The Little Cuisinart Stand Mixer Who Could

By Jesse Kesler

Cuisinart, Kitchenaid, and Bosch all make kitchen stand mixers. They are awesome kitchen appliances that can make huge batches of cookies and bread in practically no time at all. They have powerful motors. The largest mixer weighs over 32 pounds and takes up 3 square feet of counter space. And that’s the problem with kitchen stand mixers.

If you live in a small house or apartment that has a galley kitchen you are never going to buy a Cuisinart SM-70 or SM-50. The SM-70 model weighs almost 25 pounds and requires a large amount of counter space. And let’s not forget that if you live in a small house or apartment chances are you are cooking for 3 people on average. Unless you are a host or hostess who entertains a lot or has a large family who comes to dinner frequently you really don’t need these gargantuan mixers.

Also, consider the cost. A full sized Cuisinart SM-70 has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $399.00. Of course, you can probably get it for less than that. But still. Do you really want to pay $299 for one?

Finally, there is a solution to this dilemma. You can cook in a galley sized kitchen for 2 or 3 people and still have all the advantages of owning a kitchen stand mixer. The Cuisinart HSM-70 is the answer.

Cuisinart HSM-70 Stand Mixer

Why the Cuisinart HSM-70 is the Little Kitchen Mixer Who Could:

The Cuisinart HSM-70 Power Advantage Hand/Stand Mixer solves all the problems of owning a full sized kitchen mixer and fits into the galley kitchen and your budget as if it was made for the position.

This little brother of the Cuisinart SM-50 and the SM-70 is a feature rich, durable, and versatile addition to the Cuisinart line of kitchen appliances. 

Its small size allows it to fit in a space as small as 15” x 13” x 10”. That’s a lot less space than its bigger brothers require.

The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is only $79.95! And you can find refurbished models for around $50!  Buy a Cuisinart HSM-70 on AmazonStand Mixers).  Truthfully, if you can't afford this model you are financially challenged to the max.

Most inexpensive mixers don’t measure up. They don’t have enough power. They break after about six months or 10 uses whichever comes first. And the warranty is usually only good for 90 days. Just long enough for the motor to last before it burns out on use number 10. The Cuisinart HSM-70 has a 3 year limited warranty that will cover the motor burning out.
