I'm using it for bread baking mainly, and it usually starts getting real hot and burnt smelling after only 6-7 minutes on low speed.
Everyone else I've talked to has the same experience with low wattage and bread dough aswell.
(I might mention that I come from a culture of super healthy brick like killerbread)
Anything else the KA handles just fine though.
I looked at Hobarts, and I'd have to get rich first for those, so I need something while I wait.
What about brands like Viking, Cuisinart and that stuff? Just as mediocre as KA?
Holy fjusk, bakechef, you're right! And the one justplainbill linked to aswell!
That's really confusing. How can they "pose" as several brands like that? It's not a very good marketing strategy
If or when you get one you like, please let me/us know. I would like to get one my self. I might have some present comming end of the year, and that is my goal to get really good stand up mixer. I have not started looking yet, but maybe i can use your experience. Thank you for this thread.Thanks for all the response!
Everyones experiences is appreciated!
No Charlie.Bill, is this the one you have?
One horsepower = 736 watts so a 1000 watt motor would be about 1 1/3 HP.
If that 1000 watt rating was accurate, I would think that Cuisinart, Viking, etc.. would brag about it.
Funny, my N50 is rated at only 1/6 horsepower, which looks a lot like not much. But it's speed is not controlled by a rheostat, like other counter top mixers. The motor turns at a constant speed, and the mixing speed is governed by a 3 speed planetary transmission. Turn it off to shift gears...no clutch. Doesn't seem to matter how much of what I put in it, it just goes and goes and goes...
