I am contemplating getting a stand mixer for baking purposes, and I’ve always known KitchenAid as the default choice here. I would instead want something European-made, but I am unfamiliar with the landscape.

Do any of you have any experience with European models, such as the Ankarsum or Bosch OptiMUM (what kind of name is that??), or any other?

I have a good food processor and blender from before, so I don’t need it to be able to handle all kinds of things that stand mixers are not meant for, but if there’s some extensibility beyond just kneading that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to achieve with those devices, that would be a plus.

    Bosch OptiMUM (what kind of name is that??)

    It’s a compound name: MUM (motorisisierte Universal-Maschine, motorised universal machine) and Optimum (the best).

      Hehe ok, it kind of sounds like a “Mothers stay in the kitchen”-type thing. As in, “you will be the optimal mum if you get the OptiMUM”
