Third-party reviews

What customers like about Wolf Gourmet WGSM100S

  • Powerful 500-watt motor that effortlessly handles heavy, dense doughs without straining
  • Large 7-quart capacity bowl ideal for big batches and family-sized baking
  • Highly stable design that does not wobble, bounce, or move on the counter during heavy use
  • Quiet and smooth operation compared to other high-performance mixers
  • Infinite variable speed control dial along with a practical pulse function
  • Unique bowl-lift system that effortlessly adjusts and securely locks into place
  • Robust and durable die-cast brushed stainless steel construction
  • Attachments reach the bottom of the bowl effectively, minimizing unmixed ingredients

What customers don't like about Wolf Gourmet WGSM100S

  • Very expensive premium price point compared to similar large stand mixers
  • Large, heavy (nearly 26–29 lbs), and tall footprint that may not fit under standard low cabinets
  • Too large and less efficient for handling small single-batch recipes
  • Need to drop the bowl down in order to change out the mixing paddles
  • Limited availability of optional front-hub specialty attachments
  • Industrial aesthetic may not appeal to users looking for a sleek, stylish appliance
  • Replacement parts, such as an extra bowl, are highly expensive

Verdict

The Wolf Gourmet WGSM100S is a heavy-duty, bowl-lift stand mixer constructed from brushed stainless steel and die-cast metal, featuring a professional-grade 7-quart bowl and a powerful 500-watt motor paired with a robust gearing system that maintains constant speed. Main characteristics and pros include its stable planetary mixing action, a proprietary bowl lift for optimum stability, a specialized magnetized front hub for attachments, and a variable infinite speed dial with a unique pulse function and soft-start technology that effortlessly handles dense bread doughs without shaking. However, notable cons include its very high retail price, its heavy 29-pound weight, a tall 17.6-inch height that may not fit under low upper cabinets, and a limited selection of readily available proprietary hub attachments.
