The MagicMill Assistent, better known as the DLX, has been a Swedish secret for over 50 years. An exceptionally strong dough mixer, the Electrolux DLX has an impeccable reputation for long term reliability and quality results whether you're mixing a cake, whipping a meringue, or baking ten loaves of fresh, light, scrumptious bread.
The MagicMill Assistent mixer creates smooth, silky, elastic dough quickly and easily with its unique roller and scraper design. This method effectively mimics kneading by hand, minus the time and effort. As the stainless bowl revolves, the deeply fluted roller of the DLX acts as your fingers, with the scraper mimicking the palm of your hand. The Magic Mill scraper folds the dough with a rhythmic motion while the roller provides a powerful massaging action. Dough comes out smooth and elastic, in large or small batches. Any speed from 40 to 140 RPM can be selected, and an electronic speed sensor automatically adjusts motor torque to the load. A timer is standard equipment, so the DLX will do its work while you do other tasks, stopping when you want it to. The control panel is angled for comfortable use, and the large, backlit timer and speed controls are attractive and easy to read.
The large 8 quart stainless steel bowl of the DLX holds up to 28 cups of flour (7 lbs.), to make approximately 15 lbs. of bread dough (7-10 loaves). The efficient, high-torque 600 watt motor runs smoothly and quietly; coupled with an advanced transmission design, it providing ample power to mix and knead even the largest batch of heavy bread dough without straining. Unlike the Kitchenaid mixers, this mixer will work wonders with your whole grain recipes, without the tear on its motor!
The DLX's whisk beater bowl (which also come with the DLX) will create beautiful meringues, beating up to 18 egg whites (or as few as one) with excellent results. You can also cream butter, margarine and shortening with sugar to the creamiest texture for all your cookie needs. When white bowl is used, it is stationary (unlike the stainless bowl, which turns during use), and the whisks drive from below via a center column in the bowl (the white bowl is shaped something like a bunt cake.) This arrangement provides total access to the top of the DLX bowl, with no overhead motor drive in the way.
The DLX mixer measures 13.5"H x 10.5"W x 15.7"D, weighs only 19 lbs. with stainless bowl. It sits firmly on solid rubber feet, and will not walk on the countertop during use. The entire motor enclosure is made of metal.
The biggest difference between dense, heavy baked goods and the delightfully textured products you want to enjoy is proper development of the gluten in the dough. TheDLX kitchen mixer is unexcelled in its ability to turn out fantastic dough. With the array of available accessories, it offers a myriad of exciting dimensions to your cooking experience. The DLX is a lifetime investment.

I thoroughly enjoy using my DLX for all my baking needs and because of the ease of working with your recipe and the machine doing your work, I find this investment out weighing any bread machine. I love the different things I can do with the optional attachments that go along with the DLX, so be sure to take a look at them!
