Finally a kneading machine with which you can also knead firm dough confidently. I was sick, immmer working with the mixers. After a short period the stirring hook were broken or knocked out the thread. This machine is powerful and very practical, very easy to clean and has a firm place in my kitchen, so that it is always at hand. Even 1 cup cream, I propose it and everything stays clean. A Schnitzel device would not be bad, but it does my old kitchen appliance still that I use only a few times. For me, this machine is ideal and I hope it keeps for a long time.
