Precision Master 5.5 Qt. 12-Speed White Die Cast Stand Mixer with Attachments

It's a bad design where the attachments do not tough bottom of the bowl if you are making a small batch. To say this is an intentional design where attachments don't reach to the bottom is ridiculous. Not sure if Cuisinart have actually designed this with real non-commercial bakers in mind. The competitor, KitchenAid's bowl actually lifts up so the paddles/hook touch the bottom to reach all ingredients. Wish I've done more research before buying this. Also, now due to high usage, the dough hook's paint is coming off, of course after the warranty ran out. Finding a replacement deemed to be a difficult task.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this mixer after many years of using a KitchenAid. I read many reviews and decided to give it a go as it was so much more affordable than KitchenAid. I have only had it for a few weeks, but so far so good. The good things I noticed is that when I am kneading bread dough, the mixer stays put and doesn’t move. Also I love that the tilt head stays down and I don’t have to use a separate lock lever. It stays locked up or down by using the head lift release lever. I bake a lot of bread so time will tell, but so far I am happy with my purchase.

My new Cuisinart stand mixer is an excellent choice. With very limited use at this time, the motor runs powerfully, smoothly and quieter than my previous one of another brand.

I abolove this mixer!! It handles dough wonderfully!

I had a Kenmore stand mixer for 12 years, when time for a new one i researched and decided on Cuisinart, received it in a couple of days, delivered very well packed. it is a beautiful machine in pinot color. sturdy very quiet, plenty of speeds and ability to grow in attachments. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.

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’ve wanted a stand mixer for so long. It’s wonderful! Bread making is so easy with this appliance.

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!

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.
