Who Does This??! I had a very old Bosch Universal bought about 35 years ago when there was a Bosch Kitchen Centre in Victoria. About 1985. Used it regularly all these years to make bread and everything else. Our original machine included a blender jar, and a food processor to shred vegetables etc. A few weeks back I really overloaded it while experimenting with thick whole wheat dough that was way too stiff and big. It ripped the stops right off the plastic transmission! I attempted to repair it without success. So I sought to replace the kitchen machine. For some stupid reason I never even thought Bosch made these any more. I checked user reviews for Kitchenaid and a dozen others. Motors too noisy, over heating, smoking, not recommended for bread... Then I tried this site and bought a new model of the Universal now being made In Slovenia no less! Crazy as I visited that county 3 years ago. The new unit arrived in just a couple days- a basic unit with the mixing bowl, dough hooks and wire wisk. But here's the unbelievable surprise. After almost 40 years my old attachments still fit!!! What the hell. Who does that any more! Fabulous. My ancient blender fit and my food processor with shredder blades too. Blown away and it was the right choice for sure. There have been some improvements over the years. The new main plastic bowl now has extra clamping grooves on the outside edge so that all the torque isn't trying to rip the dogs off of the main drive (like I did with mine). And the drive transmissions is now aluminum, not plastic. Several safety improvements plus suction feet to keep the Universal from walking about with heavy dough loads. Very, very pleased with the new model. Again a big impressive WOW that an appliance designed so many years ago is still almost identical today! Says a lot for Bosch and the olden days when companies competed for your business by perfecting their products instead of their advertising or profits. Barry Tate - Barry Tate - 2021-09-21

This week I ordered and received the Bosch Universal Plus machine a replacement for my 25 year old worn out machine. I love the new machine and the best part is all my attachments from my old machine fit the new one. The Bosch is the best machine for mixing bread, buns, and large batches of cookies. I highly recommend it. I have purchased several items from Carol and Pam at healthykitchens.com They are very knowledgeable, have the best prices and shipping is always fast-only one or two days from ordering to delivery. Looking forward to another 25 + years with the Bosch Universal Plus! - Janice - 2020-06-19

I waited a long time before taking the plunge and replacing my ancient Braun KM-32. I have been so pleased wtth the new machine. I think its maximum capacity well exceeds my needs, and I do make breads with pretty heavy doughs and lots of whole grains I am so glad I bought it. The service I got was excellent. I also appreciated the assistance in making sure this was the right machine for me. There was no 'upselling". They made every effort to make sure I was getting the machine i needed, and I think I did! - Gail - 2019-04-06

I have this Bosch Universal mixer for a few years now, it is the best investment for my kitchen. My husband and son always proud that my home baked breads are better than bakeries. This mixer can handle heavy duty like an elephant holds a bamboo tree. Absolutely love it. Jackie from Vancouver BC. - Jackie - 2019-04-01

This is the most reliable and trouble free kitchen machine I know of. I'm a 'from scratch' cook, baker and canner, so my machine sees serious use. The Bosch Universal has been the best workhorse in my kitchen for the last 22 years. It does everything; blending, dough mixing, cookies, grating and shredding. It took me 10 years to wear out my first Bosch. (I did wear it out with seriously heavy use! It was cheaper to buy a new one on sale price than to repair the old one.) My second one needed a motor replaced after 10 years and it's purring beautifully again! - Hilda - 2019-04-01

I purchased this machine 40 years ago and honestly, I can't imagine not having it in my life. I remember Carol demonstrating the machine at the Saanichton fair and was absolutely fascinated seeing what it could do. When a very kind woman loaned me the money, I purchased this machine and the grain mill and am pleased to report, they are both going strong. With 3 kids growing up, the machine got lots of use and still does. - Diane Jensen - 2019-04-01

