This is an excellent mixer with plenty of power to mix bread dough and for any other type of mixing. However there is a design flaw with the attachment mechanism for the dough hooks or other attachments. Initially it worked OK but after about 6 months of regular use the attachments would come loose when mixing and fall out. Now I have to push the attachments down on the bottom of the bowl for them to stay on the mixer. It would be good if future models addressed this issue by changing the design of the attachment mechanism. Then it would get a full 5 star rating from me.

Love this mixer! It’s perfect for mixing cheesecake, handles cream cheese and heavy cream with ease. It’s also relatively quiet and easy to clean. The case is nice and compact and easy to store. It was very reasonably priced. I am glad I bought this instead of a stand mixer.

I am just beginning my baking journey and so far I got no complains. It is very easy to setup, and use. The built-in storage was a bonus. You can really see and feel the quality of the material, it is a keeper indeed.

I have been traumatised with buying a cheap hand mixer as mine blew up on my face a few minutes of use. Now I decided I want the one with quality in mind so it will last longer and I don't need to keep buying another one. Only time will tell for me how long this product will last but so far so good.

Overall, if you want a keeper, get this so you won't have to go back to square one of doing lots of research and reading reviews.

I ordered the Cuisinart 9 speed hand mixer this week online - received it after 4 days - opened the box, attached the blenders to the mixer...switched the power on- but NO power would come through. Tried all 9 settings on mixer...just a dull buzzing sound. Dead. Very disappointed with this purchase. Contacted supplier which were very helpful re exchanging. But brand new from the box- dead as a dodo, with zero power coming through! Yes, the power switch was on at the wall.

Thank you to everyone who wrote a review for this amazing mixer. I had bought another well-known brand, read its product reviews (which were all bad) and then read these. As a result, I took that hand mixer back to the store and exchanged it for the Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-Speed. It is the best hand mixer I have ever had. I would highly recommend it. From an unhappy customer to a now happy customer.

I have just replaced our old Heritage model for this one (it's a HM-90RSXA), I was thrown off a little as where it was being sold was $140 so I um n rd then went back to check and found it was on say for $100 posted.
I found that this unit is very sturdy and a little heavier than the older one, has a 3yr warranty on it and as per other reviews has it's own compact storage combo, which is a plus in any kitchen where everything is in one place.
The attachments are easy to work out as they have their own place to go ie; both or single use.
I have used it by whipping up some cream which took half the time as the old one as you use the whisk and not the beaters
So yes a perfect appliance for any kitchen.

If you are looking for a versatile, powerful, well made and compact hand mixer this is the one for you.
I have owned mine for about a year and it has been great for making light and fluffy pavlovas and cakes. It packs neatly away with its own in-built storage compartment, which is handy if you are looking for a space-saving gadget. Plus it looks great. Very reliable, no problems at all.

This is a really good little kitchen wizzard: i reviewed these extensively when my old one died, and the key benefit for me was that it scored really well in dough mixing. I make bread every now and then (that's how the old one died), and pizza dough, pastry etc. this one kneads it all very quickly and doesn't seem to struggle. And it is cute too, and comes with the little storage box, handy to keep it all tidy.
powerful and compact

I've been wanting a cuisinart hand mixer for a long time. This one is really nice and strong, well designed and does everything you expect it to. It has nine speeds - but I have not gone higher than the 5th speed - nine might be considered a little "OTT"!?! It has no problem with the lightest of jobs to quite heavy cake mixes. The snap on storage box is a cracker of an idea - very nice.
quality, design, storage case
not much - to be picky I could say the storage box was a little tricky...snug at first - but on using it four or five times, it has got easier to use.
