Bosch food processor - cuts into cubes!

Good day! Everyone has read a lot from you, thanks for the reviews, they helped a lot! I also bought Boshik! I am very satisfied, only I could not turn it on the first time, but the problem was not closed well, so it did not turn on. I tried the attachments, everything is ok! He cuts cabbage so cool .... and cuts well with cubes too ... Generally class !!! I advise everyone!!!! Doesn't scratch me

It seems that because of Boshik I will soon forget how to cut vegetables with a knife. Even when I had to cut a couple of onions into rings or half rings, I could not bring myself to do it with a knife. It's a BOW! As I presented the process, I realized that it is easier to wash the combine than to cut the onion by hand.

But tell me, the better to knead the dough for pies - with a knife or a hook?
for a bread machine, a very large load will turn out, and it makes no sense to drive it 4 times)))

IMHO, after all, if you have a hook, it's better with a hook.

Good day to all! I would like to share some experience. I bought 5540 and ordered additional attachments for it - a cube cutter, etc. Conclusions:
1. The cube cutter definitely fits perfectly on 5540!
2. The bowls at 5540 and 5529 (which with a cube) are ABSOLUTELY THE SAME !!! (at least for combines produced in 2009 and later). I know because, along with the cube cutter, they also sent me a bowl to 5529. Close examination and subsequent operation showed complete identity!
3. All additional attachments were purchased from VneshRemTorg LLC. I just went to the site and emailed zakaz @ zapchasti - everything I need. I am very pleased with communication with this company. Everything was sent very quickly, all issues are resolved promptly, they send whatever you want (I, in particular, ordered a couple more silicone gaskets, about which they often wrote in this discussion that they were torn). In general, I recommend these guys to everyone who is looking for additional things to Boshiks. (I'll make a reservation right away - I'm a user and a customer, not an empty advertiser!).

So Vneshremtorg was the most expensive, and they persistently tried to sip me a cup (like mine would not work), although they knew that the cups were compatible (they say this is the company's policy). So I don't go there. I found myself a center with normal prices and delivery times and did not impose unnecessary goods on me.

Share the address! And I haven't found it cheaper yet. By the way, about the cup - I had the same crap, I figured out what the trick is. The fact is that on the earlier 5540 models there are no notches in the middle of the bowl, and therefore the cube cutter does not fit well. Therefore, they send the cup. And that's why I have two of them now and I know all this now! ... In the new 5540 models, this difference was eliminated, and now everything is the same. The company has now dealt with this (not without my persistent help)

When I set out to combine the 5530 and the cube cutter nozzle, I phoned the service centers about prices. So Vneshremtorg was the most expensive, and they persistently tried to sip me a cup (like mine would not work), although they knew that the cups were compatible (they say this is the company's policy). So I don't go there. I found myself a center with normal prices and delivery times and did not impose unnecessary goods on me.

Loparrr, I have not found silicone pads on this site. And this is still the only thing I need from them. Or do they not send such a trifle separately?

[Loparrr]

Loparrr, I have not found silicone pads on this site. And this is still the only thing I need from them. Or do they not send such a trifle separately?

Gasket and everything else I found - Catalogs of spare parts and accessories, Bosch - and are looking for what you need. There, dialing the number 5529, I found a pad. I sent the screenshot to them by mail. And - no problem! Separately - they send!

Thank you, of course I would not want to tape tape to a new thing ....... is 800 power enough? The harvester seems to be jumping with her)))))

The harvester does not jump. It may vibrate slightly (I kneaded yeast dough). Meat is easy to chop.
About the blender. Having read that the lid was coming off, I began to open it especially delicately. I've done a milkshake with a banana twice. So far, everything is fine. Wow! In general, I have not tried only the whisk.

today I finally received my cube-cutter attachment for msm5530 / 01 sat perfectly, as it was born there

immediately crumbled Olivier to say that I am delighted - to say nothing! this is something - in 1.5 minutes a bowl of salad, which is very pleasing - I have no waste left (there was one hooked piece of cucumber that rolled in a circle, so I put it on the grate and pushed it to his brothers with a pusher). yes, and I remembered, someone said that you have to crush the soft first, and then the harder one - that is, eggs, then potatoes-carrots, then sausage and cucumbers. this is correct, otherwise I had to try to push the potatoes with myself

in a word, I was very pleased with the attachment

it got worse for me. Now the latch, where the blender is, does not snap at all. Eh, you'll have to wrap it up with tape.

it got worse for me. Now the latch, where the blender is, does not snap at all. Eh, you'll have to wrap it up with tape.

