Customer Reviews
Most reviewers of this product have reported that it is a great mixer when compared to other stand mixers that are currently being offered by other companies. It is a stable machine that does not bounce around at all, even when kneading dough. Many reviewers have been very pleased to find out that they don’t have to scrape the sides of the bowl during use.
Some reviewers have mentioned the competitors’ mixers and the lack of positive customer service and quality in their products. Most users and are looking for a stand mixer that has metal parts instead of plastic.
Many consumers have found this appliance to be very compatible. For example, if you were kneading dough at a certain speed several times in a row, the gears would not freeze up and instead the machine would protect itself by shutting down automatically once it has overheated. Also, the bowl can be easily removed from the mixer unlike other mixers that have the bowl locked in place.
Reviewers mentioned that this Cuisinart stand mixer simply does a better job than other mixers. Many users have commented that it stands the test of time and no matter how long they have had this appliance, it works just as well as it did the first day they bought it.
One complaint that has been brought up has to do with the top cover coming off by accident when the mixer head is raised. This happens if the wrong part is grabbed by mistake.
On the other hand, this is a wonderful feature for ease-of-use. Another complaint has to do with how loud the stand mixer is during operation. This may be offset by the fact that it is superior in performance to many other mixers.
The Cuisinart stand mixer is a good appliance. Users are thoroughly satisfied with its quality of performance and are especially happy with its slow start. This stops flour from puffing and landing all over the kitchen counter. They are also very pleased with the tight seal of the splashguard and the timed mixing. Buttons are easy to manipulate for stopping and starting the machine and also for changing speeds.
Warranty
One of the best things that can be said about the Cuisinart SM-55 800 Watt 5.5 Quart Stand Mixer is its five-year warranty. Many other stand mixers only come with a one-year warranty. Overall, this mixer is highly recommended based on the high ratings given by actual users.
