We are reviewing the Cuisinart Precision Master SM-50 Stand Mixer – after 12 hours of testing by kneading bread dough, whipping egg whites, and making fresh pasta with the attachment, here our both PROs and CONs of the mixer.The Cuisinart Stand Mixer is a 5.5 quart, 500-watt machine with 12 speed setting. It comes in 3 colors: brushed chrome, red and white. This model of stand mixer resembles the KitchenAid so much that we had to look twice! A few years ago, we owned the Cuisinart SM-55 stand mixer, which looked more squat, square and modern. But it looked out of place in more traditional-designed kitchens. But design was the least of its problems – the older SM-55 model just never performed well, with a funky designed paddle, hard to grip handle on bowl, a bowl that looked more like an ice bucket than mixing bowl, and a heavy tilt head that always threatened to tip the machine over.
