This product was much better than I expected. I have owned a Cuisinart hand held mixer for over 10 years and it recently gave up the ghost (too many cookies)!

So in searching for a replacement I tried a KitchenAid mixer instead. What a disappointment! It didn't have the power I had experienced with my 7 speed Cuisinart. I didn't want to spend more money on another 7 speed (and I couldn't find one locally) so I decided to try the 3 speed figuring I would have to settle for a degrading in power.

Surprise, surprise the 3 speed is just as good if not better than my previous 7 speed and less than half the price!

I would definitely recommend this mixer. Good product and I have always found Cuisinart's customer service people to be helpful when I have had to call.

I am an avid cook and adore my KitchenAid stand mixer and thought I'd never need a hand mixer again. Not so, I find myself pulling this little baby out often. It's got the guts to whip cookie dough to a froth.

Light enough to avoid fatigue but not flimsy feeling and small enough to store in a drawer. Cleanup is quick and easy, no center stem poles to scrape.

The power can be overwhelming even on low. If you need to "stir" do it by hand because this just doesn't seem to have a delicate cycle.

Beaters are definately designated and should be noted, because it will seem like they are in right and one will drop out which, if you were to turn it on would probably hurt(listen for the distintive click). The beaters are long (a plus imho)but must use deep bowls or splatter guards to contain batter.

If you want a strong, simple, great price hand mixer go for it.

This was the first time in many years that I purchased a new hand held mixer. I did not know what to expect as my old hand held mixer had settings from 1 to 10. I researched many brands of hand held mixers on line and read reviews from each one. I decided to purchse the Cuisinart even though it only had 3 speeds. Many of the new mixers are that way and I just could not understand why fewer speeds. Anyway, I chose the Cuisinart and I am certainly overjoyed with its' performance and power. It is very easy to hold while mixing and the 3 speeds are all that I could ever want or need. I am amazed at the tremendous power of speed 3 and the lower power of speed 1. This is all you will ever need for mixing. I love the new beaters that have no center post. Talk about easy cleaning, this is a snap! It is such an excellent built electronic mixer and so handsome in style. Get it today!

I love the extra long batters of this hand mixer that bring a lot of air in the egg whites and make the result fluffier. My problem is now to find an extra deep mixing bowl to avoid splashing all this outside the bowl!

This hand mixer probably would be great if I were making bread or something that needed the power that it delivers, but I am not. Unfortunately the low speed is just too fast and I am going to either return it or sell it. When I try and pre-mix sugar and butter I just make a mess because the low speed flings the mixture around the kitchen. It seems well constructed, but I tend to think that hand mixers should be versatile and this one is not. I am going to purchase a mixer with more speeds for finer control.

Just as the title says. This product gets the job done. I used it first to make a Pavlova. It came out fabulous! Then to whip the cream for the pavlova! And to make crepes with the left over egg yolks from the Pavlova. Then I used it again three days later for chocolate cake and then again for the ganache for the chocolate cake. NO bubbles in the chocolate ganache! And yet again a week later for my lemon chiffon cake with butter cream frosting.

To put it to the ultimate test I started with TWO STICKS OF COLD STRAIGHT OUT OF THE REFRIGERATOR BUTTER for my butter cream frosting to see if my new beater would indeed cut through it as it had promised, and it did! (without me having to cram it against the bowl) My butter cream came out amazingly light and airy. It made frosting a dream.

This mixer is great, it can make whipped cream extremely fast, and there are never any lumps in anything. It is powerful enough to mix cookie dough that is mostly flour, making the process of baking Toll house cookies fast and easy, without making my arm ache from hand mixing. I know a few people complained about not having a low enough speed, and I guess it's possible I may run into that, but I've had it over 6 months, and have never had that problem yet. I highly recommend this item to anyone who doesn't have the funds to buy a super strong expensive mixer and to anyone whose current mixer just isn't getting the job done. I love it.

Excellent mixer. There are 2 important features with this mixer that I have been unable to find in the past. The first is that, while the high speed is strong enough to use on cookie dough, the low speed is blessedly just that: LOW. You can start mixing with no splashing all over the place. The second feature I like is that the beater eject button is very easy to depress and I don't have to call my husband to come and push it for me. If these things matter to you, buy this one.
If it only had a rewindable or removable cord, I would be thrilled but I won't hold it against Cuisinart because no mixers seem to have these features.

Sturdy little mixer with a lot of power. Best hand mixer I've ever purchased. I always buy those low end basic models. This is just a few dollars more and there's a huge difference.

Ours worked well for two years; recently, however, one of the beaters has stopped turning reliably--the (plastic?) gears inside seem to have stripped. Since warranty service is 1/3 the whole cost of a new unit, we will probably try our luck with another brand.
