KitchenAid KHM3 Classic Hand Mixer

Pros: Light weight, great power.
Cons: I wish it was a little less expensive.

Three weeks ago I was making mashed potatoes for dinner. I plugged in my mixer to mash my potatoes, and it wouldn't work. I plugged it into another outlet, but no dice here either. I guess my mixer, which I had for 2 years had finally seen it's last...

Pros: Great for big and small jobs - powerful
Cons: None

I have had many 'cheap' mixers over the years and always knew when it was time to throw it away and buy another. My indication was when it would start smelling hot, or even start smoking!

I make a lot of cookies and always mix the...

Pros: This mixer will probably be handed down at least one generation, maybe two.
Cons: Lumpy mashed potatoes.

I purchased the KitchenAid hand mixer for two reasons. The first reason is that I couldn't afford a stand mixer. The second reason being, I was familiar with the KitchenAid name and the quality and reliability of their products. KitchenAid has been ...

Pros: easily cleaned, powerful and easy to use!
Cons: NONE

I think most people really don't want to mess up the large mixer each time they want to stir, mix, up a small amount of their food items. That is why I have the KitchenAid 3 Speed Ultra Power Mixer that is easily cleaned, with turbo power when I am using ...

Pros: Expensive, Powerful and Durable
Cons: NONE

The first thing I think of when I think of my Kitchen Aide mixer is Mashed Potato's ---YUM I was lucky enough to have received this mixer as a Christmas gift in 1997. I used to use some cheesy mixer that I think cost $10 or something like that, and ...

Pros: lightweight, mixers cookie dough, has a stand
Cons: none at all!

'twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house, not a mixer was stiring, not eve..... WHAT???? That's right! The night before Thanksgiving I began preparing the food which could be reheated with no problems. One of those items was the...

Pros: Shaft-free "Turbo beaters" clean easily. Gentle, thorough mixing action.
Cons: A tad heavier than cheaper hand mixers.

KitchenAid is one of those manufacturers who just can’t make a bad product, regardless of price. Even this, their least expensive hand mixer, says “quality” from the moment you pick it up, and affirms it when you switch it on.

A professional...

Pros: awsome power
Cons: more expensive than some

I have one word for the Kitchen Aid three speed hand mixer, WONDERFUL! This this is awsome! I needed a new hand mixer. I usually buy the cheap kinds, for around twenty dollars. My husband decided that he would go out and pick one up for me and he...

Pros: Excellent quality all around
Cons: price

My kitchenaid mixer is the best mixer I've ever used. At first I was a little concerned to be spending almost double what other hand-held mixers cost. But I had such bad experiences with the mixers we received for our wedding that I decided to go for it....

Pros: Guarantee & Performance
Cons: None

The Lifetime guarantee of the Kitchen Aid hand mixer makes it a great buy with the bonus of having a great mixer. Several years ago the Kitchen Aid was rated tops in "Consumer Reports" without regards for its great guarantee. I purchased and...

Pros: quiet and powerful
Cons: costs more than other mixers

My old hand mixer died on Christmas Eve, 1997, when I tried to blend nuts into cream cheese fudge. The little motor whined, smoked, sputtered, and stopped right in the middle of the candy.

The day after Christmas, my husband purchased the...

Pros: Balances well in my hand, mixes well, stores easily
Cons: beaters are kinda strange

I received this mixer as a bridal shower gift. I was very excited as I had been using the mixer that my mother received for HER bridal shower 28 years ago.

It took me a minute or two to figure out how to insert the beaters. One of them...

Pros: Lots of Power in a Small Appliance
Cons: Puts your Stand Mixer Out of Business

I have both this hand mixer and the Kitchenaid stand mixer. The stand mixer is a beautiful machine that looks great on my counter... but all it does in my kitchen these days is look pretty. The Kitchenaid hand mixer, on the other hand, is in use almost...

Pros: Excellent customer service
Cons: Good for light-duty only

Honestly, I think the reason that I chose to buy this hand mixer was because the Kitchen Aid stand mixers have such a good reputation. I thought that by purchasing the hand mixer, I could get the same quality for much less money. I should have just...

Pros: beaters don't shed metal bits, as an earlier brand I had did.
Cons: Beater kept falling out. Customer service unhelpful.

For years I trusted the Kitchen Aid name. This has been the only Kitchen Aid product that really disappointed me. It was given to me as a gift 5-10 years ago. After a few years of normal, household (not industrial) use -- maybe once or twice a month, one ...