But still, I feel that Bosch will come up with something with this cover. In the reviews on Yandex, a person writes: "Gorgeous harvester! If it hadn't broken down ..... I'll add .... brought it from repair .... Also the blender lid, but somehow the contact has moved very much ... Servesny center clogged with combines of the Bosch MCM series, basically everyone has a problem with the blender lids .... "

And since the service is packed, it means they ALREADY know about the problem! In general, can anyone have such a problem in the service after all carry their Bosch?

In the reviews on Yandex I read that there is a centrifugal juicer in the additional attachments. Does anyone know what this is? Do you have any experience with this?

In the reviews on Yandex I read that there is a centrifugal juicer in the additional attachments. Does anyone know what this is? Do you have any experience of using it?

You confused the model, this is a centrifugal juicer in the 5540, the cube has only a citrus juicer in the kit.

There is a juicer at 5530.5540. It squeezes out, but it's better to have a normal one, since everything is made of plastic on the unit.

I wanted to buy a juicer in addition to 5529. Is it compatible? Sold separately? I wonder how much it costs, or maybe the skin is not worth the candle, and it's really better to buy a juicer separately. It's just that our kitchen is small, so you want it all in one

The 5530.5540 has 4 speeds, and the 5529 has only 2. It may not be enough revolutions, although the fick knows if the 2nd speed on the cube is like 4th or 3rd on 5540.30. Dap should be found out from servicemen (phone numbers, addresses and ordering methods have already been described).

And my combine stopped working the day before yesterday. Chopped cabbage, grated carrots. Everything was fine. After a couple of minutes I wanted to cut some more cabbage, but the combine does not turn on. I rechecked everything, washed it, folded it - again nothing. Today, if I have time to go to take it in for repair. It's a shame. After all, only a month and 9 days I used it. But I'm used to it now, as if without hands

Most likely, like many others, the lid that covers the nest for the blender comes off - it is worth pressing this lid and the combine will work again. This is the disease of this combine, as we have already found out in this topic.

[Anastasia]

Anastasia I also tried to press the lid, keeping in mind that many wrote about it. Unfortunately, it didn't help.

[Strong]

Today I collected the harvester so that my husband took it to the service, let me think I'll check it again. Strong pressed the lid on the blender compartment and the unit started working. So I have the same problem as many. thanks again Anastasia and to everyone who described this breakdown. I just didn’t think that it was necessary to press the lid so hard, because it didn’t stick out, didn’t move away, I used the blender 2 times. Do you think it is not worth doing something because of this? And how do you fix the lid (with tape)?

Do you think it is not worth doing something because of this? And how do you fix the lid (with tape)?

It is difficult to advise something - all of a sudden, the services have already learned how to fix it somehow radically, but we don't know this here, after all, none of our users have unsubscribed about the repair in the service! Maybe there are already caps from other models, from those from whom it does not depart. And if they change the awl for soap, then it's not worth carrying. Maybe you can find out somehow by phone in the service?

Hello everyone! I want to express my deep gratitude to Anastasia for acquiring this miracle. One evening I decided to buy a blender to make soup-puree .. then my 3-month-old daughter is still growing, maybe .. it will come in handy .. I told my mother about it (Mlava) and she found me a combine with cubes .. Honestly speaking, I had no idea that cutting into cubes can be so magical :) Thank you very much Anastasia! I bought it, showed it to my mother, and my mother bought it on the trail. day is the same! We are happy! Thank you very much for the site, for Temko, for the answers. The disc, unfortunately, scratches .. but it's nothing .. we'll break through .. I did as my mother recommended (about the gasket to raise the disc) everything worked out :)

Probably you need to ask the servicemen to change the lid from the 5529 blender to the lid from 5530/40, otherwise this sore will be treated for a long time.

thanks for this thread! thanks to this forum today became the happy owner of Bosch 5529.
there is only one question left: tell me, please, what is the best way to make mashed potatoes for a baby. First I cook carrots, apples, zucchini, broccoli in a double boiler, and then I would just like to grind everything in mashed potatoes, otherwise the baby is just starting to try.

