Witt Varimixer Teddy - de originele Deense keukenmachine

Varimixer since 1915

A stand mixer with its roots in the bakery

Varimixer was founded in 1915 by a young Danish mechanic, Palle Hoff Wodschow. His idea was that the tool should travel around the bowl the way the planets travel around the sun. That way everything gets mixed, right out to the edge.

Since then Varimixer has built mixers for bakeries and commercial kitchens, where a machine runs every day and can't afford to stop. The bear became Varimixer's emblem, and the big professional machines are called Bjorn.

TEDDY is the little bear. It's built on the same principles, just in a size that suits a home kitchen.

What makes TEDDY a Varimixer

Stand mixers are often compared on watts. But whether a machine can cope with a stiff dough comes down to torque: the force that actually reaches the dough.

Power when the dough gets heavy

The new TEDDY has over 40% more torque at high speed than the previous model, and it kneads up to 3.5 kg of dough in one go.

Belt drive, like the Bjorn

The belt drive is inspired by the big Bjorn machines. The gears are reinforced, so they can handle greater forces while putting less strain on the machine itself.

Planetary mixing

The tool turns on its own axis while it travels around the bowl. It's the same idea Varimixer started with in 1915.

Quiet in use

At the lowest speed, where most doughs are kneaded, TEDDY runs at 52 dB. Even at full power under load it stays at 68 dB, about the level of a normal conversation.

One dial

Speed is set with a single dial from 1 to 5 with no fixed steps, so you can set exactly the speed the job needs.

Made to last

The base is reinforced, the feet are non-slip, and cooling and ventilation keep the temperature stable during long mixing times. The motor comes with a 10-year warranty.

Designed with purpose

Every detail matters

Before a single line was drawn, the team spent months observing how mixers are used in bakeries and professional kitchens. No unnecessary features. Just thoughtful solutions built to last.

“Throughout the R&D process, the main focus was to find the right combination of materials for the most durable gearing, able to handle the machine's increased power while maintaining long-term durability and reliability. We are confident that the result is our strongest and most robust gearing solution to date.”

TEDDY in everyday life

Dumplings take the time they take

Dumplings are folded one by one. Flavours are adjusted and tasted again. For Andreas Broløs, true craftsmanship isn't about speed. It's about quality, attention to detail and understanding the value of things that are made to last.

That approach shapes everything that happens in the kitchen. Little about the process can be rushed. The flavours need to be just right, the technique needs to become second nature, and every detail deserves attention.

Everyday food, with time for each other

Cooking plays a big role in Mette Rylev's home. Not as a hobby or a culinary ambition, but as a natural part of everyday life. She grew up with home-cooked meals, her grandmother's homemade jam and parents who placed great importance on sharing meals together.

Those values have stayed with her, and today she carries on the same traditions with her own family. Mealtimes aren't just something to squeeze in between work, after-school activities and bedtime. They're a time to come together and enjoy each other's company.

TEDDY 5.4 L or TEDDY 7 L?

The two models have the same motor and knead the same amount of dough. The difference is the size of the bowl and two features only the 7 L has.

TEDDY 5.4 L

For when you mostly knead dough.

5.4 litresStainless steel bowl
Up to 3.5 kgDough per batch
Up to 1.5 litresWhipped cream per batch

TEDDY 7 L

The big bowl, with timer and attachment drive.

If you mostly bake bread and pizza, the 5.4 L is plenty, and the smaller bowl is easier to handle. If you often whip large batches of cream, meringue or cake batter, or you want the timer and the option of a meat mincer, go for the 7 L.

For bread, pizza and everything sweet

TEDDY is built for the heavy jobs: bread dough, pizza dough and other stiff doughs that ask a lot of a mixer. The dough hook folds and stretches the dough from the edge towards the centre, so it's kneaded evenly.

It's just as good at the light work. The beater brings cake batter together, and the whisk follows the bowl closely, so cream and egg whites turn out airy all the way through.

For bread and sourdough, we carry baking gear from Brød & Taylor. If you bake pizza, have a look at our Witt pizza ovens too.
