha mixer or a 20qt without the tilting head. How has it performed for you overall? Have you tried low hydration bagel dough in it? Any issues? Thanks.
Hey! I actually was going to do bagels tomorrow haha, first time for that dough. I'm sure it will be fine and to be honest their customer service was great so far, they said if you have any issues you can return the mixer free of charge and for full refund! So far I mixed meat making into paste for sausages which worked amazing and I baked bread many times around 65% HR and never had an issue with a motor or anything else. I will try make some bagels tomorrow if I get a chance. Keep in mind this 10qt mixer probably will not mix less then 2kg, because it's just not enough dough. My smallest batch of bread I did is about 2.6kg
Thanks for the prompt reply! Do you know where this mixer is manufactured? Haven’t been able to find the Alpha company website. Phoenix food equip seems to be the only place its available. I operate a micro bakery hoping to use it for sourdoughs as well as panettone.
@@simonf4631 it's made in China, but it's actually Phoenix Food Equipment brand "Alpha". I believe they buy boards, parts from different manufacturers. Then they design and build their own products under their "Alpha Food Equipment" name, that is why you can't find any manufacture. I will try bagels tonight, maybe I'll shoot a quick video too. That is one of the toughest doughs. Biggest batch I mixed was dough for bread and I made 8 loafs@670g, just could not make more, because of my small home oven, but it handled without any issues at all. It has DC motor, which makes it ultra quiet and super durable machine. I'll try make a bagel dough today if I get a chance, will shoot a quick video
Just got one. Get it if you need a spiral mixer. Monster and silent!
Seems like it’s on the heavy side (90lbs) Can you lift it onto your work surface or do you leave it in one spot?
My question is...where is this mixer made? Italy?
No this is not Italian brand. Most likely chinese, like most of the things.. So far, knock on wood, but what a machine, I absolutely love it!
where is this mixer made ?
Made in China
Can you get parts for this mixer?
Yes, parts come directly from Phoenix food supply in Toronto. That is where I purchased this mixer and it's their own brand line. They probably started shipping to USA too now, not 100% sure on that, but in Canada is easy to get. Tbh I opened it up and there si not much to it. The tilting head is full re-enforced steel, which is not moving at all when mixing. This thing is full commercial grade, so it's not like Famag or other brands, this is heavy duty work horse and it weights a ton
I ordered the avs 10 with no tilt its for home use in my case, so I figured I can clean it on the spot, I'm retired so a new toy for me, thanks you for your prompt reply, will be following you 👍
@@natalinopascuzzo8345 Ohh sweet, great! I use it for home too. Making sausages, breas, bagels. You will love it just how quiet it is and how nicely it and runs!
I tried it a few times already ,it's amazing,I bought from Phoenix also
@@natalinopascuzzo8345 yep, I got mine there too. So far it's been great machine!
Where do you buy this?
Phoenix food equipment, toronto
Ridiculously overpriced, between $2500 and $2700. Only available through one distributor who has an exclusive on sales in the USA. Gouging? Absolutely. Better and less expensive spiral mixers made in Italy, can be found all over. Trust me, the spiral mixers made in Italy are the best, built like tanks, they never die.
Sorry to hear, but I've paid $1,300 door to door for the service when Famag was almost double that price and so far I've been quite happy with the mixed, what ever I used it to mix dough for bread or for bagels or even meat it did just fine so for $1300cad I will take that deal any time and it's commercial mixer, not home style mixer, all the parts are solid steel and heavy duty. Like I said in my case is the best price/product/quality option 🙂
Interesting. The Alpha appears a lot cheaper in the US from what I can gather. Maybe things have changed?
@westcoastcharcuterie I like this mixer. It's $750 for 10 and $900 for the 10T. "T", meaning tilting head. I think it's a great price for either one of them. So the only difference separating the 2 in price is the tilting head with removable bowl? I looked at the specs on both of them and it looks the same except for that.
I was also looking at Vito Iacopelli's Authentico mixer from Italy and it's $995, no tilting head , you can't remove the bowl and its 7.5 quarts.... I can get the Alpha 10 for under $1,000 with shipping and tax here in Calif. $300 cheaper than Vito's.
Another question, they say if you use your mixer alot to get the non tilting head because of wear and tear. Have you heard of this?
@@alge3399 sorry but I'm not some mixer guru haha. I use this mixer by all means, I can make 12 bagels at the time, that is how many I can fit in my oven and I did biggest load 8 loafs of bread, which I had no issues at all. This tilting head mixer I think it will last a lifetime. It is super thick steel, heavy duty commercial grade so I'm sure you will not experience issues with that. To be honest I would probably go with tilting head mixer any time of the day specially for home use. It is huuuuge difference when it comes to cleaning and removing bowl it's absolutely a breeze.. That was my main thing why I chose tilting mixer. I use it 1-2 times a week, sometimes 3 times, mixing bread, bagels and even meat for sausages. Never failed me
@@westcoastcharcuterie can you do a video on the bagels with the mixer?
Quiet because it's really slow.
It's not slow. It's quiet because of DC motor and it's belt driven
