Haussler NOVA, Charcoal
The unique NOVA mixer by Häussler offers the home gourmet a countertop spiral mixer of exceptional strength and effectiveness. The NOVA offers the advanced features of the larger SP-series mixers in a more compact footprint. With its design centered around the power rotating bowl and spiral dough hook, the NOVA gently but powerfully works a wide range of dough types, from very heavy to very high hydration artisan doughs. The bowl is removable and has a capacity of 5.2 qt. (5 liter), which can handle 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) of 60% hydration dough (that's equivalent to 3.5 lbs/1.5 kg of flour). The NOVA is ideal for kneading small batches of dough to perfection!
Uncompromising quality
Häussler construction quality is far above the ordinary. The NOVA mixer boasts true commercial-level design, a key feature of which is its smooth, powerful chain drive. The high angle lift of the drive head provides extraordinary access to the bowl, and lifting the head is effortless thanks to a pressurized lift-assist cylinder. The case is heavy gauge steel, as evidenced by the machine's hefty 40 lb. weight. With a depth of 16", width of 9.4" (with bowl, arm down), and standing 15" tall (arm down), the NOVA is sized perfectly for the kitchen of the serious gourmet. In its elegantly handsome cabinet, even between mixing tasks the NOVA makes a bold statement.
Speeds
The Häussler NOVA mixer has seven speeds plus a 45-minute timer.
Colors
The NOVA mixer is available in white, burgundy, steel blue, charcoal gray or silver finish.

The smallest of the Haussler line of spiral mixers, it is ideal for testing new formulas. Especially like the ability to add an autolyze period into the mixing program.
Solidly built. My counter space is limited so the 20 lb. weight differential compared to the Alpha was a consideration. Very pleased thus far.
Have been looking for a great mixer forever and have tried them all after my old KA bowl lift model went out on me. Have Ank, Bosch, Kenwood... none are as good as the Nova. Yes, at 40lb it is about the limit for moving from place to place.
Just get the 2 additional attachments for mixing and whipping and you have a great (the best?) all around mixer + spiral mixer for bread. Quiet, powerful, stable and very effective at whatever it I asked to do.
I love this mixer. It is a heavy and solid mixer and very quiet. I love that it has a timer and I can program my one recipe. I have an Ankarsrum as well but the Haussler is way better. It is pricey but I think it is worth it.
Just received mine a few days ago and have been busy making challah and sourdough breads. This mixer is easy to use and the ability to store recipes is a bonus! The included recipe book is in German only. My only complaint is that this is a small capacity mixer but I knew that when i ordered. Also this mixer is quiet! at low speeds i can barely hear it.
Our Haussler Nova arrived a few months ago. I’ve been baking for decades, starting with a KitchenAid K45 and the larger bowl-lift version, followed by a Bosch Solitaire with the custom dough hook. I recently started making pizza and bread doughs weekly, so I considered the Ankarsrum, FAMAG, and the Haussler, among others. I’ve never used a single-purpose dough mixer with a breaker bar like the FAMAG; I’ve eyed Ankarsrum for years, but I still have every conceivable attachment for my Bosch, which has moved down to the basement.
Everyone’s needs are different. I enjoy experimenting and baking small batches rather than making any one thing in quantity. I hoped to find a machine that can handle the widest variety of batch sizes and dough hydration levels, from dense whole-grain European breads to airy pizzas. Better still would be a mixer with attributes that don’t always go together: a shallow learning curve; the versatility of a dough hook, whisk, and beater; minimal bowl scraping and countertop mess from loose flour; open access to the bowl with a simple lifting head design; an easy to clean bowl, parts, and cover; effortless power; a low and pleasant sound level; customizable program settings; and an understated, elegant design more suitable for a kitchen counter than a bakery. The Haussler does it all for us.
I have yet to find a batch that’s too small (single loaves have been no problem); I have no doubt the maximum 7.7 pounds will be no challenge for this powerful machine (15 minutes of mixing dough for 8 Neapolitan pizzas is effortless). The combination of a truly excellent spiral hook design, tall spinning bowl, and 7 speeds allows me to windowpane dough quickly and easily (with minimal, if any, scraping); this was always a challenge for my previous mixers. The Haussler paddle and whisk are sturdy and work beautifully for pretty much everything else I like to bake. I have yet to have any dough climb the hook enough for a scrape-down. The optional bowl cover is very nice and can be stored on the bowl itself, with the spiral hook inside, under the plastic cover.
The Haussler is not as bulky as its weight might suggest; it’s less obtrusive-looking and seems to have a smaller footprint than my big old KA or the Bosch. This mixer is rock solid and unbelievably quiet – you barely know it’s running. It is mesmerizing to watch. It’s rare to buy something that involves few, if any compromises and delivers an almost magical combination of versatility, capacity, and beauty. Expensive, but worth it. Thanks again to the excellent customer service folks at Pleasant Hill for their help finding a perfect mixer to meet our needs.
Ever since seeing it on display in Germany (and reviewed on multiple baking websites) I wanted to have one and thanks to PHG I now own one. Very happy with compact size and controls are intuitive and mixer can handle all kinds of dough without slowing down. The Haussler website offers a lost of recipes that use the NOVA.
I received he machine on 12/11/23 and went to work and a cookie dough . Very very quiet when mixing. I have the alpha but wanted one for small batches. German products are so well made. They're expensive but will last a long time. I have the Haussler oven as well and love it - just wish I could have a German kitchen!
I have two Bosch mixers, both fairly old, and especially the bigger one has served me well over the years, and I have accumulated a number of attachments. But when I started baking bread, I soon found out the respective limits of both, especially with doughs of modest hydration: the large one would just fling around the ball of dough as soon as it had formed; the smaller one would eventually get the job done, but it took three times as long as it should, and the poor machine got quite hot and sounded like it was about to die, every time. Using the NOVA was a revelation. It processed a double batch effortlessly and quickly, and the resulting dough produced the best window pane ever. It's also unbelievably quiet. And I mean unbelievably; your first reaction is, this can't be right? But it is.
I also made a wet, sticky dough with a high percentage of rye (65%). The machine performed admirably, but these doughs are challenging, and some scraping down is unavoidable. I guess one way to address this would have been a detachable arm with a blade that continuously scrapes the sides as the bowl rotates, and feeds the dough to the spiral; a bit like the Ankarsrum. Oh well, one can dream.
One consideration: This thing is HEAVY, about twice as heavy as a KitchenAid, and much heavier than any Bosch. This is, of course, because it's built so rock-solid, and as such, a good thing, but unless you have a permanent place for it on your kitchen counter, exactly where you will be using it, be prepared for a bit of a workout every time you fetch it. It's so worth it, though!
One intriguing observation: Speeds 1-4 are very gradual. You'll probably be using speed 2 for the initial mix, and 4 to finish gluten development. Speed 5 is a significant jump in speed. Maybe that's where the machine goes from kneading into whipping mode.
I've been baking for years and NOTHING compares to this mixer!
It is so quiet. So efficient. So beautiful.
