Title: Good mixer....when it works.
Product review: I can't complain about the performance but it sure hasn't lasted long. We have only used this mixer for just over a year and have been happy with the power and overall performance. However, the mixer will no longer hold the beaters in place. I took the unit apart and noticed that the only thing holding the beaters in place are some very cheap, plastic collets which easily break and of course replacement parts are not available. We intentionally paid more for this mixer thinking that we would be getting a better quality unit but apparently with Cuisinart you don't get what you pay for.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
