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 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.
