Product Description
Whip cream, crush berries, knead dough, mix batter, and more with what some call Sweden's greatest kitchen machine. It puts 450 watts to work, along with a variety of attachments to quickly process numerous foods. Its superior motor design automatically adjusts torque to the load and as a result strains less and is far less likely to "walk" across your counter too. The timer allows you to start the mixer, set a time, and move to a different task while the machine goes to work. The unique roller and scraper design produce smooth, silky, elastic dough quickly and easily, effectively mimicking hand kneading. As the stainless steel bowl rotates, the deeply fluted roller perform like "fingers" while the scraper acts as the palm of the hand, scraping and massaging in a rhythmic motion. The white stationary bowl can be used to beat up to 18 egg whites for a gorgeous meringue or to cream butter and sugar for baking. When this bowl is used the whisks drive from below via a center column in the bowl, and this arrangement permits unimpeded access to the top of the bowl, with no overhead motor drive to get in the way.

 Baking Bread Right Now June 18, 2010
Kay Elam (LAGRANGE, GA, US)
The Electroluw Assistant with just the basic accessories of scraper and beater have changed bread baking from a chore to easy and fun. My loaves of bread are more consistent and they rise beautifully. Why did I wait so long?

I love this mixer especialy for bread dough. It mixes so easy and it don't seem to work hard.
I recommend this to every household. Better than anything else.
Had commercial mixer before but it run stuck on bread dough.

I really wanted to love this mixer. It has a lot of things going for it with a powerful yet quiet motor, large bowl, solid construction, timer, attachments, and a three year warranty, but it doesn't knead dough!
Let me start from the begining. I love to make bread and am a perfectionist about it. I started out with 4.5 quart Kitchenaid model. It lasted three years and needed one $80 repair. I then bought the 5 qt model, the motor burnt out in two months. It was still under warranty, so a new one was sent to me. The next one lasted almost three months and the motor burned out. Another new one was sent and it lasted 9 months, then needed an $80 repair, three months later it needed a $30 repair. I wasn't abusing the machines, just using them for bread dough. By this point I decided to get away from Kitchenaid and find a better mixer.
The next logical choice is a Bosch. I read negative reviews about this and talked to people. It sounded like it works great, but with heavy use it won't last more than ten years. All the other home use machines that I came across seemed weak as well. I started looking into commercial mixers, which was very frustrating because there are of course no consumer reviews on them. I found a few on ebay and called about some. One sales rep told me to stay away from one I was looking at because it couldn't handle dough. I was a amazed that $1000+ dollar mixer could not handle dough. What is it good for? whipping cream? My $10 hand mixer can do that.
Then I came across the Electrolux Assistent or Magic Mill and I thought my problem was going to be solved. It got amazing reviews as a dough mixer, and people seemed to love it. I also read that it was hard to get used to, but I was sure I could figure it out. I tried, and tried, and tried, but could not get it to knead the dough properly. Most of the time it stayed in the middle while the bowl spun around it. I changed the lever position, tried the roller, tried without the scraper, but could not get it to work. After 12 minutes the dough wasn't properly kneaded, the temperature wrong, and the dough was a bit dried out. Needless to say, the loaves didn't have a proper rise, and ended up quite dense. After three weeks and I don't know how many failed loaves I returned it. I had a 30 day money back guarantee, thank goodness!
I should add that it did work well for really sticky doughs, like rolls or ciabatta, but for anything else, it was awful!
I went back to commercial mixer research and called a local chain bakery. I bought an 8 qt Globe which they have had sucess with. I hope this will be the end of the mixer trauma!

I live in Trinidad where Electrolux Kitchen Assistents have been on the market for more than forty years. I bought mine in 1966 and it's still going strong, I mix five loaves at a time and bake them all together. I use it to make cakes, to mince and grind and I've only had to replace the roller once.
In 1989 I bought another Kitchen Assistent for my daughter as part of her wedding presents. Now that she has three hungry teenagers to feed she's still thanking me for buying her the Assistent.
Great for bread May 3, 2008

This stand mixer is great for making breads. The motor does not mind working hard. It is quiet and powerful. The only draw back is the bowl is VERY heavy.
