Description

Been making pizza dough in the `Bimby` for the past few months and the results have been _decent_. (no complaints)
But ... the maximum capacity is relatively small (1.4 litres) and it's not purpose-built for the task.
The dough is under-kneaded because it uses blender blades ...
If we want to make pizza for more than 4 people we have to make it in multiple batches; again not the end-of-the world ...
But it comes back to the fact that the `Bimby` uses `blades` not a `dough hook` so the dough ends up "flat".

The stand mixer I _want_ is the `KitchenAid Artisan` (usually around the `$500` price point):

But _really_ cannot justify paying `€400+` for a single-purpose device ... 💭

The `Ufesa Elite` _considerably_ more affordable and gets us `95%` of the benefits for _less_ than 1/3 of the cost!

Saldy, Amazon aggregates the reviews from the cheaper models into one listing so it's deceptive.

The reviews for the `Elite` model are all 5-stars except for _one_ person giving it 4 stars for the noise... 🙉
It's a machine with a motor. What were they expecting? 🤷‍♂️

The `BlackFriday` price was **`€82.64`**:

In addition to using this for making _much_ better Pizza Dough, I expect to use it for bread, Soufflé, mash potato etc.
Yes, we have a "hand beater" ... but wouldn't you prefer to get on with something `else` while the machine does the work? 💭

All the important bits (bowl and inserts) are stainless steel and easy to clean / dishwasher safe.
`Black` matches our other appliances (airfryer, instant pot, toaster, etc.)
