I absolutely love the KA mixer by the way.The warranty for this product requires paying for shipping for both old and newLOVE IT! It will cut up cold butter easily.Edit :Got the Kitchen Aid 9 Speed mixer and the video I uploaded shows the dramatic difference in slow speeds.

It's super powerful for an inexpensive hand blender, so if that is what you need, yes, get this. At level 1, this thing will spit stuff all over the place.

For that I'll stick with my immersion blender. That might be one drawback-this mixer is so powerful that I can easily see it slinging whipped cream all over the kitchen. It also comes with a wire whisk for whipping cream, although I haven't tried that yet. The Cuisinart comes with a set of wire beaters that are substantial enough to handle any cookie dough, and they don't have the center post going all the way through the beaters so your dough doesn't end up getting all hung up in your beaters. Great for right or left-handed bakers, and helpful when you've got a plug on one side or the other in the kitchen. This mixer is small and light and easy to handle, and it's got this really neat swivel cord so you can push the cord out of the way and it doesn't drag in your cake batter. I don't think there's much that a sugar cookie won't cure. The new Cuisinart is extremely powerful-as a matter of fact I haven't had the nerve to rev it up over a 3! I do all my own baking, and take cookies to the office as a way to lighten up the mood of the office these days. I had been using my old reliable Black & Decker hand mixer (very very old) that I had bought myself 25 years ago.

I received a new Cuisinart PowerSelect 5 speed Electronic hand mixer as a Christmas gift. The best solution I've found is to use a very large bowl (8 qts) which is deep enough and wide enough to contain any wayward ingredients. It starts off too fast, which is somewhat of a problem when trying to beat something light or powdery (cake/pudding mixes, creaming sugar into butter, etc). The only issue I really have with this mixer is that the low speed isn't really very low or slow. I do like that this mixer is strong enough to handle even the stickiest of doughs (which my old Hamilton Beach mixer never could handle) without getting bogged down. The beater attachments are also fairly long, so the batter would have to work itself up ridiculously high for it to come anywhere near the motor anyway. not a good thing, because it's not exactly easy to clean out! The Cuisinart HM-50 5 speed mixer solves this problem by getting rid of that center post there's nowhere for the dough/batter to get caught up. The problem with most mixers I've used is that the center posts on the beaters sometimes get clogged up with dough/batter, and if you're not careful, it works its way up into the vents for the motor.

Even though I have a stand mixer, there are just some times that you need a good hand mixer.
