A New Cuisinart is Right at Home in my Kitchen

I'm older than my mother's trusty mixer, which I'd been using for the past seventy+ years. The machine has been repaired more than a couple times, but as long as it kept spinning, I held on, shoving it back into its corner until the next time I needed it. That says a lot about an old mixer from the fifties and the reputation of its maker.
Last Christmas, though, the poor thing laid down on me, and I knew I was in the market for a new one. I'd used my daughter's mixer, with all the bells and whistles. Pretty snazzy.
Whip. Whip. Whip. All done.
It's not that I couldn't have afforded a new mixer long before, and I confess, I'd considered it a few times. But I knew how to make those old blades sing...even with beaters, warped and bent. Even when the milk-glass bowl slid off its mooring and skidded across the counter.
It was time to go shopping.
Of course I comparison shopped: this brand versus that brand, and both brands pricing. I didn't shop with a pre-determination to buy any particular brand. I just wanted a good product with the attachments I'd need all in a nifty package.
Reputation was the starting point for me. I cared about the strength of the motor. In fact, the motor was key. Do they stand behind their product?
I cared about the company who built it. Does this company have a reputation of building their products well? I wanted equipment that lasted. Remember, I'd used the same old mixer for so many years, and my mother before me. I know what a good product is.
I looked closely at prices: How can that brand be worth that much more than this brand when all else is pretty much equal? Other comparison points being similar...it can't. So my choice came down to: reputation, power, a sensible price, and a warranty.
I chose Cuisinart in a beautiful shade of gray, and I'm so pleased with it I want to shout!
I'm glad for this opportunity to make my case.

Purchased Precision Master 5.5 quart stand mixer as a replacement for a 25year old kitchen aid stand mixer. Kitchen Aid products have become extremely expensive and I was looking for an alternative mixer. I am very happy with my stand mixer. For my needs, it works as well as my old kitchen aid. I would highly recommend this product.

My wife uses the wire whisk in making “divinity candy” Syrup is an ingredient.
The whisks does not scrap the insides of the bowl leaving a 1/16 inch of syrup that needs to combine with the other ingredients. Other than that problem, it is a perfect mixer!!!

This product makes baking so much more fun. As a person who finds baking not only relaxing but in some ways therapeutic, this mixer change my life. It easy too use and clean up is a breeze. I was surprised how quiet it is as well as how strong the motor is handling anything I throw at it without a problem.
I can't wait to purchase a few attachments.

I bought this mostly to knead bread. It does jump around a little, the top bounces which I do not like but overall I am very pleased with it. I do not use the splash guard which would help with the next issue I have as you do not have room to add or scrape the bowl while it is running. You have to turn it off and lift the beaters.

I bought this product for the value. And while there are features that I like, like the tilting head, there are a few things I don't like. I had a 30 year old kitchenaid mixmaster, which I LOVED! The bowl on that was wide enough for me to scrape the sides without removing the blades, the Cuisinart bowl is narrow. I have to actually turn off the mixer, lift the head, and remove the bowl in order to scrape the sides. The paddle does not sufficiently scrape the sides while mixing - which is understandable, however, it's inconvenient not being able to easily do that. My old mixmaster had a rotating bowl and regular beaters and plenty of room to add ingredients, scrape the sides, etc. The plastic spout to add ingredients is too small and should be longer. I wish someone would come up with another model that had the features of a rotating bowl, regular beaters, and wider bowl with handle! THAT would be ideal!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this mixer about two months ago and I have used it for mostly making bread! It has taken a lot of work out of making homemade bread! I think it is a great mixer!
