Ooni upgrades its five-star stand mixer with a lighter design and advanced dough-making features
Ooni introduces an upgraded version of its iconic stand mixer
QUICK SUMMARY
Ooni has announced its second stand mixer, the Ooni Halo Core.
Available from 4th August, the Ooni Halo Core uses spiral mixing technology to make delicious pizza dough, and it’s smaller and lighter than its predecessor.
Following the success of its Halo Pro, Ooni has just announced its latest stand mixer. The perfect companion to its line-up of pizza ovens, the Ooni Halo Core is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, and comes with an advanced dual-motor system to power its many accessories.
Ooni launched the Halo Pro Spiral Mixer in 2025, and it was one of my favourite products to test last year. In fact, I gave it five stars in my Ooni Halo Pro review, and found it the best stand mixer to make pizza dough, as well as cookies and cake mixture.
The only downside I could find with the Ooni Halo Pro was its size. While it didn’t take up a huge amount of space on my countertops, I found it heavy to maneuver. I don’t have it out all the time in my kitchen, so when I do use it, I definitely have to use some elbow grease to get it out of my cupboard and on to the counter.
But it looks like Ooni has taken this criticism on board and fixed it with its new Ooni Halo Core spiral stand mixer. With a similar design to the Halo Pro, the Ooni Halo Core is 25% smaller and 30% lighter than the original, making it much easier to move and store.
Using spiral mixing technology, the Ooni Halo Core has a unique way of mixing pizza dough to help develop the gluten, and produce springier, smoother and stronger dough. Like the original, the Ooni Halo Core uses a removable breaker bar, spiral dough hook and a rotating bowl to replicate the stretching and kneading process required to make good pizza dough.
The way the Ooni Halo Core mixes ensures your pizza dough gets a ‘dual-kneading’ action to help strengthen its gluten structure. Also handy for bread dough, this motion is powered by a dual-motor system that thoroughly works your dough without overheating the mixer.
Controls are located at the top of the Ooni Halo Core, including 20 adjustable speed levels between 60 - 300 RPM. It has a generous capacity which can mix over six pounds of dough which roughly translates to 10 12-inch pizzas.
Despite it being an expert at making dough, the Ooni Halo Core can also be used for other baking tasks. It comes with a range of stainless steel attachments, including a silicon-edge beater and a dual-geared whisk, as well as a clear splash guard and a silicon lid for proofing.
Officially launching from 4th August, the Ooni Halo Core will be priced at £499 and available to buy at Ooni in Foundry Black and Polar White colours.
