BoschSerie 4 MUM59340GB 3.9 Litre 1000W Stand Mixer - Anthracite

I have a very small kitchen, literally too small to swing a cat. I love baking and cooking and was looking for a new stand mixer, I have a Kenwood Chef which is about 15 years old and still works perfectly but it lives in the garage as it is much too big and heavy for my kitchen, and being an OAP I can’t be lugging it in and out of the garage everytime I want to bake, so consequently I have done very little baking over the last four or five years.I did lots of research and found the Bosch Mum5 with a 1000w motor which is strong enough to do what I want and compact enough to sit permanently on my counter top (where it will get used!!) The mixer is a stylish anthrocite and silver colour and comes with a stainless steel 3.9lt bowl. There is a zipper bag which contains a whisk, a dough hook and a beater for cake batter. It also comes with a plastic splatter lid, which is a bonus as it stops the flour or icing sugar from flying everywhere. There is a citrus juicer, a mincer, a grater attachment with 3 different blades and a liquidiser. I was lucky enough to get it during the Black Friday week and it was quite a bit cheaper than it is currently being sold for which was a bonus.I bought an additional white plastic bowl as I find it is sometimes handy to have a second bowl on hand, especially if you are making more than 1 cake at a time. I also bought the accessory set for chopping nuts, herbs etc which I have found to be really good.I have used my mixer to make various biscuits and cakes in the month I have had it and found that it is a good solid machine. It iappears to be well made and looks really good, taking up very little space on the counter top. I have not had my mixer for long, but I am very pleased with the performance so far and it appears to be a good quality machine which I will hopefully be using for years to come. I have just ordered the dust cover to protect my mixer when not in use, not that it is going to spend too much time covered up :)I will update my review in a couple of months after I have had more use out of it, but so far I am very happy with my mixer and the attachments I bought.

Just loving this mixer after replacing my old it's a nice size very quiet got a good range of speeds for doing various things so far I have only used it for baking sponges dough for scones and whipping meringue it gets right up to the edges which my last one didn't making soup this week so will be using the grater for shredding and the blender as it's broth I don't like the texture of butter beans but like it once it's been blitzed not sure if I would ever use the mincer but you never know and will definitely be trying the juicer yes I would recommend this to anyone

My first posting was not complimentary, a vital component sheered on first use. There was a delay with the original replacement however, it is worth the wait. I have for many years wanted to own the very best machine that I could afford. The Bosch MUM59340GB is amazing it every aspect. It quietly and efficiently does all that is required. The power is obvious, omitting no more than a gentle hum whilst whizzing through tasks.I am looking forward to playing, I mean using it for many years.Amazon chat has to be thanked for taking my concerns seriously and ensuring that the second replacement arrived on time.I wanted to say that I loved it after spending so much money, however, the first time used one of the main components snapped which means I cannot use the shredder attachment. I do not want to return it but will need a replacement part so have no other option. very disappointed. I will accept a replacement and hope that the same thing does not happen again. If all goes well with the replacement, I will re-post more favourable comments or damn it for forever. Watch this space.

This is a wonderful machine and really well made. Everything works perfectly and as it should. I really couldn't ask for better.

Where do I start, the machine look amazing, it's so quite and yet powerful, you get many different bits and bobs you don't even know how or where to use those but maybe once you will find out kind of. I tried to cut slice vegetables for salad and stew and others and straight found out the first issue for me. It have a safety switch at the bottom so only working when you have the Bosch bowl underneath, I have like 8 different bowls and now they are useless in a way so this took a star away in my eyes straight specially when you spend lot to get a machine like this. Next one you can slice grated grind but one missing the chopping which also one of the most important part to own a machine like this to be able to use for chopping. Well the machine have available accessories for only 100 pounds you can get that half liter capacity chopping add on with blade and 3 other disc what by the way you got with the big box. Don't know it's a good or bad thing and were thinking to take one more star off cause of this but no at least you have option but when you pick this machine make sure you buy the correct bundle for your needs as different colours they have different things in the box. So overall it's a nice versatile and quite machine not taking up much place and thanks for the suction cup at the bottom it's stable. If you go for this machine I recommend to search straight for the plastic bowl what you can buy for the machine as 1 bowl certainty not enough and get ready to spend more for those bits and bobs you might gonna need to get the maximum out of your machine.
