Cuisinart

Cuisinart is one of the most respected names in the food preparation industry – and for good reason. Their line of stand mixers will amaze and delight in the kitchen.

7 Quart Mixer

The 7 Quart Cuisinart mixer is on the higher end of home mixer options, and it is easy to see why. Packed with features and power, you will find this to be the most useful kitchen tool in your arsenal. It features a very powerful 1000 watt motor (most home mixers have less than half that) that can help you whip up everything from fluffy egg whites to stiff cookie dough. What else does this mixer have to offer?

As you may have guessed by now, this tilt-head mixer has a 7 quart bowl. It is made of stainless steel, and this, combined with the die-cast metal construction ensures great durability and a long useful life ahead. Twelve speeds, plus slow-start and gentle-fold features, offer you tremendous control. You will also find a 15 minute countdown timer, auto shut-off, splashguard, and 3 convenient power outlets. The 7 Quart Mixer comes with a chef’s whisk, dough hook, and flat mixing paddle, which will handle an infinite variety of tasks. You can also opt to add optional attachments, such as a citrus juicer, meat grinder, blender, pasta-maker, and food processor. This Cuisinart stand mixer will quickly become your go-to for all types of jobs.

5.5 Quart

While it may be a bit smaller than the previous model, this 5.5 Quart mixer is still more than capable of helping you feed a bunch of hungry family members or make batch after batch of holiday cookies. It, too, has a more powerful motor than is standard among other mixers. 800 watts of power allow the 5.5 Quart to handle heavy-duty tasks, including double recipes. Like the 7 Quart, this one features 12 speeds, slow-start, gentle fold function, and a 15 minute countdown timer. You will also find the chef’s whisk, flat mixing paddle, dough hook, and splash guard.

The 5.5 Quart can be equipped with attachments for meat grinding, pasta making, juicing, blending, and food processing, so you will find it very helpful in a range of kitchen situations, from making a quick smoothie to preparing a large meal to whipping up a delicious dessert. The stainless steel bowl and durable metal construction mean you will be turning to this mixer time and again for years to come. As with the bigger 7 Quart, this mixer has a 3 year product warranty and a 5 year motor warranty.

If the 7 Quart is just a little too much in terms of size or price, this Cuisinart mixer will be a great fit.

Power Advantage

If you think a Cuisinart mixer is out of your price range, then the Power Advantage will be a very welcome surprise. This is a combination handheld/stand mixer which allows you the Cuisinart quality you want, the versatility you need, and a price that is great for nearly all budgets. For under $100, you can have the Power Advantage’s 220 watt motor helping you create great dishes and treats.

The Power Advantage has 7 speed settings and can be used for a wide variety of tasks. The 3.5 quart stainless steel mixing bowl makes this a good choice for those who want enough food – but not industrial quantities. This mixer is made to be extremely user-friendly with features like the 1-step power switch with LED display, SmoothStart function to minimize splattering, easy-release button to use hand mixer, and convenient tilt-back head. You will receive the chef’s whisk, flat beaters, and dough hook, as well.

Cuisinart’s hand/stand mixer is a great choice whether you are on a budget or not. It is very versatile and can be used for a wide range of jobs. It doesn’t feature some of the more advanced bells and whistles that other Cuisinart mixers have (you have to scrape the bowl as you mix, for instance) but it is a solid, reliable choice for any kitchen.

Cuisinart has earned their reputation for quality and durability. One of their high quality mixers is an investment well worth making. You’ll see returns on that investment in no time.
