Bosch MUM48R1 - Our independent review

The recipes that have been on the net have for some years been largely referring to the preparation of dishes using the planetary mixer, a household appliance that many culinary art enthusiasts can no longer do without. Among the many on the market, the Bosch MUM48R1 stand mixer has sparked my imagination by remembering what has been read in the various blogs on the delicacies "out" of this machine and also how reliable the Bosch brand is. So let's evaluate together the characteristics, the price, and also the opinions of those who bought it.

The Bosch MUM48R1 mixer is a beautiful red color and has a very attractive appearance. Its non-bulky dimensions will allow you to keep it in a corner of the kitchen top always available, without having the annoying cable in sight thanks to the practical cable-winding compartment, a small plus not to be underestimated. With its 4 speeds and 600 W of power, the Bosch MUM48R1 has respectable performances. The particular protection against overheating makes it particularly safe; it is low noise and very stable during use thanks to the rubber feet. The 3D MultiMotion Drive planetary movement, reaching every small point inside the bowl, guarantees a homogeneous and waste-free mix. The accessories supplied - all dishwasher safe - allow the Bosch MUM48R1 stand mixer to also function as a food processor: the stainless steel bowl with a dough capacity of 2 kg, the splash guard cover with nozzle to insert food during processing, the steel hook for hard dough, two whips - one for soft dough and one for whipping - 1 cutter with 3 discs for grating and slicing in different ways according to your needs. The mixer is also designed for the purchase at a later date of numerous other accessories, such as the ice cream maker.

Do you think here comes the bad news? I was afraid of it too, I confess. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the price of the Bosch MUM48R1 planetary mixer is absolutely accessible and encourages the purchase. In any case, it is definitely worth browsing a little, knowing - as we all know - that for example, on Amazon, there are excellent offers and therefore you can spend even less.

A chorus of applause for this mixer that responded to the expectations of almost all of the 150 Amazon customers who expressed opinions on the Bosch MUM48R1 planetary mixer and recommended its purchase. They appreciated the practicality of use, the perfection in kneading, the small footprint, the ease of cleaning, the excellent value for money; and much more, some with exuberant tones and others with more peaceful tones. Some customers expressed some reservations but overall they were still satisfied. Only two customers proved to be decidedly unhappy, one for breaking the hook, the other for a problem with the plastic cover.

For those who want to treat themselves or give a "chef assistant", the Bosch MUM48R1 stand mixer proves to be an excellent choice: beautiful, of the right size to avoid the boredom of having to hide it somewhere every time. But not only: practical and efficient, fundamental qualities for choosing an appliance of this kind. And if after the purchase you don't know which way to start? Do not worry, last but not least among the accessories you will also find a fantastic DVD with all the recipes. And then, of course, there is always the net, the instruction manual for anything, as any good internet user knows.
