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.
Bought this mixer to replace my Oster mixer of 20 years and hope it will last as long! Sturdy, stylish beaters, and only one set that does it all, rather than the two sets (whipping or beating) we all used in the past. The cord swivels so that it can be out of the way when you stand it up. Happy with it and highly recommend it.
