Bosch food processor - cuts into cubes!

very strange, really ...

I just looked at my own - nothing, a normal leg. although I cut raw vegetables on a cube - both potatoes and carrots ... pumpkin, it seems to me, is no denser than carrots. maybe they really pressed hard? and he did not squeal before the leg broke off? did not stall and then hummed so strainedly, was it not like that? or just spinning, and then broke? .. so we will determine if we pressed hard .. otherwise I, sometimes, also "forcibly" push through when I need to

Nothing squealed :) immediately stopped abruptly, that is, stopped cutting, I'm off. disassembled and saw that the leg fell off.

Good day!
I am a happy owner of a cube, I can not imagine my life without this assistant in the kitchen, although there is a drawback with the blender lid. I periodically correct the lid, but yesterday there was a kapets - I tried to tighten the pipette on the lid and broke off one
Can you tell me if my trouble can be corrected? Will the combine work with one lock? And it is somehow inconvenient with a bowl from a blender that is spinning idle

Hello everyone!
Please tell me where on the official Bosch website you can find and order parts for a cube cutter (disc-mount, knife-lattice, pusher ...)
I live in Germany, here (as already written in the subject) Bosch 5529 corresponds to Siemens 55290 and the same for other Bosch models 5530, 5540 goes Siemens 55300, 55400. But, even if you kill yourself against the wall, I just can't find these in the German version spare parts to buy separately only a cube cutter and put it on 55400 (as advised in the topic) ...

Owners of the 5540, please tell me if this device has the same problems as the 5529 with the blender, or has everything been corrected there - I don't remember if the 5540 was mentioned in the topic? Sellers say that the machines are identical, the only difference is in the number of attachments ...

in 5540 and 5530 have already been corrected only in the cube there is this problem with the blender lid

Are the 3rd and 4th speeds really necessary and for what? Two is not enough?
I somehow still can't decide between 5529 and 5540

I contacted the German spare parts center, sent a diagram with the position numbers of spare parts for Bosch 5529 / Siemens 55290 (the one that was removed from the Russian site) - maybe someone will need a thread!







So I just received a response from the German spareparts center spareparts@bshg.com

Infa for the cost of cube cutter parts:
Brush, Buerste 615422 3.69 EUR
Knife, Messer 647588 19.16 EUR
Knife cutter Traeger 647587 23.80 EUR
Grill, Gitter 615 420 EUR 14.76
Pusher, Stoessel 615419 EUR 2.74
Gasket, Dichtung 620007 1.55 EUR
Total 70 euros, not bad ... Indeed, half of the total harvester !!!

Apparently, you need to buy from here 🔗

They also gave the address of an excellent site (they respond friendly and promptly;)) 🔗

Well, I was not spared by the response of technology to violence.
Yesterday I rubbed carrots in a combine with a julienne grater (for carrots). Apparently he pushed harder than necessary with a pusher. He began to remove the nozzle, and the drive head fell out, splitting into two halves.

The drive head was here.

I went to the service center today. They explained that this case is not guaranteed. (Their warranty applies to the engine and control elements) The head is not ordered separately, but only assembled with a drive for 220 UAH. Along the way, I ordered a hook for kneading the dough (140 UAH). They promised to send an application today, it will only get to Germany next Monday. Wait at least a month.
So, be careful ...

yes, what a nuisance and how long has he served you at that moment?

It's a nuisance, of course, but it's iron, our nerves aren't worth it. For half a year for sure, without him now as without hands. I think I can glue it with superglue and try it without load.

today we also have a drive head broken - everything is exactly like in your photo ...
I think what to glue, for sure superglue will not glue for a long time, you need to pick up glue for the plastic that melts it.
tell me the address of the german parts center, maybe they can send this thing one, no additives ... thanks in advance

On the diagram that I posted here (on page 50) there are only position numbers (for example, 0125, 0308), and in their online store, it turns out to search only by the article number (for example, 615420).
So you probably need to write and order from them, giving the position number on the diagram. And do not forget to find out how much the delivery to Russia will cost (delivery within Germany costs a maximum of 5.95 euros) !!

