The bread baker's high-capacity workhorse. Motor-under-bowl architecture for 14 lbs of dough scale. Not pretty, thin attachment ecosystem, exactly right for big-batch bread.

Low center of gravity — doesn't get top-heavy at scale. Kneads up to 14 lbs of dough without the wobble of planetary mixers.

500W (800W Peak) Motor

Rated 500W continuous, 800W peak. Built for sustained big-batch bread workouts.

6.5-Quart Bowl + Bread Attachments

Whisk, dough hook, and cookie paddles in the box. Plastic bowl is lighter than stainless when full of 14 lbs of dough.
