Cuisinart SM-50CO Precision Master 5.5-Quart 12-Speed Stand Mixer with Mixing Bowl, Chef's Whisk, Flat Mixing Paddle, Dough Hook, and Splash Guard with Pour Spout, Blushing Coral, Manual

A stand mixer has been on my list of things to get for the kitchen for quite a while, but as we all know, they are expensive. When this one went on sale at the best price I had ever seen, I knew it was the time to buy. We have used it many, many times since purchasing it. It works perfectly for breads, cookies, whipped cream, frosting, etc. We also bought the pasta attachment and made homemade pasta almost weekly.We have definitely gotten our money's worth out of it and are very happy we invested in this stand mixer. Whether it's on sale or regular price, it is worth buying. Highly recommended!!

Great machine - easy to use, store, and to clean! I've made my gluten free sugar cookies with this mixer and I make gluten free sourdough bread dough (a couple loaf sets) weekly in this. It's been wonderful! I bought this at the November 2024 holiday season as a gift to myself and I am glad that I did, given that it has not just aided me in weekly baking, but saves me time with it. This is really easy to clean and wipe after each use and to clean the bowl, too.The machine was packed really well and arrived on time after ordering it. It comes with everything I needed, all the paddles and hooks, and a nice splash guard too. The settings and maneuverability of this machine are really easy to work with. I love the size of the bowl for all the things I need to make with it. My husband has used it for his mashed potatoes as well. It stores easily on our counter. I did buy a cover and a case for it and do recommend that if you have dust or pets. I do think having a mixer slide on the counter would make it even better to store and use.This unit is hearty and will last years to come. I am glad I bought this brand, it is really worth the decent price.

The reviews all say KitchenAid is the best, right? It's also double the cost of this mixer from Cuisinart. This stand mixer has a more powerful motor and powers through tough tasks like bread dough with ease. It has great mixing ability for cake batter, doughs and whips cream effortlessly. It has a good weight, enough to hold it firmly on the countertop but you don't need 2 people to take it out of a cabinet. Feels strong and durable to use. True, it doesn't come in as many colors as Kitchen Aid, but it does look great in the colors offered. If you don't use or need all the special attachments, save some money and give this mixer a try.

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter. I chose this over cheaper brands as I read they were quite noisy when running and this one is fairly quiet. It is sturdy, not too heavy, and excellent and fit and finish. We use this when we bake together and we can have a conversation when it’s running without raising our voices to be heard. It’s a very solid built mixer and stores away with ease.

The media could not be loaded. In search of a new mixer that would handle bread dough, I read reviews, articles, and watched videos for weeks and hours. In the end I chose to compare the Instant (Instapot) mixer and this Cuisinart. Although I eventually chose the Cuisinart, here are the pros and cons of this mixer:PROS...1. I love how the housing lifts. It has weight, and it doesn't kick up. It is nice and smooth.2. A feature not all mixers have is for the beaters to be able to continue rotating while the housing is lifted so that extra batter can be released. This one has that ability!3. The attachments connect smoothly and are ALL metal!4. The dial for speed is easy to use and even has a helpful attachment and speed key near it. However, that should be imprinted, not a sticker.5. I love the magnetic cover that easily hides the front opening for add-on attachments.CONS...1. The motor size is only 500W, which is not typically good for heavy doughs. However, this Cuisinart is supposed to handle them, and it has a 3-year warranty, so I am hopeful the company knows the appliance.2. The bowl size is only 5.5 qts, and bread mixing usually requires 6.5. Again, we'll see how well that works in the long run. I would have liked to see the bowl slightly offset on the stand so it is easier to add ingredients.3. Finally I do not like this style of splatter guard. It is in two pieces and must be removed when changing out the beaters. I prefer the style that connects to the lifting head.Overall, I am happy with my choice, and I look forward to decades with this mixer.

Much improved over my old Mix Master. Larger capacity, more power, bread paddles, nice red color, quieter.
