I bought this Hand Mixer to add to my growing Cuisinart Collection; Toaster Oven/Air Fryer, Blender, Food Processor, Toaster, Milk Shake Blender, Bread Maker, Microwave Oven etc. Love this company!
I always use Oster previously, but their products have a tendency to break where the beaters are, so after my last Oster mixer got stripped again, I decided to try another brand. I choose Cuisinart because of the speed. I make cakes and need to whip the icing and need a really powerful mixer. While Cuisinart doesn't compare with Oster, I am glad that I chose this brand. I was pleasantly surprised with the power of this model and the easy to release beaters. As far as how long it lasts, time will tell.
I got this mixer for my birthday and I love it! It's light weight and fits in my hand perfectly! It's metal beaters are an assurance that your ingredients are being mixed well and with the different speeds makes it faster. It has a release trigger to release the beaters that is easy and fun. It comes with an instruction book that is step by step instructions and easy to understand with an extra bonus of some delicious recipes! Over all I am very happy with my birthday gift!
About this about a month ago i bought this mixer and I'm fairly pleased with it. I do find that this is heavy and a little on the big side. What I don't like about it is, in position 1 it still goes super fast and splatters everything everywhere. One should be slow and then graduate to fast or faster.
