We will look into this, thank you!

Thanks for sharing! I just shared the information based on my location and experience, since that’s where the majority of our readers are from. It does sound like the American and European versions are different 🙂

I just want to say that the plastic bowl does not come standard with the Bosch Universal Plus. I see it does in America, but it doesn’t in Europe. Here in Norway, it is only sold with the steel bowl, not the plastic (and for a lower price than the american version). So which bowl that comes standard, depends on the market they are sold in. And our Bosch is 1000 watt, not 800.

And we can’t get the dough hook extender, the cake paddles and the cookie paddles, unless we order it from America (which I did with the dough hook extender, since the Bosch can’t make small batches).

I wonder why the drive shaft should not be fully immersed in water? I have not done that too many times, since I just recently got my machine. But I didn’t know about it, so I have immersed it in water.

Another thing that is strange is that the americans don’t get the dough divider as standard. I don’t have a manual with my machine since I bought it second-hand, but I found a manual online, and it said that the dough divider must be in place every time you use the dough hook. I don’t know what to believe, because the distributor in America says this about the dough divider: “Only works with the Bosch Universal Classic Mixer (NOT Universal Plus)”. So the manual says it must be used, and the american distributor says it can’t be used. Maybe the american and european Bosch are different?

The manual also says to mix ingredients on speed one and knead on speed 3. So I have been kneading speed 3 instead of 1 or 2 after I found out that 3 is the recommended speed.
