Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.7 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Buffalo GL191

  • Powerful 1.1kW motor that easily handles heavy mixing tasks
  • Large 20-litre capacity suitable for commercial high-volume output
  • Durable full-metal body and robust stainless steel construction
  • Comes with essential heavy-duty attachments (whisk, spiral dough hook, and beater)
  • Includes effective safety features such as a wire safety guard and safety stop function
  • Lever-operated bowl lift makes loading and unloading heavy ingredients efficient

What customers don't like about Buffalo GL191

  • Extremely heavy machine (around 80–92kg), making it difficult to move and position
  • Straight-cut gears can be quite noisy during operation
  • Takes up a significant amount of countertop or bench space due to its commercial footprint
  • Limited to only three manual speed settings

Verdict

The Buffalo GL191 is a heavy-duty commercial planetary mixer featuring a powerful 1.1kW commercial motor, a 20-liter stainless steel bowl, and three fixed speed settings operating at 97, 220, and 316 rpm. Key pros include its high production capacities (handling up to 5kg of flour and 7.5kg of dough), an ergonomic lever-operated bowl lift, durable full metal body construction, safety-enhancing features like a built-in bowl guard with an emergency stop function, and included professional attachments (whisk, beater, and spiral dough hook). However, major cons include its massive weight of 92kg, which limits portability, and its considerable physical dimensions of 794(H) x 558(W) x 558(D) mm, making it less suitable for kitchens with strict space constraints.
