Does anyone know how this compares to the Kitchenaid 9-speed model?

All of the Internet reviews show this is highly superior; more powerful and does not have the known gear stripping issues of the Kichenaid

I returned a Kitchenaid mixer because it vibrated badly. The two Cuisinart mixers I have had in the past two months along with five sets of beaters, all vibrated badly because the beater "fins" were misaligned with the shafts.

There is a mix of metal and nylon/plastic gears in the Aristan line models. It makes the mixer quieter that the Pro 600 line, but obviously that makes a difference in it's ability to handle extremely heavy duty work. I've confirmed this information with Kitchenaid Customer Service as of November 19, 2014. They absolutely confirm that there ARE nylon/plastic gears in the Artisan line. I'm not saying it's an inferior model, just different.

I have the new model with the suction feet. The bosch never moves, I love it. I only use whole wheat flour for my breads and cakes. I have a granite counter top. I don't know if this makes a difference, but the granite seems to be kind of a slick material. I've had a 650 watt kitchenaid...and the bosch is by far the best!!!! Will never go back. Julia

I can't answer that question. My professional model was purchased in December, 2011; had to be immediately replaced and by July 2013 was inoperable. After 2 months in the KitchenAid-certified repair shop was determined to be irreparable. I now have a rather expensive door-stop. The machine was never operated outside specifications and was imperfect when it arrived (e.g., bent appliance hook, dripped grease into the mixing bowl, etc.). KitchenAid offered to sell me a replacement machine at a discount. Why would I do that? I will be purchasing a Bosch to replace it.

Don't have mine anymore. The plastic handle broke on mine (broke several times & I was able to glue/tape to keep using it but not the last time) & I replaced with Cuisinart Classic Pro (made in China) which I like better than the KitchenAid. The Cuisinart was only $20 more than replacing the KitchenAid plastic bowl with handle.

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.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. I bought this as a gift for my daughter. When I visited her and saw her food processor, I was disappointed that it was not as heavy as mine.The weight might be a factor, but I have not asked her if hers is working well. My KitchenAid is an older model. Don't think it's your fault.w

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.....

My 5 Speed Kitchen Aid hand held can handle the oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips...the 9 speed should be able to as well!

I think one difference might be the amount of ice cream it makes. The model I chose makes 2 quarts (almost). Depends on the recipe. I am not sure the specs on the other orthe price and can't tell you the difference being worth it. Sorry. I love this one. I did find not to turn on the cooling with the beater. That causes the first ice cream into the machineto freeze on the bottom of the bowl prior to the other and hard to remove. Turn on the beater and then add the ice cream then after a minute or so turn on the cooler button.

I have just bought the KitchenAid 5qt. It works great! I'm not familiar with the series you've mentioned.

I have never had a Kitchenaid food processor, but have had a Cuisinart 14-cup FP for 30 years.It is exceptionally easy to clean with no hard-to-get-to areas.

Yes - that's the model I have. I also bought the 5.5 qt (wide bowl) for my vacation home & have found out it works well with this model also. I really like the smaller bowl - it's good for whipping cream, and smaller batches of baked goods.

I got it and adjusted the beater height several times; unfortunately, I wasn't happy with it. I ultimately called KitchenAid, and purchased one of theirs. The issue that I had w the one from KitchenAid is that the white paint had worn off after awhile. I decided I'd have to live with getting a new one each couple of years because the KitchenAid one without the paint doesn't work in the dishwasher. Hope this helps!

Not especially. In fact, when you first turn it on, while already in the bowl with the ingredients, it seemed to give a sudden burst, instead of starting up slowly as I was led to believe it would. But, at it's Slow speed, it did NOT have very much power at all, which led me to crank up the speed in order to get anything mixed (usually cookie dough or cake batters).I was quite surprised and disappointed with this mixer in general. I thought a super-duper "powerful" Cuisinart hand mixer would be great, but I guess I was wrong, and have since purchased another Kitchenaid hand mixer, which is what I had, and was happy with, for lots and lots of years before I switched.

This mixer is comparable with Kitchen Aid of higher power ratings. Have used it for bread and cookies, cakes,etcRuns very smooth and quiet. Have not tried the freeze ice cream unit yet. Like the unit very much so far. It has an auto shutout if you push it too hard. Would look for much higher rating if you will be making a lot of bread. Hope this helps.
