Review: Bosch MUM52120GB Kitchen Machine

Guest blog by Phill

German manufacturer Bosch have a long reputation for high quality labour saving kitchen and house work devices. I have a Bosch steam generator iron which has given many years of faithful service, despite being in a very hard water area. Their design award winning MUM5 Kitchen Machine range is no exception. The Bosch Styline MUM52120GB food mixer may be the entry point into this range but it’ll definitely help get your cakes Bake Off ready without any compromises.

The modern black and white design makes the food processor look very stylish and conceals a powerful 700 watt motor which is powerful enough to make easy work of shredding, grating, grinding, mixing, pureeing and whatever other day-to-day kitchen demands you can throw in its direction. The 4 speeds are selected using an easy to read dial on the side of the unit.

Supplied dishwasher-safe accessories include a stainless steel dough hook, beater and whisking attachment along with a continuous shredder with 3 discs – reversible slicing disc, reversible shredding disc and a medium-fine grating disc. You can also create soups and smoothies with the blender attachment. The 3.9l stainless steel mixing bowl can cope with up to 20Kg of dough, ensuring the largest mixtures can be tackled.

Click your chosen accessory into the Easy ArmLift and push the arm down to lock it in to one of three drive positions available within the bowl. A touch of a button unlocks the multifunction arm and automatically lifts the arm out of the mixing bowl, so you can replace dough tools with exceptional ease, speed and convenience. The mixer uses an unconventional bowl sweeping motion which Bosch have dubbed “3D Planetary Mixing” – the mixing tool moves in three dimensions at all times ensuring all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. This process also means there won’t be any cake mixture left around the bowl.

When in operation the MUM52120GB is safely stuck to your work surface using rubber suction feet for added stability and when you’re finished, the power cable can retract inside the machine in a way similar to the power cable on a vacuum cleaner. The tools and shredding discs can be neatly packed away in the supplied accessory bag which in turn is designed to fit in the mixing bowl for storage. Neat, efficient and effective – just what a kitchen needs.
