Hobart

Hobart has a reputation for excellence in the food service industry that stretches back over a century. Now you can bring the professional quality home with their line of stand mixers.

Hobart Stand Mixers

Is the original always the best? It may just be in Hobart’s case. They invented the first mixer in 1908. While technology has changed, their commitment to incredible quality has not.

Legacy Countertop Mixer

Named the Foodservice Best in Class for 2008, the Legacy is the right tool for virtually any kitchen job. The first Hobart mixer to bear the Legacy name was created more than 75 years ago, and it was the first mixer to allow the bowl to swing out. Such a simple change, and yet it instantly made it much easier to add or remove ingredients and change bowls. Today, the Legacy has added a few more tricks to its repertoire.

This Hobart stand mixer features a heavy-duty ½ horsepower motor gear transmission. This means that while the mixer can handle light and airy, it can also tackle heavy and doughy. There are 3 mixed speeds, as well as Shift-on-the-Fly controls for greater precision. The patented soft start Agitation Technology keeps splatter to a minimum, and the stainless steel components are easy to clean. The Legacy is made to be used with large controls, ergonomic swing-out bowl, open base, durable powder coat finish, and array of attachments, including beater, wire whip, scraper, and ingredient chute.

This is a professional-grade 12 or 20 quart with a price tag to match. If you are a serious chef or a rabid enthusiast, you may find this well worth the cost.

N50

Any good stand mixer review will mention Hobart, and their N50 model is a bit less expensive than the Legacy, which opens it up to a broader range of kitchens. It is still pro-quality with a powerful motor meant to take serious use. It features smooth performance thanks to the gear-driven, 3-speed transmission and durable construction.

The N50 is designed to be incredibly user-friendly and simple. It doesn’t take a trained chef to use this mixer – though trained chefs certainly enjoy it. Features that make it a helpful kitchen aid include a large On/Off switch, easy hand lever to raise and lower the bowl, conveniently located controls, and a large 5 quart stainless steel bowl. With handy attachments, including flat beater, wire whip, and dough hook, the N50 is a hardworking mixer that can handle a variety of tasks, big and small.

This is the smallest Hobart stand mixer, but it is by no means inferior to its big brothers. It is also designed to be more at home in the home. While other Hobarts feature that unmistakable brushed grey powder coat finish, you will find the N50 comes in 5 great colors, including plum black, creamy white, berry blue, cherry red, and, yes, Hobart gray.

Legacy Floor Mixer

If you like to make a loaf of bread every now and then, the Legacy Floor Mixer is definitely not for you. If you like to make a few hundred loaves of bread every now and then, or every day, then this industrial brute is a must. It is available in 30, 40, 60, 80, and 140 quart models which makes it ideal for “extreme conditions.” And this is exactly how Hobart tests it: their technical center puts it through the paces to make sure that this mixer has what it takes to keep up with you.

The Legacy Floor Mixer has the characteristic swing-out bowl for incredible ease of use. Mixing even denser dough is a breeze with the Power Bowl Lift Button. Consistent speeds, SmartTimer, and the innovative Shift-on-the-Fly technology make it simple to achieve perfect control of your mixes, which is essential in industrial and commercial settings.

This isn’t a kitchen mixer; it is an investment. Costing about twice what the Legacy Countertop Mixer does (for a 30 quart floor model), this Hobart stand mixer is not a purchase to undertake lightly. Luckily, it is also not a purchase you’ll soon have to repeat. Not only do these machines have extreme durability and long life, they can reduce your labor costs as well.

Spiral Mixer

Making a batch of dough is an easy feat for most, but making dough for endless pizzas, breads, and other staples at bakeries, restaurants, and commissaries is an incredible challenge. Not all mixers can tackle this job reliably. This is where Hobart’s Spiral Mixer comes in to save the day. Available in 180 and 220 pound bowls, the Spiral Mixer makes it easier and quicker to mix dough, get better consistency, and decrease oxidation. You are in control with 2 speeds and programmable timers.

The innovative spinning dough hook, rotating bowl, and accelerated mixing speeds control oxidation: air is the mortal enemy of dough, and standard spiral mixers, this is a very real, very common danger. The process is faster because the mixer can rotate in both directions, under power of the belt-driven motor, giving air less opportunity to attack!

Hobart’s reputation for quality and superiority extends to the Spiral Mixer. It may be more expensive than other industrial mixers, but you are getting a much more reliable piece of machinery that will churn out better quality dough. If your livelihood depends on dough, depend on this Hobart mixer.

Pizza Mixer

Another overachiever from Hobart. This Best in Class winner (2008) features a heavy-duty 2.7 HP variable speed; it can handle big batches and dense dough. As with the Legacy Floor Mixer and other models, this is tested under extreme conditions to make sure it is the most reliable piece of machinery you can own. It is also one of the most effective.

The Pizza Mixer features 2 fixed speeds and SmartTimer for great consistency, as well as Automatic Time Recall, which remembers the last time set for each speed. The swing-out bowl and Hobart Power Bowl Lift make it easy to mix even 60 quart batches. What the Pizza Mixer costs, it well makes up in durability, dependability, and decreased labor costs.

As with other Hobart models, the Pizza Mixer features Shift-on-the-Fly controls, Agitation Technology for soft starts, large, easy-to-reach controls, open base, gear transmission, and a very durable (and Hobart gray) powder coat finish for incredible longevity.

Consistency is crucial when making any type of dough, but it is even more important when you are mixing dough for large quantities of pizza. Not only do you want to churn out high quality dough, you want to churn out high quality dough each and every time. With the Pizza Mixer, you can do this.

If you are shopping for mixers, your stand mixer review undoubtedly includes Hobart; they’re the best. While they are expensive, they will return the favor with long life and tremendous service.
