Third-party reviews

What customers like about Bosch Series 4 MUM5X72004

  • Powerful 1000W motor handles heavy tasks like sourdough and yeast dough efficiently
  • Highly convenient integrated scale saves time and reduces extra dishwashing
  • 3D Planetary Mixing system ensures thorough, homogeneous blending without needing frequent side scraping
  • Comes with an excellent, comprehensive kit of accessories including food processor discs, blender, and pastry set
  • Sturdy and stable design anchored by highly effective suction feet that minimize vibration at high speeds
  • Automatic cable rewind feature neatly tucks away the power cord for easy, compact storage
  • Most components and accessories are dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and simple

What customers don't like about Bosch Series 4 MUM5X72004

  • The mixing bowl features a small center bump, making it less practical to use for other kitchen tasks
  • Struggles slightly or slows down when trying to knead cold or soft butter directly into doughs
  • Can feel bulky or take up substantial counter and height space on smaller worktops
  • The scope of delivery is extensive, meaning the multiple attachments require dedicated extra storage space

Verdict

The Bosch Series 4 MUM5X72004 is a versatile, multi-functional stand mixer featuring a powerful 1000 W motor, a 3.9-litre stainless steel bowl with a max dough capacity of 2.7 kg, 7 speed settings, and a 1.25-litre blender attachment. Its main characteristics and pros include an integrated weighing scale for direct measurement in the bowl, 3D Planetary Mixing for even texture, an EasyArmLift mechanism for effortless tool changes, and an extensive professional accessory kit featuring a continuous shredder with 4 interchangeable discs. However, notable cons include a plastic outer housing that can exhibit minor flexing under maximum yeast dough loads and a bulky set of attachments that requires significant kitchen storage space.
