Amazon sells the two best (I know that is gramatically incorrect since there can be only 1 'best').

Cuisinart:

1) $15 less, even taking into account the $5 KitchenAid rebate.

2) Nylon guard which means the preparer may use right in the cooking vessel.

3) Longer warranty (18 mos. versus 12 mos. KitchenAid).

KitchenAid:

1) Multi-speed (versus 2-speed for the Cuisinart).

2) Mixing attachment is removable which means easier storage.

3) Choice of colors (for those who care).
