I bought this as a gift for the mother of a friend of mine to replace her Black and Decker. She absolutely loves it. It starts very gently and smoothly accelerates as you take it through the higher settings. The beater ejection makes it easy to undo the attachments without making a huge mess if you're mixing something slimy. She uses it all the time, and it's very quiet and durable. It's also about the size as most other hand mixers, so it's easy to store it. And she loves the color. Review: Quiet, lightweight overall great product. - I love this Kitchenaid mixer. The 5 speeds are great for all levels of mixing, but my favorite is the lowest speed which is very gentle and prevents spattering of ingredients which was a big problem with my old hand mixer. I also appreciate that it’s very quiet. The beaters pop out easily too. I highly recommend this Kitchenaid model especially for those of us who have shoulder problems or some weakness in the hands because it’s lightweight & very easy to use. ## Features - This hand mixer has the right speed for the task at hand, from mixing in nuts and chocolate chips at speed one, to whipping perfect meringues at speed five - Lockable swivel cord keeps the cord out of your way while mixing - Quickly remove any of the included accessories from the hand mixer with the single-handed press of the button - Mix your ingredients thoroughly, using the thoughtfully designed Stainless Steel Turbo Beater Accessories, dishwasher-safe - Model KHM512 Includes (1) Hand Mixer, (2) Stainless Steel Turbo Beater Accessories ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | KitchenAid | | Color | Contour Silver | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 8"D x 3.5"W x 6"H | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Material | Plastic, Stainless Steel | | Product Dimensions | 8"D x 3.5"W x 6"H | | Special Feature | Detachable Spindle | | Special Features | Detachable Spindle | | Voltage | 120 volts | | Wattage | 60 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KitchenAid - **Color:** Contour Silver - **Controls Type:** Push Button - **Item Weight:** 2 pounds - **Material:** Plastic, Stainless Steel - **Model Name:** 5 Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer - **Product Dimensions:** 8"D x 3.5"W x 6"H - **Special Feature:** Detachable Spindle - **Voltage:** 120 volts - **Wattage:** 60 watts ## Images ![KitchenAid 5 Ultra Power Speed Hand Mixer, KHM512, Contour Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716gRJHF6wL.jpg) ![KitchenAid 5 Ultra Power Speed Hand Mixer, KHM512, Contour Silver - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-zLv2-2ZL.jpg) ![KitchenAid 5 Ultra Power Speed Hand Mixer, KHM512, Contour Silver - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616nKHa1rwL.jpg) ![KitchenAid 5 Ultra Power Speed Hand Mixer, KHM512, Contour Silver - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81spQ9Gd9VL.jpg) ![KitchenAid 5 Ultra Power Speed Hand Mixer, KHM512, Contour Silver - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JetTBJvKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the wattage on your mixer** A: 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 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.) The 5-speed does just fine whipping cream, especially with the whisk (sold separately) . **Q: I would like to know if the lowest speed is slow or is it a warp speed like most blenders? I need something with a slow speed when it is on low!!** A: 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 the best hand mixer I have ever had. I am 72 and have had quite a few of them through the years. **Q: Where is this product made?** A: After being built in China for six years, Whirlpool Corp.'s KitchenAid hand mixers are again being manufactured in the U.S., at the Whirlpool factory in Greenville, Ohio, but the hand mixers are not very powerful even on high, so if you really want a good mixer get the kitchen aid stand mixer with the steal bowl, the artisan mixer has a glass bowl that can break, and the mixer that does not tilt is harder to use, had one in blue for over 30 yrs and loved it before it was stolen :( **Q: Does this come with the accessories (dough hooks and whisk) or just the beaters?** A: Warning: I bought the 5-speed mixer, and the ad states you are getting the heavy duty Turbo Beaters II. This is not the case. It only comes with the standard light duty Turbo Beaters, and I had to purchase the heavy duty beaters (model KHMTB2) separately for about $25 more. Well worth it though. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality *by W***L on July 14, 2026* You can't go wrong with Kitchenaid.
