KitchenAid 5 Ultra Power Speed Hand Mixer KHM512, 5 Speeds

I normally used a stand mixer in the past but this demanded a lot of counter space as well as moving a heavy piece of equipment to do my mixing. In the interest of space and ease of cleaning I decided to purchase a hand mixer. I've now used this hand mixer to make a large variety of baked goods, from muffins, to cakes, some frosting and even bread. The mixer has a great number of speeds which is perfect for not flinging ingredients all over your counters. Additionally the interface to change the speeds is easy to use and very intuitive which is wonderful for times where you may want to start the mixing slow but then speed it up after the ingredients have begun to be incorporated with one and other. The mixer also came with a lot of attachments out of the box, the beaters are great for batters and frostings. However I was pleasantly surprised to see a pair of dough hooks and a whisk. I haven't used the whisk yet but the dough hooks! let me tell you what, I never expected a hand mixer to be able to handle dough as well as this thing does. Such a small tool was able to handle enough dough for me to make two pizzas without even having to break out a stand mixer or manually knead at all. Lastly the hand mixer also came with some nice add-ons like a bag that's able to hold all the attachments which will certainly help with not misplacing them.. or at least keeping them together so you're not digging through drawers for one of the two beaters. There is also a great rubber strap on the cord for the hand mixer which helps hold the cord in a shortened bundled state rather than completely uncoiled. I would highly recommend this product based on my experience for it's easy of cleaning, the power it's able to produce, how easy it is to operate, and the versatility with the attachment's that came with it.

Holes where the beaters go are not lined up properly making it hard to put them in and out .

good product but doesn't really WHIP like prior old one I had did. Would be nice if it had whipping parts and speed but it's a good one for simple uses, just takes 6 minutes to whip cream not 2.

Great low and high speeds

Beautiful, loved color, performed well.
