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.....

I believe that this is the better option. I love my KitchenAid mixer, but sometimes it even strains when mixing extra thick cookie dough. I have used this grinder many times and the motor is more than powerful enough, and is very durable. When you consider the cost of the KitchenAid attachment, this really isn't that much more.

They are fairly similar in most aspects (my in-laws have Cuisinart) and both work well. I believe the pre-set temperature settings are slightly different but not significantly. One thing I prefer on a revile is that temperature setting buttons are on base and not handle. The labels on the buttons on the Cuisinart handle wear off fairly quickly due to handling. Base on Breville is slightly larger which has obvious pros and cons. I also feel (with no proof) that the Breville has a slightly better balance when held and full. Basically it is a few small things that make me prefer the Breville, but both do the job reliably and effectively.

The Cuisinart replaced my 20 year old Viking. I have had it about 4 years and I love it. I can only make 4 loaves of bread at a time (I could do with my Viking) but I am totally satisfied with it. I love the time so I can set it to mix and leave the room and wait for it to turn off. I bought it because the bowl shape was so close to the Viking. I recommend this machine.

sorry, I can't help you. I returned the dessert maker a couple of years ago. I did not like it, it never worked properly.I don't like products made by cuisinart.

I do not have experience with a Cuisinart oven. All I can say is every Breville item I have purchased has been of excellent quality with excellent performance and life so I opted to purchase the Beville as its reviews at the time were consistently higher than any other over I considered of the same size.

I've had two KitchenAids. I love the one that is professional grade and 35 years old. They don't make them like they used to. I love my Breville. It's got power for the big jobs. Every Breville product I have gets used often. Used the expression maker everyday for 5 years. When it wore out, we bought another same model.

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.

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

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.

All-Clad is highest quality, made in America to higher standards. Cuisinart is similar, but made in China to minimize costs.Performance wise, they're similar, with All-Clad being better. Durability wise, All-Clad should last a lifetime, and has the warranty and service to back it up.

I chose Cuisinart because the lids seem to seal better and I am more familiar with that brand name. In the reviews, a lot of people compared Cuisinart to the more expensive All Clad cookware.

I love my Cuisinart with the choice of different blades. I do find that I only use a few of them the most however. But, maybe you cook more than I do.

KitchenAid is standard as far as I know. Their customer service is exemplary. They will be the best source for accurately answering your question.

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 just bought a Cuisinart Elite 14 FP yesterday. I will post my feedback once I put it to the test. I also subscribe to Consumer Reports and Cuisinart rated #1 on food processors.

I'm sorry, but I can't recall. I dumped the machine when I moved to the UK, and we bought a Cusinart with built-in compressor, and it is wonderful! If your budget extends to it, I'd get a Cuisinart.
