Overview
The Hauswirt US-M5-Green is a 500-watt tilt-head stand mixer built around an 11-speed knob-controlled motor and a 5.3 quart bowl. At $299.99 it competes directly with Cuisinart's SM-50 line while offering a distinctive lake green color that is hard to find at this price tier. The body combines plastic and stainless steel construction and it weighs 16 pounds, giving it a stable feel on the counter.
Eleven speed settings let you move from a slow stir through medium creaming up to a fast whip, covering standard cake batters, meringues, and soft cookie doughs without issue. The dimensions come in at 12.7 x 7.2 x 13.7 inches, which is notably compact compared to some competitors at the same price, so it fits well in tighter kitchen spaces. Voltage is 120V, compatible with standard US outlets.
With 209 reviews averaging 4.4 stars, Hauswirt's US-M5-Green has a solid, meaningful review base for a brand at this tier. Buyers consistently note the color accuracy and the smooth feel of the speed transitions. The 500W motor is adequate for most home recipes, though anyone planning to work heavy enriched doughs regularly should be aware of its limits.
Pros
- 11 speed settings offer precise control across a wide range of recipes
- Distinctive lake green color is a rare option in this price bracket
- Compact footprint fits kitchens with limited counter space
- Solid 4.4-star rating backed by over 200 reviews

Cons
- 500W motor may labor with very stiff or high-hydration bread doughs
- 5.3 qt bowl is on the smaller side for doubled or large-batch recipes

Performance notes
At 500W with 11 speeds, the Hauswirt handles typical home mixing tasks cleanly. The speed range covers gentle folding through fast whipping. The 5.3 qt bowl is adequate for single-batch cakes and cookies. Users running denser doughs should keep batch sizes moderate to avoid straining the motor.
What buyers say
The 4.4-star average across 209 reviews reflects consistent satisfaction. Reviewers frequently mention the color matches product photos closely and that the mixer operates quietly at low speeds. A small number of notes flag the bowl as slightly smaller than expected.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Hauswirt US-M5-Green compare to the Cuisinart SM-50?
Both run a 500W motor with similar speed counts and a tilt-head design. The Hauswirt offers a 5.3 qt bowl versus 5.5 qt on the SM-50, and it is typically priced at about the same level. The main difference is brand recognition and the available color options.
What attachments come with the mixer?
Hauswirt stand mixers in the M5 line typically ship with a flat beater, dough hook, and wire whisk. Confirm the exact included accessories in the product listing before purchase.
Is the lake green color accurate to photos?
Buyers in reviews consistently report the color is a faithful match to the product photos, described as a soft, muted green rather than a bright or neon shade.
