I purchased this mixer for my wife two years ago and all in all she loves the unit. It does handle all of her bread and cookie making needs very well as many have written, but we have just found a possible safety concern.
If you have one of these units please carefully check your power cord (with it unplugged). We have only used this unit a handful of times and always push the cord back into the housing as it was designed to do. A few days ago my pulled the cord out and plugged it in. After noticing that she didn’t have as much free cord to move the unit around, she pulled some more cord out and received a shock. Turns out that the cord was somehow able to be pushed beyond the cord storage area internally and into the pulley / belt area where it rubbed through the cord insulation exposing the copper wiring.
Bosch’s customer service suggested that they have never heard of such a problem, and that may be the case. However it is hard to believe that we have the only unit that has, or could potentially have this safety concern.
At this point, Bosch wants me to send it in and pay to have it fixed. Not real impressed with their lack of concern or offer to correct the problem. All they would have had to do was offer to replace the cord and I would have been fine with that.
UPDATE: Good news / bad news. Bad news is I received a call back from Bosch(the 800 number in the manual), and they really didn’t care about my problem or the concern that it could possibly be a safety issue for others.
Good news, my sister had me contact Shar’s in Gilbert Arizona, a dealer that she has purchased Bosch products from in the past. They were very sympathetic to my situation and although they did not have to, they were willing to make the repair without question. I was happy to have them send me a new cord, which they were willing to do, and I’ll put it in myself. If you are in the market for a Bosch kitchen appliance or repair, I can’t say enough good things about Shar’s in Gilbert Arizona. Wonderful people.
Men may benefit from taking practical courses as many males admit to hating DIY, according to new research.
A study of 1000 men by Bosch revealed that one in five men confessed that they detested doing DIY jobs such as putting up shelves, grouting tiles in the bathroom and kitchen and even painting rooms.
The investigation found that one third of men said they avoided doing DIY as they thought it was too time-consuming while one in five confirmed that they did not know what they were doing.
Chris Tidy, DIY expert for Bosch, said: "There was a time when almost every man would love nothing more than heading down to his shed to make something, or indulge in a spot of DIY around the home.
"But it seems this is no longer the case as a large number of men now see it as a chore rather than a hobby."
Enrolling bosch mum 7100 stand mixer on tiling courses, decorating courses and plastering courses is likely to give DIY-shy men the ability and know-how to confidently carry out most tasks around the home.
The study also found that men who did indulge in DIY were often derived great satisfaction from their efforts.
Bosch made known that 45 per cent of men said that DIY filled them with pride, 26 per cent used it to express their creativity while more than a quarter liked the feeling they got after creating something unique.
Chris Tidy added that anyone can experience the financial and emotional benefits of DIY.
"I believe that no matter who you are, or what the job, DIY can be time and cost effective as well as straightforward with simple step-by-step instructions. What's more, the personal fulfilment and satisfaction that comes," he added.
More women may be keen on taking tiling courses, decorating courses and carpentry courses as the research revealed that an increasing number of females were turning to DIY.
Over a quarter of women have declared that they are DIY fanatics and another 52 per cent of said they liked doing DIY occasionally.
Chris Tidy claims that children whose parents avoid DIY and employ professionals instead are missing out on inheriting practical skills around the house.
"In the past parents would hand down DIY skills to their children, but today's mums and dads are either too busy, or don't have the practical know-how themselves, so rely on getting in profession help instead."
These children may need to take tiling courses, decorating courses and plastering courses in the future to address a DIY skills shortage.

I have now had my Bosch for a couple of months. The model I have is a slightly more powerful (1000W) European version with the metal bowl, but otherwise it is the same. It replaces a much-loved Kitchen Aid mixer which I had in the States. I must say that as much as I loved my Kitchen Aid, this Bosch model outperforms it as well as many other mixers. My first impression of the machine upon using it to make bread was that it was way too easy. After using industry-grade Hobart machines, Kitchen Aid, Electrolux, and Kenwood for many years in work and home, I was amazed at how well and effortlessly the Bosch kneaded the dough. I have not one time need to scrape down the sides and there is no spillage.
The capacity is truly enough to make 4 loaves of bread at a time. The lid performs wonderfully, leaving no place for ingredients to escape. Further, the removable part of the lid allows the most space for adding ingredients of all home machines which I have tried. As comparisons: I use an Electrolux Assistant (same capacity bowl)at work every week to make 8 loaves of bread and pizza dough and am frustrated with every batch as the ingredients leap over the backside of the bowl nearly every time no matter how diligently I guard it. The splash guard on my Kitchen Aid I also found to be undersized for adding dry ingredients and I spilled them every time, in the end removing the guard completely. The kneading mechanism on the Bosch looks strange as it has a stationary dough blade as well as a dough hook, but it functions beautifully.
