Pros and cons

Pros

  • Documented flour ceilings, unlike most stand mixers.
  • A short mix followed by folds is a workable method for pizza.
  • The overload shutdown is genuine protection, not only a warning label.

Cons

  • The heating element adds heat separately from friction. Do not knead with it switched on.
  • A knead of 5 to 13 minutes will cook the dough. Keep the mix short.
