Answer:
For this model, the KA rep is wrong. Watts = volts x amps. That's .6 x 120 = 72. The amps are printed on the heel of the mixer. KA likes to claim their DC motors are more efficient, but that does not affect the wattage - even if it were true. There is a reason KA doesn't post the wattage on their box: they are low in p… see more For this model, the KA rep is wrong. Watts = volts x amps. That's .6 x 120 = 72.

There is a reason KA doesn't post the wattage on their box: they are low in power. By the same token, they are light weight and have a true slow start. It just takes longer to whip the potatoes. (The newest KA 7 & 9 speed mixers have .9 amps which gives 108 watts.)

Answer:
After reading the answers below from other customers, I must make a rebuttal. While it is true that this mixer sounds slow, it whips cream in 60 seconds flat, whereas any other mixer I have had takes 5 - 8 minutes of beating to get whipped cream into peaks. It also handles cookie dough, cake dough, etc. It is by far… see more After reading the answers below from other customers, I must make a rebuttal.

Answer:
THIS mixer comes with excellent beaters! And NO they do not rust! I usually wash them and then set them in my mixing bowl on the counter. They dry there and have not rusted. Ive had my mixer about 6 months and use it 2-3x per week for various things.

Answer:
It does not have a retractable cord, but the cord is rounded for easy cleaning and swivels so that you can use the mixer in different positions. Very nice!

Answer:
I like the mixer but I'm not a real baker... it works quite well for mixing ingredients for tiramisu.. but it uses egg yolks, not egg whites...
