KitchenAid KHM5DH 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer, White

I decided to make some bread, and used my sister's old mixer to mix it up. Unfortunately, it burned the motor out. Well thanks to Amazon, and overnight shipping, I avoided having to deal with her. This one went through the dough like butter, so it is a much higher torque/HP motor. Unfortunately we do not have enough counter space to get a bowl mixer, but this is the next best thing.

I bought my first one in 1995, after burning out several other name brand hand mixers. It worked great until I dropped it yesterday- then it just quit. I went out and bought the identical model can't wait to try the dough attachment.

lots more power then other hand mixers i've owned, but the speed isn't there if you need that.. had it about a year now, and it's plowed through everything i've asked it to without any smell of the motor cooking.

2 thumbs up. waaaaaaaay up

I've really appreciated how well this hand mixer handles heavy cookie dough. It does the job as well as my KitchenAid stand mixer, and is much easier to take out, use, clean and put away.

the speeds are fine. the only reason i didn't score it higher was the beaters aren't very effective. i like ones w/ flat edges to them. flat edges seem to cut butter, spuds and whatnot up a lot more effectively. the rounded edge ones that come w/ this mixer takes 3x longer to mix butter and just not as well as the flat edged beaters.. i bake alot so this is important to me. i haven't tried the corkscrew beaters yet.
wouldn't buy it again.
