The MUM44 is a super food processor. My old broke down unfortunately for 15years. So needed a new one. I have again chosen the same as it has done me in the 15 years always faithful service. The engine is powerful enough to knead dough just fine. I would recommend the machine with a clear conscience. In combination with the MUZ4 GM3 flour mill, you can grind and process also great fresh wholegrain flour.
