since you haven't had any answers....I will tell you that I never saw the model you mentioned, but I do have a Bosch mixer with a blender and it is one amazing machine. Works great...I use it to make five loaves of whole wheat bread at a time. It kneads the dough.

Thank you for the reply, Marc_ia. I did a big family and friends pizza night a couple of weeks ago and needed to make a lot of dough. My Kitchenaid was driving me crazy with the dough climbing the hook, so I pulled out my Braun multisystem and was using that to mix up several smaller batches. Unfortunately, I overstressed the dough hook on the Braun and broke it. But before it broke, I marveled at how much easier it is to deal with a mixer that does not have a huge drive head in the way. So I went looking on the internet and found that the Bosch built-in Concept models were going the way of the Great Auk but could be had for cheap ($599 for the mixer with stainless steel bowl and stainless blender attachment tossed in.) Anyway, it has arrived but I haven't cut the countertop out for the install yet. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I tried the blender out on a big batch of New Mexico red chile a couple of nights ago and the performance was amazing. It is the first time, ever, that I have made a batch of red without having some kind of an explosion and mess during the blending process.

yes the blender is truly amazing. The only thing i don't like about mine is the blade part gets a little pitted - it seems like it should be made of something better. maybe yours is though and they have improved that. The other thing is they say to wash it after use you can just blend some soapy water. I did that some and boy did i grow some black mold. When I realized that, I take it apart everytime and actually wash the parts. Hope you love it. It is the winner for dough for sure.

hi movajean--did you end up installing the in-counter mixer? how did you like it? found a brand-new one for $100 on craigslist but i'm scared to cut a hole in the granite because it can't be replaced since they are discontinued!

Hi Shannon - I own this bosch 7000 built in. I really like and use it quite a bit but I broke the blade lodging on the aluminum blender and I am trying to find a replacement. I love the idea of NOT have a lot stuff on my counter so I really like this. I have had for 7 years now.
