I have no experience with Kitchenaid so I cannot respond. I really like my new Cuisinart.

Personal preference. i have heard good and bad things about both. I like Cuisinart better.

I would definitely recommend Cuisinart.... If any indication of Kitchenaid - I ruined one of their top of the line blenders, because of the 'cheap' design and construction. Plus the motor on the Kitchenaid could not stand up to the task of making home-made mayonnaise (which requires an extensive time of blending). The motor on the Cuisinart has a safety 'shut-off', which so far, I have not had to challenge after many uses.....

look on Cuisinart Website & search your model #. Check their price & then compare on Amazon. Hope this helps

Yes. We are quite satisfied with the Cuisinart' s power. We also use it for batters and pastry dough.It especially excels in slicing using the adjustable blade disc.

Sorry - I don't know. It is still working beautifully for me, though. You can call Cuisinart.

I actually have one of each and prefer the handle of the Mauviel but really like the French Cuisinart ... so, basically, I like them both!

I think Hamilton beach has always been a good brand.Iam very pleased with my mixer..Have used it about 10 times so far and love it...Have made cheese cake about 4 times,and it did good,although I think it does better when cream cheese is soft, and to add 1 pkg. at a time..Have mixed cookie dough and cake batter,and it does wonderful..Iam not disapointed at all.I just couldnt see spending what they want for kitchen aid, and I do think kitchen aid is overrated...read alot of reviews, very happy with the Hamilton Beach...good luck to you

I am sorry I do not know. The Cuisinart accessories fit it perfectly and may not be the same as Kitchen Aid. Why don't you contact the service rep and ask directly?

Cooks Illustrated rated the Kitchen Aide higher.The word on the latest generation of Cuisinarts is NOT that great.You might also look into the French made Magimix. I've heard it is great but I've only seen it in catalogs & it looks like it has a rather LARGE footprint.

I really do not know. I tossed the mixer because it is a piece of junk.I ended up buying a Cuisinart 9 speed that was more money but a outstanding mixer. More speeds that I need but a very reliable.

The New Metro Designs model CDV-5 fits the Cuisinart 5.5. The KA6L does not. This Amazon listing says it fits a Cuisinart: "Continuously beats, scrapes, folds and mixes ingredients for KitchenAid, Cuisinart, Viking and DeLonghi stand mixers" -- Not true as the attachment is different. Now I need drive my lazy ass to Sur La Table and see if they have the right model ... sigh ... no cake for me today. Also, do not attempt to beat packed brown sugar -- you will break the plastic shaft and end up like me trying to buy a replacement blade. As of January 2014.

I had a Black & Decker 7-cup food processor before, so I really can't comment on the 13 cup Kitchen Aid one. I really like the Cuisinart 14-cup. I haven't tried dough yet, but I've made chicken salad, sorbet, and hamburger (from very lean tenderloin beef), and it was very good for that. Unfortunately, for slicing vegetables, it's no better than my old Black and Decker: stuff tends to slide sideways and get caught between the metal plate and the lid. You really have to have the feeder tube stuffed tightly, and large, harder things like potatoes and big carrots work better than cucumbers or softer things.

NO, but Cuisinart is So overrated. I returned mine. Food stuck to it like crazy. Will never trust this company again.

I have had mine (Cuisinart) for about a year and I love it. It makes wonderful bread and dough. I use it a lot, several times a week.

It has cut outs specifically designed to fit the Cuisinart blades, and a drawer for the disc blades, so if kitchen aid is the same design, probably... But in my experience those two companies are pretty territorial with design & accessories for only their design.

Yes. Cuisinart has many different discs for this machine. Slicing discs of varying thickness, grating discs for different sizes than the one that comes with it, and a french-fry disc.

I love my Kitchenaid ultra power 5 and 6 speed and my daughter did also. So I gave her that one and bought the 7 speed for myself. I like it just as well as the 6speed, not much difference just a tiny bit faster on the 7speed. Hope this helps you. I am a senior citizen and have limited storage and this mixer meets all my needs.

I had a cuisinart for years and bought the kitchenaid on the weight of cooksillustrated review. The Kitchenaid is much harder to clean, the bowl handle filled with yuck, the little bowl was a pain to use, and now about a year later it quit working while I was creaming butter.I'm going back to cuisinart.
