[Cet avis a été recueilli en réponse à une offre.] I have been using this stand mixer for a few months, but I had some doubts about purchasing one (of any model or brand for a long time).
Up until now, I never saw a model which convinced me it was worth the price, the amount of countertop space it takes, and the amount of noise they make and energy they consume.
What really helped to change my mind with this one is that BOSCH have really though about HOW people bake, not just what looks good for photos or pretty on a countertop. It has such great features: you can weigh the ingredients as you add them (alellujah!), and then it is powerful, I love how the bowl is - large, sturdy and deep, and it is easy to clean.
OK, it is not silent, but it is quiet to still have a conversation with other people in the kitchen when it is on.
The speed and all other functions are perfect, and...the TIMER! Yes, it has a timer so you can occupy your mind with other things than timing the mixing.
I haven't purchased other additional items that can be added, but it is great that this is possible, and the BOSCH provides parts and servicing.
The only negative is that I did not have this in my life sooner :) It is great value for money if you baking is what you are about! In fact, it's so good I am more than happy to put my real name to this review ;P
