Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-Speed Hand Mixer, 220W Motor, Electric Mixer with Dishwasher-Safe Beaters, Storage Case, HM-90BCS, Brushed Chrome

We're very happy with this mixer. It's very powerful and makes quick work of kitchen tasks. Easy clean up and great storage with the connecting container. Looks great, too!!

What an amazing blender. Everything stores in one container! After burning up 2 blenders before this, I love the quality it’s a good value for what you would have in replacing units. Mixes great smooth cakes. Love the sstainless finish xx

This mixer is great. All the others we looked at were difficult to remove the beaters. Our old hands simply are not strong enough. This one ejects easily with a trigger like pull. My wife loves it. We tossed our old cheapo mixer. This one is definitely worthwhile.

Awesome hand mixer, lots of power throughout all variable speeds, tidy self-storage design.

This review is after the initial use of the mixer. First impression out of the box was impressive. It was well packaged and the product looked perfect. I would have given this 5 stars for the power alone except that I do not like the initial surge this particular mixer has. I am accustomed to starting my mixer on a low setting and going up on speed while the blades are in the mix so not to splatter the mix everywhere. I was quite surprised when I started this mixer in the mixing bowl and the surge nearly sent the contents all over...I managed to pull the mixer out of the mix as soon as I 'heard' the surge. I had to look again at the setting to ensure it was on 1, and then I wondered if I got a defective mixer for all the power on the first setting. Since I had already given my Kitchenaid Architect 9 speed mixer to one of my best friends after her mixer died, I didn't have a back up other than the big Kitchenaid Professional stand mixer, which was too big for this small job. So I decided to tough it out with the new Cuisinart. What I found was it quickly finished the mixing in less than two minutes, if that. Impressive, powerful...even on the lowest setting. I did notice it finally slowed a little as the mixing completed. If you want a powerful hand mixer and are in a hurry to get mixing done, this is the tool...as long as you are fully aware of the initial surge of power as it eventually adjusts to the speed you selected. I would personally prefer a slow start feature like the Kitchenaid Architect has, but this Cuisinart is more powerful and will more likely survive dough mixing better...though the big stand mixer is preferable for dough mixing. Also, storing all the mixing tools and the cord in the handy plastic case attachment hasn't been a problem. (Hint: I kept the original cord tie that the cord was originally packaged.) Place the mixing tools in the plastic case so that the mixing ends are facing opposite each other. With the cord, accordian the cord, and then use the original cord tie that came with the mixer (or get a velcro cord tie from the local hardware store) to tie the cord together. This will keep it as one unit within the plastic case. Set the wrapped cord in the plastic case. The mixer has a fat rounded end that tapers to a smaller flat end; so be careful to turn the same shaped case the right way before attempting to snap it in place. Since the cord is already inside the case, I snap that cord end of the mixer in with the small, flat end of the case before snapping the fat end into place. I don't see this plastic case outlasting the mixer in the years to come, but for the time it remains functional, I am going to enjoy being able to store all it's mixing blades in one location with the mixer.

CUISINART MIXER IS THE BEST HAND MIXER I EVER OWN, I MEAN SIMILAR 9 SPEED K. AID MIXER CAN COME CLOSE. I ordered 4 different 1 supposedly best on the market and one one voted 4.8 and rubber on the beaters was coming off while u were mixing and if you did not pay attention you were baking cake with little pcs of rubber. Disaster! But CUISINART is absolute the best brand on the market and strongest HAND MIXER I EVER HAD!

We purchased one of these mixers in in brushed silver/chrome on April 24th, 2016, ($79.99 then) and it has always worked perfectly. It is used for cakes, cookies, breads, potatoes, etc - usually once or twice a week. It never had a problem until recently, when the plastic push button on the top cracked into 3 sections and dropped inside the case. I also noted the cord is worn, with the outer plastic covering coming off the wiring at the base of the mixer. So figured it is time for a new one. Since color didn't matter, we opted for one in white at $59, vs $99 for another brushed silver/chrome model. ($20 price increase in 9 years). While waiting for the new one, I started thinking about possibly repairing the old one. The re-wiring wouldn't be a problem, but the button looked like a potential issue. An on line check found a video showing a reviewer taking the mixer apart for a comprehensive review of the components , and was very helpful. BUT, it described the electronic design and components as fairly cheap, with a number of shortcuts taken in motor and circuit design. Not very encouraging, but then, it had lasted 9 years, so I plunged ahead. Surprise! When I got my 9 year old mixer apart, everything was in the same place as the video of the newest version - same model number - but the old version components were much more robust, and had more elaborate circuit designs than the video of the newest version. In fact, all the concerns listed in the video review were completely absent in the old mixer. More sophisticated electronic circuitry design, apparently different motor, more robust appearing beater ejection mechanism, etc. It was so much more impressive than the video review of the latest version, that I resolved to keep the old one working, reserving the new one as a spare. (If in 9 years the contents had been cut so much while the price went up $20, a spare mixer at today's prices seems reasonable.) I haven't opened the new mixer to see if the insides match the video review of newer versions because of warranty concerns. Cuisinart REALLY doesn't want you inside. Four plastic plugs have to be drilled out to get to the assembly screws, making it obvious the mixer case has been "user opened". After blowing out all the flour and dry ingredients from inside the old mixer housing and gears, the rewiring was easy, and the swivel mechanism for the cord in both models is a very nice feature. The original instructions didn't describe the action of the cord mechanism. It will swivel freely unless you force it to click into a locked position at either the right or left side - handy! The button repair consisted of super gluing the 3 chunks back in place, wrapping the outside of the button with a thin layer of HVAC metal tape, and using either 2 part epoxy or a mix of super glue/styrofoam beading (youtube trick) in the void spaces on the back side of the button. Seems pretty strong, at least for now. Re-assembly was prolonged, as some of the wiring ribbon cable and the beater mechanism could only be re-assembled one way - with a circuit board going through a slit in the middle of the ribbon cable by the beater ejection mechanism! (If you ever do this disassembly, take pictures first!!) But eventually it was done, and has been happily mixing cookies and cakes to this date. If the button on the old mixer fails in the future, I might just swap in the button from the latest version (Identical case and controls on both versions). But if it fails electronically or mechanically, it is old enough that I will just use the new dumbed down version. The trend these days seems to be disposal after boredom or minor issues occur, in everything from cars and phones to jobs and relationships, and doesn't seem to be reversible, so....

I read several reviews for this mixer both good and bad but decided to order it anyway. I live in Canada and they don't carry this model here so I ordered it without being able to check it out. The storage case clips in and out without any problem but the cord takes up most of the room in the case so the accessories have to go somewhere else which is no big deal to me. The fast start and then slow down is not a problem, it is not any louder than any other mixer and it is not too heavy like I read in the reviews. It has plenty of power for cakes, cookies and muffins. I have not tried the dough hooks for bread yet but probably will be fine. I like the digital speed control with the up down buttons instead of the old slide switch. Although I haven't had it very long I can recommend this mixer to replace any old hand mixer you may be using. Time will tell how long it lasts but for now I really like this mixer with the storage case and stand. It came on time and nicely packaged by Amazon.

Looks like a nice product cannot be used in the UK. Purchased on amazon.co.uk in the uk. What is the point of selling a US wired produce without warning people???

I bought this for a gift to be used in the UK, and when my daughter went to use it it had a USA plug, she used an adapter and it blew up.

Me encanto y me ha sido muy util

Adorei!! Produto excelente, potente e bem acabado. A entrega também foi bem rápida.
