KitchenAid - KHM512ER 5-Speed Hand Mixer - Empire Red

I purchased this as a replacement for my Hamilton Beach mixer, which finally broke after 20 years of hard work. Out of the box, beautiful color (I chose blue), and super lightweight. The arms were a little tricky to insert (one of the holes is more recessed than the other), and it took me a couple tries to make sure they were in securely. Once I got everything going, I made a batch of lemon bars, and this little mixer did a great job. Operation was quiet and shifting power levels was incredibly smooth. From breaking up the butter into a shortbread crumb (hard work), to fluffing up the lemon curd (delicate job), this mixer did an excellent job. I think I’ll find myself using this more often than it’s big bro, the kitchen aid stand mixer, as cleanup is so much easier, and I love this blue color. Super happy with this purchase.

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.

The mixer is good, if you do not need a professional one, but just use it in everyday life, then this is the very thing - the price is adequate , I advise.

Work perfect and you can adjust the speed and the mixing process. Worth the price

I recently purchased the KitchenAid KHM512IB Ultra Power 5-Speed Hand Mixer in Ink Blue, and it has been an absolute game-changer for my baking and cooking projects. Here’s why I love it: Powerful Performance: Despite its compact size, this mixer packs a punch. It easily handles everything from whipping cream to mixing thick cookie dough. The 5-speed settings offer excellent versatility, allowing precise control for any recipe. Ergonomic Design: The mixer is lightweight and easy to hold, even during extended use. The comfortable handle reduces strain, making it ideal for big batches of batter or multiple tasks in the kitchen. Quiet Operation: I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is. Even at higher speeds, it doesn’t create excessive noise, which is great when cooking while others are home. Stylish Appearance: The Ink Blue color is stunning and adds a pop of style to my kitchen. It’s a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics—something KitchenAid always gets right. Easy to Clean: The beaters are easy to remove and clean, saving me time and effort. The compact size also makes it easy to store when not in use. Overall Experience: This KitchenAid hand mixer is perfect for everyday use and easily handles various tasks. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or need something reliable for occasional use, this mixer delivers exceptional quality at a great price.

this was bought as a replacement for one given to me about 20 years ago. They are well built and can handle all that you put it through, and it will probably last just as long as the first one.

Quiet!! Lightweight. Only criticism is that the beaters seem shorter than previous mixers we’ve owned. It seems like we buy a hand mixer every December, our family makes holiday cookies, and the mixer either burns out in 12 months of light duty or is excruciatingly loud. We literally trashed the last one for its ear piercing sound. This KitchenAid mixer is pleasantly quiet and easy to use. Hopefully it lasts more than 12 months - but so far so good.

I love the KitchenAid products. This is my second mixer, wanted a new color, and this is spot on. Like the variable speeds. The low speed is perfect for adding things like powdered sugar slowly.

What a light weight hand mixer not loud at all I have a stand kitchen aid but my hand mixer (hamilton beach broke ) what a difference to the kitchen aid very light mixes nice and smooth i know this one will last a relly long time kitchen aid is the BEST out there worth evey penny dont think twice!!
