Does the smooth start work well? I've had a Cuisinart where the smooth start wasn't smooth and splattered the mix.

Yes, the Smooth Start works well! I have experienced no splatter.I just verified the this response by putting it in some water, followed by a flour mix for a crust. George

Don, I have had no problems with this mixer, and found that it is as advertised. The smooth start is excellent.

I've never had problems with it splattering when it starts. Much better than any mixer I've owned.

What I can tell you is that it always starts on the lowest speed which is quite slow. After starting, you can set faster speeds as required.

Yes, it does work Don. I am very happy with this mixer. No complaints at all. :)

ours has worked perfectly...when you engage to operate, it's smooth all thru the numbers.....we have used ours probably 30/40 times

Yes, it's very smooth and slow. And, even when you take it all the way to max speed, spatter is minimal with the wire beater design. Of course, if you lift it at high speed it's going to fly everywere! But, to your question, smooth start is very slow and smooth.

Hi there! I tend to slow simmer things for hours and have never had a problem with anything dripping off of it. I LOVE this thing. It is my favorite kitchen tool. :D

OMGoodness. I just tried this thanks to you. I do not know if you have a black or white machine. Mine is an older white 12 cup. I mixed two tablespoons + full carafe. The pot filled up with medium brown water. I then put in 12 more water + 1/4 cup of vinegar and much lighter. Now is clear water and the carafe looks great. The inside is 10 times lighter and its pumping like crazy. The ground holder is lighter but will need to be soaked. I am not that much of a clean freak but I am so happy with the results. I would not overdo with the chemicals though. Thank you for this suggestion.

I haven't had that problem. I use it pretty much only for pancakes. My issue is that the heating isn't very even. But to get really even heat I think you'd have to invest a lot. So for the price it's ok.

Wish I could help - tried even the Cuisinart store no help my machine was too old (over 18 years old). Studied the connecting pieces seriously or have someone with a good eye to check out the grooves and decided to give it a go Bravo it worked. The other question I had what would I do with my Cuisinart - trow it out or spend the $8.

Yeh Bruce I was super anal about not "cross contaminating" my grind but I have not had an issue yet. Only issue I had was when I first bought this grinder I tasted a metallic after taste in my coffee. I was ready to return it but gave it a couple weeks and I'm glad I did. I think the burrs just needed to be seasoned. Which goes back to the question "SHOULD I clean my grinder, not WHEN.

That's odd. I have just used the brand once so far so I couldn't tell you yet if I'm having the same problem. You may have to keep stirring longer.

We only made a couple of batches of ice cream before the Edgestar machine quit turning the paddle. We returned this machine and purchased a Cuisinart with the motor turning from below the bowl. The new machine has a separate paddle for gelato. Haven't tried the gelato paddle, but have had great success with ice cream. We get a nice volume increase and smooth consistency. My research after the first purchase was that others had problems with the "motor on top" type of design. Cuisinart had the same design and changed it. We are using the Cuisinart a lot and so far it is holding up well. We only made a couple of batches of ice cream before the Edgestar machine quit turning the paddle.

I used it on the smooth cook surface, worked great, then I got smart and bought a tassimo, after spending a fortune on percolatorss and french presses. No clean up. Life got easier.

I do not have any issues with the milk steamer, I do start it after the double expresso, so it build it the steam form the pressure of the coffee.If that is how you do it as well, then maybe your machine is having a issue with the water pipe. hope this helps :O)

I have a smooth top stove and I have not had this problem. I'm very happy with my smoker.

I am pretty sure it's smooth. But I'll go home and check later. Here's where I found most of the info:http://www.woll-cookware.com/mediathek/defaultScripts/PHP/index.php?c=/export/English/doc/107.html&sn;=NAV_2_S&img1;=411.gif&sel=2〈=4Hope that helps.

Same here. Never again. Just purchased an inexpensive Sunbeam last night because the three month old Cuisinart finally stopped working forever. We've been having to bounce it on the counter several times to get it to start brewing ever since my frustrating conversations with Cuisinart's lack-of-customer service department.

It scratched mine. I have swirl marks all over the bottom, but I still love the blender.

I have not had this problem with the KitchenAid. Just make sure that it snaps in before starting the mixer.

Ours did the same thing. We had the 10-cup model and needed to upgrade so we bought the 12 cup Cuisinart. It is super quiet and makes a great cup of coffee.

I have not had any problems with the slow speed splattering. This particular mixer suits my needs.
