The negative posts about KitchenAid were consistent about the motor burning out. I think this is mostly the fault of the user.
This unit boasts 7 quart capacity, but doesn't power through large capacity recipes. I wouldn't use a recipe that calls for over 8 cups of flour.
At this large capacity the motor pulls through but you can hear the strain. Don't think about making over 2 loafs of bread at a time.
This is probably true for KitchenAid.
I wished this mixer was more solid and heavier like I heard from KitchenAid users. It wobbles during high capacity.
One problem with using mixers is the narrow gap to add ingredients
Here's a tip. For dry ingredients like flour place onto a paper plate and then add it to the mixer.
Use shallow bowls for things like eggs.
The splash guard is pretty much useless.
The New Metro Design Beater Blade for Cuisinart is a must. Worth the something bucks.
The cookbook that comes with the mixer repeatedly says to stop and scrape the mixer and blade. What a PITA! With this blade you rarely have to scrape the bowl and blade.
I cannot compare this to KitchenAid just reiterating what I've heard.
Overall this mixer works great. 4 stars.
Great stand mixer - KCgal -
I love the look, feel and power in this mixer. I previously owned a KitchenAid mixer. It was over 35 years old and I dreaded giving it up - but we updated our kitchen to stainless steel and the ivory colored KitchenAid just didn't fit. I planned on buying a new stainless KitchenAid but found out that the newer versions had plastic parts that easily failed. I have only used this Cuisinart to make a large batch of cookies but it did a great job! I can't wait to try making some bread.
Mixer worked for 7 months only - Aleyandra -
I bought a mixer in Nov. 2009 and 2 months ago the motor stopped working and smoke came out. I hate the fact that just because I live ou side of the US, I can not make use of a 2 year warranty. I left my mixer at an authorized shop and I am still waiting for them to get parts for the motor, It's been 2 MONTHS WOW!
Great Buy - jon -
Truly awesome mixer, the order was smooth and the product shipped quickly. I was very happy.
