Stand Mixer (7-qt.): Brushed Stainless by Cuisinart

Pros. I do like this mixer and the construction design. It has so far proven to stand up to the the tasks I put at it. It has been able to stand up to heavy loads that I have put it up to. It is not as heavily built as I thought it would be but does seem to be of solid design and has not had any problems under heavy work loads. I have been able to use the mixing attachments and they have worked well. I have not got any of the excessories and tried them out yet. I would like to get the blenders and meat grinder and try them out. It is easy to clean and has worked very well so far. It has been a couple of months.

The brownies and bread were done with such ease,<br>I know batters and cupcakes will soon be a breeze.<br>It beats and it kneads and yet folds eggs so gently,<br>I feel like a baker or one of the gentry.<br>Words can't express how useful the timer,<br>I can write poetry and not have to mind her.<br>For their promptness and care, my thanks to your crew,<br>and for Eco friendly packing, praises are due.<br><br>Enough of the thinking, the writing and rhyming,<br>Cookies are done! The timer is chiming.

I purchased this mixer after returning my kitchen aid mixer. The kitchen aid mixer wasn't able to handle my bread dough recipes (the mixer would stop and make a weird buzzing noise) plus the locking head would unlock and fly up when the mixer was on (not a real safe thing to happen). Since I was fed up with not only the KA mixer and their customer service, I decided it was time for a change. I decided to go with the Cuisinart SM-70 in the brushed stainless (silver) This mixer is impressive, it cuts right through my heavy dough recipes with ease. I really like the timer and fold buttons (very useful) plus this mixer looks nice! This mixer is powerful, stylish and easy to use. If you're looking for a mixer that wont bog down on you, look no further.

I was able to make 6 loves of zuke bread at once, a double recipe of cake and a quad recipe of cookies, so that really pleases me.

I have had Kitchenaid mixers for years, but the Cuisinart mixers are much better in my opinion. The bowl is much deeper and I think that everything is incorporated much better. I love the timer. You can walk away and it will cut off by itself. It's the best purchase ever.
