Cuisinart has a new stand mixer, the Cuisinart SM-70 . With a 7 quart capacity and 1000 Watt motor it seems (can’t verify since I haven’t tried it – Hint Hint Cuisinart if you want to send me one) to outshine my Kitchenaid Professional Six series. While I would really appreciate the larger capacity, I have never felt like I needed more power. You can get most of the same accessories (but no ice cream maker) but the most attractive feature is the tilt-back that the Kitchenaid does not have. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come in all the fun colors, just white and chrome. It retails for about $499 on Amazon
Do you know anyone who has tried this model out yet ?
No, sorry. I would like to get some feedback on it too!
Hi Jessica, Kitchenaid Professional Six are numbers better than the Cuisinart stand mixer. Just my opinion and here’s why: eventhough the Cuisinart seems to have a more powerful motor – the whole model is plastic with low quality features – and the gears inside are not comparable to that of KitchenAid because KitchenAid has planetary all steel gears and handmade motor. On Cuisinart the chrome parts are really painted plastic. Yes more powerful motor but the whole thing will break down way before KitchenAid would. KitchenAid Professional Six has 575 watts of a very high quality motor that is thick metal housed inside the model that will last decades, while the Cuisinart will just last until it breaks down.
