Why trust us?

We sell Sunmix spiral mixers and Moon dough rounders through our eBay store, TheLoveOfDough, so we spend our days answering exactly these questions from pizzeria owners and bakers. That also means we have a stake in what you buy, which is why every page says so, links its sources, and tells you when a smaller machine, a different brand or no machine at all is the better call.
