Sunmix Easy 20: specs, capacity and who it’s for
44 lb of dough per batch from a machine that still fits on a sturdy counter. Needs a 220V single-phase circuit.
Who’s behind this: the team at TheLoveOfDough, the eBay store that sells these Sunmix machines. Links to eBay go to our own listings.
In short: up to 44 lb (20 kg) of dough per batch (about 80 dough balls of 250 g), manual knobs, and it needs a 220V single-phase circuit.
What each feature does
- 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
No dough-temperature sensor, bowl lights or stored recipes: those come with the Evo line.

Questions people ask
How much dough can the Sunmix Easy 20 mix?
Up to 44 lb (20 kg) of dough per batch, made with up to 22 lb (10 kg) of flour. That's about 80 dough balls of 250 g or 71 of 280 g.
Does the Sunmix Easy 20 have a dough temperature sensor?
No. The Sunmix Easy 20 has knob controls without a sensor. The Evo line adds an infrared sensor that stops the mix at a set dough temperature.

Yes. It runs on 220V single phase, 12 A, so it needs a 220V circuit like an oven or dryer uses.
