Nice little mixer. Swivel power cord stays out of the way. Flat base can be rested on counter easily. The first speed was slow enough to reduce dry ingredients from flying out when baking. It started to bog down making cookies, did a good job starting bread dough and the wire beaters stay clear. Like that the beater eject button is not located with the power controls.
I needed a new handmixer and purchased after being careful. It's too fast on lowest setting and flings chunks and flour. The beaters don't cream butter because of size of beaters and speed. Dissappointed.
Easy and great to use. Release button is great , the beaters come out fast and easy. , I love my cuisinart mixer. Actually a lot better than my kitchen aid mixer I had before I replaced it with the cuisinart, a lot cheaper too.
Be prepared- very powerful motor makes it challenging to hold while using. My arm got very tired while making cookie dough. Probably will not use very often because of this. Too bad- was a lot of money
I've not used it yet, but the quality looks great. Only 3 stars due the packaging. WHY does the mixer, cord and manual have to be wrapped individually in plastic??? It came packaged securely in the box, no plastic was needed. A real environmental and monetary waste. PLEASE consider ditching the plastic, the product would arrive in great condition without it.
