Equipped with 220 watts of power, this convenient appliance functions as both a handheld mixer and a stand mixer for exceptional versatility in the kitchen. Use the seven-speed hand mixer on its own or mount it to the sturdy mixing stand for hands-free mixing. The unit"s stainless-steel bowl holds up to 3-1/2 quarts and spins on a turntable to ensure all ingredients get thoroughly mixed together. Accessories include flat mixing beaters, dough hooks, and a professional chef"s whisk. The flat mixing beaters (extra-long, extra-wide) deliver fast aerating, mixing, and whipping and are designed without a center post to prevent ingredients from clogging up the beaters; the durable dough hooks can handle a variety of doughs; and the professional 1-3/4-inch-diameter whisk effectively whips and aerates--effortlessly add volume to whipped cream or create stiff, fine-textured egg whites. Other highlights include a one-step power switch with a seven-speed LED display, a SmoothStart function to prevent ingredients from splattering, a tilt-back head and easy-release hand-mixer button, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. An instruction book with recipes comes included. With its sleek-looking design, complete with a chrome-plated Cuisinart logo band, the mixer measures approximately 17-4/5 by 11-4/5 by 10-1/5 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.
