Breville Bakery Chef review

Breville's Bakery Chef ranks first because it covers more of a home baker's needs out of the box than any other mixer here at $449.95. The 550W motor drives 100% metal gears, and Breville says it can handle heavy dough and batters over longer periods. The integrated timer stops the mixer at the set duration, which helps avoid overwhipped cream, and a lamp lights the bowl so you can see texture changes. Breville includes a 5Qt borosilicate glass bowl and a second 4Qt stainless steel bowl, plus a scraper beater whose flexible edge wipes the bowl as it turns; Breville says it cuts mixing time by 60% compared with its previous models. The body is die cast metal. The trade-offs: the main bowl is glass, and Breville does not list a power hub for pasta or grinding attachments, so KitchenAid or Hamilton Beach Professional suit bakers who want those. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run mixing tests.
