Review: Very good quality - My wife and I bought this machine as a gift for our daughter. She loves baking and used to spend hours kneading dough for bread and cakes. So we decided to look for a machine that would make her job easier and not be so tiring. We were undecided between KitchenAid and Cuisinart. We chose the Cuisinart, which is more affordable but very powerful and has a larger bowl. It comes with several accessories and is very easy to clean. The timer function is great; you don't have to worry about turning the machine off. It does the job by itself. The variety of colors is a great deal. It's very stable, and being entirely metallic, it doesn't wobble. There's something for everyone. 10 out of 10.
Review: Bigger Motor, Quiet ,Lighter weight, Price compared to an Upgraded Kitchen Aide. - Used 1st time today to make 4 batches of different cookies, over 25 dozen total. 2 were very heavy doughs and the mixer held up like a champ. Very sturdy.(inc.videos and photos) I did notice it vibrates and when starting off creaming butter and sugars, you do have to scrape the bottom of the bowl, but after the flour is added it wasn't an issue. It's quieter and lighter than my old Kitchen Aide, It has a bigger motor and I like that you can lift the head while mixing to clean dough off the blade. I'll check back when I do my bread, which killed my Kitchen Aide mixer!! I chose this because to get a more powerful Kitchen Aide It would've been over $700.00.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The dough hook doesn't reach the bottom of the bowl. Is the height of the mixing head adjustable? There is a screw visible when the head is raised.**
A: I know this is an old question. But just in case anyone else wants to know, yes it is adjustable. When you lift the top back, like you would do to remove or insert the bowl, there is a flat head screw that is visible. If you want the mixer to reach lower into the bowl you turn the screw clockwise (to the right) if you want to lift it turn it counterclockwise (to the left). I would move the screw 1/4 or 1/2 the way around the circle at a time so that you can test it out to make sure you don't move it down too low. If you do just turn the screw back a little and it'll move it back up so you can get it in the right position.

**Q: How do you remove the styrafoam packaging from the mixer?**
A: If you open the bottom of the box by 
simply un-taping it, then turn the box over any product will release and easily slide out.

**Q: Does it not come with regular mixing blades?**
A: The mixing paddle IS the regular mixing blade. Smaller mixers, hand-helds or ones with smaller motors tend to have the two blades, and this just uses the paddle for exactly the same purpose.

**Q: Is it not possible to adjust the height of the bowl or the height of the hook? What should I do?**
A: YES.  You can adjust the height of the mixing accessories.   Tilt the head back.  There is a screw located in the hinge recess. Back it out a little and it will raise the head, creating more space between the mixing accessory and bowl bottom.  Screw it in and it lowers the head, getting the accessory closer to the bottom.  Be aware that none of the accessories should scrape the bowl.  YouTube has videos showing how to properly adjust the head height.  It's very easy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for a major name brand mixer. Compares to the Kitchen Aid for less money!
*by R***T on December 8, 2025*

This mixer is such a great value for the money! The quality compares with Kitchen Aid, but at a better price. It also accepts their attachments. That makes this mixer versatile and adaptable compared to others. The overall size is outstanding. It doesn't take up much counter space or can be easily stored away until you need it. The mixing is so good. I've used it for bread, cookies, biscuits and many other baked items. Quiet and powerful. There are several color choices, so I got the red one for my kitchen. Looks great! I really like the large 5.5 qt stainless bowl. Easy to clean and holds plenty of ingredients. The plastic shield works excellent. It comes with the basic paddles, whisk and dough hook. I really like Cuisinart products and I have no issues with Kitchen Aid. I just think this is a great value when compared side by side. I bought this mixer with my own money. NO BS reviews from me. Just the honest truth and my personal opinion from real world experience with it. Could not find any flaws or serious issues with this mixer or the seller. Highly recommend.
