CKE WG-B30 Commercial Planetary Mixer, 1.5kW, 30L

Our review

The CKE WG-B30 is a gear-driven planetary mixer with a 1.5-kilowatt motor and a 30-litre bowl, offered in three speeds. It is aimed at medium-sized bakeries, large restaurants and professional catering operations that mix repeatedly through the day, rather than home bakers or small cafes with occasional batches. Because the drive is gear-driven rather than belt-driven, it is the type of machine to consider when you want consistent torque under stiff doughs and long mixing sessions. Before buying, confirm the bowl capacity matches your typical batch size, check that the voltage and plug type suit your kitchen, and ask about the attachments included, since a planetary mixer is only as useful as the whisk, beater and dough hook that come with it. Compare it against other 30-litre planetary mixers on motor power, drive type and build quality, and weigh whether a 1.5kW unit gives you enough headroom for your heaviest dough. It is available on Sokonia.
