I bought this product for the value. And while there are features that I like, like the tilting head, there are a few things I don't like. I had a 30 year old kitchenaid mixmaster, which I LOVED! The bowl on that was wide enough for me to scrape the sides without removing the blades, the Cuisinart bowl is narrow. I have to actually turn off the mixer, lift the head, and remove the bowl in order to scrape the sides. The paddle does not sufficiently scrape the sides while mixing - which is understandable, however, it's inconvenient not being able to easily do that. My old mixmaster had a rotating bowl and regular beaters and plenty of room to add ingredients, scrape the sides, etc. The plastic spout to add ingredients is too small and should be longer. I wish someone would come up with another model that had the features of a rotating bowl, regular beaters, and wider bowl with handle! THAT would be ideal!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this mixer about two months ago and I have used it for mostly making bread! It has taken a lot of work out of making homemade bread! I think it is a great mixer!

I had a mixer stand, and the bowl moved rather than the beater. I had to help it along!! This mixer is great! I put the ingredients in and it whips them right up! I do have to turn it off and put the head back to add in powdered sugar for my buttercream frosting. That’s a pain, but I think I’d probably have to do that with any mixer.

I recently purchased the cuisinart stand mixer and love it. You do have to stop and scrape the sides. But making certain frosting that require beating for like 10 minutes is sooo much easier now. Only used a hand mixer before.... but loving this and wish I had gotten one years ago! Looking forward to Christmas cookies time!!!!

I really the way it handled my bread dough. Effortlessly mixing it. I do wish the bowl were tilted out slightly rather than directly under the mixer, makes it harder to add ingredients. I hope to have it for many years to come!

I bought this at a great price and now I know why.. First, it is not the mixer with the bowel that moves upward and downward. It is stationary. Next, it is very difficult to scrape the sides of the bowl while mixing. One must turn it off, take the top of the mixer away from the bowl, then scrape the sides and start over...

I totally love my Cuisanart Stand Mixer 5.5 Quart! I have made homemade cookies in it. And I will be making homemade frosting in it for my birthday tomorrow! And many more wonderful things to come! I love it and I would recommend this item 100% to anyone who loves to cook! Best mixer I’ve ever had to.
