Globe SP20 20 Qt. Planetary Stand Mixer with Guard & Standard Accessories - 120V, 1/2 hp

Mine was 3 to 4 years old when I got it in 2004. Averages 6 - 8 batches of dough per day, every day (baguettes, bagels, pizza dough, ciabatta bread etc). In that time I have replaced the low speed clutch twice and the main shaft once. It even fell off the counter once onto a concrete floor while mixing - all that broke was the gear change handle but that is an easy replacement. No idea how many more years it will last but when it does finally die, it will definitely be replaced with the same make and model.

We've made 20# of bread dough in this every day for years and it hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. The only complaint is that the paddle doesn't get super close to the side of the bowl, so cookies and cakes require a lot of scraping. But for bread, excellent.

The mixer is just perfect for my bakery!
