#1 Several people say it is not good for cake mixes, what is your experience. Thank You
I used the Bosch with a cake mix for the first time last weekend. It turned out great. I used the cake paddles and beat on speed 3 for about two minutes. The pulse feature is good for moistening the dry ingredients in the beginning. After three or four pulses, everything's mixed and ready for beating.
#2 Does it come with a metal bowl and a plastic bowl?
This comes with a plastic bowl only.
#3 are the new bosch mixer of the same quality as the Bosch mixer of 20 years ago?
I didn't own one 20 years ago, but i'm impressed with how well mine runs. Thick cookie dough, kneading sourdough, nothing slows it down, except the cheap plastic paddles. I break about 4-5 each year. But the motor is amazing.
