Bowl-lift 8 qt, high-efficiency DC motor, a 1.3 HP motor rating and 0.44 HP delivered to the bowl, and a 500 W electrical rating in retailer documentation.

Built to run longer than an Artisan and to put less heat into the dough. Bakers rate it for dc motor and bowl-lift chassis are a different machine from the artisan., 0.44 hp measured at the bowl is a rare published output figure., less heat buildup on extended dough work than the 5 qt.. Common drawbacks include still no official dough-mass rating. 2.5 kg is a pandough limit, not a manufacturer figure., a planetary tool still tears the dough more than a spiral does..
