I can't express how much I love this product! I have wanted a Kitchen Aid for as long as I can remember. With my budget, I went for this Cuisinart instead. I am SOOO happy that I did. It does everything a Kitchen Aid can do, accessories, etc., for a fraction of the price. I have used it at least 3 times every week for cakes, cookies, breads. I can't wait to get the pasta attachment...! This product is so easy to use as well. I was very intimidated when I opened the box at first. Once it was all put together, looked over the instructions, I was ready to go to work. Very much sturdier than its appearance, doesn't shift on my counter at all. Not super quiet, but not super loud either. :)
