There are dozens of stand mixers on the market, but the two that continuously beat out the competition are the KitchenAid and Bosch mixers.
A stand mixer is an investment item, so you want to be sure to purchase one that will be the most useful for you. Today, we’re helping you out by comparing two of the most durable options, KitchenAid and Bosch, to help you determine the best fit for your kitchen.
KitchenAid
KitchenAid mixers have been at the top of the market for more than 100 years, and it’s no secret why! They carry an endless number of benefits, including:
Pros
- KitchenAid’s stand mixers come in a variety of fun colors and many different sizes
- Each size sold at a different price point, so you can save money if you don’t need it to have a large capacity
- It handles small and medium batches very well
- It comes with a variety of attachments, including a wire whip, flat beater, and dough hook
- You can also purchase additional attachments such as a pasta maker, slicer, spiralizer, and more
- It’s user-friendly and seamlessly simple to use
- Each sleek mixer looks gorgeous in any kitchen
Cons
- KitchenAid mixers are taller than the Bosch mixer, which can make them difficult to store in a cupboard
- It’s not the best option for oversized workloads as it eats up a lot of power
- It can teeter a bit back and forth when mixing stiff batters or doughs
Bosch Mixer
The Bosch Universal Plus Mixer is known for being one of the most durable and long-lasting stand mixers out there. This workhorse is a great fit for anyone who loves to cook.
Pros
- It has a heavy-duty, 800-watt motor that can handle any mixture with ease
- It’s incredibly fast and efficient
- This mixer is very user-friendly and long-lasting
- It’s one of the most lightweight mixers on the market
- Heavy-duty suction cups anchor the bottom of the machine so that it doesn’t rock
- Its open-bowl design makes it easy to add ingredients and mix everything easily
- The bowl is so non-stick that you won’t need to over flour your bread dough
- Each mixer comes with a plethora of bowls and attachments for all your cooking and baking needs
Cons
- It’s fast and furious, and the bowl is big enough to handle large jobs. If you generally only make smaller batches, this machine might overdo it for you.
- Currently, there’s only one color option to choose from
- It has a larger footprint than a KitchenAid, so it takes up more room on the counter
Bottom Line
If you mostly make small or medium batches of batter or dough, a KitchenAid is going to be an excellent fit for you. On the other hand, if you commonly make hefty amounts of bread or cookies, a Bosch mixer will be better equipped to handle anything you throw at it.
