Pros “I love the look of the machine. The functions were easy to use and it doesn’t shake like my old one. The attachments came apart effortlessly, making it easy to clean. Sofie was even able to nap while I used it.”

Cons “It is a little heavy, which makes it difficult to pull out and use unless you leave it out on the countertop.”

Rating 9.5/10

A close call between the higher-end brands, but Cuisinart tops the rest with loads of accessories, an out-standing warranty and non-toxic bowl.
