Is it good for kneading dough?

I haven't used it for dough yet, however I think it is powerful enough for that purpose. I do not have dough hooks with mine.

This mixer is not designed for kneading dough, however, it can be used for easy mixing of dough, eggs, cream, mayonnaise and formixing or stirring sauces and pudding powders.

I have never tried bread dough in a food processor, only in a mixer with dough hook. Since you must stop and let the processor motor cool for one minute after every minute of processing, I have doubts as to trying to knead dough. The processor works so quickly, I've rarely had to run it for more than a minute to complete any cutting or grating task.

Yes! We use it weekly for pizza dough. Just use the recipe in the book or write to me and I will give you the one we use. I also make Honey Oat bread on the dough cycle (number 7 on my breadmaker) and bake it in my regular oven for a different shape loaf.

No it doesn't. It slices the dough rather than knead it. For bread dough you need a dough hook.

I've kneaded bread dough with my mixer twice and it has worked perfectly. I wonder if you might not have the dough hook inserted properly. The dough needs to be the right consistency, of course, so it's important to add flour to make it so. I had stopped making bread because I have arthritis and the kneading would cause such pain. I LOVE the dough hook on this machine and am so happy to be able to make bread again!!!

Yes! I am not sure I would try it on bread dough...but it does not come with dough hooks anyway.

Yes it kneads dough. You have to use warm ingredients otherwise the yeast doesn't rise. Check a yeast recipe for the recommended temp.Don't use more than 4 cups of flour. I tried 5 cups but it stalled the machine. The unit does not come with a dough blade. You use the sharp s blade.

I use it all the time to make dough for one pizza (following the Cooks Illustrated recipe). It is small, but enough for me. I find that not having a dough blade doesn't matter that much in this case.

I ordered it because I wanted to mix my bread dough but honestly i would not recommend it for that. It's good for regular cake dough but when the dough is heavy like for the bread one, the dough instead of mixing is sticking...

The mixer will work for lower volume dough but not as well because it is designed for large batches. I used it to make pizza dough, only using a total of 4 c. My experience is it just takes a bit more time to get the dough thoroughly mixed before it really starts kneading it. Hope this helps.

It will be fine for the Lahey no knead. You just need to properly flour the banneton. I've used it for much higher hydration dough, and I have no problem getting the dough out.

This machine is made for chopping and shredding veggies and making hamburger, chicken salad and such . I believe bread dough would be too heavy a task and most probably would burn out t he processor. I would advise against it.

Yes , it does a real good job kneading bread dough ,and you do not have to scrape the edge of the bowl

Yes. Good non stick. The little mixer paddle sometimes needs a pipe cleaner to get inside it where dough gets stuck. But its easy!

Yes, it is great for whipping cream, eggs, etc. It is much better than the KA at incorporating air when whipping. The only drawback is that it is not good at handling small quantities (>1lb) of high hydration bread doughs.

I would have to say, No. I wouldn't recommend this mixer for bread dough or anything else for that matter. It just stopped working on me and I found a lot of other people who had the same experience. I went and bought a Kenmore hand mixer from Sears for much less $$ and it is still working great.
