Is the Sage the Bakery Boss worth it?
Yes — if you'll never want attachments.
It comes with two bowls, a scraper beater, a timer and a bowl light, and owners say it's powerful and fairly quiet. It has no port for pasta or mincer attachments, the beater height can't be adjusted, and it can rock with stiff dough.

What owners say
Owners love its power, quiet running and all the extras in the box. One found it loud and wobbly with bread dough.
Good to know
- No attachment port, so it only mixes, whips and kneads.
- The beater height can't be adjusted.
- It can rock or slide with stiff bread dough.
- The controls sit at the back left, out of easy reach.

How we reached this verdict
Bon Appétit calls it another great option with two bowls, a timer and a light, but no attachment port. America's Test Kitchen recommends it, though its controls sit at the back left, it rocked with stiff dough and the beater height can't be changed. Verified owners at Otto and Harvey Norman praise its power, quiet running and the extras in the box.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
