KitchenAid KHM5DH 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer, White Review

Prior to buying this hand mixer, I always seemed to end up cooking in qalley type kitchens, without the counter space or storage for a stand mixer. Plus I seemed to burn up the motors on any hand mixer I ever bought. I thought I simply asked unfair performance from hand mixers. About the time I burned up the motor in my third hand mixer I saw an ad in a cooking magazine for the then new to the market KitchenAid hand mixer.
So I went out and checked it out. Here are the reasons I bought this hand mixer: a) it was made by KitchenAid; b) it looked like it was easy to clean; c) When compared to the more expensive model with additional speeds, I thought the five speeds would meet my needs; d) It had a "nice feel" to it - it was light weight yet seemed substantial, and well built and well designed.
I have used this mixer ever since, I think it's been about four years (maybe longer), and it has always lived up to my expectations. The five speed model when I bought mine did not come with a dough hook attachment, so I cannot speak to its ability to handle yeast dough; however, it has unfailingly whipped and mixed every concoction I've put it in without any signs of strain. It is easy to clean with its seamless design, as the editorial points out. I enjoy using this mixer, and highly recommend this mixer as a very well designed basic, efficient, and reliable hand mixer.

I bought this mixer 6 months and 2 weeks ago. One of the beaters won't go in all the way - so I can only beat things with one beater. I tried to get it fixed under the warranty - because it is over 6 months - NO GOOD! But, I did buy it with my American Express credit card and they double the warranty!!! Long story short... American Express is giving me back my purchase price and you can be sure I won't buy this model. I am planning on purchasing a different model with Kitchen Aid because of their normally good quality products!! Hope I won't get burned again!
UPDATE! UPDATE!! UPDATE!!
KitchenAid made it good. They sent me another reconditioned hand mixer and it works perfectly!!! I will buy KitchenAid products from now on!!! Also, I tried to change my 1 star rating to a 5 star rating - but the system wouldn't let me - just know I give this product AND this company a 5 star rating!!! Thanks KitchenAid!!

Hamilton Beach 64695 Power Deluxe Hand/Stand Mixer Review

I have to agree with the review "Awful". I recently got this as a gift. Since it came with dough hooks I used it to knead my bread dough. The mixer did a fine job for nearly 5 minutes. Then it started to struggle and smoke started coming out of it.
It is nice to have an inexpensive stand mixer, but I wouldn't recommend using it for anything but cake batter. Throw away the dough hooks, they will only kill it.

They work great and do not over beat the dough as we were doing with our food processor. Has made the KithchenAid hand mixer the most used of our processing tools.

Oster 2534 Inspire Handheld Mixer with Bonus Attachments Review

The biggest issue for me is that the retractable cord is quite short - probably about a foot long - so I can't hold the mixer at a comfortable angle even when I'm working right in front of an outlet. What's more, the lowest setting is much faster than on any other mixer I've used. I've gotten into the habit of whisking by hand until a mixture is fairly thick before turning to the mixer. Even then it's still fast enough to make a bit of a mess, so I usually just finish by hand to save the trouble of having something else to wash up. Lastly, the eject button isn't actually a button, it's just an area of plastic with a logo on it that you're supposed to run your thumb down to release the beaters. It's creaky and feels flimsy, and it doesn't usually let got of the beaters until you try it a few times.
On the upside, the unit has a nice heft, the rubber grip is comfortable, and the switch feels solid. The negatives outweigh the positives for me, though, so I'm going to keep an eye out for something better.

Bond with the kids over a batch of brownies or make a birthday cake for a friend--this versatile handheld mixer, appropriately named "Inspire" comes loaded with features to bring inspiration back into the kitchen. The unit supplies a powerful 250-watt motor that can handle even the heaviest batch of cookie dough, and its six speed settings and Burst of Power function offer all the control needed over the task at hand. Easily switch out one set of attachments for another with the touch of a button. Choose the chrome beaters for conventional mixing of all types of batters, the dough hooks for bread or pizza dough, the whisk for infusing air into egg whites or whipped cream, or the drink rod when blending fun party drinks. Other thoughtful design details include a retractable cord for compact storage; an ergonomic handle to ensure a secure, comfortable grip; and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. White with brushed stainless-steel accents, the handheld mixer measures 10 by 5 by 9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
