Commercial Mixers Other Than Hobart?
Business By SugarplumStudio Updated 29 May 2007 , 4:01am by Tscookies
Hi everyone,
Multiple KAs aren't cutting it anymore and I need to upgrade to a commercial mixer. The only ones I have ever used are Hobart commercial mixers, which are known for their reliability. However, I'm hesitant to drop $2500 on a very used 20 qt mixer.
Has anyone had any experience with other commercial mixer manufacturers like Anvil or Berkel?
I'd appreciate any information. Thanks!

I have a 10qt anvil its ok.......I have 2 KA but I have to replace them every year.......I think Im going to look into a Viking next.
i got a 30 qt hobart type for 1800.00...it was used, i'm home now....i can't for the life of me remember the brand....
oh, it works great by the way

I can't imagine replacing a mixer every year. Why would you. That sounds so strang to me. Sorry for the ignorance of the comment but it just baffled me.

things that are made for home use just don't hold up for professional use.
i have to buy a blender soon for the frappees i'll soon be offering....i'll have to buy one for professional use....if i even bought a top of the line for home use...it would only last a few months.
one time when i was in the art biz, we bought a black and decker table saw to cut the wood with....the motor gave up after 1 day....got a dewalt, it lasted for years
things made for casual use, just can't take the punishment.
I have a 20qt mixer by Eagle and I love it. I paid about $1650 brand new. Basic functionality - a timer, 3 speeds ... does the job! There was a post a few months back where I mentioned this mixer, and another cc'er responded also in favor of Eagle ... maybe search for the thread if you want to read more info on commercial equipment.
