This is the second one of these I have bought in 6 months that has stripped its gears and become completely unusable while using under light duty (making buttercream frosting). Normally I quite like Cuisinart products.

Speeds are too fast. It has plenty of power but needs slower speeds. Also I have had issues with the dough working it’s way up into where the beaters attach to the motor which makes cleanup difficult. A little disk on the beater blades would help.

There is no low speed on mine. It says low but it beats so fast the food splatters everywhere. I wish it had a low speed.

Absurd speed levels

It’s level 1 speed is so fast, that it is impossible to beat things slowly. So if that’s what you’re starting from, it’s very hard to use if you want to build a gradual speed. Had I known that, I would’ve purchased a different mixer.

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 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.

We've been happy with other Cuisinart products so we replaced an "old faithful" GE with a 5 speed Cuisinart mixer. After 50+ years in the kitchen, this is our favorite hand held mixer ever. We initially were shopping for a 9 speed, but have found 5 speeds are plenty. It is powerful, a comfortable weight, and easy to use. The swivel cord is a nice feature and the simple design of the beaters is excellent (love how they attach and eject; very secure). Yes, there are much less expensive options, but this mixer has been worth the premium price.
