How this sits on Kitchenware Authority
Cuisinart lists this as SM-50 at 17 lbs from China. Published warranty: 3 Years. This page is a research-based buying note from Kitchenware Authority, not a hands-on lab test — we compare maker specs and how this model sits next to other products already on this site.
Care on this site
Keep the head and motor housing wiped dry. Wash bowls and attachments by hand when the maker allows it; dry metal bowls so they do not spot. Do not exceed the published dough or flour capacity — that is a motor-and-gear limit, not a suggestion.