The double whisk works well to mix cake batters. The beaters fit snug in the bowl without hitting the sides. I have experienced that only minimal scraping is sometimes required for cake batters. While this has been occasional and quite optional (perfectionist), it does require that the splash-guard be removed first. I cannot yet give an opinion on its whisk ability regarding cream or eggwhites as I have not had occasion to test that yet. The beaters snap on and off of the head (much like traditional beaters) for easier cleaning and storage.
The plastic blender is of solid and sturdy material and the lid locks onto the blender bowl in addition to having a rubber seal. The blender is driven by a second rotor hidden under a removable cover on the tower part of the mixer base. It locks securely on the base and is as powerful as any free-standing blender I have used. Keep in mind that I do have a 1000W model, so your 800W experience may be slightly different.
Clean up is the only more complicated part of the process. There are not so many more parts, but the design makes it trickier to clean properly. With a tower in the middle of the mixing bowl (similar to a tube pan), it just plain takes more attention and time to clean and the angles of the dough hook makes it a bit trickier than the Kitchen Aid. The whisks are no more difficult than any balloon whisk. All this said, I am so satisfied with the machine that I actually enjoy the more complicated clean up as I get to baby it. And as the other reviewer noted, most parts are dishwasher safe.
I will edit this review as I have more information to add.
I have also attached a customer image which shows the blender attached, the dough hook placed in the bowl, and the double whisk attachment for a bit of visual information.
Enjoy your Bosch!
After going through several of the Kitchenaid 600 Professional mixers over the past few years, I finally had enough and returned my last Kitchenaid mixer and bought a Bosch Universal Plus.. It was the best decision I have made. My Kitchenaid motor was getting hot just mixing up ONE loaf of bread, keeping with the 4 minute knead time that Kitchenaid suggests. After getting the Bosch, I was amazed at how effortlessly it mixed up 4 loaves of bread – it was the best experience I have had with a mixer. It is much easier to clean than my Kitchenaid and easier to use. I typically make a minimum of 3 loaves of bread every week, sometimes more, and needed a mixer that could handle that with no problems – my wish was granted. I love all the attachments that are available as well – with the powerful motor, the blender works amazingly and again was easy to clean. I would highly recommend this mixer – you won’t be sorry with this purchase!
I just sold my kitchenaid and purchased this machine a few weeks ago. I love it so far. A few things I love are the suction cups on the bottom so that the machine stays in place as it works on bigger batches. I recommend you store it on it’s side, (there are rubber pads on the side to store it this way.) It seems like if you store it flat the suction cups will wear out faster. It is a more compact design than before, which is nice, but I am hoping it will hold up like other models have. A lot of people complain that there are a lot of pieces to clean, I don’t mind the cleaning aspect, but virtually everything is dishwasher safe if that’s an issue for you. (I always hand wash mine because I think it holds up better.) It’s a larger capacity mixer and does a better job with my doughs than any other mixer I’ve used. .
I’ve been using my Bosch Universal Plus for a year now. It’s not perfect; but perfection is the enemy of the possible. It makes outstanding bread – and very easily. While some have complained about the clean-up, I’ve found that I can easily do this with time to spare while the bread is rising. The standard bread recipes that come with the machine are simple and can be easily modified. I often use leftover water from cooking beans or potatoes in lieu of water, so every batch of bread is a little different; but all are good.
My only complaints are with the blender. The Bosch comes with a cylindrical growth at the right rear that contains a separate drive for a blender (which you pay an additional $70 for). It would be much more compact if the blender worked on the same drive as the mixer. Since the mixer and blender cannot be used at the same time, this would save space and might even save Bosch some money on mechanical parts. I can’t imagine that there are very many folks purchasing the Bosch who don’t already have a good blender and for $70 you can buy a better one. The Bosch blender is tall and made of flimsy plastic. The top has a hole in it so that it can serve as a siphon. Most of us are used to removing the center piece at the top and pouring in additional ingredients; so this feels more like a gimmick than a leap forward in technology. Removing the blender bottom for cleaning is a bit tricky. It does not screw off as most blenders do. If you carefully read the documentation that comes with your Bosch, you will note that the blender top has two slits in it. The top with slits is used to loosen the bottom. It is inserted into the bottom of the blender where the slits slip over two metal projections. Then you can twist off the blade unit. If you happen to miss this feature when first using your blender, you will have a challenging time disassembling the blender for cleaning with your tool kit!
Aside from the blender, which I rarely use, and the additional shelf space it incurs, the Bosch Universal Plus is sturdy, reliable, and makes excellent bread – easily. I’m very happy to own one.
