Simplus 5L stand mixer review: the highest wattage here

The Simplus 5L Professional Classic is our Best for heavy dough pick: at 1300W it carries the highest published wattage in our stand mixer roundup, paired with a 5L stainless bowl and three attachments.

What can it actually handle?

Wattage is the spec that decides whether a stand mixer copes with bread, and this is the strongest figure on the board. A dough hook plus 1300W means pandesal, ensaymada, and pizza dough are all fair game, not just cake batter and cream. That’s the whole argument for this machine.

The 5L stainless work bowl is the home standard: one to two cakes, or a normal tray of ensaymada. All three attachments come in the box, so kneading, creaming, and whipping are covered on day one.

Where it gives ground is control. Six speeds is fewer than the 10 on the PerySmith or the 12 on the Hanabishi and Camel units, so the steps between settings are coarser. In practice you’ll find yourself between two speeds occasionally, which is a mild annoyance rather than a real problem.

How is the build?

It’s a conventional full-size tilt-style stand mixer with a stainless bowl, built around a big motor housing. Buyers rate it 4.9 across 3,045 raters, one of the two largest samples in the category, which is the strongest evidence available that the build holds up in real kitchens rather than just on paper.

The thing to weigh is support. Simplus sells through its own official Shopee shop rather than through a network of PH service centers, so if something fails you’re dealing with the seller and a courier, not a walk-in counter. Kyowa, Hanabishi, Imarflex, and Camel all have local service networks; this one doesn’t.

Is the Simplus 5L sulit?

Around ₱4,600 as of August 26, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Over three years of regular use, a reasonable expectation for a mixer at this power level, that comes to roughly ₱4 a day.

Whether it’s sulit depends on one comparison. The PerySmith PS5500 II offers 1200W, 10 speeds, and a bigger 5.5L bowl for about half this. The Simplus answers with 100W more and a larger rating sample, which is a thin margin for the difference. Buy it if you want the extra headroom on dough and prefer the simpler six-speed control; otherwise the cheaper machine does more.

Who the Simplus 5L suits

Buy this if bread and heavy dough are the main reason you want a stand mixer, and you’d rather have raw motor power than a long list of speeds. It’s the right choice for the baker who makes dough weekly and doesn’t need a service center. If you bake mostly cakes, or you want more control between speeds, spend less and get more elsewhere.

If the Simplus 5L is not right

The PerySmith PS5500 II is our Best Overall pick and the direct comparison here: 1200W, 10 speeds, and a 5.5L bowl at a noticeably lower price as of August 26, 2026. If walk-in warranty support matters more to you than wattage, the Hanabishi HPSTMIX50 brings 1000W, 12 speeds, and overheat protection from a brand with service centers nationwide.
