Cuisinart SM 50BC 5 5 Quart Brushed Chrome Review

I mainly use this mixer for baking. It is very heavy and does not move at all during use. The squirt lid keeps dry ingredients in the bowl rather than all over the kitchen. The motor easily copes with the thickest dough and almost does not heat up. So far I'm impressed. If I have any problems with this, I will update my review.

This was my first food processor. I was so excited to use it. Throw in my butter to whip it up and all it did was spread the butter around the sides and bottom, rubbing a 1 inch layer of butter between the spatula and the sides of the bowl. I ended up using a hand mixer. So a total disappointment. I called Quizinart. The model is not adjustable. I'm returning it and looking for something else that will do the job.

I returned a Kitchenaid that arrived but failed inspection and replaced it with this one. This device is just as powerful, more powerful and costs a lot less money. I'd like to support an American manufacturer, but I'm not willing to pay more for a crappy product. Kitchenaid was already at the bottom of its range, but still not where it needs to be to mix properly.
