Chez E.Greater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC
A big fan of Breville products but sorely disappointed with this one.
I am an avid home cook and like to make sure I know exactly what is going in the food my children are eating so if I am on the hunt for kitchen accessories to help with the work in cooking then I only look out for the Breville brand and currently have about 2 pantries stocked full of Breville kitchen appliances. I have been very satisfied with every product but THIS machine. I’ve owned 2 BEM800 mixers and used the first one for a good 6 years til it stopped working. The 2nd one is about 5 years old and beginning to show same motor problems but ...Read more
for now aside from showing the E2 error, once I reset the machine it will work again. So being my all time favourite kitchen appliance I thought I could give myself a gift and upgrade to one of the newer models believing new age better technology and standards. Breville really proved me wrong here. I have always held high regard for and never ever been dissatisfied with any Breville products until this machine! Not only am I utterly, utterly disappointed but left fuming the few times I’ve used it. Why? It completely fails at the purpose of what it is built for - MIXING!! There seems to be too much of a gap between the mixing accessories and bowl. This is particularly evident when I tested the BEM800 and BEM825 side by side. I noticed the big differences in how butter is mixed. No grainy sugar residue after 6-7 minutes of beating and 1 manual scrape down with BEM800. Same amount of time with one manual scrape down BEM825 had produced a paler (faster more beaten) consistency only on the surface. There is a 2mm layer of grainy chunky butter sitting against the bowl showing a discrepancy between the beater and bowl. No matter how long or faster I have the machine running, it fails to pick up or get a batch mixed consistently. To the balloon attachment. Again, BEM825 seems to whip and whisk faster than its predecessor however the attachment does not reach enough to the bottom of the bowl. This means I have egg whites or cream that is wet/runny at the bottom while the layer on top is airy/dry. Scraping down is useless since the weight of the liquid would keep it sinking back to the bottom where the whisk won’t reach. This issue does not appear with BEM800 at all. The bowl - it is heavy, no option for the lighter unbreakable stainless steel version and the glass bowl is not dishwasher safe.Purchased in November 2021 for $420.00.

Absolutely love it !
Wanted a stand mixer and narrowed it down to Breville Bakery Boss. Mainly because it’s Australian and any problems can go direct to Breville service centre. Really did want the BEM825 as had the 2 bowls. Very apprehensive considering so many negative reviews concerning the “useless” small metal bowl and ineffective scraper beater. Expecting the worst, 1st thing I beat 2 egg whites and WOW light and fluffy with no residue in the bottom of the metal bowl. Next I creamed butter and sugar with scraper beater . Again WOW amazing. No need to stop and...Read more
scrape down the sides. Did EXACTLY what was promised. Am so relieved, excited and extremely happy with this machine. I just don’t know why others are having issues. I’m not a professional cook/baker but do know my way round the kitchen. Have used it every day for over a week . Made cakes, meringue, bread without 1 single issue. Absolutely love it and highly recommend.

Nice machine but the scraper not great for glass bowl which is not dishwasher safe
My 5yo sunbeam cafe series attachments broke so after much reading & then good sale prices I prevaricated between kMix & BM825. After the Sunbeam's pluses I enjoyed like the Pause I opted for the latter. (In looking at the much desired kMix attachments I thought I didn't need them anyway eg- I'm not going to make sausages). BMs 2nd bowl was desirable & it looked like the beaters were better shaped to the curvature of the glass bowl than the kMix. So got it home & was surprised that with the glass bowl removed from the machine it was the same w...Read more
eight as the sunbeam - 7.5kgs so +ve is it's easy to move around -ve would be whether it would be stable with dough. For first go I made some simple cookies 1/2c butter 1/2 sugar. I found the scraper is no good with the glass bowl. It pushes all the mix up the sides & rattles!! I never had to scrape down in the sunbeam. So while the instruction booklet said do not cream for more than a few minutes it took ages as I had to scrape maybe 10 times. It also rattled - the groove attachment for the scraper is too large so there is too much give and the scraper doesn't scrape the bottom of the bowl effectively. I am so disappointed. I transferred the mix to the smaller metal bowl and the scraper worked as it should though it still rattled. Now most surprising is that in this day and age the glass bowl isn't dishwasher safe - what??!!!! didn't say that on the box and definitely a major negative. In summary -has a timer & pause but it only relates to pausing the timer - you have to manually turn the dial to pause (the Sunbeam's was irrespective of timer - ie during mix could hit it with your elbow to chuck an egg in & hit it again to start) so I feel the BMs is only a half positive. - two bowls - one nice small metal, one large glass - nesting only relates to storage. The glass bowl fine for microwave but not dishwasher safe. Half positive again. - scraper beater is supposed to be optimal with glass bowl w no scraping involved. It actually pushed the mix to the top of the bowl & I had to continually scrape the mixture from. The scraper worked well with small bowl. - the scraper rattled in place but otherwise seemed more sturdy plastic than the Sunbeam -all the attachments seemed more sturdy. - its comparatively light 7.5kg but glass bowl adds weight. So can easily be stored in cupboard. I feel like they have copied good bits from other machines & tried to improve on them but not always successfully.Similar opinion?

Bakery in my house
I had a Breville BEM400 Mixer for 10 years still going strong but felt I needed one of the newer ones. So I chose Breville The Bakery bossBEM825. Used it for the first and my cake was finished and in the oven in half the time beautifully mixed. Dough hook, whisk, flat beater, Scraper beater, spatula. lovely Glass bowl, smaller stainless steel bowl and a light above the beaters. as well as a timer. So professional looking Sour Cherry color pride of my kitchen bench. I gave my other Breville mixer away to a friend who only has a hand held mixer....Read more
Thanks Breville once again. August 5th 2018 Update: Update since 2016 My Bakery Boss BM 825 is now 2 years old I have used the small Stainless steel bowl only in that time and find it has mixed perfectly( I usually mix up cakes, pastry at least twice a week)I have only used the glass bowl about 2 times in 2 years. I admit it is a bit heavy but as I am male can manage it alright. In fact I whipped up 2 egg whites in the small stainless steel bowl just this morning no trouble at all. As the cake recipe required 2 bowls for mixing. I may use the glass bowl a little more frequently now. Thanks Breville.1 comment
