Stand mixers!

General Baking Discussion

Hi bakers. Looking for input. I have a Kitchen Aid Professional 600 from a few years ago that I kind of hate. It struggles with bread dough, can't whip small amounts, is loud, gets too warm, etc.

I bake a lot of bread, but also cookies and other things.

Should I get:

  1. An Ankarsrum https://www.ankarsrum.com/ca/product-category/stand-mixers/

  2. KitchenAid Commercial (only one still with DC motor) https://www.kitchenaid.ca/en\_ca/countertop-appliances/stand-mixers/bowl-lift-stand-mixers/p.nsf-certified-commercial-series-8-qt-bowl-lift-stand-mixer-with-stainless-steel-bowl-guard.KSMC895OB.html

  3. Something else? (Bosch, Ooni, etc)

I need something that can kind of handle a variety of things in large quantities. I bake a lot every week and may be scaling up in the near future. Open to suggestions!!
