We have had the Cuisnart mixer since June 2018 and like it.  Based on other reviews we expected it to change speeds on start up but was still surprised. (I thought it was broken.)  The mixer works well on both slow and high speeds, is easy to handle, and clean.  The storage case is convenient to use.  Our old mixer was eighteen years old, so this one took some getting use to the differences but it has been well worth it.  I would buy again.
