My discovery of the BOSCH Kitchen Mixer was accidental. I wasn't looking for a kitchen mixer. Actually I didn't know a wonderful piece of kitchen equipment like that existed as a young homemaker. I did truly desire to make my family's daily bread. It has to taste better than what we were getting at the grocers. The only problem was - when I had tried my hand at baking bread, it was like a brick - something you'd use to weight down a tarp, not anything that could be enjoyed with nut-butter and sweet jam spread between 2 thick slabs - certainly not a loaf my family could heartily "give thanks" for. So we feasted daily on day-old bread (couldn't afford anything else as my large family was devouring about 30 loaves a week!) from the "Sunshine Day Old Bread Store" - not realizing it tasted similar to a mixture of sawdust and white school glue. (Until you taste homemade bread you cannot understand what you are missing out on!)

Our family was at a picnic hosted by some friends. A guest to the picnic arrived with 10 loaves of freshly baked, whole wheat bread on a tray! I was impressed! She didn't look frazzled as if she had been slaving in her kitchen all day...oh yea, she must have bought it and unwrapped it and put it on that tray to impress us all. When we tasted it we knew this was NOT store-bought bread! I had to meet my friend's guest and talk to this lady!

We sat and listened in disbelief as she told us, "Sure, I grind all my own grain and bake 5 loaves at a time." I was picturing her kitchen in my mind while she gaily chatted away about home baking... I was sure she must have a this large miller & baker room built on her house to do all this stuff? She proceeded to tell me about the BOSCH mixer and high-speed grain mill, how easy it was to use, how healthy the bread was, and on and on. We decided then and there - we had to get our own! My husband was telling me all the way home, "Whatever equipment you have to buy to make bread like that -- get it!"

We purchased our BOSCH kitchen mixer and kitchen grain mill that next week. That was over 18 years ago. I've haven't purchased store-bought bread since I became the blessed owner of a BOSCH Mixer. I still marvel every day at this great machine. We use it daily - making homemade milkshakes, fruit smoothies, mixing up cookie dough, BIG batches is a snap!, kneading our daily bread, pound cakes, cole slaw, cinnamon buns. pizza crusts, soft onion sandwich buns and more. There are very few days that pass that our BOSCH mixer doesn't get plugged in and used to help me in my daily kitchen tasks.

The days of old sound so romantic, but I don't know how the women on "The Prairie" did it! Baking bread in a wood cook stove, fetching the water from the creek, churning the butter, stitching & mending by candlelight, and all else they accomplished?? I'm old-fashioned at heart, but I LOVE modern conveniences! This has truly been one of my greatest tools to help me in my job of feeding my family and is so easy to use and reliable and durable even after years of daily use.

Thank you so much for my BOSCH mixer! My KitchenAid finally died and would have cost over $260 to fix.
My sweet husband said I could order the BOSCH and I KNEW I had to order from you. I am a fellow momy from momys.com
and so I placed my order and received my machine right away! Your price was as low as anywhere we checked - local and mail order.
My son made 10 loaves of bread for me today and we ate 4 at lunch!
So, thank you for all you do for homemakers. May you be encouraged in your walk today.
God Bless you, Mrs. B.
