Negative Positive
Title: Weakling
Review: I just received this mixer and promptly put it to work. I made a bread dough recipe that I routinely make with a Kitchenaid Ultra. Please note that my faithful Ultra is the 2nd smallest stand mixer made by Kitchenaid. The Cuisinart failed half way through the kneading process. It evidentally blew a thermal overload switch and just stopped. This is supposed to be a high end unit meant for heavy mixing but this mixer is mostly plastic and the wattage has no relivance to it's ability to knead dough. If I had to do it over, I would purchase a Kitchenaid Pro and save $150 in the bargin! There are reviews on other pages for this mixer, and they praise the mixer for the large capacity bowl. There is a world of difference between mixing cakes and kneading dough. I find praise for the timer mechanism strange. I cannot imagine a circumstance where I would leave a mixer unattended so why have a timer?
Is the review positive or negative?
