The Mightiest Mixer of them ALL!,
By Karma wilson "wilsonbrood" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electrolux DX200-GY Metallic Grey DLX 2000 Stand Mixer 8-qt.
I researched buying a mixer for months. Although the DLX was my first choice I ordered a cheaper mixer (Dimension 2000) which promptly broke--twice--in one week before I insisted to the dealer that I wanted my money back. Then I purchased the DLX Assistant and I have NEVER regretted my decision. This mixer easily mixes seven loaves of bread at once. The open top makes it as easy to use as a bread machine. I dump and mix my ingredients easily and end up with lovely dough. I have made cookie dough, bread, mashed potatoes, cheese cake, pumpkin pie, whipped cream and much more in this mixer. I can cream butter to the silkiest, fluffiest texture. I have also used the Bosch universal mixer, Dimension 2000 mixer and standard Kitchen Aid mixer and there is no comparison in my opinion. While the Bosch was okay--the kitchen aid was only for batters and mashed potatoes and the dimension was just junk. But the DLX is by far the sturdiest most well made of the mixers. The gears are solid stainless steal. I use the blender daily for making smoothies with large ice cubes. My one complaint is that the blender could be bigger. But it is easy to clean, and while the blades aren't sharp--they work fantastic. This also makes for nice cleaning as I don't have to worry about slicing my hand every time I wash my blender. I also have the mean grinder attachement which I have used to literally grind 100's of pounds of burger with NOT ONE CLOG YET. AS somebody who has used meat grinders before I can tell you that is remarkable. This seventy dollar attachment is better than the mid-range meat grinders you will buy that cost in the mid two hundreds. That helps make up for the relatively high cost of the mixer. The action on this mixer is different--so if you're used to a kitchen aid expect a learning curve. However, I find it a pleasure to use and easier to clean than the kitchen aid or bosch. If you have a storage concern this mixer ISN'T FOR YOU. It weights about 40 lbs! I keep mine permantely on the counter top--but it's so lovely I like having it out. I couldn't imagine putting it away all the time. It's an appliance with substance and a daily part of my cooking. If you have limited space go for the Bosch compact or universal. If you want the largest mixing capacity and a machine you will probably never have to repair or replace buy THIS MIXER. You'll be glad you did!

Simply The Best Mixer Available!,
By
This review is from: Electrolux DX200-GY Metallic Grey DLX 2000 Stand Mixer 8-qt.
Previous reviewer stated "where is the recipe book and guidance"Answer to that question is other than a very few receipes their is none. However, The machine is easy to figure out once you understand it's mixing concept. When in doubt, place adjustable arm all the way out & then increase speed while slowly readjusting arm inward until desired mixing achieved. Really very simple once you get the hang of it. Mixer it'self is terrific, will do anything & everything but stand on it's head and gargle peanut butter. No need for the dough hook when making a few loaves of bread & adding ingredients is a snap due to the uniqueness of the mixing action which leaves the whole front half of the Mixing bowl unrestricted by a head or beaters. Summing up! A very high quality product sans a receipe book.

Throw out your spatulas.....,

This review is from: Electrolux DX200-GY Metallic Grey DLX 2000 Stand Mixer 8-qt.
I have to admit I was a bit weary shovelling out $500 for a stand mixer. The Electrolux is worth every penny. Say goodbye to scarping down the sides of your mixing bowl (this is done continuously during the mixing process thanks to the clever "roller/scraper" system)....
I make a lot of large bread recipes (especially dense European breads) and find that the textures from this machine are superb! If you're a serious baker don't even think twice about a Kitchen-Aid, spend a bit more and get this powerful piece of equipment.
