This is my first paddle-style stand mixer, finally replacing my mom's 50+ year old 2-beater spinning bowl workhorse. I would have to agree with other reviewers that the space between the paddle and bowl is somewhat annoying to deal with, as you cannot scrape the sides of the bowl without lifting the mixer, and you can't lift the mixer one-handed to scrape the bowl, thus requiring you to either constantly set your spatula down to lift the mixer, or risk getting batter all over the mixer while you try to finagle the spatula/unlock/lift maneuver. It's also somewhat frustrating that you can't add ingredients while the mixer is running without them getting stuck on the top of the paddle or splashing out. It seems like the mixer head could have been designed with a little more room to access the sides of the bowl.
On the other hand, with a little help from your spatula getting everything incorporated, I really like the variety of mixing speed options. So far I've made cookies, cake and mashed potatoes with the mixing paddle, and pretzels and seitan with the dough hook, all with great results.
I'm not sure if the cost savings is ultimately worth the hassle of not being able to adjust the bowl height, etc., but this mixer definitely works.

I couldn't be happier with my Cuisinart stand mixer - I'm aware that it's only a 'starter' level - but it does absolutely everything I want it to do. And it does those things smoothly, easily, dependably, and without a hitch. I've been making do with really junk appliances, waiting to get a KitchenAid Pro, but I finally decided to go with this starter level Cuisinart and stop waiting for a decent mixer. I love the whisk, the paddle - and the dough hook works brilliantly! I also really appreciate the ability to raise the arm on the mixer, which makes adding ingredients a remarkably easy no mess step. The bowl cover is terrific to keep dry ingredients from spraying out - the only thing that I would nit pick about (and it really is nit picking) is the cover pour spout to add add ingredients isn't really that conveniently designed. But, it's certainly easy enough to slide it off and add ingredients!
Don't think twice - grab this one!

Love it! Works great. I got a less than a month ago and I have already been making bread with it. The only thing I hope for the future is that Cuisinart decides to make a glass bowl to go with it.

Works well. I have used it 5 - 6 times so far, mostly for dough. Was going to order the grinder attachment but decided not to when I saw it was made from Plastic.

This is my first stand mixer I have owner and I am obsessed! I do all my baking and cooking in this mixer! Very easy to use! Cleaning is super easy and taking the attachments off are a breeze! I have purchased so many different mixers over the years and finally decided to get me a stand mixer! I should have done this years ago!
