I purchased this to replace a hand mixer I owned for 40+ years. I know the Cuisinart name and own a few products under this name but this is my first Cuisinart hand mixer. So far I am pleased.
I had this model for years and LOVED it. It stopped working so I purchased a Black and Decker. I sent it back. There was NOT enough power compared to this Cuisinart model. I immediately purchased this Cuisinart..... lesson learned!
