Consumer Reviews
Clearly, based on user comments and the overall rating from various online stores, this mixer is not ideal for anyone who needs to use it all the time. It’s a nice mixer for infrequent baking when you need to do large sizes but it’s not quite as powerful or stable as some other choices.
For the mom who just needs a large mixer for doing cakes and cookies every month or so, you do get a nice size for less money than other models so you’ll have to decide if that’s the type of mixer you need or not.

Pros and Cons
Pros: Cuisinart HSM-70 Power Advantage 7-Speed Handheld/Stand Mixer is one of the company’s most innovative and highly practical model that incorporates the durability and strength of a standard stand mixer and the versatility of the hand mixer in one. The reception of the public this unit is more than fair, where most reviews average a rating of around 4 out of 5 stars. This rating is a testament to the equipment’s acceptability to the consumers in general although there are a number of individuals who are not satisfied with the product’s performance.
Some of the features the satisfied customers like most about Cuisinart’s HSM- 70 Power Advantage are the equipment’s substantial yet energy saving wattage and power, reasonable price, compact size, lighter weight, and the flexibility of having the benefits of both a stand mixer and hand mixer in one.
Though the machine is able to run on only 220 watts, it is able to perform up to standards as other machines with the same or higher wattage with it still being able to knead, whip, whisk as effectively. Most of the buyers have purchased this equipment as a sort of experiment, on whether they will get the results other more expensive products boast about, and most of them have been more than happy with the results, saying that this unit is a good everyday mixer. Also, its smaller and more compact size does not occupy too much space on the countertop, thus, leaving it sitting happily on the counter a better option than tucking it away; plus. It is lighter, too, with a sturdy base so as to keep it stable while it whisks, kneads, or whips mixtures and ingredients. The feature most happy buyers love the most is its flexibility, the unit’s unique design affords it to be a durable stand mixer with a tilt- head as well as an efficient hand mixer for that thorough mixing and whipping with one carefully manoeuvring the mixer itself over the bowl.
Cons: The cons, though minor, will include the mixer spinning more on the outer portion of the bowl, leaving the center needing hand mixing to ensure consistent mixing all throughout, though most costumers do not mind simply reverting to hand mixer mode and doing the job of mixing and whipping the ingredients themselves. Other had more serious problems with their unit such as the inconvenience and awkwardness of the mixer’s design, although they, too, admit that the equipment is powerful. Other costumers also had issues with the turn mechanism of the mixer which is situated on the beater, rather than the stand. The beater’s old fashioned style was also criticized, since the batter often gets stuck on the attachment. The turn table is also said to have some glitches because there are instances when it does not function as it should.
