Cuisinart SM-50BL 5.5 Quart Stand Mixer, Manual, Periwinkle Blue

I've been using the Cuisinart Stand Mixer with 12 speeds and a 5.5-quart bowl and I couldn't be more impressed! From the moment I unboxed it, the quality was evident. The sleek design not only looks great on my countertop but also feels incredibly sturdy. The mixer operates smoothly across all 12 speeds, offering precision for everything from delicate meringues to dense bread dough. The 5.5-quart bowl is spacious enough to handle large batches, which is a game changer for my baking sessions. Clean-up is a breeze as the bowl and attachments are easy to wash. Plus, the included attachments—whisk, paddle, and dough hook—are versatile and perform exceptionally well. Overall, this mixer has made baking so much easier and more enjoyable. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and powerful stand mixer! Five stars all the way!

This mixer is such a great value for the money! The quality compares with Kitchen Aid, but at a better price. It also accepts their attachments. That makes this mixer versatile and adaptable compared to others. The overall size is outstanding. It doesn't take up much counter space or can be easily stored away until you need it. The mixing is so good. I've used it for bread, cookies, biscuits and many other baked items. Quiet and powerful. There are several color choices, so I got the red one for my kitchen. Looks great! I really like the large 5.5 qt stainless bowl. Easy to clean and holds plenty of ingredients. The plastic shield works excellent. It comes with the basic paddles, whisk and dough hook. I really like Cuisinart products and I have no issues with Kitchen Aid. I just think this is a great value when compared side by side. I bought this mixer with my own money. NO BS reviews from me. Just the honest truth and my personal opinion from real world experience with it. Could not find any flaws or serious issues with this mixer or the seller. Highly recommend.

Plenty of power, good quality accessories, quiet and easy to use. Everything about this mixer is substantial and reliable and the quality is as good as my Cuisinart food processor.

Looks awesome, works great!

A good mixer for the price! Pros; #1. lighter and cheaper than Kitchen Aide! #2 Easy to use and to change accessories! Problems: # 1 Mixer piece doesn't hit the bottom of the bowl, so I have to stop and stir. .#2 it doesn't come with a paddle attachment.

We purchased this 12-speed, 5 1/2-quart stainless steel mixer to make homemade rolls, cookies, breads, and cake. The mixer works well and performs better than expected. And it is easy to use, consistently performs, and is a great purchase.

Ordered a rebuilt return unit. Aesthetically and mechanically works perfect. It was missing the wisk attachment though so I gotta find one of those but overall happy with the purchase.

Just so you know, I purchased this item in October 2023 and this review is December 2025. Why 2 years later? Most reviews are 'out of the box' or otherwise written within the first few weeks of ownership. Other than the obvious, a lot about a product like this doesn't show up until lots of use. You will note the 5 stars. I would give it more if I could. Years ago, I had a Cuisinart food processor that did a good job with bread dough, but I wanted greater capacity. I moved up to a larger KitchenAid food processor which claimed it could knead bread. We broke one trying to knead bread dough with the KA FP. It was under warranty and KA sent a replacement. No better. I believe KA eventually sent 3 replacements and each struggled, overheated, and was a mess to clean up afterwards. Bread dough would end up in unreachable portions of the KA mixing bowl. That took away my enthusiasm for baking bread! No way was I going to make a long term use bet on KA for a stand mixer! Sorry to say that the KitchenAid of old is not the KitchenAid of today. Cuisinart, on the other hand, is still among the highest quality appliances. I am a serious bread baker to the point that I buy rye and winter wheat berries and mill my own flour from the berries and also from soybeans, whole oats and brown rice. This Cuisinart mixer has a strong motor, easily changeable mixing blades, and a big bowl. It has handled all of my breads with perfection. Never once overheated or struggled to keep turning through the stickiest of doughs! After preparing the dough, little of it remains on blade or bowl and what does remain is easily removable with a silicone spatula-- and easy to add to the rest of the dough. Everything--from blade to bowl and all of the utensils-- goes and fits into the dishwasher and comes out clean-- 100% free of bread dough remnants. FYI...I bought the ice cream adapter bowl and that also works well for making ice cream and gelato using this Cuisinart stand mixer. If you are reading reviews in search of a stand mixer for bread dough, specialty pastry dough, or anything else needing a stand mixer, I highly recommend the Cuisinart. Two-plus years after purchase, I am sharing this review having put the mixer through rigorous use. It has earned my highest marks in all categories.

Excellent in performance. Good I've invested on this, though on a higher price point (got it for 22k) compared to the ones in 5-6 k this is solid and great in performance.

I was initially in the market for a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, but after waiting weeks for a model I had ordered, I was unceremoniously informed by Amazon, that Kitchen Aid could not deliver. I was initially deeply disappointed. Then, not one to dwell on past mistakes, I opted instead to order a Cuisinart Stand Mixer and what a happy decision that turned out to be. The Cuisinart arrived quickly, in mint condition. It is solidly built and nicely designed and looks great on my counter top. It is very simple to use and clean and very powerful. I have used it a few times to mix bread dough, which is the primary reason I ordered it, and it does this masterfully with power to spare. I have only owned this item for a month or so, so I cannot speak to its long term durability, but so far, so good. I am very happy with my Cuisinart Stand Mixer.
