Bosch Compact Stand Mixer Unboxing MUM4405UC ~ Amy Learns to Cook

[@16Alain]

I bought one a few years ago. It's a sturdy little machine. Excellent for small batch of bread because it kneads more efficiently than other planetary mixers. Can whip one egg white to meringue. Whips cream as a big one. Cakes, cookies, breads, bring 'em in, it'll do the job.

[@lindamartin6238]

Informative Alain Lavoie, would you please tell me, if I want it to knead 300 g of flour for a couple of rolls, would it work with the dough hook.

[@16Alain]

@@lindamartin6238 as I think rolls dough needs to be kneaded so I'd go with the hook

[@lindamartin6238]

@@16Alain Okay, thank you Alain Lavoie.

[@christinedarrock8486]

I bought one a month back and have put it to the test with all my small batch Christmas baking. It does a fantastic job!

[@suebell5870]

I have a Assistent (Ank) that stays on the counter for big jobs. I bought the Compact a month ago for smaller tasks and have done cookies, batter, whipped cream, bread and rolls. Do not underestimate this mixer, it may look like a toy but you'll be surprised! When I'm done it folds up and goes in a drawer. Beats the smaller KA's easily.

Sue Bell is the Bank to large for small batches 8f cookie dough and bread. Want to purchase one but 7ts only hubby and me.. Thanks and Happy New Year

[@chineeboy18]

Merry Christmas Amy. That little mixer is a Titan. Don't underestimate the size. I've seen that mixer in action. Can't wait for you to put it through the Amy Mixer Test. By the way, "P" is not for pulse. It's to position the beater to "park" so it can lift out of the bowl during mixing. Happy Holidays.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Hey, I OWN one. A little tank and perfect for a 1 - 3-person household that wants to make bread, in addition to the usual mixer functions. My Compact is a discontinued model that actually DOES have a pulse function; the mixer automatically parks when you turn it off (but not if you pull the plug).

[@Nannerchan]

I can’t wait to see you put it to the test. It is reasonably priced, and I might be interested.

[@cindydavis3646]

Amy! I enjoy watching your love of stand mixers 😊 I have a kitchenaid artisan that I bought maybe five or six years ago from a friend. Sadly and disappointed in it because after making a batch of wheat bread I killed the motor. With kitchenaid I love do non traditional things like shredding chicken, mashed potatoes etc. But if you want to make bread I think it’s crap. Having said that I still am hanging on to it..to see if it’s worth fixing. In the meanwhile I did buy the Bosch compact and I love it. The weight and size are perfect for me..and the best is the motor is powerful than the kitchenaid. I didn’t have the money to spend on a brand new machine but for the price I would have paid to buy a refurbished kitchen aid I got a brand new Bosch compact! Can’t wait for you to try!

[@jul8065]

Look very smart design as it will clean up all the corners ingredients.

[@CShannon1991]

This looks like an Apartment size Mixer. You should put it against the KitchenAid Mini.

[@Mohamedmifxal]

You have a thing for stand mixers? I didn't know

[@lonabremer9884]

This could be someone's new best kitchen tool!! I can't wait to see it in action! So Cool! Tuck it under your arm with a few bags of master batch buns for your camper!!

[@sunnymastiff]

Looking forward to the test. I like the looks of this!!

[@pjczuba]

AmyLearnsToCook - Merry Christmas Amy !!!! Love Your channel and Your attitude towards over - advertised devices.Thanks to You i did avoid to buy Breville Mixer and now I am preparing to buy commercial big mixer.

[@gaylecrisp5486]

Can't wait to see you demo this.

[@tuberfying]

Ooooo, I love it❤️ Merry Christmas Amy and Eric

[@Mougharbel]

It doesn’t look or as strong or as solid as kenwood for mixing a dough .they saved on material quality I guess to make it more accessible budget wise .your right it’s a compact mixer in all sense for light and daily use .personally I don’t have space or money to spend on two mixers .i am very happy with my Kenwood . Thank you Amy

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Don't kid yourself: this thing kneads dough like nobody's business. Check out some of the manufacturer's videos here on KZbin.

[@suebell5870]

Dev, No, the Ank can do it all, small and large. Weighs about 20 pounds vs 6 for the Compact. Also the Ank will run $700 vs the Compact at $159 (sale price recently). Then there is the learning curve for the Ank but Breadbreckers has some great videos. I love both machines!

[@HotVoodooWitch]

+1 (I also have both.)

[@HotVoodooWitch]

@Sharon Hill-Walker Trust me, it will.

[@BretFrohwein]

What a crazy mixer! I can't wait to see how it tests

[@jabrinasantana7924]

This is everything I have been waiting for!!!

[@rosalindphillips6950]

Merry Christmas Amy. Hope you have a very happy new year!

[@pennierkaide4985]

Seeing this vid and your review on this product has made up my mind to buy this product but also subscribe to your channel. Very informative vids👍

[@ZacharyCrowe]

That's a unique mixer!

[@carolynharmon7074]

I Can't Wait! to see the testing. So far it's looks like it will be perfect for me. It looks like it will mix everything nicely, just not liking all the plastic.

[@52sharonmarie52]

bosch sells a stainless steel bowl for this mixer

[@carolynharmon7074]

@@52sharonmarie52 Thanks for the info!

[@HotVoodooWitch]

@@carolynharmon7074 And don't be fooled--it's a little beast. I have both the stainless and Mylar bowls (the latter bought REALLY cheap on eBay) and find myself reaching more often for the Mylar. It doesn't hurt to have both, as well as extra whips, for some recipes.

[@johnwoods5318]

That is so cool. I wonder how much it costs.

[@cindydavis3646]

john woods I got mine around $160

[@iskfenerideniz798]

Please can you make a video versus between KitchenAid and Bosch compact, thank you

[@DT-vc7hd]

Hi Amy. Would you recommend this Bosch over something like the KA Artisan 100 year anniversary mixer (currently selling at seasonal discounts) for someone who primarily wants to make small batch bread, biscuits and cookies?

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Sorry for jumping in but YES. This handles dough a LOT better than a KA.

[@joseantoniozegarra9519]

Merry Christmas Amy! Hello from Peru. Thank you for the review, all of them actually, i recently saw one of them and got hooked on them :) I´m debating between getting this bosch and the Kitchenaid Mini. when it comes to capacity would you say they are somewhat similar?

[@HotVoodooWitch]

PLEASE go with the Bosch.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

Good score! Don't knead past 2 and if it starts walking, add a little water. I have a discontinued 450 W model with a S/S bowl; I found other 450 W models used on eBay and bought one each for a friend and a cousin. They LOVE them; my friend kneads bread dough in it every week for his family and I think my cousin is more comfortable with it than with the Ankarsrum I bought her. I had to work REALLY hard to convince her that this was superior to her KitchenAid; as soon as she tried it, the KA got boxed up and shipped to her younger son (who thinks the sun rises and sets on KA). You're going to have a lot of fun with this--I also use the dough hook for PITA-to-mix things like spinach dip--think outside the box!

[@hermitnashville910]

Merry Christmas!

[@johnwoods5318]

$160.00 in American is not a bad price, compared to something like a Kitechenaid.

[@HotVoodooWitch]

AND it'll hold up to use better than a KA. I saw my doctor last week and we got on the subject of mixers. She told me that her sister had just burned out her second KA. I told her to look into a Compact (probably too small for her needs) and an Ankarsrum.

[@dntv5175]

So so sooo cheap mixer....

[@HotVoodooWitch]

The quality and robustness of this machine has to be experienced to be believed. I've had mine for years and I bought it used.
