I LOVE MY NEW CUISINART MIXER!! JUST GOT IT FROM THE UPS MAN!!
IT IS SO NICE. IT HAS A BUILT IN TIMER, 12 SPEEDS, AND A HUGE 7 QUART BOWL. I MADE ENOUGH BATTER TO MAKE 30 HUGE GOBS (4 INCH IN DIAMETER). FOR ANYBODY THINKING ABOUT A NEW MIXER I WOULD TOTALLY RECOMEND THE CUISINART 1000 WATT 7 QUART MIXER!!!!!! I WOULD TAKE IT OVER MY KITCHEN AID ANY DAY!
Dang I just got a new KA and the only thing it's missing is a built in timer. You so lucky I HAD A KITCHEN AID MIXER BUT IT BLEW UP!!!!! I HAVENT EVEN HAD IT THAT LONG MAYBE 2 YEARS AT THE MOST. THE RETAILER WHERE I BOUGHT IT WONT TAKE IT BACK THEY SAID TO CALL THE COMPANY SO NOW I AM WAITLING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. BUT I AM REALLY GLAD I BOUGHT THE CUISINART.
I've been debating on getting this mixer too.. I have my kitchen aid 6qt epicurean and nothing is wrong with it, just want a change. I was really excited after seeing the commerical on tv of this mixer so I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to have a look at this 'beast' of a mixer and was pretty disappointed. It is way lighter than my Kitchen Aid and to me it just seems like it was made cheap quality. So I saved my 400 bucks and left. I dunno maybe I'm just used to the "heavy duty" feel of my mixer that I have now and not one that is so lightweight. What are your thoughts?
Just got my Cuisinart day before yesterday too. I am so excited. Made a small batch of choc frosting in it last nite. Had to adjust the paddle attachment just a tad to reach the bottom of the bowl. I can't wait to make my first big batch in it, probably tonite after work. I use Sugarshack's recipe. Does anyone know if I can go up to 7 cups shorting/7 lbs powdered sugar in this bowl. I think I will start with 6/6 and see how it goes. Love the spatter guard that's on there.

PS I like the lightness of the mixer, so much easier to move around.
Yeah maybe I just wasn't used to the feel of it, I wonder how many batches of icing it can make at once? 3?
I have a cuisinart 1000w 7 q bowl and I totally love it. It runs very smoothly. I got it last year for my birthday. So it will be one year this July. My husband surprised me with it. Haven't had any problems . It's absolutely amazing great for multitasking.
MnSnow....how do you make your fondant in it?
It's the one thing I haven't tried. Thanks!
Anyone else tried the Viking? Viking or Cuisinart - who's the winner?
My Piece of Poop Kitchen Aid Blew up too.
I went down to Home Chef and bought a Viking
I love it love it love it. 700 watts of mixing power.....!!!
It's the BEST BEST BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, now I'm depressed. I just looked at my KA and it's only 250 watts. Should it even be running???
LOL, sorry, Don't feel bad, I didnt know any better, Even the heavy duty KA is only 425watts. The Viking even has a 1000 watt one but i didnt want to put out the extra 200 dollars.
Mine broke when I was making MMF. I think the gears stripped. My viking kneads my MMF no PROBLEM!!!
Just use your KA until it breaks....and start saving....its well worth it!!!
i got my kitchen aide last year for a wedding present from a group of girlfriends and i was completely drooling over it (lol) now i've been thinking how nice it'd be to have 2 but if i'm gonna put out the money for another one maybe i should try the cuisinart? (i do notice my ka doesn't like to do heavier mixing-it sounds a bit stiff) hmmmm, more to dream about and save for as i get more orders (first thing i'm buying that's not cake related it a new dress for my cousin's wedding then my DH can't complain about how much i paid for it haha!)
Costco has a Delonghi mixer that is very similar to the cuisinart and they have it for $399 plus you get an extra bowl and two attachments with free shipping..I just got mine and it is awesome! It is very sturdy and looks pretty too

I just got my KA professional series and I believe it is 575 Watts. Hope I like it as much as you all like the Cuisinart!
