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!

More Powerful: The motor is the heart of the machine, and Bosch Universal Mixer's motors is bigger. While other brands use only 300-525 watt motors, the Universal's is 700 watts! And even MORE important is the high-efficiency Bosch transmission that transfers more torque to the job. The gears of lesser mixers are stripped by loads of heavy dough, but Bosch Universal SHINES when the going gets tough!

Most Useful: Comes with great standard equipment, and no other kitchen system touches Bosch for available accessories. 'No One Does It All Like BOSCH' is more than a slogan, it's a fact. (All Bosch Universal accessories are displayed further down this page.) Bosch is the premier bread maker, mixer and blender.

Compact: Incorporating so many features and options in one well-integrated design produces the most efficient kitchen system. Eliminating inferior, limited-function machines makes more room in your kitchen & more space on your countertop. Base unit is 9" deep by 13" wide, and is only 10" high with bowl mounted — so it fits easily under cupboards, and petite cooks can easily see over the unobstructed, low-profile bowl to see just what's going on. Weight with bowl and dough hook is 12.5 lbs.

Great Capacity Range: Six 2 lb. bread loaves can be made in a batch, yet the Bosch whisks will pick up the smallest quantities thanks to the bowl's tubular bottom profile. The Bosch Mixer's 5- quart bowl is made of super-tough Makrilon and will hold up to 20 cups of dry ingredients plus 8+ cups liquid ingredients. (You may see the bowl called "6-quart"... its "air volume" is 6 quarts, and practical working volume is 5 quarts. We evaluate all mixers by real-life working capacity because we don't think air is what you want to mix!)

Warranty: 3 years on motor and transmission, 1 year on other parts.

Long Life: The Bosch transmission's 20-year failure rate is less than 1%!

Included Standard:

• Patented Bosch dough hooks for better kneading action, better bread.
• Makrilon 5 Qt. bowl holds up to 12 pounds of dough, has splash ring and lid.
• French whips: Triple action turns a single egg white into 1.5 cups meringue!
• Blender, 6 cup: Snows ice, cracks grains, purees fruits and vegetables perfectly.
• Accepts all Bosch Universal System accessories (Displayed lower on this page)

The Original Style Stainless Steel Bowl for the Bosch Universal Mixer has a 14 lb. dough capacity. The dough hook drives from the bottom of the bowl. This bowl comes with its own dough hook, which does an outstanding job of kneading. This stainless bowl also includes splash ring and center cover, not shown. Fits on the Bosch Universal Mixer's low speed drive (the same place the standard plastic bowl mounts.) Whips, whisks and cookie paddles cannot be used with this bowl because it's built without the center drive column. The bottom drive shaft pops out of its socket with a smack from the palm of your hand, for easy cleaning. Putting a drop of vegetable oil on the O-rings after washing will make them last a long time. Note: To use this bowl on the newer Universal Plus, you'll need to use some small rubber bumpers to prevent wobble (see here.)

The Food and Meat Grinder Attachment for the Bosch mixer grinds and minces meats, stuffings, and virtually all foods. Comes with a 4.5 mm disk for general use; other sizes (listed further down on this page) are available to achieve any desired consistency The Universal is turned onto rear-mounted rubber feet, as shown, to operate the grinder. We've tested the Universal meat grinder side by side with a wide selection of competitive stand-alone meat grinders on the market, and the performance of the Universal unit towered over the rest. It really cranks out meat and other foods. For the best ground meat texture and easiest grinding, chill meats almost to freezing before grinding.

NOTE: Since the introduction of the newer "Universal Plus" mixer, the meat grinder comes packaged with a support leg sized for the new Universal Plus mixer. If you have an older style mixer that looks like the photo at left, the included leg will NOT work for you (it's too long) so you need to ALSO order the "shorter leg" listed below.

Dies to make 11 different shapes of pasta. Metal pasta dies fit the Bosch Universal meat grinder as shown. Dies include linguini, angel hair, macaroni, spaghetti, thin spaghetti, wide noodle, rigatoni, spiral, pasta shell, jumbo pasta shell, and lasagne. This is an "extruder type" pasta maker. Bosch doesn't include recipes; we do include two starter recipes with the disk set, but if you're new to pasta making, we very strongly recommend Donna German's book, The Pasta Machine Cookbook. It's a real bargain for the new pasta chef, with over 100 pasta recipes and great beginner instructions.

