I bought this machine without reading any reviews because until now I have been really happy with Bosch products and wanted my new kitchen to have the best electrical equipment. This machine cannot even cream butter and sugar together using the mixing blade or the whisk, there is no flexible silicon blade available that will fit it. The "food processor" part is a joke, it is flimsy and because of the poor design blocks up each time it is used so a lot of time is spent unblocking it and putting it back together. The vitamizer part is very fli msy plastic, leaks out the bottom and had trouble making a banana smoothie. I am not game enough to try it for anything else. It does not come apart for cleaning. The mincer is awkward and only comes with one die. My cheap and hand mixer and kitchen wiz do a much better job than this machine. I have not used it to make bread because it has so much trouble coping with mixing cake batter. This machine was not made in Germany. Bosch has certainly dropped its quality standards.
The good thing is I was able to cancel my orders for the Bosch dishwasher and oven and will now do extensive research before buying anything else for my new kitchen. An expensive lesson.
