Cuisinart Stand Mixer

By Jesse Kesler

 

The Cuisinart SM-70 stand mixer is a serious contender for the all-in-one kitchen machine. To quote a famous marketing line “it slices, it dices, it even does Julian fries!”. Well, maybe not the fries.  The cusinart brand has been around since 1973 when the founder Carl Sontheimer introduced the world to the Cuisinart electric food processor. James Beard and Julia Child, both renown culinary figures, were
early champions of the food processor. The Cuisinart stand mixer line is a robust and durable kitchen appliance that will save you hours of prep time.

The large capacity 7 quart mixer has the power, capacity and precision to handle any job your recipes require. The SM-70 comes with a flat paddle, a wire whisk, and dough hooks. The 1000 watt motor is strong enough for the heaviest dough and features a 12 speed motor for all your mixing needs. This model also has an auto off overload feature that prevents the motor from burning out it if it meets too strong
of a resistance.

 

A feature unique to Cuisinart is the timer which can be set to shut off the motor after 1 to 15 minutes. This means you don’t have to watch the mixer while it works. Cuisinart offers optional attachments that can be purchased separately. Each connects to one of three power outlets on the mixer to let you blend, process food, squeeze juice from your favorite citrus fruits, make perfect homemade pasta, or grind your own meats. These attachments connect to the mixer at three different points called power outlets. Each outlet is designed to operate different types of accessories.

This model features a tilt-back head that lifts the attachments out of the bowl. The head-lift release lever ensures that you can securely lock the head in the upright position to prevent it falling back into the bowl.  The 7 quart bowl comes with a splash guard cover and handles for easy lifting and carrying around the kitchen. The splash guard has a convenient pouring spout which makes juicing and liquid foods a cinch to pour out.

Cuisinart will warranty your new SM-70 or SM-55 (the 5 quart version) stand mixer for 3 full years. Consumers reviews on amazon.com rated the Cuisinart stand mixer 4 out of 5 stars. 


In summary the Cuisinart SM-70 is a definite heavy weight contender for the title of best all in one mixer. It delivers power, durability and value to your kitchen. The suggested retail price of $399 for a new SM-70 or $299 for the 5 quart model is comparable to other quality stand mixers.  You can purchase a Cusinart 5 1/2 Qt Stand Mixer for as little as $255 on Amazon.  You can also get free shipping.
