CKE WG-B15 Commercial Planetary Food Mixer, 15L, 0.37kW, 3-Speed

Our review

The CKE WG-B15 is a 15-litre planetary mixer aimed at kitchens that have outgrown a domestic machine but are not ready for a heavy industrial unit. Its defining trait is the gear-drive transmission, which trades the belt found on many mixers of this size for direct gearing. In practice that means fewer wear parts and power that holds steady when dough or batter thickens, rather than slipping or fading under load. It suits growing bakeries, restaurant prep sections and catering kitchens running regular batches.
Before buying, think about what you actually mix and how often. Gear-driven machines tend to be heavier and can cost more than belt-driven equivalents, so weigh that against the downtime a worn belt would cause you. Check which bowls, whisks, dough hooks and beater attachments come with the unit, since these are not stated here and matter for daily use. Confirm the power supply your kitchen can provide for a 0.37kW motor, and measure your counter or trolley space for a 15-litre machine. Compare against belt-driven 15-litre mixers on attachment range and build quality, not just headline capacity.