I also broke the upper part of the drive (code 0125) on MSM 5540, so I found it for 17 UAH in stock. If we take the entire drive assembly, then 175 UAH.

Good evening everyone! A week ago I bought a 5530. Thank you all for a good topic, I looked through it more than once before buying. I really wanted a "cube", but did not risk it. In the service center, I wanted to buy a crook grater ...
Girls from Russia, is it really so expensive, in our city 1100 rubles.
In my new assistant I tried everything except the corollas .. Delight! There was something to compare with, there was a Russian harvester, however, which served more than 15 years (the shaft where the graters were attached cracked ..)
I like everything here, it is so elegant to operate, you just press and it works .. I am very pleased with the purchase.

Can you please tell me if this is normal or I have a problem with the combine, the bottom line is that when kneading the dough, it partially turns out to be on the pin on which the bowl of the combine is put on?

this is normal .. even with specialized kneaders of this design, the dough crawls under the filling and crawls along the trunk on which the nozzle is put on ..

usually, the thicker the dough, the less it crawls ..

Tell me, please, and you just put it on a pin and that's it? I have the same problem. The service said that you can not buy the entire drive, but buy only this part. But the fact is that a healthy self-tapping screw was included with the part, and I don't understand where to attach it.

Good day! I can suggest an elementary solution to the problem with the blender holder lid. So, we take two ordinary stationery elastic bands and put them (in three additions) on the antennae of the lid. ALL.
I think this option is pretty simple. And everything works.

Since no one has answered, I will answer my own question myself
It turned out that the self-tapping screw is needed solely to remove the old part. And the new one with the help of male power was successfully installed in place.

no, after all, knead yeast dough in it - a headache ... The dough gets thinner into all imaginable and inconceivable cracks, you get horseradish thick dough - in the same place: you must first pull out the knife from the dough, remove the attachment, and then only the bowl can be raise, and until you remove the dough from all the details and wash everything ... In short, it is better to have a dough mixer for such needs, this harvester can only handle chopped, shortbread dough, and it can handle 5+!

[na2sik]

na2sik, I would not say so .. yes, yeast dough goes under the knife, it's true, but it goes under the knife when kneading in this way in any, even a narrow-profile dough-mixing combine, such as Magimix .. so that the dough goes under the knife less, you need to pour when kneading only half of the water, knead the dough, and then add the remaining half.

I do not remove the attachment to remove the bowl. I remove everything in one block, and then dump the dough together with the attachment on the table. I only remove the attachment first when I leave the dough in the food processor to ferment.

yes, kneading the dough in this way is not as convenient as with a kneader with a hook, but in the absence of such, this method has the right to life

I also remove the bowl with the knife.

Dear forum users! Please tell me if the defect of the blender lid on the 5529 model, purchased in the last 3 months, is preserved. If possible, look at the date of manufacture or serial number or batch number.
In the coming days I will meet with BOSCH representatives on this issue.
Has anyone tried to fit a blender from a 30 or 40 model?

I also remove the bowl with the knife.

Something I can't pull off all together ... I'll try I must probably get used to it ...
But still, in a dough mixer (with a submersible hook like kitchenaid or kenwood) it is much more convenient and pleasant)

I've had a "Boshik-Kubik" since February, I'm very pleased. I bought graters, it's a pity that we can't buy a hook for the dough, I would very much like to. I use it for dumplings, rub carrots, cabbage, in a word, everything is in use.

Thank you. If it's not difficult, give the phone number of the Javuan.

