Hobart N50 - A commercial quality mixer
By DrPrepper
This is not a review of the mixer's ability to mix but just addressing it's quality and what you can expect from a mixer of this quality/cost. Anything that must function well with high levels of mechanical stress, be it a mixer, or a bull dozer, must have the proper engineering or it will fail. This is why there is a commercial line of equipment. A commercial kitchen could potentially use a mixer more in a week than most people do in a year. To hold up to that level of use, you have to use quality materials.. In a mixer, that is the frame, the motor, the transmission.. The frame on a N50 is solid. The mixer weighs 46lbs. Without a solid frame to hold things together, the "power" is moot. The motor is rated at a "full load current" of 2.9 amps or (2.8a x 120v) 336 watts... they say it develops 1/6hp... This is how much SUSTAINED power it can develop... Do Not over load any mixer no matter what the quality.. Better quality is just more forgiving. You can't expect to put gr avel in the bowl, and not destroy the motor.. just like you can't expect a "smart car" to pull flat beds of rolled steel... If you keep it within design limits, ( and clean/lubricated ) it will last YEARS of daily constant use... "consumer quality" units can not match the longevity because they are not build with the same quality components.. Because the mixer uses a three speed transmission it lets the motor operate at its full potential at all times. A consumer kitchen aid varies the power to the motor and runs it through a single speed transmission. A less efficient use of power.. The stresses encountered are the same. If a consumer quality mixer held up as well, the food industry would use them instead... Another important factor is maintenance.. The design has changed little for this mixer.. that is good because if you buy a used mixer, and something wears out or breaks.. it can be fixed.. and it will not be cheap... You pay not just for the quality of the unit but for the infrastructure needed to make parts readily available and of the same quality.. You fix it with OEM ( original equipment manufacture's) part and it is "as good as new".. This is why these mixers are so expensive... you do get what you pay for. Is it what you need? How often will you use it, and how much stress will you put on a mixer.. if you only beat egg whites... then it might be overkill unless you mix 24/7/365. If you are going to do heavy doughs and always push your mixer to it's limits.. then you have to figure, do you want multiple consumer mixers or get one that is made for the task. If you are making a living off of your mixer and a day or two down will kill your income... or stated if you can not afford to stop your work because your mixer stopped.. then you might be in need of a commercial quality mixer. Or if you are like me... it's fun to use something of THIS quality, and if I find I don't use it any more, I'll almost get my money back if it is good work ing condition... To me it is an investment in quality with the immediate return of satisfaction, longevity, repair ability, and even holding it's value in resale.. I found one in great shape for $600... I hope this helped give a different perspective when considering what is best for you.
