Bosch MUM4 / Series 2

A compact 3.9 L planetary from the European Bosch lineup, 900 W. Bosch is one of the few manufacturers that publishes a bread-dough mass rather than only a bowl volume: 1.7 kg for bread dough. The drive head is plastic and visibly flexes on stiff batches, so owners report a comfortable working maximum nearer 1.5 kg. Bosch publishes seven indexed speeds and no RPM values.
