We chose because of the reviews and the price-performance ratio for this machine. We did not regret it. It works effectively and the volume is not too exaggerated. The powerful engine also kneads pizza and bread dough, which at 2kg dough all a little goes to the dough hook to the top edge and you have the then clean. My recommendation would therefore prefer to knead dough 2x1kg, the cleaning process is simpler because the dough can not stick in small crevices. The bowl cover with filling aid is also very useful. For pies and cakes, it is no problem. The planetary takes even the smallest quantities down and on edge. When dough at the edge remains simple Stude provide higher and everything is recorded and processed. You do not have to help with a spatula etc..
