- Inverter speed control: any spiral speed from 50–300 RPM, not two fixed speeds, and a smooth start. How it works
- 300 RPM top speed: a short finishing burst for wetter doughs, over 60% water. How it works
- Reverse: combines a biga, preferment or starter refresh without kneading it. How it works
- 1:9 bowl-to-spiral ratio: the spiral turns nine times per bowl turn, so the whole batch is worked evenly. How it works
- Infrared temperature sensor: shows the dough's temperature live and stops the mix at the maximum you set. How it works
- LED lights in the bowl: see the dough through the guard at every stage; switch them on or off. How it works
- Touch screen with 20 recipes: up to 6 steps each, so anyone on the team gets the same mix. How it works
