This mixer's powerful 2 hp, 1 phase motor, and 3-speed gear-driven transmission will get the job done without the risk of drive system slip that can happen with belt driven models. It offers easy shifting with consistent mixing speeds regardless of the thickness of the product in the bowl. The dough hook is best suited for a low RPM of 130, the flat beater for a medium RPM of 204, and the wire whisk for a high RPM of 596. Additionally, its automatic safety overload switch will cut the power in the event of overdraw to protect your unit from damage.
