- Excellent Build Quality: The all-metal construction feels solid and built to withstand daily commercial use.
- Fixed Bowl Design: The bowl doesn't have handles, which can make it slightly awkward to handle.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Cornish Pasty Co. in Truro, Cornwall, was struggling with an old, underpowered mixer that couldn't keep up with their lunchtime rush. They needed an affordable upgrade that offered reliability and consistent performance for their signature pastry dough.
"We were wasting so much time with our old machine. The Buffalo mixer has been brilliant. It powers through our dough mix every morning without any fuss, and the results are identical every time. It’s just solid, reliable kit."
Ben Carter – Owner
Since the switch, the shop has reduced its dough preparation time by 25%, allowing them to increase their daily pasty production to meet growing demand.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Place the mixer on a flat, stable, and non-slip countertop.
- Make sure you leave enough clearance above the unit to raise the mixer head fully.
- Before the first use, wash the bowl and all attachments in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Simply plug into a standard 13A socket and you're ready to go.
Keeping It Going
- Always switch off and unplug the machine before cleaning or changing attachments.
- Wipe the main body with a damp cloth. Never immerse the unit in water.
- To prolong their life, it's best to hand-wash the aluminium attachments and bowl.
- Periodically check that all parts are secure and listen for any unusual sounds during operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this mixer handle heavy bread dough every day?
A: It's excellent for medium-density doughs like pizza or soft rolls. For very heavy, daily bread production, you might consider a larger model with a more powerful motor.
Q: What are the attachments made of?
A: The beater, whisk, and dough hook are all made from strong, food-safe aluminium, designed for commercial use.
Q: Is the 7Ltr bowl dishwasher safe?
A: To ensure the longest possible life for the bowl and its finish, we strongly recommend hand-washing with warm, soapy water.
Q: How noisy is the machine during operation?
A: For a commercial machine, it operates at a reasonable volume. It is more powerful and therefore slightly louder than a standard domestic mixer.
Q: How does the ingredient chute work?
A: The removable funnel sits securely on top of the bowl guard, allowing you to pour in liquids or add dry ingredients safely while the machine is running.
Q: How do I adjust the speed?
A: It uses a simple 'stepless' speed dial. This means you can smoothly transition between speeds for pinpoint accuracy, rather than being limited to set levels.
Q: Is it easy to lift and move for cleaning?
A: At 17kg, it's designed to be stable and robust on the counter. It can be moved by one person for cleaning underneath, but it is not designed to be frequently relocated.
Q: Does the mixer head lock in place?
A: Yes, the head locks securely in both the down (mixing) and up (tilted) positions for safe operation and easy bowl removal.

Explore more from BuffaloWhat is 'Planetary Mixing' and Why Does It Matter?
Ever wondered what 'planetary mixing' actually means? It’s a simple but clever bit of engineering that makes a huge difference to your final product. Instead of the attachment just spinning on the spot, the mixer head itself orbits around the inside of the stationary bowl, all while the attachment spins on its own axis. Think of the Earth spinning as it orbits the Sun – it's the same principle!
This double-action movement ensures the beater, whisk, or dough hook reaches every single part of the bowl – the middle, the bottom, and the sides. This means you don't get those annoying pockets of unmixed flour or butter. The result is a faster, more even, and thoroughly combined mix every single time, without you having to stop and scrape down the bowl. It's the secret behind that professional, lump-free consistency.
Who Should Buy This?
