How well does this work with bread dough?

I have been making bread with mine since day one! I haven't had any problems with it and even let my bread sit and rise in the bowl and then turn it on low to knead the bread! I have used it mostly for bread and stiff dough and as long as you keep it on low and don't get in a hurry....it doesn't even heat up? I have made dough for pretzels, regulat white bread, pizza dough, and even wheat bread "which seems to get the thickest and stalls it a little more, but has been doing just fine for me! Just don't make the mistake that I did on my first one and try to do butter and walk away for a min or two because the butter will turn out of nowhere and splash all of the cream or whey out "even with a towel over it" and if it gets under the unit...it will suck up into the fan which is right under neath the unit about a 1/4 of an inch from the work surface and will suck up into the motor and burn up or short out the unit! But other than that...I have made about 50 loaves of every kind of bread you can make in the last 3 or 4 weeks and use it daily, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day and I have no problem! Yes a cover and maybe a little more power would be nice, but I can make 2 BIG loafs of any kind of bread in it and I have had no problems, just do the dough on low to #2 until it gets thick and turn it down to low, let it rise and put it back on low for 5 mins to knead the bread!

whats the bowl capacity

0.924 of a gallon. So almost a gallon.

Yes. it tilts for adding ingrediants & changing blades.

No... There is a button on the side that allows you to raise the top up. I don't think the button on the side counts as a tilt, but still got for the price.
