Cuisinart Stand Mixer, White  Product Reviews

"I make bread weekly using a mixer and recently my Kitchenaid motor gave out after overheating. Though I prefer the looks of the Kitchenaid mixers (something more industrial about them), Cuisinart has addressed several of the key problems found in Kitchenaid mixers: not enough power, overly wide bowl shape, absene of timer/minimal speed control. The stronger motor is crucial if you're mixing bread doughs for minutes at a time. The taller, more narrow bowl shape prevents spilling. The timer function is tremendously useful. And the wider range of speeds (especially slow speeds) and gentle acceleration up to any speed, again, prevent spills and allow for more control. Other features I like: the spill guard fits neatly and is ONE piece (again, unlike my old Kitchenaid); the lock feature clicks the top arm into place so you never run the risk of lifting from the top and having the bottom swing out; the smooth surfaces make for easy clean-up; the attachments all wash easily in the dishwasher. A great product!"

"The Cuisinart mixer is a great buy. When we purchased the product it stated that it would take a week or two to receive but we received it within five business days which was a pleasant surprise. The mixer handles the task at hand without any problem. The only negative if there is one is the fact that due to the shape of the mixing bowl even though it has the room to mix four cake mixes at one time ... the narrowness of the bowl would put the mix above the mixer head itself and therefore would not properly mix the complete batch ... but it handles three cake mixes at a time without a problem. The unit itself seems light in weight, but so far it has proved to be a great asset in the kitchen and we would suggest buying the product without hesitation."