[ryth]

ryth, congratulations on your purchase! let him serve you faithfully!

I really liked to pass the boiled vegetables through the nozzle for mashed potatoes - it turns out in consistency like a purchased one, you can't tell it without preservatives !!!
ryth, I still cook small soups for children - I cut all sorts of raw vegetables into cubes and cook, then crush them. very convenient and fast, but mine is older, 1g7m, she already eats in pieces

Girls thank you all !!! I read it here and made a purchase
I'm delighted, helper (y) Now everything is twice as fast to cook. Only I have a question, but where can I order additional. nozzles? My husband really wants french fries ... Tell me pliz ...

Girls, I have a question - how do you clean the cubes (blades) attachment? And then every time I suffer. A special thing - white does not help when the carrots get stuck.

To your health!
And nozzles are purchased in online stores and in Bosch service centers. In the first message of the topic, I have collected information and given links to service centers. But you did not write in your profile where you are from, what city. This makes it difficult to help you.
It’s strange that it doesn’t help — it comes first in my cleaning. And if something remains, then I just clean it with a brush from the set. Nothing else.

I push it out with a white thing first from one side, then from the other side, and then I take this gray mesh by the edge and tap the other edge on the table, and everything falls out, and if some small particles still remain, then when washing under a strong stream of water everything crashes out like cute

Girls, I have a question - how do you clean the cubes (blades) attachment? And then every time I suffer: - \ A special thing - white does not help when the carrots get stuck.

The mesh does not need to be removed from the yellow disc before cleaning and there will be no problems.

Girls, especially those who have manifested a marriage, are not very disappointed? Would you buy this harvester now? I'm looking after myself, but of course the possibility of marriage is confusing and this blender lid is coming off .. S Say something, send it on the way ..
It would be interesting to know how long the combine was used by those who voted for "no marriage". The lid did not immediately begin to move away from many .. but this probably no longer recognizes

If anyone knows, please help me figure it out!
I have a five-year-old Bosch MCM 5380, and various discs have been purchased for it. I really want a cube cutter. F)
There are 2 options:
1) Buy an overpriced nozzle for cubes. Q: will it work on 5380?
2) Buy the 5529th, but will the mixer, dough mixer, discs and a mill, available from the 5380, fit the blender's place ?!
In appearance, everything is the same and, as I understood from this forum, everything fits the 5540th.
I tried to figure it out myself, but finally got confused - can anyone come across and help?
Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone!!!
Recently, I caught fire with the idea of ​​a food processor ...
I reread the whole forum topic, and just fell in love with Boshik ....
Only, unfortunately, their "illness" frightened them (the fact that the blender lid comes off).

My husband solved the situation simply ... Today he presented me with an MCM 5540 harvester, and we ordered a nozzle with cubes at the service center ...

Only for joy I forgot to order a brush for it for cleaning (namely a brush, not a pusher in the shape of a lattice). Do you think this is very bad ??? Is it possible to replace it with something ???

Insanely happy with the harvester !!! This is my first ... He's just a fairy tale !!!!
Rubbing potatoes on potato pancakes in an instant !!! For the first time I did them with a thrill !!!
Salad with cabbage - before she even had time to blink, the cabbage pumping ended ...
Everything on a pizza with a 3 mm shredder - in a moment! (only the tomatoes were afraid to try ... I'll wait for the season to experiment on fresh and dense ones). He cut a chicken into cutlets with knives just fine !!! And thanks to the dough hooks, I didn't have to go into the minced meat ...

Combine - MEGA SUPER !!! Thank you all for helping me select my new family member ...

For girls from Kiev

I ordered the attachment at the Deutschelectroservice SC on Lepse 55, delivery - from 2 weeks to a month.
Price:

holder (aka body) 314 UAH
sealant (rubber band) 18 UAH
knife 250 UAH
lattice 194 UAH
pusher (for cleaning the grate) 36 UAH

Total nozzle - 812 UAH (100 bucks).

As far as I know, there is still a brush going to her ... From her husband's information - 49 UAH.

And the girls are really told that this nozzle does not fit, they make presentations, but they don’t let them get too close to the harvesters .. Divorce ... The husband is just furious with such a marketing policy !!!!

