Works Until It Doesn't
2008-11-16This was an enjoyable appliance when it worked, and I was quite pleased with it until a couple months ago when it just wouldn't turn on. I'm not a big baker so it was used very lightly. I purchased it only a little over a year ago and it is already dead. Fortunately my American Express extends the warranty by a year so I'm able to get a refund. My old cruddy 3-speed $15 hand mixer lasted for years and years - 10+ years. I'm disappointed in this KitchenAid product - so much for KitchenAid quality.

Great Product
2008-11-09I read all the reviews before I purchased this product. I love to back and when making cookies I often double the recipe. I chose this product for its power and varied speed settings. I was not disappointed. It has worked wonderfully! I LOVE this mixer!

Love it!
2008-11-02This little sucker packs a punch! I just completed a Wilton Cake decorating class, and was told by the instructor not to use a hand mixer becasuse the motor would burn up. Little did she know, Kitchenaid had this awsome mixer! I have made icing, cake, cookies and dough with no problems at all. I love how easy the clean up is. Don't pass this one up, just buy it now!!!

handheld KitchenAid mixer
2008-10-22This was a gift for my wife. She is a serious cook and also owns a KitchenAid stand mixer. This is the perfect compliment. I selected it based on the Consumer's Report review. Have to say it was a good choice.

Poor quality for the Kitchenaid name
2008-09-22My mom has had two Kitchenaid stand mixers, one that's lasted for about 10 years with no problems (which she handed down to me) and another that she's had for about 5 years with no problems. Since the stand mixers were of such high quality, I thought a hand mixer would be a great purchase. Wrong. Within the first month I had it, the whisk attachment broke. The whisk itself came loose from the metal rod at the bottom while I was making some frosting, and I guess the rod was spinning loose for a while in the little hole where it's attached, because when it finally came apart and I grabbed the two pieces, I got severe burns on two of my fingers.
Kitchenaid never sent a replacement, even though I followed all the procedures and submitted my information twice. Now, two years later, my mixer won't turn on at all. I used this mixer maybe once a month, if that, so I'd say I got around 20 uses out of it - which is complete garbage for a product that retails at $90. I had a cheap $20 Hamilton Beach mixer from Wal-Mart that lasted for 6 years before this. I'm so angry I will never buy another KitchenAid product again. KitchenAid, you need to get your act together.