I believe the Bosch Universal is an exceptional machine. I had previously owned a ‘vintage’ model since the 1980s, so when I decided to upgrade I did a lot of online comparison shopping, thinking I might change to the fancier-looking popular model. The main reason I decided to stick with Bosch is it’s exceptional bread-making capability. It kneads large batches effortlessly and the results are excellent. Clean up is easy, as the finish on the bowl allows doughs to almost slide off, so washing up is quick. I bought mine with a phone call to Healthy Kitchens, whose staff was informative, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! - Clara Cauduro - 2019-04-01

Absolutely love this appliance. I have had it for about 5 years. Make all my own bread, buns., bagels etc. Wish I knew about this appliance years ago. I recommend this to anyone asking. - Darlene - 2019-02-04

I am a little bit worried about writing a review, just in case my luck fails me! I have the older style Universal Bosch and it is either 40 or 41 years old. Still works great! Would not ever want to be without it! My machine is yellowed from years of age and maybe from sitting near a window in its younger years, but that does not affect its performance. Had to replace my bowl about 26 years ago when little hands threw a spoon into it while mixing cookies!! Love my mixer! - Lori - 2019-01-08

I love my Bosch Universal Plus machine. It mixes my yeast doughs so well. For making big batches of cookies, there is nothing better. Love it. - Erna Froese - 2019-01-08

Thirty years ago our small family moved into the BC coastal town of Powell River. The ladies that surrounded me during my time of being a stay at home mother of eventually four children had Bosch mixers. The price was steep for a young family and so I tried to make bread ,as my mother-in-law did by hand. I had the big bowl and beat the dough as best as I could with little ones clinging to me. There were many failed attempts of bread making and lots of heavy garbage bags with uprisen dough. One day when my husband was home sick, there was another attempt of bread making and another failure. This time I marched into the bedroom with my hands on my hip and exclaimed that if you want me to continue to try and make bread than you need to get me a Bosch like Mrs Horton! Sure enough I got the message across and have had my Bosch for 28 years! I have used my Bosch constantly for everything! When I first got my Bosch it walked off the counter when I was not looking and the counter was probably slick with liquid. So you graciously took it in for repairs but I have never had it in for repairs since! I have used it for making bread for our family since and we never buy store bought bread and buns. I use it so much that my future daughter in law has commented on that I am pulling out that machine for everything! Hence we plan to purchase a Bosch for each of our children for their wedding gifts. What other machine would my kids be used to ! They grew up using a Bosch. My daughters had a bread making business in neighbourhood where we lived. Neighbours would see them pulling their wagon with fresh bread and call our to them to come back! So yes, I love my Bosch and have encourage many young moms since to ease their load and purchase a bosch! - Joanne Linzel - 2019-01-08

I love my Bosch Universal Machine! I use it many times a week for making bread, cookies, muffins or icing. I also have quite a few attachments including the blender and shredder that work awesome! Money well spent. - Michelle Snider - 2019-01-08

I did a lot of research before buying our Bosch Universal Plus. The reviews of previous owners showed it was a well built machine with great capabilities. Because our current kitchen cabinets were low and other brands of mixers wouldn’t fit under them it made our decision easier. I am not only happy with how it works but it impresses me that it’s compatible with attachments from previous Bosch mixers as well. Try finding a used one... then try finding a used something else. It’s rare to find one for sale. - Ron Wright - 2019-01-08

My absolute favorite! I've had it for just over 1 year now and still use it at least once a week. Bauern bread is my weekly bread and your challah every other week. Love, love love my Bosch! - hanna bolk - 2019-01-08

I love my Bosch mixer, it is by far the best mixer I have had and I have had a few! I make bread regularly plus lots of other baking. Would highly recommend this powerful machine and love shopping at the store! - Norma Pepper - 2019-01-08

I have had a Bosch machine for 30 Years. I loved the old style but now have the a Bosch Universal Plus and absolutely love it. It is very handy with baking and I love the attachments - Teresa - 2018-12-04

I've had this machine for just over a year now, and absolutely love it! I bake rye breads in it at least once a week . It can actually handle 2 big loaves of Bauern bread quite easily. All I need is the cookie hooks to make it even more wonderful! Love, love it! - hanna bolk - 2018-11-27
