What to know about Bosch Universal Plus with Stainless Steel Bowl + NutriMill Dough Hook Extender Bundle (Black)

A bottom-drive, open-center mixer with a 6.5-quart bowl, rated for 14 lb of dough; this black bundle comes with a stainless steel bowl. ATK found it quickly kneaded stiff bagel dough and double batches of high-hydration pizza dough, and it whipped egg whites to stiff peaks in under 2 minutes. It is for big-batch and whole-grain bread bakers.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

ATK (Recommended) said it did a good job of quickly kneading both stiff bagel bread dough and double batches of high-hydration pizza dough. It also whipped egg whites to stiff peaks in under 2 minutes. Pulling Curls, which used review units, made four loaves per batch and called the motor a workhorse.

The stainless bowl in this bundle means no plastic bowl touches the dough. Warranty is 3 years on the motor and transmission and 1 year on parts, according to Abt.

What to know

Skip it if you mostly make one loaf at a time. Pulling Curls found it weaker on small batches. Attachment swaps are slow, and it is loud at high speed. Bundle contents and listings vary by seller, so check which bowl and hook you get, and check availability.
