How to choose
Bowl size and dough capacity
Bowl size decides how much dough fits at once. The Cuisinart holds 14 cups with a dough cup capacity of 4.5 cups of flour, the GE holds 12 cups, and the Ninja and the KitchenAid hold 9 cups each. The Ninja states 2 lbs of dough in as little as 30 seconds, so match the bowl to the batch size before choosing.
Power and speeds
Wattage runs from 240 watts on the KitchenAid to 850 watts on the Ninja, with the GE at 550 watts and the Cuisinart at 600 watts. The GE and the KitchenAid list 3 speeds each, while the Ninja has 3 Auto-iQ preset programs. Higher wattage suits stiffer dough, but the blade matters as much as the motor.
Cleanup and storage
The KitchenAid adds all-in-one storage that holds blades and discs in the bowl with a cord wrap in the base, and the GE adds built-in cord storage. The Cuisinart lists a 14-cup bowl at 17.8 lb, so check counter space and lifting weight before choosing that bowl.
