What customers say about "Key Specs"
KitchenAid KHM5APGA 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer
  • A hand-mixer with a slow speed slow enough not to spew flour everywhere!
  • This mixer is quiet. It does have a nice variety of speeds.
  • The slow speeds are actually slow and the high speed is more than adequate.
  • This mixer does all these things really well. The mixer is really easy to clean as well, and I usually have no issue with power.
  • It's not very powerful and I thought I was getting a more powerful hand mixer than I thought I was.
Cuisinart CHM-3 Electronic Hand Mixer 3-Speed
  • Great price for a great hand held mixer. I cook daily and love to bake, so we utilize our hand mixer 1-2 times a week or more.
  • Very simple to use with plenty of power. Works very well and the price is very good.
  • There are only three speeds: fast, faster and “fling batter into the next room.”
  • There is no slow speed, so make sure you've got the beaters in the bowl.
  • The low speed is pretty high if you want to mix dry, powdery flour with liquids - expect dust flying.

What customers say about "Features"
KitchenAid KHM5APGA 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer
  • The unit seems powerful enough for cookies, not sure if it would be strong enough for bread.
  • Works great, and looks equally as good. Loved the different accessories as well!
  • The whisks work great, the speeds aren't too fast and there is a definite difference between the speeds.
  • Works great, comes with dough hooks, too!
  • The mixing blades are not at sturdy as my other cheaper brand, and the speed appears to be lower even when set at it's highest. I am disappointed.
Cuisinart CHM-3 Electronic Hand Mixer 3-Speed
  • The blades were interesting more like whisks than the usual blades.
  • The whisk blades do a great job of beating cream and meragines.
  • The beaters eject with a lot of enthusiasm, so make sure you’re aiming at the sink before you hit that button.
  • Handle & speed switch can be difficult to hold & control when your hands are wet.
  • There are only three speeds and no slow startup and slow speed is pretty darn fast. There is no single whisk beater with this mixer.
