Get the Electrolux now or when your kitchenAid breaks
I make bread every week using 8-10 cups of flour. My first mixer, a KitchenAid, always strained, made the Devil's noise and finally stripped gears after a year.
I bought an Electrolux 5 years ago and it is running like new. The person who told me about this wonderful mixer has had his for 20 years without a problem.
The advantages of this machine are numerous. It has an enormous capacity for home use; my 8-10 cups of flour bread does not stress it at all. It is quiet and uses less electricity. It uses a modern belt drive instead of cheap, noisy gears like the KitchenAid. Its design also has the huge advantage that the motor is below the bowl; this means there is nothing above the bowl making it easy to add ingredients (KitchenAid sells special scoops to add ingredients to overcome their design flaw).
I also use the whipping bowl attachment and it is also excellent easily whipping a couple of eggs or a large brownie batch.
A great...
this is the one
This review is for Electrolux Assistent, bought a few years ago from Amazon (5 yr maybe). It used to have a lot of good reviews. Guess now the product name changed and reviews are gone. Looks very similar -- there's one currently selling with 220v only still on Amazon. Mine is 110v for American market.
The mixer is super! I've used and broke two KichenAid models, all 5Qts and up. They simply burned out, couldn't finish a couple rounds of heavy kneeling of dry dough. I'm very satisfied with this mixer. We made dumplings every once in a while, and every time it worked hard and worked well. Well worth the money! I recommended it to all my friends.
Unique For Fifty Years
Electrolux has been producing this mixer in Sweden for over fifty years. It's well known in the rest of the world, less well so here because it's not in discount stores.
The Assistent (not -ant) works completely differently from American-style mixers. As can be seen, there's no mixer head with a hot motor hanging over the food. The motor is in the base. Instead of having paddles, dough hook, etc., driven from above, the big, heavy stainless steel bowl has a notch at the bottom that connects to the motor base. The bowl itself turns! Rather than having a beating paddle, there is a roller with spiral grooves that attaches to the arm shown in the photo, and this roller is what mixes. And does it extremely well, and without splattering food all over like a cheap Kitchen Aid. There is also a nylon scraper that scrapes the side of the bowl clean while mixing. The real revelation is being able to stand over this mixer and add ingredients, to watch everything and not be...
