All in all, I feel like to have both mixers so I can use whatever is optimal for what I happen to be making. Am I doing something wrong, or is it just a matter of getting used to it? The 6 quart and larger sizes just won’t mix up regular sized recipes very well cause they just don’t fill the bowl well enough. I love my Bosch too… if only everyone could have both. Until reading your post I had never even seen a Bosch mixer! It’s a gorgeous mixer, yes, and seems like it quickly “became an American status symbol” very quickly. As you said, they both have their strong (and weak) points. Interesting comments, I’ve learned a lot. I am kind of wondering if it is the best of both worlds. Bosch uses the heat that accumulates inside the dishwasher during the wash cycle to dry the dishes. I can’t rave about the color bringing joy to my heart. I see that yours is Cuisinart. Use it a lot. I have a Kitchenaide I bought at Target with gift cards from my wedding 18 years ago. Loved its auto stop kneading feature, but I had a hard time with the middle staff. So I’ve ordered them from Amazon. It lasted me a good 3 years or so, but then it smoked and died. I live in Hawaii and wasn’t sure if the warmer climate means I NEED the heat dispelling properties of stainless steel bowl. The KitchenAid may be prettier, but it took up a lot of counter space and was too tall to store in a cupboard and very heavy to lug from my pantry everytime I needed it. Oh and don’t forget the attachments for the Kitchenaid. I used a hand mixer or made things by hand for several years. Also, it never seems to be free of oil, no matter how much I soap it or wipe with vinegar or lemon juice. Luckily my birthday happened to be right when I was reading this.

I want to make bread more and my lovely dependable KA just freaks out with all but the softest of bread doughs. I don’t ever worry about it falling off. I think I’m on my 4th set of cookie paddles and they are already broken, I’m just still using them because they will stay on once everything is in place and I don’t want to buy another set! I think once I can figure that out, I will like using it more for cookies because I really don’t love having to use a plastic scraper to get the dough off the side. Thanks for doing this post! I mix everything with it! It is lift head rather than There is also a scraper attachment for KitchenAid mixers. Mom had a Bosch that was heavily used for years and it was wonderful.

Thanks for the great review and helpful charts! I’m sad the motor is going out! I had been quite happy with it until that time. There are only 3 in my family. It has been running strong for over 5 more years. I also make cookies or small cakes at least weekly. All it takes is a brown sugar lump!!! And I must be a wierdo, but I hate making bread in a mixer to begin with. I do think that KitchenAid is a tad more user-friendly, but that may also be because I grew up using one, and it’s what I used to. That’s awesome. I think from too many double batches of chocolate chip cookies lol!”- Brittany, “I have decided that the perfect combination is the smaller (5qt) kitchen aid (it does a better job of incorporating ingredients than the professional model) and a Bosch.

I unfortunately gave away my original KA Classic. They are really popular in the West (Utah/Idaho) but when we lived in the Midwest, not many people knew about them either. The first time, I sent them back and got a new set, but I haven’t bothered with it again and just make cookies by hand. Selbstverständlich gibt es auch andere Meinungen, die tendenziell ein bisschen unzufrieden zu sein scheinen, aber unterm Strich sind die Rückmeldungen doch wohlwollend. I’ve come across a Swedish mixer that seems to be have the great qualities of the Bosch and KA. I love it for all of those things! The Bosch is shorter, so it may fit under low cupboards easier. First, the mixer bowl couldn’t really handle bread dough with even 12 cups of flour. Interesting what you said about your daughter’s Costco KA – I’ve experienced the SAME thing when making a large batch of whipped cream and a couple other things that needed longer whipping times. So when I was approached with the opportunity to try out a Bosch Universal Plus Mixer, I was excited to try it out. I haven’t had great luck with the shield, but MANY people are commenting that it helps, so I’ll keep trying! So.

Thanks for your comments, Jeni (although double oops to killing your in-laws KA!). . I bought a Bosch hand mixer 25 years ago and use it for eggs, cake mixes, frosting – small batches. Also love that it comes with a blender, because we don’t own one of those either. Once you get to know your bosch you will never want to part with it! I’ve found that the dough hook extender makes the Bosch able to knead smaller batches of bread. –Mixing tools not compatible with other models. I have owned/used both KitchenAid and Bosch mixers. I’m sorry about your KitchenAid burning up, Chelsea! Three generations of Kitchen Aide users. My husband bought me a kitchen aid mixer when we were first married.

For serious bread makers and avid bakers of many types, the Bosch is a strong contender. Not only are you a good cook, but you’re a gifted writer into the bargain. And I must say: my new KA does not compare to my Mother’s 40+ year old KA, and I suspect that it has to do with the fact that the original KA’s had Hobart motors. The frosting was thick. Memories are so powerful! My husband came home to find me wrestling with it on the floor banging the bowl handle with a rubber mallet and using language from Saxon times while trying to watch a YouTube video on the iPad beside me.

The tilt head makes life easier and the paddle attachment is great for biscuit/cookie recipes; I don’t mind a bit of scraping. I have had a Compact for probably 8 years and I love it! My KA gets used daily, but my bosch only gets pulled out for big batches of bread and cookie dough. Due to limited counter space, I moved it off the counter two years ago and haven’t used it since. I have some very specific complaints about the Bosch, but I’m not sure the KitchenAid won’t have other equally significant problems.

It’s all about the 5qt one. The Bosch is a lot harder to clean, but things mix so much better, it never overheats, and my bread dough especially turns out sooooo much better. The secret I’ve learned is to add the flour very gradually for small batches of bread in the Bosch, otherwise, you’re left with dry patches as the dough just spins aimlessly in the mixer unable to incorporate all the ingredients. It came with all of the attachments for way less than the Bosch. http://www.kenwoodworld.com/en-us/products/kitchen-machines/chef-and-major is the Kenwood site and specifically the models I am looking at.

Hi Brianne – I kind of hate the shield for the KA, too. Too heavy and tall. I LOVE my Bosch! Love it! Disclaimer: this is an unsponsored post (i.e. Love it! My 12 year old kitchenaid just burned up on some whole wheat bread (another $1 for you) so I decided to try the Bosch since I use the mixer mostly for bread and the occasional cookies/cakes/frosting. Your information has helped me decide to spend a little more on the Bosch because it really seems more suited to my bread making.. Sunbeam was my starter also, Helen! I currently have semi broken cookie paddles where only one of the two rotates as they spin around the bowl, but cannot decide if I should spend another $20 on cookie paddles that are of such a poor design. There’s obviously a reason for that, so heed the warnings. Then when I attach the bowl to the base, it pops the beaters/hook back off.

I enjoyed reading your post. (I finished the dough by hand today, but this dough really needs to be done by machine because of the specialty flour.) About seven years ago I went for well over a year without any mixer and continued to bake regularly. It’s currently in storage as were military overseas. Hey Mel, I would love to have a Bosch for bigger recipes since I have 6 kids and all my recipes are doubled or tripled to feed my crew. Mine has a 7 quart bowl but the flour will fly out if you make too big of a batch. Somehow the Bosch just seems like a bigger chore to use. Since I learned to bake and cook, in Home Economics class as a teen-ager… and my mom giving some lessons too, I’ve used only an electric hand mixer or good old elbow grease to mix cookie dough, cake batter, frostings, merinque and whipped cream, but I’ve been getting into making breads lately, because I’m tired of spending $3 – 4 dollars for a loaf of bread. I didn’t bring it this time because I didn’t want to put it through the strain of a transformer, and I knew there was a stand mixer here with the right wiring for the New Zealand electrical current.
