I purchased this mixer based on the reputation of Cuisinart and the shape of the mixing blades. The round blades make clean up a breeze, and no clogged blades! I was a little surprised at how fast even the slowest speed was, but adjusted easily as I used the mixer. I did notice a bit of a drag while creaming butter and sugar, which lead me to think it may not handle stiffer dough as easily as looser batters and egg whites. For me, that's just fine. Overall, I am pleased with this mixers performance.
Great hand mixer. I use it for sponge cake, pound cake and ever pie crust. It's very sturdy and the wire type beaters are well made. It's powerful and has a high quality feel. I haven't pulled the stand mixer out since this hand mixer arrived
When it came time for another mixer there was no doubt. Cuisinart. The new style blades are great. The mixer is light weight, powerful and as with all Cuisinart products I own. GREAT.
This is the absolute best hand mixer I've ever had, and I've owned at least three. It is lightweight, quiet, beaters are easily inserted and removed, and the swivel cord is especially helpful when storing on a shelf.
I purchased the Power Advantage hand mixer as a replacement to my 50 year old stand mixer. The reason I chose a hand mixer is that I wanted some easy to use and not as bulky as the stand mixer. But I also wanted something that would be reliable and powerful enough to use for different applications.
