Would this be a good mixer for a Bakery

Hi Nora. It is a good mixer for a small bakery. If you are starting out in your home etc yes it is. If you are a commercial bakery it is best to go larger.

It is good for low volume. The only issue we have had is the safety switch broke. I think it was just not designed for the volume we use it.

This a great product for heavy use. I cannot speak to how well it would perform in a heavy commercial application. My wife does a lot of home baking and it has performed very well for that application. We have had no trouble with it at all. She really loves it.

I use it for cakes, muffins, pancakes, cookies, brownies, quick breads, etc. with great success. I do not like the results for yeasted breads or for pastry doughs (pie crust, etc.) very much though - I would stick to bread flour or all purpose flour for those.

I don't think so. You should buy a stand mixer for bread dough. We do sell them and have refurbished ones for about 200 dollars on our amazon store. thank you

Found the mixer to work great w/cookie dough but it may struggle some w/heavy bread dough. Love the product. JP Jr.

I'd say yes, though I would think if you are going to have a milkshake business you would need a commercial grade mixer due to how many times a day you are going to make a shake but it is heavy duty and all metal. It is very nice quality and worth the money.

I got this mixer recently and it is really good. I use it twice a week to grind rice and dhal, it runs smooth with no issues.

I think it is. Unless you have a lot of counter space or bake a lot and need a large quantity of flour. It has about the same footprint as a food processor or coffee maker.

I would say yes. And more difficult to handle. We purchased this for baking bread, and we did not see one bit of difference.

Hi Crystal-I have only used this mixer to make cream cheese frosting. It does well on the mixing part but beware that if you put too much powdered sugar in at once it will POOF out of the openings (there is a small space between the bowl and the splatter guard). I made a cake in it last night. I am very happy with this mixer. I use it to make my own bread. It is not a strong enough or big enough mixer to make a 3 loaf recipe.

I combined it with molasses and it worked well. I also used a bowl mixer due to the volume I used. It is too thick for a beater mixer.

I recently acquired my mixer and it is really good. It is completely different from other regular mixers. Yes you can do pizza dough easily and tougther doughs. You will love this machine.

from what I have learned it is probably not strong enough to make bread. So we never used the dough hooks. The beaters work just fine. Do not try a double though as you will be cleaning it off of the walls as the mixer able to mix it but the bowl is not large enough to hold more than one cake mixture.

I usually use mine to mix cookie dough or batter for pastries. I mixed a cinnamon roll type dough with it, and there were no problems. I like mine very much - and pleased with the overall quality. I'm not a professional baker, so I didn't think a $300 stand mixer was worth my time...which is why this appealed to me. I don't like the pouring shield though - it got in the way, so I just removed it.

I finally did use this mixer to knead the dough and it worked very well. I used it for a two loaf recipe and was very pleased with it. I have not tried it yet for more then this but I know it would work well with the dry ingredients and may be fine with adding the liquids but might be too much for bigger then the normal two loaf recipes. For a hand mixer, this one is powerful and easy to handle and it is also easy to change the speed settings while in use.

It can. But even the low speed on this thing is far too fast. Unless you want to be covered in flour, you should whisk the batter first by hand till it's just incorporated, and then a few seconds with the machine to get the lumps out. Because it's so fast/powerful, you have to be careful you don't over-mix the cake which could make the resulting cake tough.

yes. it is a very good to use. all my cakes and sweet breads come out not sticking. good for vegetarians

I wouldn't recommend it for heavy doughs. I would use the Kitchen Aid stand mixer for that.
