This is a very powerful kneader, boasting of 1400 Watt and extremely popular among German artisan bread bakers. Here it is kneading a very dry Italian dough with 40% water und 10% olive oil destined to be fashioned into a very fanciful Italian shape. But the BOSCH MUM 8 is very versatile kitchen appliance and just as good or even better than any Kitchen Aid with plenty of tools. Supreme among its many qualities is its solidity and reliability.
