Professional chefs have long sung the praises of the KitchenAid stand mixer. Now, KitchenAid has designed a product specifically for the home baker with this nine-speed hand mixer. Its digital display shows the selected speed, providing precision control, while an electronic sensor works with the powerful yet lightweight motor to maintain that speed in any mixture, heavy to light. Designed with nonclogging air vents, the mixer is easy to clean because smooth, sleek surfaces have no seams or grooves that trap ingredients. The mixer comes with traditional beaters, a pro whisk attachment for fluffier mixes, and a one-year warranty. --Linda Dahlstrom

For a decade, I've been using KitchenAid hand mixers to mix heavy dough, light batters, whip cream, make meringue, and mash potatoes. They are perfect for making cakes, cookies, fillings, pastries, and most baked goods. I've had 2 KitchenAid hand mixers, including this 9-speed, and both have run smoothly and powerfully enough for the stickiest cookie dough. The 9-speed weighs about 2 pounds, which feels heavy after 5 minutes of constant use, but never so much that it really bothered me. Unless you are making bread dough, mixing large quantities, or have a weak arm or arthritis, there is probably no need for a stand mixer. KitchenAid hand mixers will get the job done.
The KHM9PWH has 9 mixing speeds. The first three speeds are slow, or stirring, speeds. Speeds 4-6 could be called medium. 7-9 are fast to superfast. To run the mixer, you first flip on the power switch on the side. Then press "Run" with your thumb while holding the mixer. Two arrow buttons provide easy "speed up" and "slow down" control. The current speed is displayed digitally right above your thumb. The mixer gently comes to a halt, even from high speeds, when you press "Stop", just below the speed buttons. When running, the righthand (looking from above) beater spins normally, while the left beater makes a slight circular motion while spinning. If you're wondering about the difference between the 9-speed, 7-speed, and 5-speed models, using my previous, somewhat subjective, definitions: The 5-speed mixer has 1 slow speed, 3 medium speeds, and 1 fast speed. The 7-speed model has 2 slow speeds, 3 medium speeds, and 2 fast speeds. I find the additional slow speeds on the 9-speed mixer useful.
The mixer's surface is smooth for easy cleaning. All but the eject button are covered. The cord is also smooth and round so wipes off easily. The KHM9PWH comes with a single whisk attachment, which goes in the hole for the righthand beater. I've never found the whisk advantageous in whipping cream or meringue, but it might be beneficial in breaking up clumps in sauces. The whisk attachment is longer and wider than the beaters. It protrudes 7 inches when inserted in the mixer, instead of the beaters' 6 inches. The instruction book for the KHM9PWH is short but easy to understand, well-illustrated and contains 20 recipes, including suggestions for flavored whipped creams. The same instructions are provided in Spanish, but not the recipes.
I've been very pleased with my KitchenAid hand mixers, but they don't last as long as larger KitchenAid appliances. I've had the 9-speed for three years. Before that, I had a 7-speed model for 7 years. The motor never slowed down a bit. But I had to replace that mixer, because one of the beaters would no longer lock in place. I've always found that KitchenAid motors live up to their reputation, but other little things can go wrong.

Over the years, I have purchased several hand mixers and none can compare to this model by Kitchen Aid. This mixer is as close as one can get to professional equipment. Unlike most hand mixers, it has nine (digital) speed settings and and can easily handle heavy duty mixing needs. Other advantages are that it is lightweight, quiet, and very easy to clean. This mixer costs a little more than other products in it's category, but it is worth every penny. I highly recommend it.

This is a great mixer, and definitely a step up from even other KitchenAid mixers. My previous model was KitchenAid's 5 Speed model, and while it lasted me a long and faithful time, it was a bit down on power, and the speed transitions between the different settings were not smooth. This 9-speed is almost as powerful as the new and popular immersion blenders (or boat-motors, as Emeril would say), but the smooth electronic transitioning between 9 different speeds gives the user a great deal of control which will prevent you from over-beating stuff.KitchenAid's patented beaters remain the best around in terms of maximum air incorporation into eggs or batter that you are working on. The electronic speed control is a flat and integrated switch, the whole surface of the mixer with the exception of the ejection nob is now one smooth unit that makes it extremely easy to clean. The mixer is not super light, but not annoyingly heavy, either, so you won't tire out on those longer 8-10 minute mixing steps that some cakes require

Good enough... ;->
It does what I needed it to do......had worse, had better. Would be nice if it came with another pair of broader beaters.

What I wanted
It was exactly what I wanted. It arrived on time and in good shape. It was easy to order. It was a little too expensive.

It seems that these mixers all seem to die after sitting unused for some amount of time. Read more

great
You need to be careful with the beaters. I already ruined one set and had to order another set. The beater works well with enough power for a batch of cookies.

Good while it lasted
Mine too bit the dust. I was luckier than most, though.....mine lasted four years. I absolutely loved it. But now it's dead, and I'm in the market again.

Not as good as it used to be....
After 20+ years, my old KitchenAid Hand Mixer was just worn out. The mixers would not stay in. So I bought this one thinking it would be EXACTLY like my last 9-speed Professional... Read more
