Wilfa ProBaker

Rotating-bowl mixer, ~7 L, ~5 kg advertised. The manual is unusually honest: about 5.0 kg at ~67% hydration, 2.4 kg around 60%, 1.24 kg around 55%. The 5 kg figure is not for stiff pizza dough.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Stiffness-dependent limits are in the manual, not a forum guess.
  • Quieter, and the dough climbs the hook less than on a typical planetary.
  • Owners report lower dough heating.

Cons

  • High-hydration dough around 400–500 g can split between bowl and hook.
  • The advertised 5 kg capacity does not apply to bagel-stiff dough.
