Do your research before buying Cuisinart.
It's a bad design where the attachments do not tough bottom of the bowl if you are making a small batch. To say this is an intentional design where attachments don't reach to the bottom is ridiculous. Not sure if Cuisinart have actually designed this with real non-commercial bakers in mind. The competitor, KitchenAid's bowl actually lifts up so the paddles/hook touch the bottom to reach all ingredients. Wish I've done more research before buying this. Also, now due to high usage, the dough hook's paint is coming off, of course after the warranty ran out. Finding a replacement deemed to be a difficult task.

We're sorry to hear that the Precision Master 5.5-Quart Stand Mixer has not met your expectations. The clearance between the attachment and bowl is an intentional design feature intended to help protect the integrity of both the bowl and the attachment during operation; however, for smaller batches, periodically stopping the mixer and scraping down the bowl may help ensure ingredients are fully incorporated. Please note that this mixer was designed for home baking applications, and consumers seeking higher-capacity or commercial-duty performance may wish to explore our Waring® commercial product line. Thank you for sharing your experience; your feedback has been forwarded to our team and is valuable as we continue to evaluate our products and consumer experience.
Very happy customer
I purchased this mixer after many years of using a KitchenAid. I read many reviews and decided to give it a go as it was so much more affordable than KitchenAid. I have only had it for a few weeks, but so far so good. The good things I noticed is that when I am kneading bread dough, the mixer stays put and doesn’t move. Also I love that the tilt head stays down and I don’t have to use a separate lock lever. It stays locked up or down by using the head lift release lever. I bake a lot of bread so time will tell, but so far I am happy with my purchase.

Excellent mixer
I have never owned a stand mixer. Due to health issues I needed something different for mixing. I am so happy with how well this works. So glad I found this deal. I’ll use it all the time now. Just curious if there is a smaller bowl.

Average stand mixer
I bought this stand mixer and I do like it BUT my dough hook does NOT go to the bottom of the bowl. I cannot turn the screw for adjusting and there is too much difference to put something under the bowl plate to raise the bowl. This is very frustrating to me. I would not recommend this stand mixer.

We're sorry to hear about your frustration with the stand mixer. The dough hook is intentionally designed not to touch the bottom of the bowl, as this helps prevent damage to both the bowl and attachment; however, overfilling the bowl can affect mixing performance and proper ingredient incorporation. We recommend following the capacity guidelines in the manual and adding ingredients gradually when mixing heavier doughs. We value your feedback as it helps us improve our products and consumer experience, and we thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
My painful hands are saved!
I've had this mixer for a while, just haven't had anything I needed to make with it. Today I made dog treats. The arthritis in my hands makes using a hand mixer a chore I dread, particularly with dough. Today I didn't have to touch anything except a spatula. I very nearly cried for joy. I bake a German chocolate cake from scratch every December for birthdays and it's always been so painful. This year I look forward to it! I should have done this a long time ago. I'm about to turn 70 and this is my first stand mixer. Just do it.

Excellent choice
My new Cuisinart stand mixer is an excellent choice. With very limited use at this time, the motor runs powerfully, smoothly and quieter than my previous one of another brand.

Easy To Use
My sons bought me the PRECISION Master 5.5 Quart Stand Mixer after my Sunbeam stand mixer quit while I was making them Christmas cookies. I made the best, tastiest Italian pizzelles, wedding cookies, and chocolate chip cookies with my new mixer. It ran so smoothly and it was so much easier to get ingredients into the bowl. It really cut down on prep time, too! I keep it on my counter in my small kitchen. It’s never getting put away!
