This is my first stand mixer. I've used it a dozen times since I purchased it last week. I first purchased the Kitchen Aid Pro 600 mixer with 575 watts- heavy and a bit bulky, shifting between different speeds was kind of stiff, and I didn't like the bowl lift design. I exchanged it the next day for the Cuisinart 5.5 Quart Stand Mixer which was much more modern looking and had a sleek style- much smaller, shifted between speeds very smoothly, and had a tilt head design which makes it easier if you need to scrape down the inside of the bowl and I think they are easier to change over from the whisk to the paddle or dough hook. Initially, I was concerned because of it's lighter weight that it might wobble off the counter top while mixing and kneading heavy bread doughs but I've had no problems so far. I love the digital timer and fold function-- this really sold me on it. This mixer looks great and works great!

We liked our old Kenmore model with a 575 watt motor. Though sometimes it bogged down.
This Cuisine model greatly outperforms the kenmore. The easy of use is similar. I recommend it to anyone needing a stand mixer. Does very good on heavy doughs as well. To Cuisine-- why haven't you made a opposite hand unit. This is a very good model, it should be available in both, L.H. and R.H. models.

This can be a very versatile piece of equipment with the various outlets on it for blender, food processor, pasta maker or meat grinder.
As a stand alone mixer, I have found it easy to operate and easy to keep clean. As a replacement for an old Hobart Professional which I cannot replace, it is highly successful.
I would recommend it for anyone who needs a mixer with a little bit more power than the average less expensive, less powerful machine. Furthermore, as part of my kitchen, the design is very atteractive.

I am very happy with my decision to go with this mixer. It is quiet and it seems to work effortlesly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a well built machine that will stand the test of time.

I bought this to replace a 5 qt. KitchenAid Artisan. I do a little cake decorating and I needed something that would handle large batches of buttercream icing a couple times per week, as well as general kitchen use. It was a toss up between this one and the KitchenAid Pro. I was a little nervous about spending so much money on something that doesn't have the solid reputation that KitchenAid mixers have, but I'm so glad I took the chance! This is a wonderful mixer!! In my opinion, it is far superior to the KitchenAids in almost every way. I would recommend this to anyone.
Pros:
It handles large and small quantities equally well.
The more powerful motor is wonderful! It handles lots of heavy dough and icing with ease.
The splash guard forms a tight seal. Not air tight, but when I make huge batches of buttercream icing (using 5# of powdered sugar) it keeps in all the powdered sugar dust and I don't have quite so much to clean up afterward. In fact, I have very little to clean up!
If you start on a high speed it gets faster gradually so that you don't end up splashing what is in the bowl all over you.
The timer turns the mixer off automatically when time's up. No more over mixing!!
The paddle, whisk and dough hook are dishwasher safe.
I can't say anything about the attachments as I don't have any yet, but I love that I can add a blender or chopper to it without having to by the whole small appliance.
Cons:
It is mostly plastic and therefore much lighter than the KitchenAid. I haven't found this to be a problem at all with it walking of wobbling like I thought I would. But, the plastic body makes it look kind of cheap.
It is louder than my KitchenAid was.
Overall, the cons are very minimal. I've not found them to be enough of a bother to skew my opinion of the mixer. I absolutely LOVE this mixer and I will never go back to KitchenAid!
