KitchenAid - KHM512WH 5-Speed Hand Mixer - White

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’ve always spent from $5-$10 on my hand mixers. I had a stand mixer and didn’t see the point in spending more than that. They all said to have the same amount of speeds. They didn’t last more than a year or 2, because I used them tons, but worth the little money spent. Well, I bought this one, same amount of speeds as my old one I burnt, but let me tell you, the speeds are for real. Lol. When you hangs the speed, the speed changes. With the cheap ones, the speed changes when you go from1 to 4, but 1 is the same as 2 and 3. Not with this ones. It’s awesome. The only thing I would change, my cheap one cake with a plastic case to store the whisks and the 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.

My daughter had to borrow our hand mixer for Thanksgiving, either she couldn't find hers, or it quit working. BB had a sale on the Kitchen Aid so I thought that it would be a good Stocking Stuffer gift that she would be able to get some use from. She loves it. She generally uses her big counter top mixer, but there are times when all you need is a small, easy to use and clean appliance and this fits the bill. I did choose the better, more expensive version. It had a few more bells and whistles and I felt that it would last longer and preform better than the cheaper one.

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.

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

I had one of these little mixers for YEARS...finally met it's end. It didn't stop working...it worked fine...it just wouldn't stop....unless you pulled the plug. To keep things safe in my kitchen I knew I had to get another....but which one? After comparing brands and features I stuck with Kitchenaide….have many of their products and they all are awesome! Wish it came in black (but they do have a pretty blue) My stand mixer is also white so....guess that's ok.

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.