Hello dear cube owners!
For two days I rummaged on the Internet looking for reviews on this harvester until I came to your wonderful site! Then Temka read this for two more days ... I already dream of this "cube" SOOO want this harvester for myself, although its mass marriage scares me But ... this cube cutter ... and even on the eve of the new year ... well, it's very tempting ...
Yes, and it is unlikely that I can afford to buy a nozzle ... very expensive (((
And my question for you is this: I have a small child and I need to cook different purees, but, of course, small portions, maybe it’s better for me to buy a submersible blender for the combine, or will it be ok to mix everything in the combine, do you think? Sorry for a lot of bukafff And, thanks in advance to everyone who answered!

[annet13]

annet13, I believe that a submersible blender for cooking dishes for a kid will certainly not hurt. The food processor has an excellent wiping nozzle, and it helped me out more than once, but if you need to cook the baby at one time, it will smear more on the sides of the bowl, it is still not very small. But if you need to wipe something, well, for example, the same cranberries for fruit drink or compote, so that to separate the pulp from the skins and grains, then you will only use the nozzle in the combine. So one complements the other.

And my question for you is this: I have a small child and I need to cook different purees, but, of course, small portions, maybe it’s better for me to buy a submersible blender for the combine, or will it be ok to mix everything in the combine, do you think? Sorry for a lot of bukafff And, thanks in advance to everyone who answered!

How much is small portions? I think that in any case, do not cook less than a glass. At least that's how it worked for me. True, my child ignored all these mashed potatoes, looked at me as if I was crazy and demanded normal food.
But a hand blender, in my opinion, is best suited for these purposes.
If you are afraid that you will not be able to use it for anything else - try to search the forum for the corresponding topics, it seems that I wrote there about the possibilities of using a submersible blender. The most important thing is to wash very little afterwards after using it

Tomorrow they will bring me this "magic harvester". I don't even know what to expect. On the one hand, I have been dreaming about it for a long time, and after the New Year, after reading numerous conflicting reviews, I still matured. On the other hand, the impression is that I am not buying kitchen appliances of a famous brand, but a spaceship with a million subtleties. And if they are not followed, and it is not possible to comply with everything without reading the sad experience of those who have already bought the CUBIC, then anything can happen! Maybe the technician was simpler before, but more reliable? And now she can do almost everything, but if she is "blown from the wrong side," will she fall apart? Fortunately, I haven't come across anything fragile like this, and I hope this time a well-known brand won't let me down. : pek: As soon as I try it, I will immediately share my impression.

[walle2008]

walle2008, that nothing be afraid !!

my sister has a cube, everything is fine. but she never used a disc for beating, and the blender lid began to move away almost immediately, but they found a deodorant cap (or stationery gum), pulled off those horns - and now everything is just a song.Despite such small expenses, she is very happy with the combine, helper!

so don't worry - this is just a technique

[walle2008]

walle2008, that nothing be afraid !!

my sister has a cube, everything is fine. but she never used a whipping disc

As for the disk, she shouldn't be. Although, when I had such an accident, I stopped using it, which is a pity. (I wrote about this in detail https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...22259.0 )
As it turned out, a very useful thing. Whisk them whites, just a song. You can't do that with any mixer. I whip mayonnaise only for them. Fast and guaranteed results.

(Before that, I whipped the combine with a blender, you beat it. You pour the oil in a thin stream, with a syringe without a needle, then pop, there is no mayonnaise, the yellow mixture is spinning in a jug. You collect your will into a fist. ) into a blender, mustard, vinegar, etc. and over again, but instead of oil you pour it, don’t understand what. A couple of the last times, I had to repeat this procedure twice. And I don’t want to talk about how to wash this jug later)
But given previous experience (see link above), lukewarm, boiled water is at the ready. As soon as the mayonnaise begins to thicken strongly, and a lump of mayonnaise starts spinning around the edge of the disc, I switch the speed to the first, and add some water. The lump dissolves, the mayonnaise turns white, a semi-liquid mass spins around the edge of the disc. That's it, I continue further, increase the speed and add oil and not in a thin stream, but immediately gram 50 - 70 splash.
So use it safely.
And the reason why the disc is pressed against the bottom of the container, IMHO, a vacuum is created under the disc, since there is no sufficient air access under the disc, and the air is squeezed out from under the disc by centrifugal force. It may not be necessary to increase the speed when whipping dense mixtures such as mayonnaise, at first, in theory, it should whisk.

