This should last a loooog time
After considering several Mixers (Kenwood, Kitchenaid, etc) I decided to go with Breville BEM800 as it seemed good value for money. However, I was not happy with it. After a few use it seems to get noisy and also shake a lot. Maybe I got a dud or perhaps that’s just how it’s designed. After reporting my concerns to Breville I was advised to exchange it for a new one as I had only just purchased the item. I too it back to The Good Guys and they agreed to swap it over for a new one. But I never felt confident the BEM800 would last the distance so...Read more
I paid an extra about $200 to get the BEM825. I was really happy I made this decision. I feel I really got a lot for the extra $200+. Not only I got a mixed with a more powerful motor, but this model has all metal gears, a more sturdy construction (no shaking) and you get a few extra accessories too. And of course this model gives me the peace of mind that it may actually last a long time. I have used it several time over the last few weeks and I absolutely love it. I feel I could not have bought a better mixer. Granted the BEM825 does not have the features for add on additional functionalities (like Kenwood or Kitchenaid does for a similar priced model) but I just wanted a good quality mixer that I felt was built for the job and I feel I got what I wanted in the Breville BEM825. I highly recommend this model if anybody is considering buying a quality mixer.1 comment

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.

Questions & Answers
P.F.asked
Can anyone tell me the weight of the glass bowl please? - I have a disability in which my hands are affected and I'm not able to head into a store to check it out. (Due to having a compromised immune system my drs are making me stay put in the house other than for medical/hospital appts, so I'm not likely to be able to get to a store any time soon to get a feel for it until the COVID-19 concerns ease up.) The glass bowl is my main hesitation so far in buying the newer model (BEM823) online right now as I've only used stainless steel bowls so far. And can you purchase a stainless steel bowl separately that works well with all the whisk, beater, etc attachments and what is the bowl's capacity and does it have a handle? I've read that with the BEM825 there were issues with tool attachments, etc not working well in the second stainless steel bowl. Many thanks!!

Hi PF - the glass bowl is very heavy and does take a bit of hand / wrist strength to lift. It does have a handle but I still think you may struggle - naturally it needs to be robust for beaters whizzing around in it so is made of thick glass. Wishing you all the best & hope you stay well in this uncertain climate - kind regards Kaye.
The bowl will be more than 2kg. My kitchen scales only go to 2kg and it’s got the error on it to say that it’s too heavy for measure.
Hi Kaye and Madeline. Thank you so much for your replies - very helpful info! Thanks Kaye for the well wishes. Wow, I hope your scale still works, Madeline. I guess I'm scrapping The Bakery Boss off my shortlist, which is a shame as I really liked it's overall features that would help with lessening the burden on some of the other aspects of my disability and chronic illnesses as well....if only the scraper pro twin hadn't been discontinued. I guess it's down to the Kenwood Chef Senser / Senser XL and KitchenAid Artisan. I'd prefer the Kenwood but I think the KitchenAid bowl will be easier to handle....Shall think on it for a few days. Thanks again, and I hope that you and your families are also able to remain well throughout this ongoing COVID uncertainty. Cheers, Priya :-)
Just wanting to know how loud the mixer is compared to others? As my kids are afraid of how loud my mixer I have no is.. so needing something much quieter! Thanks

Is there a small bowl and whisk compatible with the Ben 825bal to whisk cream and small amounts.

No. This machine's whisk does not reach the bottom of the bowl at all, so only larger amounts can be worked with. I couldn't whisk 4 egg whites for a pavlova. Breville's response - use a hand whisk.
