Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed a good mixer that could handle thick cookie dough recipes and since we already have a Kitchenaid fridge, oven, microwave and dishwasher, we figured why not get the matching hand mixer? I was also researching the OXO hand blender, but since I had some BestBuy Cash and BestBuy.com didn't carry the OXO, the decision was made easier. After getting the item in the mail, my initial thoughts were the mixer felt a little cheap and flimsy. The plastic housing was thin and the overall fit and finish wasn't as high of quality as I expected from one of the more expensive mixers in the market. I know the Kitchenaid engineers wanted to build something light and easy to handle to reduce hand and arm fatigue, but I was hoping for a more sturdy feeling product. But once I started using it, the appliance seemed to handle everything pretty well. the motor was pretty quiet and seemed capable. I've only used it once on cookie batter, but I'm sure it should be able to handle thicker dough pretty well. I wish I had a chance to try out the OXO mixer too, but so far, this Kitchenaid one is pretty decent.

I was looking at mixers and went with the Kitchen Aid for their reputation of quality. And it shows here, this mixer is good looking and works great. Other brands were touting their high watts so I was a little concerned that there was no power rating on this one. But it's plenty powerful for a hand mixer. I made a quiche and threw in a whole bag of spinach, plenty of grated cheese and it never slowed down using only the second speed. The attachments fit great with only a little of pressure and the release button is large so you won't miss it. I would have liked the on/off switch to move back and forth as apposed to sideways, but that's minor. And the bag for the attachments is a nice touch, I would definately recommend this mixer to a friend.

My 25-year-old GE hand mixer finally failed (yay!) so I could justify a new one. I never really liked the old one because the low speed was too fast & it was heavy. This new Kitchenaid is just wonderful: light, easy to adjust, excellent starting speed, with enough power to handle cookie dough. Not sure I’d ever use the smoothie attachment, but since I have it now, maybe I’ll have to give it a try. The other attachments will be handy. (My old one had these, too.)

I got this as a gift for my sister. I already own one and I absolutely love it. I use this one for small batch dough and use the 600 series professional stand mixer for larger batches. It's a good investment. The best buy sales person matched the Amazon price and ordered the item for me. My local best buy reps are always courteous and very helpful. Thanks best buy and kitchen aid.

This is an incredible hand mixer. A particular advantage is the "slow start" feature.....no splatters all over the kitchen or me! Mixes beautifully and quickly, and the dough hooks handled some stiff cake batter easily. Lots of speed choices. I'm going to order the extra long beaters to add even more flexibility for those doubled/tripled recipes.

This is an amazing hand mixer. I got the black one to go with my black Professional series 600 stand mixer. When I tried, my cooking chore got done in less than a minute. I am immensely happy with the purchace and the Best Buy Representative was very helpful and he gave me 20% discount. I do cook a lot and I intend to use it to its full potential. I am never ever disappointed with Kitchen Aid products,be it pans & pots or appliances. Thank you Kitchen Aid

I have many Kitchen Aid products in my kitchen. When I saw this on sale, I immediately bought it. Best But representative was very helpful and gave me an additional 20% discount. I can not be happier. Its amazing and very compact. I got this in black to go with my black Professional 600 series stand mixer. Kitchen Aid always lives up to its quality. This one is ideal for small batch chores. Its a must have for any real chef. Thanks Kitchen Aid

This mixer is the best I've owned yet and I'm 70 years old! It starts slowly so no splattering of liquids and yet it's quite powerful so I can easily mix cookie dough . It has a handy storage pouch for keeping extra beaters, etc. handy. Not only is this a light-weight, powerful little mixer, but I ordered it in red and it's beautiful too.

This mixer was bought as a birthday gift for my adult daughter, and she couldn't be happier. She'd been wanting it for a while, but they're normally kind of pricey. Best Buy had a really great online deal on it, plus the free shipping, so I made the leap. It arrived quickly and was well-packed. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Best Buy's online store, again.

If you need a handy mixer with a lot of power and several different functions, this is the unit you need. Sometimes the big Kitchen Aid Mixer (another MUST HAVE in the kitchen) is not what you need. You need something that you can quickly get the job done, and a tool that won't over work you while doing it.

Bought this gift as a birthday present (hand mixer was on request list) and found the best deal for it by far on BestBuy.com. Recipient has had nothing but praise for it and prefers using it for most cooking that requires mixing even though she has a stand mixer

I had a heavy duty Kitchen Aid portable mixer for 20+ years and it worked wonderfully. Lately its speed sounded a little off so I replaced it (sort of...I put the old one in my RV) with this new one and I am very satisfied. It is a fun color, has a good weight in my hand, and does a good job.

I’ve been using Kitchen Aid for as long as I can remember and this is another great item. Purchased this for quick tasks when I do not need to use my 6qt stand mixer or the immersion blender, both Kitchen Aid as well. Love the soft start and the variety of attachments.

I purchased this so i didnt have to take out my Kitchen aid Mixer every time I wanted to mix something. Its great for panacake batter or doing large amount of eggs for omlettes... probably even powerful enough to do cookie dough but haven't tried that that..

I got mine several years ago as a christmas gift, I was never so excited. 9 speeds of hand mixer and I can not say enough about it. I love it and would not part with it it has made making everything so easy and fast. Mine is Silver.

I love the fact that the beaters are real stainless steel, not chrome plating over metal, which eventually falls apart at the weld joints. Does the job well and is quiet.

Easy to use. Nice look. Attachments are great and come in a bag to keep them together. Best Buy did a price match so I paid a great price for mine.

Got this to replace my 3 speed mixer and I love it! it has 9 speeds and a digital speed selection so I wont have to worry about it coming apart like my old one. I wanted the candy apple red but it was sold out.

Couldn't believe how much better the KitchenAid 9 speed mixer enabled me to mix ingredients from super slow speed to top speed as needed.

Got this to replace my 3 speed mixer and I love it! it has 9 speeds and a digital speed selection so I wont have to worry about it coming apart like my old one. The color is the best of the options!
