6-Piece 9-Speed Electric Hand Mixer with Storage Case, HM-90BCS

i just got this yesterday. I was tired of lugging out the mix master to make cookies so i bought this. I had made a batch of peanut butter cookies with the mix master 2 days ago. When i got this today I tried to make a batch with the Cusinart Power Advantage 9 speed. The cookies turned out even better than with the mix master. The machine is SO easy to use. I did not have any of the problems people had with the initial slow speed; I guess if you were mixing liquids maybe but i had no problem at all with butter & sugar. It went thru the peanut butter, butter & sugar so effortlessly that i added the flour & let it mix that also. I only had it on 5 and i felt it had power to spare. It really is a pleasure to use. I love how the controls are set up, and the eject button is very cool. It was not loud at all, the attachments are great and when you're using it, its very stable and even.. It does not feel heavy at all, in fact i felt it was very light. I think its a great value. Really could not be happier with it.

This works great! Super sturdy and it's a workhorse! I was skeptical, because I have fried three other hand mixers and this one didn't even flinch! Great for making thicker cookie batter and love the case to keep everything together.

Great mixer! Good quality! I love the 9 speeds. I never had a nine speed mixer before and its great because it starts slow enough that it doesn't cause flour dust to go everywhere. Also after mixing the beaters have a lot less batter/dough stuck to them. The whisk attachment is handy and works well in bowls that are a bit narrow at the bottom. The storage container for attachments and cord with mixer sitting on top is very nice. I gave this mixer 5 stars because i feel it is a great value and really good product.

This PLUS 9-speed hand mixer to me is a really worthwhile machine. As I have purchased and returned two previous mixers. This 220-watt motor is the same that is replacing my old 5-speed with power burst. Since this one has 9 speeds a power burst is not needed with this one. The weight is balanced making for easy handling. I appreciate the large flat area that it rests on. The cord is long enough that I didn't have to remove the twist tie to plug it in. I especially enjoy the stainless-steel wire beaters. I was not sure how much better they would be over the older flat style with the center stem I've been using forever. These are way better all-round. As for all the added stuff that it comes with, I left in the carton it came in. I could not be happier when using this Cuisinart mixer.

I purchased this mixer to replace my old KitchenAid KHM9PWH 9-Speed Professional Hand Mixer that decided it will not work anymore. Before I purchased the Cuisinart HM-90S Power Advantage Plus 9-Speed Handheld Mixer, I did a lot of research on hand mixers that might be suitable for my needs. I ultimately chose the HM-90S for several reasons: 1. Cuisinart seems to be a trusted brand for small kitchen appliances such as hand mixers and blenders. (in my opinion) 2. Extra attachment accessories that it comes with: flat beaters, chef's whisk, dough hooks, spatula, and storage case. 3. Slow start speeds After viewing the product demo video available on Amazon, I noticed that speed 1 of the mixer starts out at a near medium speed for a second or so, but overlooked this minor detail. Compared to many other hand mixers out there that start at medium speed at speed 1 throughout the whole mixing process, it really isn't a big issue for me. Stand mixers are not perfect at it's lowest speed either, yet it costs twice or three times more than this particular mixer. This motor issue that some reviewers talked about seems to be the standard motor startup for newer cuisinart hand mixer models because I noticed that this is the case for the HM-70 model as well. When mixing dough, sometimes it helps to have that split second quick start to help break up lumps in fats and or sugars. I normally use this mixer mainly for baking. If I ever need to mix something that is hot like soup or mashed potatoes, I prefer an immersion blender. Once I received my mixer, I was disappointed to find that the chef's whisk which came with my mixer is much smaller than the one that came with my old kitchenaid mixer. I also found out that the whisk that came with my HM-90S is also smaller than the replacement chef's whisk available on amazon for the cuisinart HM-70 model as well. (In theory HM-70, is not much different from the HM-90S model. The difference between the HM-90S and the HM-70 that I noticed is that the HM-90S has 9 speeds including storage case and the HM-70 has only 7 speeds. All other description of the two models are the same. The design of the two models are not too far off from each other, so why is the whisk for Cuisinart HM-70 - CHM-WSK Hand Mixer, bigger than the HM-90S model?) I finally used the mixer to make cookie dough the other day and am very pleased with the results the mixer provided. It has a powerful motor and is fairly quiet. Much quieter than the cheaper hand mixers out there with fewer speed settings. It is quieter even than some stand mixers I have heard. The split-second higher startup speed #1 never was an issue for me. I found that it did help break up some of the clumps in my wet mixture. If I ever need to add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, I simply lower the mixing speed as I mix the wet ingredients. As the mixer is still on at speed 5 mixing the wet ingredients, I lower the speed to speed 1. I gradually add the dry ingredients to gently stir, then increase the speed if necessary. This prevents ingredients from flying everywhere. I have not used the dough hooks or whisk yet, but I am sure it will be just fine. My only fear is the balloon whisk. I am afraid that the size of this whisk will affect the length of time it will take to whip up delicate mixtures such as meringue or whipped cream. Overall, this mixer is a great replacement for my old one, especially around this time of year when I do my holiday baking. ****UPDATE 12/15/2012**** I have had this mixer for a year now, and it still works as well as it did when I first bought it. Although, I do find the Cuisinart CHM-WSK Hand Mixer Whisk attachment, which is meant for the cuisinart HM-70 model, works a lot better than the whisk that is included with the HM-90S model. My meringue and whipped cream seem to whip a lot faster and produce a more satisfying result for me when I use that whisk attachment. I use the flat beaters, whisk, and spatula more often than the dough hooks. I do not find the dough hooks to be much help for me as I had hoped. All in all, this is still a good mixer even after a year of heavy regular use. *****UPDATE 5/29//2014***** My mixer still works as well as it did when I first purchased it. The attachments and cord are still in tact. I still don't use the dough hooks as often as I use the beaters and whisk attachments. I use the spatula quite often. The storage case is still very convenient to hold all the mixer attachments and spatula including the extra whisk and beater attachments I bought. All in all, this is still a satisfactory purchase.

Great quality with beaters for stiffening egg whites for meringues! I use the all purpose beaters for nearly everything and even the bread dough hooks work well for making pizza dough!

Love my Cuiainart PowerAdvantage mixer

Great mixer, powerful. I didn't experience the too fast start some people said they did. It mixes well and I like the tool storage box that the mixer sits on. Much better than my prior mixer.

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

This baby is practically perfect in every way. I am in love. This was my splurge; my gift to myself that will last a lifetime. All I wanted was a mixer that won't die when I am mixing cookie dough and has a good graduation of speeds. This ticks every box. And may I call your attention to the additional accessories WITH AN ATTACHEABLE STORAGE CONTAINER? 1000% worth it to get this over the 7-speed, and don't even consider any other brand for a hand mixer.

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