Cuisinart Stand Mixer Onyx
Score: 82/100
Kenmore Elite
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Cuisinart SM-50BK offers a high-output 500 W motor and 12 speeds in a compact, die-cast design, delivering strong performance for home bakers. Its single power hub and weight can limit stability for very dense mixes. Ideal for users who need power and space-saving dimensions without premium pricing.
The Koolatron Kenmore Elite 600W bowl-lift mixer delivers 600 W power, a stable bowl-lift mechanism, and dual stainless-steel bowls with digital timer and LED light. Its high performance is offset by a bulky footprint and lack of tilt-head access. Geared toward serious bakers needing power and stability for large batches.

Professional reviewers and editors consistently praise the Cuisinart SM-50 for its high-output 500-watt motor, extensive 12-speed control set, and sturdy die-cast construction. Marketing materials stress its "power, precision, and performance," positioning it as a capable yet affordable option for home bakers who need a versatile mixer with optional attachments.
Professional reviewers and editors are not represented in the available sources; the product description is limited to manufacturer and retailer copy, which emphasizes the 600 W motor, bowl-lift stability, and extensive accessories as advantages over typical tilt-head mixers.
Everyday users are referenced but no specific review excerpts are provided; the available information suggests that customers appreciate the power and included accessories, while the lack of detailed feedback leaves common praise and complaints largely undocumented.