Don't even worry about the brush, it is the most common household brush, you can buy similar brushes in hardware stores, and then not tell anyone that it is not from the set!

I want to order this hook, I need an order number. Can you tell me?

I looked on the Bosch website in spare parts for 5540:

Item # Material # Description
0212 641665 Dough mixer Dough hook (stainless steel)

I re-read all the pages of this forum several times, despite some negative moments, I took a chance and bought this device. Immediately with him, in the same store, I bought discs for French fries, for Korean carrots, a disc with a medium grater and 2 mm slicing. (The one that is included, the thickness of the slicing is 1 mm. and 3 mm.) I did not take it for shitters, since there is such a grater in the meat grinder. I ordered a dough hook.
Now I will report for several days of operation. Maybe someone will come in handy.
1. Assembly. There are marks on the bowl, dicing insert, lid.
🔗 🔗 🔗

We put the bowl on the combine, turn it clockwise so that the protrusion of the bowl goes into the groove until it clicks.Insert the device for cutting into cubes by matching the marks.
🔗
If it does not sit in the grooves, carefully turn the knife on the attachment until it falls into the grooves. We put on the lid, matching the triangles on the lid and handle of the bowl, turn the lid clockwise until it clicks.
The tapered bushing, it is here, the photo is not very good, by the phone.
🔗

Before assembly, lightly grease with vegetable oil.

2. Scratch. According to the instructions, I decided to cook mayonnaise using a beating disc, took two yolks, added half the volume of the mixture mixed together (1/2 tsp. Mustard, 1 tbsp. Vinegar, salt, sugar). I placed all this on the disk, turned on the 1st speed until it was stirred, then the 2nd, and began to add vegetable oil (150-200 ml.), First drop by drop, then more. It began to thicken, this clot began to wind around the edge of the disc, and then HRRRRRRRRRRRRR ....
After disassembling, there is a strip at the bottom of the bowl, on the disk where the circular ledge was frayed along the entire ledge (before that, I specially checked the disk, everything was smooth on the annular ledge).
🔗 🔗
Personal opinion, in the process of work, a strong vacuum (vacuum) was obtained under the disc, the disc was sucked to the bottom of the bowl, due to the strong friction of the protrusion along the bottom of the bowl, at the point of contact of the protrusion on the disc with the bottom, plastic began to melt both on the bowl and on the protrusion ... I cleaned off the roughness on the disc, but, alas, you can't get it on the bowl.
Conclusions. Probably not tested properly (in previous models of combines there was no disk), or they were screwed up with dimensions. The solution to the problem - the people cut washers, on the stem, to increase the gap under the disc. Maybe a couple of holes in the disc need to be drilled, but somehow I don’t want to experiment with the holes, unless there’s an extra bowl.

Well, now about the operation.
The first step is to adjust it for cutting. Olivier, okroshka, cut raw potatoes, then in a double boiler for 20 minutes, everything else is as expected. In the beginning, I tried 2nd speed as in instrumentation and forward, it turned out quickly, but not very accurately. Changed the method. First, I put what to cut, lightly press down with a pusher, then switch to M. Vzhzhzhik, the next portion, pusher, M - vzhzhik ... etc.

Blender - mayonnaise from the recipe, it turned out well and quickly.
Additional disks:
- for fries, I used the previous method, the next portion, the pusher, M - whazhik - quickly, however, the potatoes are not straight but squiggly, but they do not affect the taste.
- Korean disc (julienne) - while making only a salad of steamed beets with mayonnaise (the one in the blender) - I liked it, no waste, everything is in the bowl.
- cutting by 2 mm. A couple of minutes and a bowl of salad is ready.

Citrus press - I liked it, with almost 750 ml of 5 oranges. juice.

I tried to grate raw carrots with a julienne disc. When at speed, an unused plate remains, it begins to vibrate strongly (someone has already written about this). Switched to pulse mode. It seems to have healed.

[smok]

smok, Thank you! I have one like this, but I haven't cut anything on it yet, but what did you cut on it? have not tried tomatoes, do they crumple?

I haven't tried tomatoes yet, it's not the season. as well as cucumbers, radishes.

I don't like this harvester. He is very flimsy and weak. The blender is so generally - horror how bad. My husband gave it - now it's worth it, and cubes can be cut by hand. We do not cook on an industrial scale. If you take it, then from the MUM series (86R1, 8400, 84MP1 - I choose from them). I had about the same for 15 years, recently broke. After him, today is heaven and earth.

