Customer Q&AAsk a Question

Can I use this standard-duty mixer to make pizza dough?

This standard-duty mixer can be used to make the occasional small batch of pizza dough, however, it should function on low speed to prevent burning out the motor. For larger, more frequent batches of pizza dough, check out our selection of spiral dough mixers!

Does the hp (horsepower) rating of this mixer reflect the output to the mixer bowl?

Our motor hp reference is meant to indicate the horsepower rating of the motor itself and not the mixer's horsepower output to the mixer bowl.

I am looking for a mixer for my bakery. Would this be a good option?

This mixer is an excellent value for the price and is perfect for standard-duty applications. Due to the heavy usage required of a bakery mixer, we recommend choosing a more durable option specifically made for the challenge of heavy use. Please refer to the manufacturer literature for more detailed information about what each specific model can handle, and if you don't see the food you wish to mix, look for closest comparable food in texture.

I upgraded my KA three times, and then purchased a Bosch for my cottage bakery. When I opened my commercial space, I bought the MX20 and should have purchased it to begin with. This mixer is a beast. I have no complaints whatsoever. The bowls is a great size. I have used it for cookie doughs, frostings, and bread doughs. It handles them all with ease. I would like to note that I was a little concerned on the weight when I ordered it. Definitely pay for the liftgate service if you do not have a forklift on site. It was heavy, but not too heavy that my Dad and I couldn't lift it to put it on the stand. I purchased the 24" stand, item #600MT2424G, which fits it nicely. It is a solid investment that I have thoroughly enjoyed.

We purchased two of these mixers when building out our second bakery location. I do not recommend purchasing these! Throughout the last year and a half the insides have completely fallen apart, and the mechanism to raise and lower the bowl seems to have finally stripped making it unusable. For the price, I would’ve expected them to last a bit longer. We don’t even use them every day—I would say 2-3 days per week, and not full days of use. We have fixed a few things along the way, needing to open it up and rig something up or find little screws that came out and fell down inside. I’ll try buying some new parts to install and see if we can get them working again—but they’ve been a headache and far too sensitive to be worth it! I wish I would’ve either bought something more reliable or sourced a better quality used mixer. Live and learn! The one plus side is the bowls are lighter than other 20qt mixing bowls I’ve worked with, so they’re easy to lift when full.

Do not waste your money on this garbage mixer. Lasted 2 days and broke. Said it wasn't under warranty cause I made pizza dough in it. (ITS A DOUGH MIXER) I did a small batch of dough 3 times then it broke. I will never order from this company ever again. And please don't waste your money with this junk china garbage. I've learned my lesson the hard way.

This mixer is not suitable for mixing cookies, unless you're okay with mixing only 10lbs of cookie dough at a time (yes, that's how much they told me was safe to use with cookie dough). When I first received my mixer, there was a LOUD clanging sound that was coming from the paddle hitting the side of one of my bowls (this only happened with one of the two bowls I have). I thought the bowl was defective, so Webstaurant sent me a replacement bowl. When it arrived, it did the same thing as the last. VERY loud clanging noise from the paddle hitting the sides of the bowl. It was hitting it so hard in fact, the locking mechanism on the sides of the bowl slowly became unlocked the longer it mixed from the bowl shifting around. I went back and forth with Webstaurant who suggested I added too Read More

We bought this mixer after our last one died. We use it to mix our cookie dough for the bakery, and can do everything on setting #1. It's Extremely powerful. Also, pretty quiet if you ask me. Cons and the only reason why we give it a 4: Very sharp edges so you have to be very careful when wiping down. All of our staff cut ourselves very badly trying to clean and wipe it down. We also use the batter paddle, which is also very sharp. Not sure why this whole thing is one big knife. There is a lot of safety features on the mixer where it won't spin if it's not lifted, won't spin if the cage is not shut, and won't spin if the timer is at 0, but you'll bleed to death cleaning it. Suggestions: Would be nice if it had a pulse mode to prevent flour spillage, and the capability of mixing without the cage.

Questionable quality. Do not recommend using at high speeds. Makes a clicking sound when I'm trying to make batches of dough.

Paddle was too far from bowl to mix well, leaving unmixed flour or batter. Mixer died after only one year. Poorly made product for the price. Not built for daily commercial use.

Broke after two weeks of use. Save your money, and buy a better brand.

We've had a kitchenaid for 10 years and bought this one for the larger capacity. It's been exactly 1 month from the date of receipt of this machine. We are not a bakery, so it gets very little use. Last night the part that holds the hook or paddle just fell out while mixing batter. We were able to put that piece back but nothing is turning on. Luckily we bought the warranty, but don't want a replacement at all are wishing we could just get another brand.

You get what you pay for. I wanted to avoid a high price Hobart, and as a startup bakery that doesn't do a ton of heavy duty mixing, we opted for this mixer based on all the good reviews. First, when I received it I noticed how much flimsier both the bowl and paddles are compared to a Hobart. Ok, I figured that's not ideal, but I could live with it. But now, after 10 mos of very light use (< 1 shift/wk in a commissary kitchen), the gear head is leaking oil down into the bowl...just, ewww. I would stay away from this mixer.

Bought this mixer 5 years ago. It is used weekly to make our sweet roll dough and frosting. Also large batches of cookie dough. Works like a champ every time.

Do not buy this one. We paid over a decent amount of money for this back in April/May but it got broken after 3 times using it. The axle dropped while it was kneading only 1lb of flour. They said because of residential address so it’s out of 30 day warranty. What a joke!
