All of those attachments came with my Bosch Universal Plus Mixer. I did order a few other things like bowl scraper and I do use that everytime I use the mixer.

I'm not sure, we bought ours a while ago and it did come with the cookie paddles and metal whip drive but we never use them since we do those tasks in our Kitchen-Aid.

I believe that this is the better option. I love my KitchenAid mixer, but sometimes it even strains when mixing extra thick cookie dough. I have used this grinder many times and the motor is more than powerful enough, and is very durable. When you consider the cost of the KitchenAid attachment, this really isn't that much more.

There really is no difference. I think this one works best for the cake ball machine. The only difference, this one has a smaller pouring spout, not by much though!

I called the company. The 31199XR is made with different components than the 31199R but they could not tell me what that difference is. She said the difference between the 31197R and 31199R is cosmetic. I am having trouble finding what accessories come with the 31199R, the Amazon details say there are 2 baking pans for the 31199R. The 31197R says one pan but the product manual (link in Amazon description) shows a bake pan and a pizza pan. So I am not sure about accessories, the wording implies that the 31199R has an extra bake pan. I called HB again and she said that the accessories depend on the seller, at this point I think the 2 models have the same accessories with the 31199R having an extra bake pan. Based on the photos, the 31199R has a curved door and chrome front. The finish on the top and sides of the 31199R is more shiny, I assume they are both metal and it is just different paint.

I do believe that they are the same. 1.3 H.P. DC Motor which Is I understand it uses a gear drive mechanism. Believe it or not the next step up is a Hobart 5 Qt. mixer with a 1/3 H.P motor. I am not sure why the motors are rated like this. Last I knew the Hobart used bely drive and still has to be turned off to switch gears of which there are only three. It will however low through just about anything without complaint all day every day. Bagel dough is one of the hardest doughs on a mixer. I wouldn't recommend using this as the primary mixer in a Bagel Shop, but other than that the Hobart 5 Qt. is a classic beast of a machine and you will find that the 3 speeds are all you really knead:) The only issue is the cost. you can buy 3 Kitchen Aid mixers for the price of one Hobart 5-quart. So I guess it would all depend on what you do with the mixer and how often you do it. Hobart mixers go up in size to the point where you could fit a person in the mixing bowl. Even though the Kitchen Aid says it is "Commercial" it isn't really when put up against the same size of Hobart mixer (same manufacturer, Hobart Corp makes Kitchen Aid). So decide on how much money you want to spend and get the Hobart if you can do so without putting to much strain on your pocket, you will not be sorry. I have used them in Commercial Kitchens for 30+ years and they are the standard by which all other mixers are measured. Although other manufacturers make soma great mixers to be sure, it is my opinion that there is nothing like a Hobart mixer for function and day in and day out durability. Hobart's are also easy to get parts for and fix if some does ever go wrong. You can also look into used/refurbished Hobart's without much worry as to their ability as long as they are bought by a Certified Hobart Reseller or someone you trust and who knows the history of the machine. Best of luck and happy mixing...

They appear to be the exact same same item. Since we only have the spin disc I am not positive but it is possibly a "re-branding" of the spin disc. Unless they updated the internal parts. From the outside it looks identical.

Hi Peggy, If you are talking about the center pegged rod attached to the bowl for the attachments, then yes it does and all of my old attachments have worked great. If you mean the actual whip attachments then no it does not come with those. If you have an old whip attachment that will work perfectly. If you are ordering a new whip attachment, just make sure it works with the older Universal, and not just the Universal Plus. My Bosch is about 20 years old, so I really have to make sure that the parts I order work with the older models, as the parts are so expensive (but totally worth it). This new bowl has made my Bosch like new again!!

If you are just wanting a mixer that makes smaller batches of bread, cookies, cakes, etc. then the residential model is the way to go. I purchased my commercial mixer in April and I am loving it. It is a bigger mixer and can handle larger batches of bread dough. I can attest that it makes wonderful bread. I don't have to hand knead anymore!

I think one difference might be the amount of ice cream it makes. The model I chose makes 2 quarts (almost). Depends on the recipe. I am not sure the specs on the other or the price and can't tell you the difference being worth it. Sorry. I love this one. I did find not to turn on the cooling with the beater. That causes the first ice cream into the machine to freeze on the bottom of the bowl prior to the other and hard to remove. Turn on the beater and then add the ice cream then after a minute or so turn on the cooler button.

Absolutely not. I just love my Bosch. I, too, have a Kitchen Aid with a steel bowl, but it only mixes about 2 loaves. My Bosch mixes about 5 to 6 loaves, plus it has a transmission for the heavier mixing. The Bosch is far superior to Kitchen Aid in mixing bread. The Bowl is so easy to clean,--my niece has had her Bosch for 22 yrs and no sign of cracking whatsoever.

Hello, Have reviews on both models on Amazon. Had a bunch of trouble with the standard model, and no trouble with version 2. The version 2 has a lot more metal parts in the rotor head and tail, and digital tail servo which is much more responsive. Please see both reviews. So far I would say the version 2 is worth the extra money. Good day!

I have the same mixer. I looked at Mackie's website and it's the same mixer. I like it and it works well for me.

Good question - it's hard to tell from the descriptions. I've used both. The DLC-10 comes with a dough blade, an additional flat (non-pusher) cover, and an instuctional video. I rarely use those items - when I bake, I don't knead dough in a machine, and it's just as easy to pour liquids in through the standard pusher cover. The video is well-made and helpful, but only if you've never used a Cuisinart before. All of that one could tell mostly just by looking at the pictures, but the main two SIGNIFICANT differences are the pusher cover; and the way the accessory blades are used. First, the cover on the DLC-5 has a wide hole; the DLC-10 has a 2-in-1 design with a large AND small hole - so that, for example, one can slice one carrot in the DLC-10, but not as easily or cleanly in the DLC-5. It would tend to move around and result in uneven slices. Second, the way the blades attach in the DLC-10 is a tiny bit more complicated, but makes them much more suitable for heavier-duty use. Also, because of this design, the DLC-10 can use the dozen or more standard accessory discs, but the DLC-5 can use only the two discs made specifically for it (although one could certainly buy the $10 adapter stem to use the others). Bottom line: the DLC-10 is slightly more complex, but more flexible in use and more expandable, and comes with more accessories. The respective models are the exact SAME price (at least today!), so I'd definitely get the DLC-10. (The DLC-10 I bought over 15 years ago and use every day is still working perfectly, so I don't need a new one yet!)

To be honest I don't know what differences there are between the models. But what I can tell you is that I am very happy with my purchase. I used it to make a wedding cake last March. It handled the 14 inch round 4 inch high cake with no problems. I would buy this cake stand agian in a heart beat. Sorry I can't be anymore help then that. :)

Virtually identical in function. However, the plus has a different body, an handle and a pour spout. Convenience and look are different, but the whipping/frother should be the same. If this helped, please check yes below! Thank you.

According to the website, its just different packaging. The tool is the same in either case, go with whichever is cheaper

My best guess is that the 796 is an older version of the 799 - slightly different designs, but essentially the same (799 has the extra cutter plate, and the pushers are different design). They are designed in Germany, manufactured in Europe (Hungary), and designed to mount on front of all KitchenAid mixers - both are a huge improvement over the KA (plastic) item. The extra blade(s) can be stored inside the pusher top.
