Hands-on review · Meringue and cake
Verdict
The Bosch MUM Serie 2 is a compact, sturdy all-rounder for meringue and cake dough, but it is loud at top speed and fairly big for small kitchens.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Bosch Series 2 MUMS2ER01

  • Compact and space-saving design ideal for small kitchens
  • Effective 3D planetary mixing that captures ingredients from the bottom and sides of the bowl
  • Affordable entry-level price point
  • Lightweight build making it easy to store away in a cabinet
  • Comes with versatile basic accessories including a pastry set and a continuous slicer
  • Good stability on countertops due to anti-slip suction feet

What customers don't like about Bosch Series 2 MUMS2ER01

  • Basic plastic body construction which may feel less premium to some users
  • The 3.8-litre mixing bowl can be too small for larger families or large batch baking
  • Lacks a pulse function on the control dial
  • The 700-watt motor can struggle or vibrate notably when handling very heavy yeast or pizza doughs
  • No integrated storage compartment or container for the smaller accessory parts

Verdict

The Bosch Series 2 MUMS2ER01 is a compact planetary stand mixer featuring a 700-watt motor, a 3.8-liter stainless steel bowl, and a 4-speed control dial with a manual parking position for easy ingredient filling. Key performance highlights include its 3D Planetary Mixing technology for thorough, hand-like kneading, a bundled 3-piece patisserie set (whisk, stirrer, kneading hook), and a continuous shredder with 3 slicing and grating discs. Users benefit from its lightweight, space-saving design, rubber suction feet for enhanced stability, and high capacity capable of processing up to 2.4 kg of cake batter or 1.7 kg of yeast dough. However, noted drawbacks include the lack of a pulse function, a basic plastic housing design, loud operation at maximum speeds, and limitations when kneading heavy doughs for extended periods.
