KitchenAid7-Speed Hand Mixer - KHM7210 - Contour Silver

A great handy mixer

I have the kitchenaid stand mixer and got this one when I wanna make smaller batter. The whipping beater works great, I used it to make meringue in smaller batch that only needs 2 eggs so my stand mixer wouldn’t be able to do the job properly and it worked wonderfully.I almost thought they sent me a faulty product because one of the beaters wouldn’t click in. But if you look closely the beaters aren’t identical. And you’ll see on the motor there’s a diagram above each hole to show you which one goes where.

After buying a couple mixers to replace a 50 year old Oster, and returning them, I decided to spend a little more for a good brand name. The others were cheap junk. This mixer is the best! The first speed is nice and slow and doesn’t throw the mix all over the place like the cheaper brands. It’s quiet, many speeds, does a great job. A little heavier which keeps it from bouncing all over the bowl. It is worth the money. I was lucky and got on a good sale. The beaters are stainless steel and won’t rust after a couple uses. You won’t regret this purchase, it is the best.

This is the best hand mixer I have ever used. It is very quiet even on a high speed. It whips even dense items easily. There are seven speed settings so there are lots of options for all your recipes. I highly recommend this mixer.Catherine Chapman

Cons:(1) A bit underpowered (lower power than the $30 workhorse Betty Crocker it's replacing. Better quality, but, still)(2) The buttons are small/thin and soft and you need to press down with your nail. I'm wary of how this will hold up with time.(3) No dough hooks. I don't use them on a hand mixer but it's worth noting.Pros:(1) Build quality and materials feel good. Would be nice to have a metal body but those days are gone at a reasonable price point.(2) Beaters are good quality. A bit short but good quality and without obvious rivets or welds.(3) Light (well under 1kg with beaters on) and the weight that is there is balanced close to the grip so it feels very very good.(4) Very stable when standing 'up'. I can't stand mixers that make you place them on their side or kickstanded up by the beaters.

This is the exact same beater that we have had for years and we love it It is powerful and gets the job done.
