Excellent as a stepping stone

| Reviewer: James Bergstrand, |
I recently purchased this mixer because I was questioning whether or not to purchase the much-celebrated Kitchen-Aid Artisan Mixer. My reasoning: "for far less money, I'll purchase this mixer and see how often I really use it, and if it warrants a larger purchase in a year or two."
I opened the box and promptly made a batch of cookies which turned out delicious! Two weeks later I made cupcakes and the batter was COMPLETELY smooth, no lumps and NO handmixing. I really enjoy that the bowl spins while mixing, the power is substantial, and it is not a large appliance and can be left out on the counter if desired.
I haven't used the dough hooks yet, but plan to make pizza with it soon, perhaps I'll add to this review at that time.
For now, I am completely satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to occasional bakers who don't want to shell out three times as much $$ for something they will only use a few times a year. |
Great stand/hand mixer!

| This is a great mixer. I got it because my old hand mixer died, and I wasn't sure if I wanted a stand mixer or not. I love the versatility of being able to use it as a hand mixer or use it with the stand. It's really quite durable, and I really enjoy using it. The beaters have a little foot to keep the stainless steel bowl moving. Very handy! It was well worth it! I can't wait to do some more baking so I can use it more often. Great item, I highly reccommend it. |
Excellent Mixer for the Price!

| I am very happy with this mixer. I've wanted one for a long time, but many of the sturdy ones were too pricey for me. This one is just right! It does everything you could want and is very durable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile, quality mixer at an affordable price. |
Thank You!

| I bought this item as a gift for my mother who wanted one and I could not afford to spend the big competitors prices. I paid about $65.00 and it was listed as brand new with a dented box and came exactly as described....thank you for the wonderful deal. My mother loves this and she made me some cookies right away. She is really glad I didn't spend the big bucks as this is her first mixer and she is completely satisfied with it. It seems sturdy and should last her for years. A wonderful machine that gets the job done. |

| I bought this mixer for my wife because she was tired of using a cheap handmixer we bought at Walmart. She loves it because she can use it as a handmixer and standmixer. It works very well in both phases and she doesn't have any complaints yet. |
Great little mixer

| This is a great mixer -- can be used hand-held or on the stand. Perfect for anyone who likes to bake but can't afford (or doesn't have space for) a big mixer. |

Cuisinart HSM-70 Power Advantage Hand/Stand Mixer
I am very pleased with my new "hand mixer". It is light weight, very efficient, easy to clean, and quiet. I'd recommend this to everyone. Also, it is reasonably priced and gets the job done. In other words, I like my new
appliance very much. Hazel |

| I love this machine. I've always wanted a stand mixer and this one is perfect. I love the offset bowl so that it minimizes the side scraping required. It has more than enough power to handle the thickest doughs. I love it! |
GREAT BUY

Bought this because it was on sale and because of the name brand.
Iam NOT sorry this is well worth the money and does what it says. I replaced an older hand held this one is sooo much better, lighter for one.
I will say fro my mall hand the speed button is in an odd place, a matter of getting used to.

It's working pretty well.

I just started working with this mixer. It's working pretty well for a hand/stand mixer. The only thing that may make other people consider other mixers is the fact that this one spins around the outside of the bowl. That leaves the ingredients in the center needing a little extra hand mixing, which is fine with this machine. I can detach the mixer from it's stand and just mix through the remaining ingredients.
It's working fabulously for me so far. It has a 3.5qt flat bottomed bowl, a spatula, 1 set of beaters, dough hooks and a bubble whisk. For the price it's great. I'm hoping this one will last. It's got the retro styling and is compact enough to stay on my counter without taking up too much space. |

| The HSM-70 was selected to replace a similar Krups product that served well for over 20 years. This one looks like it should do the same. It is powerfull but light and flexible. The warranty is 3 years and if Cuisinart follows through as they have on other products we've owned, it has real value. So far, we're very happy with the products performance. |

| I have only used my mixer once so far, but was pleased with the way it worked. I had to refer to the booklet to find the various parts, and how to use it, but it worked fine, cleaned up easily,and did a good job of mixing. |
good choice

I purchased this mixer in April, 2009 and have used it several times. I like that you can turn it on and finish up whatever else you're doing w/o the contents of the deep bowl splashing all over the kitchen counter. The fact that it mixes on the side and most of the time you have to use a spatula to move the contents or use the handmixer can be a bit of an inconvenience, but for the price, it's worth it. It also is easy to clean although as one other reviewer said, the batter tends to stick to the little ledge on one of the beaters. However, I would purchase it again.

| Reviewer: Louis Ricciardi, Cleveland, OH |
| It's no stand mixer. I've used it so far to make pizza dough, pretzel dough and cupcakes. it's worked alright for me. I do like the stainless steel bowl that comes with this mixer but otherwise it's not as powerful as I'd like. |
Ease of a hand mixer with the function of a stand mixer

| Now, granted I have only used this two times, so I can' speak for its longevity, but this is a nice convenient mixer - works as promoted. We have made a cake in it as well as mashed potatoes. |
Nice appliance

| This a very versatile appliance. The motor separates from the stand to become a hand mixer. The stand comes apart to store easily. I would recommend it. |

I only use a mixer at Christmas time, since I try to cook the "interesting recipes", I have found during the year. This mixer works as advertized and is perfect for my yearly cooking.
My wife cooks the rest of the year.
Now can anyone explain why my pound cake was so dry?
