Cuisinart Precision Master 5.5-Quart Stand Mixer, Brushed Chrome

I have used a battery-operated electric drill as my primary mixer for many years and finally decided to make things easier. I had my doubts about this mixer. ONE bowl? Would it be big enough? Would this mixer dance across the countertop and commit suicide by diving to the floor, cracking its head, and splattering cookie dough to the ceiling like my last "real" mixer did? I am familiar with the old egg-beater style beaters. These odd-shaped ones? Would they work? Oh, yeah! I got a 5-dozen batch of cookies in the bowl, the beaters worked like a charm, and the mixer stayed put on the counter where it belonged. The cookies were perfect! The mixer and beaters were a snap to clean. AND I can hardly wait to try the ice cream attachment I ordered the next day. Wheeee!

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.

I absolutely love love love the mixer. Oh my goodness I have wanted one for so long but never coukd afford it. But finally I got one and I use it for everything! I am planning on getting more when I can afford it but the mixer is so wonderful and the color is beautiful! I highly recommend it for anyone!

Absolutely love the look & function of this mixer.

I love my new stand mixer I love that it has 12 speeds and you have the option to buy attachments and you also tecythree main attachments when you receive it out of the box other name brands a lot of places sell separately I made the right choice and I’m so happy with my new cuisinart

I make our own bread, pizza, cakes, cookies etc. so this is a well-used kitchen device. Beautiful and well made.

In the past I have been a KitchenAid fan but I love the Cuisinart Stand Mixer. I make a lot of cookies and cupcakes and this mixer is wonderful. And the price is right as well.

Love my new stand mixer! It's minimalist yet practical and love that you can hide the front section when you are not using other accessories like the grater.

I’ve only used it a couple of times but I absolutely love it. It works better than any other one I’ve had. I read reviews and everything for every stand mixer. I even used the best small appliance rating to find a good one.

It's beautiful and all but I was a bit disappointed. I had to scrape the bottom of the bowl many times to get the dough mixed together. I let it run for 10 minutes and it still left dough on the bottom. I seen YouTubers using KitchenAid and their dough incorporated very well. I read a few reviews before purchasing it with the same problem and I thought I wouldn't have any issues as them. I was wrong. I will still keep it because it's still less work than kneading by hand.
