Comparing These Pizza Mixers to Globe's Standard Mixers
- If your operations are dough-intensive, especially high-volume pizza operations, these are the mixers we'd recommend.
- If you have a volume dough operations, but also make other recipes, the SP62P-4 is a great choice. The additional speeds enable it to mix other types of recipes. It also has a power bowl lift, where the standard Globe SP60 60-quart mixer does not.
Why Choose Globe Mixers Over Other Brands
- All mixers come standard with a 2-year parts and labor warranty.
- Globe has lower-cost accessories, attachments, and parts than comparable brands.
- That, plus solid quality at a great price point, usually means lower cost of ownership.
