Bosch Introduces a New Powerful Member to its Kitchen Machine Family

September 17, 2007 – For more than five decades, premium manufacturer Bosch home appliances – part of BSH Home Appliances Corporation – has been perfecting its revolutionary countertop appliances, and now unveils its most versatile “secret weapon” for the kitchen: the “Universal Plus” Kitchen Machine. As the newest member to Bosch’s family of high performance small appliances, the Universal Plus is the ultimate stand mixer that offers high performance, multiple safety features and a striking new modern design. Having added a powerful 800-watt motor and an upgraded version of its legendary automatic transmission drive system, the Universal Plus is leading the next generation of Bosch Kitchen Machines that combine multiple countertop appliances into one easy-to-use unit.

“The advent of the Bosch Kitchen Machine over fifty years ago created a whole new way of thinking about countertop appliances,” said Steve Fox, director of Bosch consumer products. “Today, the versatility and power of our Kitchen Machines combine the capabilities of numerous individual appliances – like blenders, mixers, food processors and more – offering home chefs a smart investment.”

Bosch’s new Universal Plus Kitchen Machine brings increased performance to the kitchen counter. With one of the most powerful motors in its class – a remarkably quiet and efficient 800-watts of power – the Universal Plus is capable of delivering precise results for the most intricate recipes. It offers a wide range of 4 speed settings, plus a pulse function, that is all accessible via an easy-to-use knob and can tackle any cooking preparation need. In addition, the kitchen machine’s advanced bottom-drive automatic transmission extends the motor’s life by 4 times, resulting in one of the longest life spans for kitchen machines in the world and ensuring the Universal Plus will be around to aid chefs for years to come.

The Universal Plus Kitchen Machine debuts an all-new modern design, making it as stylish as it is useful. A European-inspired base complemented with smoke grey metallic elements perfectly complements the Universal Plus' design. No task is too big, or too small, with the large and easy-to-grip 6.5 quart bowl. From a single egg white whipped to perfection to kneading over 15 pounds of bread dough, the Universal Plus can handle it all – while suction feet built into the base of the unit offers maximum stability while in use. Offering the ultimate in versatility, the Universal Plus is compatible with a wide assortment of accessories, including accessories from the existing MUM6 Kitchen Machine Series. Whether you need a meat grinder, food processor, blender, or even a juicer, the Universal Plus is a multi-function kitchen machine. Cleaning is just as easy as preparing food, with removable dishwasher safe parts and accessories.

The Bosch Universal Plus Kitchen Machine is the chef’s ultimate “secret weapon” in the kitchen. The Universal Plus Kitchen Machine is available by contacting KitchenResources.com or 1-800-MyBosch, as well as other online and select appliance retailers, for an MSRP of $459.