Yeah, he cuts cucumbers at a cosmic speed !!!!!!!!!!!!! My observations: There really was a smell, but not for long. While I was washing all the nozzles, I noticed that the silicone gasket in the cube cutter is very similar to a suction cup for various types of hanging objects such as hooks and soap dishes. I think that if it breaks, then you can easily replace it. Since the potatoes were overcooked a little in the microwave, the first one went badly, the other two were inserted together and cut into cubes. It seems to me that if the products are not laid one by one, then everything is cut much better - it does not wrinkle. But this is my very first experience. The beets are still cooling, but I think they will fly with a bang! At first I suffered a little with the insertion of the cube attachment, but then I simply put all the components in sequence and everything worked out. In general, I am very happy !!! And then we will see !!!

The only place where comprehensive information about the Cube is compactly collected, thanks !!! I read everything from cover to cover. The second day and my Cube decorates my kitchen and pleases the eye. The vinaigrette is in the refrigerator, the blue cabbage salad has already been eaten (shredder 1 mm). on a manual shredder, I always tried to set the minimum gap, for the Cube it is just optimal for the tenderness of the salad. The vinaigrette was cut in the sequence indicated in the recipe, not without reason in all recipes, first of all, potatoes, the following products do a good job with potato leftovers. No smear, everything is a neat cube. Hands are itching to try something else :)
There was already such a question, but I did not see the answer - who came up with something interesting on a grater with large holes, what is it suitable for?
I doubted for a long time, made up my mind, bought it, I don’t regret it, I’m thinking about additional graters.

For 3 days of use, I made: vinaigrette, fish salad and cooked borscht. On a medium grater, the carrots turned out to be very small. I chopped everything else on a coarse grater, including potatoes. For potatoes, I will buy a fries attachment, because potatoes on a coarse grater are of course very small, just after work I didn't want to bother and cut everything with the help of different devices.A large nozzle is too large for beets! Again, you need to buy another nozzle. But the shredded cabbage turned out very well. And I liked the result of rubbing the onion on a coarse grater - unexpectedly !!! Thin stripes turned out. For the fish salad, I chopped a small onion with a utility knife in a food processor. in Pulse mode - it also turned out evenly. Although I thought that it would be better to chop such a small onion in a small chopper (I have Moulinex), but I was too lazy to get it. In general, the harvester is good! only the usual grater is missing - so that everything would turn out to be of the usual size. And I will either cut the potatoes on a nozzle into cubes or on a fries grater. I would like to know how who adapted to chopping vegetables for borscht and other soups.? And one more question not related to this topic. Is it true that with the advent of the bread maker, you can put on weight very well in a year?
I really want a bread maker ...

My report for 2 days:
Peking Cabbage Salad - 3mm shredder, excellent. The cabbage was cut in full length so that it would pass, in a pulse mode.
A chocolate cocktail in a mixer, dough for pancakes with a universal knife, mashed potatoes - here I, of course, perverted :))) First, I cut the potatoes into cubes, such small cubes were cooked instantly, passed them through a sieve, after that it was too lazy to beat with a knife, a very tender mashed potatoes turned out, but it is unlikely that I will repeat the whole procedure again. Instead of one crush, washing all spare parts twice is not for me :), but for berries it will probably be an excellent thing. Addiction, of course, drug addiction, all pulls for new experiments. Yes, even a 3 mm onion shredder turns out to be excellent rings.
cutlets with a knife are just a miracle, the kids appreciated :), and tomorrow I need to make new ones :)

Hello! I am planning to buy a MUM 4655 (suits the whole set of functions), but from the MCM 5529 I just need a dicing attachment! Since I have no experience of communicating with food processors yet, I dream of having everything at once! Can you please tell me who has a similar experience, is it possible to somehow adapt the cube cutter on the MUM 4655? Maybe "Russian ingenuity" is applicable here? I would be very grateful to everyone for any advice!

