Birko Kitchen Mixer 1005004

waste of money – machine has very little power, really struggles with small batches of brioche..i wouldn't bother trying to make bread in it. Probably the only thing i can use it for is making cakes, complete waste of money Show details

It was the best mixer for my cafe. I had it for 4 yrs running my cafe and still was amazing. Heavy item – I used to make big batches of heavy carrot cake mix and had nuts in the mix and it powered through. Show details

Best Mixer ever – The Birko Mixer is the best machine that can handle any tough mixing.

So if you mix too much stiff dough and it stops working, no worries - it is the easiest and quickest fix you will ever see!