As far as I understand, in this price range, the Kenwood 010 is already much more preferable. In principle, I like it, but its dimensions are very confusing, yet the 5530 is a much more compact device, well, quite versatile. Or is there still no point in looking at him, but to pay attention to the Kenwoods or older mummies?

[Papa [BOP]]

Papa [BOP]
I must say right away that I have both the Bosch cube and Kenwood 010. Don't be confused by the size of Kenwood, it is not so bulky.In general, I regret that I did not take 020, it seemed that it is much more than 010, but it is only higher. I don't want to "scold" Bosch, I use it too, but after Kenwood it looks like a child's toy. Flimsy ...

I like this. It probably depends on what you need from the combine and how much you cook. As far as I know, many, in addition to the cube, have other combines (including the MUM series) - and all are used. And, probably, not so categorically ... I, choosing a combine, considered other options, but I bought MSM 5529 and have not regretted it yet. So to each his own.

[Nataly_rz]

Lisss's, did you beat butter with knives? It seems to me that for a cupcake, a pretty good result. I do not argue, for the cream you have to get a mixer, but for baking this difference is not significant IMHO

Nataly_rz, no, I haven't tried it with knives. IMHO, it is impossible to whip butter with knives, because whipping butter for a cake is saturating the butter with air bubbles until the butter turns white and fluffy - that is, until the so-called. "oil foam". and this buttery foam is holding the structure of the butter cake. you can heat and soften the butter with knives; beat it with knives, it seems to me, is impossible. how can you beat eggs with knives. mix into a homogeneous mass - yes, but saturate with air - hardly ... in a word, I did not try to do it with knives, so I can only talk about the result theoretically

There will still be a photo report, though I did not make a charlotte, but
then added the egg:

this with flour and nuts:

and then I added a fill according to the recipe:

In general, the combine coped with this task.
Photos of ready-made cookies can be viewed here

I made dough for charlotte and cottage cheese for cheesecakes and puree soup, and everything is fine on boche and phillips

I bought it, 5529. Today I did it by Olivier. The impressions are contradictory. It doesn't cut boiled potatoes very well into cubes of eggs, boiled potatoes, well, washing this knife by hand is not the most pleasant pleasure, as I understand it cannot be washed in the dishwasher ...
Chopped the onion with a knife fine, the juice from the oranges is also good. Tomorrow I can try some dough to knead, let's see what happens). Kenwood fell away because of the valuable, I think at first I'll play with this and see if I need a harvester or not. The price of this Bosch is like going to the grocery store twice, so if it closes quickly, there is no need to regret it). Thank you all for the advice!

Good day!
It has been a long time since Temko did not go) So I decided to write.
I use Boshik) happy) But a couple of days ago I refused to turn on, like everything was set correctly ... they won't turn on - and that's it ... and then I remembered that it might be in the blender lid. pressed it - it works!) so I then came up periodically turned it on - checked it) and after a couple of days I turned it on. Works. That apparently my mistake was, after I used the blender - the lid was not tightly closed. but I was already scared.
So Boshik has already settled down in our family and we live together with him) an excellent assistant!

[valushka]

valushka, I'm glad for you that it turned out to be a false alarm. don't scare you anymore, bully

but I wanted to write - my sister bought a cube, she is happy with everything, but recently the same problem - the blender lid is moving away and it does not turn on, it's a pity ... well, I advised her to stick it with tape for now, and then we'll see ...

I bought it, 5529. It doesn’t cut boiled potatoes into cubes.

Papa [BOP], and what did you dislike about cutting? everything cuts well with me ... I really understood one rule - you need to start with the softest (eggs) and load to the hardest (cucumbers). that is, cut eggs first, then potatoes, sausages, cucumbers.otherwise the eggs are soft and cannot push the sausage out of the grate, they are smeared. now I don't have this problem

There was another question, even two).
1. Beating disc. The instructions say that first place the disc, and the products on top. And in this thread I read that on the contrary it was advised that he would not scratch the cup. So how is it correct and is there a scratch and load addiction?
2. Is it harmful if the blender is stuck in while using the main bowl? It spins in parallel and idle.