[Katarinax]

Katarinax, unfortunately, there is no way you will be able to arrange a cube on this combine .. there are completely different attachment systems for attachments, they are not compatible .. that's why I have two of them - one with cubes, one with a bowl, like 4655

I ran through the topic and still did not understand:
Can the cube attachment be ordered separately and put on another harvester?
which can you bet on?
and which Bosch is better to buy (in terms of reliability) to supplement it with a cube attachment?
I don't need a blender, a juicer, a bowl with hooks and a bowl with a knife at the bottom - I have it all in other devices.
I need the cube itself and the auger meat grinder - is this possible?

[Tronic]

Tronic, Hi!

the cube can only be put on combines of the same MSM series, and specifically the MCM 5530 and 5540 models. on other MSM models it is questionable, have not tried it, but on other Bosch combines it is impossible.

I need the cube itself and the auger meat grinder - is this possible?

no

Hello Liss!
Thanks for the prompt and clear answer :)

So there will be a separate cube. And I will buy a meat grinder to Kenwood Prospero, then. if I don’t look for anything else :)

So I did not understand from this thread - a cube is good or not, they describe too many shortcomings. But I decided that I'd rather buy it and regret it than not buy it and I'll regret it)))))

for dicing and shredding - irreplaceable

Today, finally, there was a reason to make Olivier salad. The day before, I boiled potatoes with carrots and eggs in salted water. I put everything on the balcony.And in the morning they cleaned it all up, finished everything else and the salad was ready just instantly. I was worried about the potatoes. But she cut herself into perfect cubes, did not crumble at all. Just shine! The potato was the most common, platypus. The cubes are not large. My son and husband said that 8 mm is a lot. in my opinion - what you need.
They are neither large nor small. Normal! Even they, these skeptics, were forced to admit the victory of Profikubixx !!!! For me to be completely happy, I do not have enough medium grater and an attachment with hooks for kneading cheesecakes. Although I have not tried stirring with a multifunctional knife. By the way, here it was necessary to mix the ready-made minced meat with the rest of the ingredients. While it was all spinning in the harvester, several minutes were freed up to clean up the waste. Everything was mixed into a homogeneous mass. It remained only to stick the cutlets and ready. True, the minced meat was chopped up even smaller. I didn't expect such real time savings!

So I did not understand from this thread - a cube is good or not, they describe too many shortcomings. But I decided that I'd rather buy it and regret it than not buy it and I'll regret it)))))

Tronic, the right approach! But I didn't regret it! I hope you will be happy too.

Tronic, the right approach! But I didn't regret it! I hope you will be happy too.

Lydia, I bought it last week and did not regret it - you are right!
She cut potatoes into soup, made vinaigrette, cut potatoes and boiled them in a multicooker steamer in two minutes. Just perfect!

My kids love vinaigrette, but I haven't done it before - I hate cutting all these vegetables. And now I get pleasure from it :) I cut raw directly, and boil chopped - the time for preparing the vinaigrette has decreased significantly!

In general, I'm happy as an elephant :)

Next week I will try other attachments and features :)

[Tronic]

Tronic, and vegetable stew "Vinaigrette" you did not cook?

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=105010.0

That's why the cube nozzle is irreplaceable!

Thanks for the advice I'll try one of these days!

I use it every day, a family of 4 people, where can you be sorry, a good helper! Borscht, salads, pastries, stews, cutlets, etc. Grater, shredder, naturally cubes, multi-mixer, utility knife, everything is in use. It is much easier for me to rinse the bells and whistles and cope in seconds than to chop, rub it all by hand. If he also cleaned everything before bookmarking

That's for sure! And then you peel vegetables for half a day, and he turns everything into cubes in a minute.

yeah, now in the preparation of vinaigrette-olivier the longest procedure is to clean everything
