.Every
Kitchen Equipment maker claims to have
the best machine, and that can make the selection process difficult until
you discover the Bosch Mixer. Because the claims made for Bosch mixers are backed
by engineering realities the others can't match.
The Bosch Mixer has More
Power: For starters, the Bosch Mixer has a 700 watt motor. Our biggest competitor (the sales-volume
leader) calls their strongest model the "Professional." Its motor is
only 525 watts. Universal's motor is more than 1.3X stronger than their
best. Power to mix better and last longer. The Bosch Mixer has a Stronger
Transmission: Even more important than
the motor is the transmission, which converts motor power into work.
Our mass-marketing competitors build transmissions with inexpensive
spur gears. The first shortcoming of spur gears is that they break under
stress. Stress is a bowl full of bread dough or a triple batch of oatmeal
chocolate chip cookies. Things you need your mixer to handle.
Buyers tell us frequently that they're getting a Bosch Mixer now because
their other mixer, often brand new, failed.
The Bosch Mixer is More
Efficient: The second major problem
with spur gears is that even before they break, they transmit torque
poorly. Torque is the ability to exert power at low turning speed —
exactly what's required of a good mixer. The Universal's competition
starts with a much smaller motor, then spends a big share of it on friction.
Which is why many big mixers have surprisingly little
oomph.
The
Bosch Belt: Universal's transmission
uses a belt drive design so strong that fewer than 1% have failed within
twenty years. And that's twenty years of heavier work than most mixers
ever see, because the Universal's reputation as a workhorse causes it to
be purchased by a higher percentage of cooks who place high demands
on their equipment. The belt drive of the Bosch Mixer also prevents motor failures from
the heat that develops in the cramped gear enclosures of overhead drive
machines, a major cause of "mixer meltdown" in other machines.
Bosch Mixer: Better
Design for Better Bread, Extreme Versatility
|
The
Total Kitchen Center: The
Bosch Mixer is a complete kitchen center — the world's premier
mixer, bread maker and blender in one outstanding machine. Available
attachments extend its range of abilities to include food processing,
grinding and more.
Better Gluten Development: The Bosch Universal Mixer
has achieved its dedicated following among bread lovers not only because
it lasts, but also because it produces. It makes better bread,
faster and easier, because no one else has the patented three-arm stainless
steel BreadMaster dough hook design plus the strength to run it in up
to 12 lbs. of tough dough. The BreadMaster dough hook vigorously incorporates
oxygen as its unique design stretches and folds dough against itself,
processing 100% of your dough every four rotations around the bowl.
By comparison, other mixers merely stir the dough, never achieving the
Bosch's level of gluten development. Proper gluten development produces
light bread with great texture. Merely stirring the dough produces brick
bread. Bread from the powerful Bosch Mixer needs to rise only once
before baking, letting you make six loaves of fabulous fresh bread and
have them out of the oven in just 80 minutes!
Mixing:
Besides kneading dough, of course,
you do want your mixer to mix, too —
and the Bosch Universal's mixing action is unexcelled.
The bowl has a "tubular" bottom profile like a deep bundt cake form.
Twin whips mount on top of the narrow center column, driven from below
by a stainless steel drive shaft. The whips spin rapidly as they rotate,
and the whip drive design allows the whips to "float" against the bottom of the bowl. The bowl's "bundt cake shape" bottom profile ensures that every bit of your ingredients
get mixed. The Bosch Mixer's whipping action is so energetic it will make a cup and a half
of meringue from a single egg white.
Access
and Stability: The Bosch Universal's bottom-drive
configuration gives you total access to the top of the bowl. It also
provides great no-tip stability through a low center of gravity rather
than by adding a ton of weight to the base —
weight you have to deal with every time you move
the machine. One of our Bosch customers saw the light when her top-drive
mixer fell off the counter and damaged not just her linoleum, but her
subflooring too!
World-Class
Blender: In addition to offering the
finest bread kneading and mixing capabilities, your Bosch Universal
Mixer also comes with an outstanding blender. Its 6-cup Lexan polycarbonate
bowl is so strong it will snow ice cubes all day long. Chopping and
pureeing are done to perfection at up to 13,000 RPM's. A built-in lid
funnel lets you add liquid ingredients without stopping or removing
the lid.
The blender locks onto the Bosch mixer base, so it can't be bumped off
during use.
Optional
Accessories: Further down this page
you can see the wide range of optional equipment that demonstrates the
axiom, "No One Does It All Like BOSCH!" From food processing to making
pasta, the Bosch Universal gives you the tools to do the job right.
Quiet:
Whether
you're in the kitchen for an hour or a day, it's very nice to have quiet
running machines, and the Bosch mixer runs at about half the sound level
of competitive kitchen mixers, because the belt on the Bosch mixer naturally turns quietly compared to breakage-prone gears.
The Warranty is Proof: The Bosch
mixer warranty backs up the claim that this is a better machine. The
Bosch mixer motor and transmission are guaranteed for 3 full years!
To get equal warranty coverage from the competition, you'd have to buy
three of their mixers.
Bosch
has produced over 240 technical and design innovations
since the introduction of their first mixer in the 1950's. The fruits
of this constant dedication to excellence show in today's superior Bosch
Universal Mixer. Pleasant Hill Grain's low prices make it easy to put
this mixer to work in your kitchen. Save money, time and labor
while you enjoy creating foods brimming with fresh flavor and nutrition
for yourself and your family, with the Universal model of Bosch mixer!
