Third-party reviews

What customers like about Metro Professional GPM1020P

  • High mixing capacity (handles up to 5 kg of dry flour or 8 kg of dough)
  • Robust and durable construction with a cast iron body and stainless steel bowl
  • Powerful 1100 W gear-driven motor
  • Relatively quiet operation for its commercial power class (under 60 dB)
  • Includes essential commercial accessories (stainless steel whisk, cast aluminium dough hook, and mixing paddle)
  • Reliable safety features, including overload protection, bowl locking mechanism, and a permanent safety guard

What customers don't like about Metro Professional GPM1020P

  • Extremely heavy and difficult to move or store (net weight of 64 kg)
  • Large physical footprint (56 x 52 x 76 cm), requiring substantial counter space
  • Limited speed settings with only 3 mechanical speeds available
  • The fixed, non-removable safety guard can make adding ingredients or cleaning more restrictive
  • Demands regular mechanical maintenance, including greasing the internal gears and lift mechanism every 6 months

Verdict

The METRO Professional GPM1020P is a heavy-duty commercial planetary stand mixer featuring a robust gear-driven 1100W motor, a spacious 20-litre capacity, and 3 mechanical speed settings operating at 42, 96, and 138 RPM. Built for demanding kitchen tasks, its sturdy cast-iron body houses an impressive mixing capacity capable of handling up to 5 kg of dry flour or 8 kg of dense dough. Major advantages include high durability from its 304 stainless steel bowl and professional attachments, enhanced operator safety via integrated overload protection and a secure bowl-lift locking mechanism, and a remarkably quiet operation measured under 60 dB. However, its substantial 64 kg net weight makes it highly immobile, its non-removable safety guard can hinder easy cleaning or ingredient additions, and the heavy unit takes up considerable space with footprint dimensions of 560 x 520 x 760 mm.
