KitchenAid - KHM512ER 5-Speed Hand Mixer - Empire Red

Vowed to never buy another KA product after several problems with 3 out of 4 major appliances I bought from them. But, I had a gift card and this mixer was on sale, looked nice, good reviews, so I caved. Not surprisingly, underwhelmed is my best description, it's adequate at best. It's rated at .6 Amps, which is about 72 watts. My cheapy Toastmaster rates at 120 watts so the KA won't wow you with extraordinary power. The design is nice enough but again, being KA I guess, the decal surrounding the mixer was misplaced and bubbled out right in the front and center. I'll use it for very light hand mixer work and won't be surprised if it burns out after some months of consistent use. If you're looking for a real workhorse hand mixer pass on this, or buy it for the kids to use as their first mixer.

I love the color and the feel of this mixer. It is easy to assemble and clean. I use my hand mixer for easy household baking (cakes, muffins, frosting, etc) and this is perfect for that. The sound is so much quieter than my old mixer that I had to shut it off and turn it on several times to make sure the beaters were working. . . they were, I was just so surprised it made little noise. It has five speeds and the top speed doesn't go very fast. I haven't tried, but I have doubts about being able to fluff egg whites with this machine. I could just be skeptical because this mixer is so quiet.

I had a very inexpensive hand mixer and decided to upgrade. After reading the reviews I choose the Kitchen Aid plus it matched my Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I was surprised at how light the hand mixer felt when I took it out of the box. After the first use, what a difference! It has the power to mix heavier dough and also to whip egg whites. The beaters are east to clean due to the wires not being so close together and batter stays in the pan and not all over the beaters. I am very pleased with my Kitchen Aid hand mixer

Bought in Middle of November of 2017 used for the second time on Christmas Eve and it completely shut down in the middle of making dinner for our party and would not work again. No matter what we tried the hand mixer would not turn back on. So Far a waste of $40. Very disappointed in this purchase. Have to contact Best Buy to see what can be done. KitchenAid usually makes a great product however this one seems to be either a lemon or poorly made. That said the color was nice.

We have a Kitchenaid Pro 600 stand mixer in our kitchen but often it is more convenient to use a hand mixer for smaller jobs. This KitchenAid 5-speed hand mixer is attractively styled in Onyx black and chrome, which goes well with our kitcen appliances and decor. It is also easy to use and clean up, and takes up much less space than a stand mixer, which might make it a great option for those with smaller kitchens. We still use our 6-quart stand mixer for the larger and heavier jobs like cookie dough, but this hand mixer is great for the lighter work.

Although this mixer has only 5 speeds, it is quite efficient and does the job. The first time I used it, I whipped up heavy batter with ease. This mixer is capable of all projects for the home kitchen. On its highest setting, the noise is not at all loud; it would be the equivalent of level 2 on a cheaper mixer. This mixer is very light for its output. I love the Turbo beaters because it does not waste a lot of batter when ejected. Overall, this mixer is excellent and very easy to clean. Since this is a Kitchen-Aid product, I know that it is engineered right and will last a long time.

I know KitchenAid is a primo brand so I bought the mixer. When I used it I was glad my batter was normal cookie batter because it barely handled that. There was no power to it at all. The box does not tell you the wattage and they want to "sell" you that they don't list if for some reason or another - I really don't remember. Anyway I bought it without know wattage and was very disappointed and took it back!

No "mixed" feelings with this product because it is a "great" mixer. My wife and I make and decorate gingerbread houses at Christmas time. We use the mixer to whip up Royal Icing which is used to decorate and hold the gingerbread pieces together. The mixer is very well made and the motor is powerful enough to handle any hand mixing venture. We chose the red color because its used mainly at Christmas time. If a hand mixer is what you need, this is a very good choice.