Conveniently turn soft grains like oats into flakes for recipes and fresh cereals. Fellow Nebraskan Randy Watterman sent us these comments about his flaker: "Had our first batch this morning... it was wonderful! The flaker worked great and made a family sized amount of oatmeal in no time at all. The taste and texture was better than any already-rolled oats we've purchased in the past. Thanks again!" Unlike commercially-flaked oats that are paper-thin (and consequently mushy) this flaker will turn oat groats into thicker, chewier nuggets. And as Randy found, fresh is incomparably better, both in taste and nutrition, than hyper-processed commercial alternatives. Oat groats are oats with the hulls removed, and they're available from health food stores and food cooperatives (see links here for connecting with a regional food cooperative in your area.)

Great New Bosch Mixer Accessory: Bosch recommends using the wire whips and batter whisks (which are shown below) for pourable batters. Heavier cookie batters can be mixed with your Universal dough hook, but now you have the ideal option: The new cookie paddles for the Bosch Universal mixer, manufactured by the U.S. Bosch importer! These drop onto the Universal Classic mixer's drive shaft with the metal drive piece that came with your Universal Classic mixer (the oval-cone shaped part in the lower photo at left.) Warranted against defect by the manufacturer for 5 years. This is a very useful accessory, highly recommended! (NOTE: If you have the newer "Universal Plus" model of mixer with the white colored whip drive, you will need the paddle set that's packaged with a metal drive to use them on. You can see that package here.)

"Quantity 1" for this items means one pair of paddles only. The metal whip drive is not included with the paddles in this set.

Whips and Whisks
for Bosch Mixer

Pleasant Hill Grain is a Member of the Better Business Bureau

Pleasant Hill Grain accepts Visa, MC, Discover, Checks & Money Orders

Wire Whips (DB3) come standard with the Bosch Mixer. (Upper pair at left.)
Batter Whisks (DB2) have different spacing for thicker (but still pourable) batters. (Lower pair at left.)

Tip: Bosch recommends using the wire whips and batter whisks for pourable batters. The batter whisks (DB2's) are a bit stronger than the wire whips for "heavier pourable" batters. For cookie batter, the best choice by far is the new Cookie Paddle accessory (shown just above.) For maximum whipping action in lighter foods, the original DB3 wire whip is certainly the best tool. Wire whips and batter whisks are not warranted because the Bosch mixer is easily powerful enough to bend them to smithereens if they're used in heavy batters.

This MX2 model of blender fits the "Classic" model of Bosch mixer. You can buy the complete blender here, or you can find individual parts here. If you have one of these older style blenders, here's a tip: The blender lid doubles as a handy "wrench" that makes removal and replacement of the blade assembly fast & easy, but remember that rather than unscrewing all the way, you just give it a quarter-turn, then it pulls straight out easily.

Dough Glide: This little fish-shaped accessory serves a few different purposes. If you want to use the Dough Divider (listed below), you'll need a Dough Glide. Some people also find they sometimes get a little dough down the bowl's drive column when mixing large batches of particular recipes, and the Dough Glide will eliminate that. Generally this isn't an issue, and since the drive shaft removes quickly from the underside of the Universal Plus bowl, cleanout is easy anyway. Probably the most common reason to use one of these is that with some recipes, dough that gets between the top of the column and the bottom of the dough hook hub can blacken, and that's prevented with the Dough Glide. (NOTE: It's important to remember that the Dough Glide must be removed before using the wire whips, the batter whisks or the cookie paddles because it would interfere with engagement of the whip-drive gears.)

Dough Divider: This accessory consists of a sleeve that drops down over the center column of the Bosch Universal and has two fins protruding about 1-3/4" to either side. It's used in conjunction with the dough hook (which is not shown in the image.) Theoretically its purpose is to improve mixing and/or kneading of small dough batches. In practice, we consider it a solution in search of a problem because the Universal does an excellent job with small dough batches (as well as large), and we've been able to see no real change with the dough divider in place. Occasionally someone asks about the Dough Divider, and they're available if you'd like one. ALSO please note that to use the Dough Divider, you will need a Dough Glide (available just above.) Click here if you'd like to see more photos and explanation of how both work.

Fresh baked bread is always a taste treat! But what about nutrition? Whole grain flour has truly fabulous nutritional value when it's freshly milled, but nutrient values plunge just a few days after milling. What's more, mass marketers remove the most nutritious parts from the grain in favor of long-term (nutritionless) shelf life. "Refined" white flour is a marvel of marketing efficiency, and its nutritional value is roughly on a par with marshmallows. When you consider that your body becomes what you eat, this is a serious problem. Fortunately a great solution is available. By milling whole grains in your kitchen you can have the freshest, best tasting baked goods that are fully loaded with the nutrients our bodies need for wellness and vitality. Pleasant Hill Grain offers the best grain mills on the market and you can see them here.
