Title: Close Enough to Perfect
Review: My Kitchen Aid Artisan stand mixer finally wore out after 10 years of use. My inclination was to replace it with a bigger capacity Kitchen Aid, but after doing considerable research into the various mixers available on the market, I eventually settled on the Cuisinart 7 quart SM-70BC. I chose the Cuisinart because: It has a 1000 Watt motor; a two (not one) handled, extra deep mixing bowl which locks into position in such a way that it doesn't overtighten; 12 variable speeds; an automatic timing feature; and non-stick coated paddle and dough hooks for ease of cleaning. It has worked beautifully, even making extremely stiff pasta doughs with ease, and it doesn't dance around the counter like my Kitchen Aid mixer did. My only slight reservation is the splash shield; it is a little tricky to snap into place, but not a big issue. It's all the mixer a home cook could ever need.
