Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart HTM-5CH Smart Power 5-Speed Electronic Hand Mixer-Chrome
Customer Review: EXCELLENT Mixer, Not Sure Why Others Have Had Probs
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had mine for almost eight years, and it's the best kitchen mixer I've ever used (and I've used a TON of them!). It seems several previous reviewers had poor success, not sure why, but I STRONGLY recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and reliable mixer
It's very well made, and I've never encountered issues with keeping the blades in their sockets. Although first speed could be a little slower, it certainly doesn't cause food to "fly everywhere". It boasts an extremely powerful motor, easily capable of handling a double-batch of peanut-butter-chocolate-chip cookie dough, and to that same end, the mixer blades are VERY sturdy, having never bent or contorted during years of use. It is a little heavy for a hand mixer, but that's only a testament to it's excellent construction and robust power plant.
To cite a real-life example, I'm called upon to make the holiday breads and cookies for the whole family, and also for the annual church bazaar. In one nearly continuous marathon weekend each year, I crank out more than 25 lbs of cookies and some 200 loaves of cranberry bread (and mind you, not from a professional kitchen, but from a 4'x8' NYC apartment kitchenette!), all of which gets mixed with this mixer. It's used at least twice weekly throughout the rest of the year, and hasn't balked even once in all the time I've owned it.
Description of Cuisinart HTM-5CH Smart Power 5-Speed Electronic Hand Mixer-Chrome
Putting the "art" back in Cuisinart, this hand mixer's chrome finish is the perfect complement to a contemporary or retro-styled kitchen, and it's a hard worker as well. The 220-watt motor packs enough power to mix a double batch of chocolate chip cookie dough without slowing down, and the mixer is electronically programmed to automatically feed in extra power when the going gets tough.The five-speed control and beater eject button are well located for easy fingertip control, and left-handed cooks will appreciate the rotating swivel cord that can be positioned for use with either hand. The stainless-steel beaters are big: extra long and wide to ensure better aeration and quicker mixing. Cleanup is also easy, although the cool chrome finish might scratch over time. A spatula and a three-year limited warranty are included. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
