a mixed bag
this is a solid and well made machine. It has two major shortcomings if you are a breadmaker. First, don't be fooled by the 800 watt motor and industrial lineage. It is no more powerful than the Kitchenaid 600 Watt machine. It can't handle a double recipe of bagel dough or even a single recipe for Challah, both of which are rather stiff doughs. Such routine loads trip the circuit breaker and the machine stops cold. SECOND, the dough hook that comes with the machine is a disaster. It is too narrow and stays way clear of the edges of the bowl. Rather than mix well, it mushes the wet stuff in the middle leaving a rim of flour along the bowl. I have to constantly stop the mixing and scoop the material on the bowl into the hook. This is not the case with the KitchenAid. If you are looking for a machine that can move the stiff doughs and mix them thoroughly, AVOID THIS MACHINE.
Globe and KitchenAid are like night and day
You don't even have to turn it on to see the difference in quality between these two machines. Open it up (if you can) look inside and there is another level of proof. But turn it on and use it, that will be the all the proof anyone could possibly need. The Globe is a ten thousand times better machine.
