The Stainless-Steel bowl that comes included with Cuisinart Stand Mixer has a capacity of about 5.5 quarts. This means the bowl can hold about 5 dozen cookies or 6 cups of dry ingredients. Also included with the bowl is an ergonomic handle that makes it easier to pour out the ingredients or to scoop them out.

The bowl is pretty wide and allows you to peek in and see how well the mixing process is coming along. The bowl attaches to the bottom of the mixer with a slight twist. However, this means you must make sure the bottom remains clean.

The stainless-steel material ensures it does not corrode and is dishwasher safe.

The powerful motor of the Cuisinart successfully beats other competitors by a long shot with 500 watts of power. Kneading, mixing, or even extruding pasta take literally minutes to do.

The best part is that it's quiet, making absolutely NO noise. 

Perhaps the most attractive feature out of all is the tilt-back head. It allows you to tilt the head back to take out all ingredients easily. It allows you to change attachments within the same batch without having to remove the bowl.

Furthermore, it allows you to add ingredients in between the mixing process. This feature makes the Cuisinart user-friendly.

The Cuisinart has a lot of different attachments that can be easily attached to perform a variety of functions.

The attached accessories with this mixer are:

1. Chef’s whisk: best for whipping heavy cream, eggs or egg whites.
2. Dough Hook: best for kneading bread dough.
3. Flat Mixing Paddle: perfect for mixing batters for cookies or stirring.
4. Splash Guard with Pour Spout: does not allow the mixer to spray ingredients all over the place.

The Power Hub allows you to attach a number of different accessories that you can purchase.

These attachments may include:

• Citrus Juicer
• Grain Mill
• Ice-cream Maker
• Purees
• Shredder and Slicer
• Food Grinder
• Sausage Stuffer
• Pasta Extruder
• Pasta Roller and so on...

Also featured on the Cuisinart are 12-speed controls that allow you to perform a variety of functions. A remarkable feature is the slow start feature which allows the mixing operation to be slow and then speed it up so your ingredients come out well mixed.

The slow speed allows you to stir ingredients while the highest speeds allow you to aerate and whisk the heaviest of creams. The speed control is circular and poses a problem if your hands are occupied. In retrospect, a lever could be operated by your elbows in case your hands are full.
