8.4QT Commercial Stand Mixer 800W with NSF Certified and Aluminum Die Casting, Mixers Kitchen Electric Stand Mixer Metal Food Mixer with Stainless Steel 8L Bowl, Dough Hook, Whisk and Beater

I have had this mixer for a little over 3 weeks, and being an experienced cook & baker, I have to say I am impressed! I got this mixer based on the reviews as well as the spec sheet criteria. I would say unequivocally that this IS NOT a mixer for beginning cooks or inexperienced bakers. This is a heavy duty mixer. I make loaves of bread and dinner rolls, so I need to let the mixer do the kneading of the dough to save my hands/wrists (arthritis). The Kitchen Aid 600 Pro series did great until it started spitting black grease into my dough or batter. Plus it was crazy loud right out of the box. Certainly not one of Kitchen Aid’s finest mixers for the long haul. With that said, this new mixer has exceeded my expectations! I will try to cover the Pros and Cons in this review.PROS:It has a direct drive motor that equals a little over 3/4 hp and is so quiet - even when running on its highest speed! It exceeds the motors on both Kitchen Aid and Ankarsrum high end mixers.It has a light that shines INSIDE THE BOWL of the mixer. Ingenious! You can easily see what’s going on inside the mixer bowl. This is a huge plus. Are you taking notes, Kitchen Aid?It runs super quiet - only 42 db on highest speed (same as a quiet dishwasher) and this is great for our open floor plan house, where our kitchen backs up to the great room. A loud mixer causes my husband to not be able to hear the TV. With this mixer its not an issue!It kneads stiff bread dough without bogging down the motor, and can handle large amounts of dough, too. Just stay within the stated batter limits set in the instruction manual.Double handled SS mixer bowl is a plus over Kitchen Aid’s one handled bowl. The double handles make it easier to use, easier to maneuver about, safer to use without dropping it.Has a digital readout that lets you see exactly how long you’ve been mixing or how much longer you need to keep mixing for recipes that say “mix for 2 min”, etc. You can set the timer for two minutes and walk away to do something else and the mixer will stop automatically at 2 min. Also has a pause feature.The lock keeps the tilthead in the down position and stays locked - no bobbing up & down while mixing - and it keeps the tilthead in the lifted position until you put it back down. I can appreciate this feature.Has a designated handle on the front of the tilthead for ease in lifting or lowering the tilthead as you desire. A nice feature, actually.It is less than half the price of a higher end Kitchen Aid or the Ankarsrum - and it has a more powerful motor than either one by spec sheet comparison. It is also listed as running quieter than the above mixers per user reviews. I can attest that it is markedly quieter than my previous Kitchen Aid 600 Pro series mixer.CONS:This is a direct motor with a little over 3/4 hp. With this kind of power it also means you need to use extra caution while using it - and NEVER carelessly reach into the mixer bowl with this thing running. Running a spatula around the bowl with the mixer running isn’t a good idea either. You can get away with that on other stand mixers - but I wouldn’t advise doing it with this one. The motor is powerful enough to warrant a trip to the E.R. for those who decide not to listen and try it anyway. Just FYI.Please - Do not allow kids to operate this mixer unsupervised.It says that it has a metal housing - but the top part of the tilthead is made of hard plastic. ??? I wouldn’t call that a metal housing - as it is partially plastic. Will this plastic darken or stain over time? I don’t know. Guess I’ll find out the answer to that a few years down the road.Only available in one color - and that is cream. Not a “deal breaker” for me - but for others, it might be.It doesn’t have an optional glass mixer bowl for purchase. I did love the glass bowl of my Kitchen Aid 600 Pro series because you could easily see if your ingredients were mixed or if a spatula needed to be run around the bowl.

I just received my mixer today and it included the scraper paddle! I then proceeded to make a batch of bread/pizza dough with bread flour including a poolish for a grand total of 70% hydration and no scraping was necessary. It did the job peacefully on speed one in 11 minutes and the dough was cool and very elastic. I had briefly ran it at speed two and the mixer head moved around a little but I think that was because I used ice cold water. This machine doesn't seem to affect the temperature of the ingredients like most planetary mixers.

At first, the mixer arrived with a defect — it wouldn’t power on. I was disappointed, but I reached out to the seller and they responded quickly and sent a replacement without hassle.The new unit works perfectly! It’s powerful, quiet for its size, and handles large batches of dough and batter with ease. The 8.4QT bowl is great for big recipes, and the attachments are sturdy and easy to clean. I’ve used it for bread, cakes, and even pizza dough — it performs like a pro.Mistakes can happen, but the way they handled it made all the difference. Great product and great service!

I love this mixer! I bought it mostly for making bread. My Kitchenaid just couldn't handle bread dough. This one sure can! It is a workhorse and is the quietest mixer I've ever used. If you need something heavy duty this is the one you want.

This is an amazing mixer, can handle sourdough bread, double and triple batches of my TitasSweets delicious cookies. I run a small Etsy shop and this machine is a great buy for a small baking business. Very sturdy! Soooo quiet!! I highly recommend l! Color is fabulous! Speed is perfect for every batch!

A mi esposa le encanto trabaja muy bien

THE GOOD - This mixer is a beast, strong, quiet and very will built. The attachments are of the best quality, the only item you might find hard to acquire would be a "scraper beater", I found an after market on-line. as Zacme was all out, and could not assure availability in the future.THE BAD - This may not be a deal breaker for you, but I found it very annoying. The LED control display could of been designed more user friendly. The first time you set up the mixing mode and speed isn't that big of a Deal. the problem is every time you lift the head to scrape down the batter stuck to the inside of the bowl (and you have to lift the head to scrape) you then have to start the start-up menu all over again to resume mixing. There is a "pause button" for this, but it only works if you do not lift the head to scrape. Who ever designed these controls has never used a stand mixer. I have not received my scraper beater yet, I'm hoping the scraper beater will solve most of this problem. I would recommend this mixer to anyone who is planning to order the scraper beater to have your bowl automatically scraped as you mix, but you might want to make sure the scraper beater is available before ordering, or you will be frustrated.

I am extremely happy with this stand mixer!The design is sleek and modern, and it looks absolutely beautiful sitting on my kitchen counter. The motor is strong yet surprisingly quiet, and it handles both bread dough and cake batters with ease.The large 8.4QT stainless steel bowl is perfect for making big batches, whether it’s bread, buns, or pastry dough. It’s very stable during operation and easy to clean afterward.Customer service was also excellent—friendly, responsive, and generous. They truly care about their customers.Highly recommend this mixer to anyone who loves baking! It’s definitely a 5-star product in both quality and service!
