Is this the new mixer that has the timer on it? I don't know anything about the Cuisinart mixer but my mom told me about the timer on it and that is just brilliant! I love my KA but have always said it would be perfect with a timer.
yes it has a timer. i have a kitchen aid but it keeps overheating even after i got a new one. so my dh decided it was time for a new one so i dont burn down the house. I am so excited not only does it have a timer but it has 12 speeds and when you choose a speed it starts out gradually and works its way up to that speed.
My KA does the same thing - I was cleaning it last night and I thought I was going to burn my finger on the metal attachment cover - it made two large batches of icing and it got SO hot! I hope you LOVE the new mixer. You'll have to keep CC posted on how great it is! 
I have the 7 Qt, 1000 Watt Cuisinart and LOVE IT!!! 
I have used that thing more than I ever thought... The timer is great. You can start it and do something else without worrying. You're gonna love it. Now...I want the Pasta attachment of gumpaste....lol 
Happy Baking,
Pat
my KA Pro 5 has been leaking oil and is louder than an airplane! I've been thinking about getting a new mixer, but def. want to consider something other than KA. How do you guys like the cuisinart? Is it loud? Any problems with it?
