Hamilton Beach CPM700 review highlights

The Hamilton Beach CPM700 stand mixer stalled twice in professional tests, and its large bowl is said to be too big for a small amount of cream or eggs. Editors at Cook's Illustrated say that the mixer arm is poorly designed. With lower prices than the Hamilton Beach CPM700, the KitchenAid Professional 600 (*est. $350) and Cuisinart 5.5 Quart Stand Mixer (*est. $350) receive better reviews overall, and have received more feedback from owners.

The Hamilton Beach CPM700 stand mixer has been included in professional tests at Cook's Illustrated, but not at Consumer Reports. This 7-quart commercial stand mixer has not received any owner-written reviews at Epinions or Amazon.com, so gauging it overall owner satisfaction is difficult.
