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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Say to get out & easy to put away. *by A***R on 22 June 2026* Having a hand mixer handy is so much better than dragging the big one out. This kitchen aid one works great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really like *by T***S on 3 June 2026* Can't complain, it's kitchen aid. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Cannot get light fluffy butter for frosting- fastest speed is still too slow!! *by 1***B on 4 September 2025* ooohhh- I'm SOOO mad at myself!! Trying to pick a new blender knowing I had til "Sept" something (but not sure which date) I come to find out it was actually the 1st!! and now I'm STUCK with this 'high end' mixer that BARELY mixes fast enough to fluff butter and make the easiest frosting there is- American!! But easy or not- you STILL need a fast mixer and though this has a name I know and looks decent- I'm not feeling so good about it's longevity with how thin the beaters are and how slow the highest speed is... UGH... Did I mention just HOW mad at myself I am?? Good grief... hmm....what family member or friend might need a new hand mixer??? 😏🤔....🤣😂Just kidding... but you guys DO like my desserts... Seriously though- this is one of the more expensive ones on Amazon here... and now I've gotta decide if I'm gonna buy a SECOND one?? My advice- go with one of the Chinese sounding off brand cheap ones- they'll probably last as long and will be so fast you'll be complaining about there being no slow speed ;-) haha But you can deal with that- I used to just pulse it and use the beaters to hand mix it some before finally turning my old trusty cheap hand mixer that lasted for like 15 years and then used it to whip all manner of things to their absolute peak! I'd break that thing out even when I have a high end stand mixer!! Just easy to use these things to reduce the amt of time spent scraping down the bowl! Btw- the lower stars are not about me being mad at myself for being stuck with this thing... that I could buy two of the ones I had chosen to replace it....not at all- it's for this thing sounding like it's gonna croak at it's highest speed even though it's not fast enough to get my butter light and fluffy before starting to add in powdered sugar! I shiver to think how it'll do with egg whites to make meringue... But I'll be sure to come admit if it does it! Not holding my breath. ANYone want a mediocre fancy name mixer that was used once for half of what I paid?? ;-) lol...but if you only need it for say mixing things that aren't too terribly thick or need a really fast speed- this may be a great mixer for you!! ## Frequently Bought Together - KitchenAid 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer - KHM512, Contour Silver - KitchenAid KFC3516CU 3.5 Cup Food Chopper, Contour Silver - KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender KHBV53, Contour Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/725941597-ultra-power-5-speed-hand-blender-khm512-silver-contour](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/725941597-ultra-power-5-speed-hand-blender-khm512-silver-contour) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
