# 3 of 12: Cuisinart 7-Quart Stand Mixer

Why We Love It: Cut down on time and clutter and with this all-in-one blender, juicer, food processor, pasta maker and meat grinder. The large 7 or 5.5-quart size saves time by letting you make bulk batches of anything from cookies and breads to smoothies and salsas.

Reviewer Raves: "The first thing I noticed and appreciated about this stand mixer was the large sized mixing bowl. This really helped when creating a large batch of cookies! I also liked the speed variability and the fold option. The fact that you can put the mixing attachments in the dishwasher is great and so easy. The instruction DVD is a nice addition, because it is one thing to read and try the mixer yourself but is it really helpful to see someone else using it properly. I also found the splash guard helpful and was glad it was included in the package."
