I also purchased the Koman Race-for-the-Cure 9-speed Kitchenaid hand mixer (pink and white version) I was shopping for a new Braun hand mixer since, mine started only working on HIGH, anything you tried to mix ended up everywhere! Well, once I read the reviews that a LOT of others had the same problem, I started shopping around and found this, I couldn't make up my mind and I too found the other one on sale and went for it, I am really glad I did! The speeds are great! Very low to very high. Nice mixing wisk is included!! I hope to have this one for many many years, all the reviews seem true, this is a GREAT mixer. Thanks for a great product!

I had originally given this mixer a good review. However, after about 1.5 years of very infrequent use, the mixer would no longer work. It would just not turn on. I called Kitchen Aid, and was shocked to hear that their hand mixers are viewed as disposable after the one year warranty period.
Yes, they do not repair their hand mixers. All they will do is sell you another mixer!! I told them that having spent $77 on this top of the line hand mixer, I expected it to last more than 1 year. My former mixer, a GE, lasted 30 years !!!
KitchenAid said that it would cost more to fix it than it's worth (I believe that, since it's now worthless). And, that their repair centers do not know how to fix them, nor do they supply them with any parts.
So, the mixer was fine, as long as it worked. Mine broke after the warranty period, so it's now throw-away. I told them that I could have bought any piece of junk for $20-30, and it would have probably lasted more than 1 year, and they agreed. So sorry, but NO SERVICE.
This was a HUGE disappointment, and a TOTAL WASTE of the ENTIRE PURCHASE PRICE! (I would give it zero stars if I could.)

I have used the 9-speed KitchenAid hand mixer several times, and it is much better than I could have imagined. It mixes merigues and everything so much faster than my old mixer.
The design is great, too. The mixer beaters and round cord are so easy to clean because of the stream-lined design. It is so easy to use.
The only tiny drawback is that the beaters must be put in the correct openings (they are not interchangeable).
I am thrilled with this purchase, and highly recommend this hand mixer.

We've had this mixer for six months and it does not get heavy use, so how long it will last is hard to say. It replaced a mixer we have had for 23 years so it was with much searching around that we selected this one. The Amazon.com reviews were very encouraging and that Consumer Reports liked it so much also got it picked.
So far, it has plenty of muscle to mix the heavy gooey batters with ease; it also whips cream really well. The seven-speed predecessor had a problem with whipping cream due to inadequate high speed. That problem has apparently been solved with the nine-speed version.
So, with 22.5 years left to go on our longitudinal testing protocol J, everything is great to date.

I bought this mixer as a replacement for a replacement. I'd had a 5-speed (with power boost) Black & Decker mixer forever. When it gave up the ghost, I replaced it with a 5-speed Oster. Since I'd lucked out on my Black & Decker - it was a good mixer and I didn't even know it - I didn't know what "not" to buy and how to search for a good mixer. The Oster's slowest speed was too fast (threw food out of the bowl) and it was so heavy (and improperly balanced) that it was hard to hold up. My mom recommended the KitchenAid 7-speed (she is recently purchased it). We were able to get the 9-speed professional for less than the 7-speed so we grabbed it. I have been sooooooooo happy with it. It works well at high and low speeds (leaving the food in the bowl where it belongs) & is really easy to hold (shaped well, balanced well, and not too heavy). I will never give up this mixer. If it dies, I will replace it with the same kind.

I'd had this mixer on my "Wish List" for sometime, but really couldn't justify purchasing one. My old Black & Decker Ergonomic worked fine, even if it was so loud as to be annoying. Amazon ran a Friday Special on the Koman Race-for-the-Cure 9-speed Kitchenaid hand mixer and it was just too good to pass up. I'm so glad I gave in to impulse and indulged myself when I bought this mixer - the near silence is wonderful. My husband was in the next room the first time I used this and wanted to know what the low humming sound was coming from. Contrast this with the B&D which was so loud, one couldn't hear a person talking right next to them. As for mixing power, the Kitchenaid seems to do just fine with chocolate chip cookie dough. I haven't tried it on potatoes yet, but expect it will do just fine. If you need a hand mixer, as a short-term user, I definitely recommend this one. I hope that it continues to provide years of service since the noisy B&D was 13 years old and still going strong. It has been moved to the workshop for mixing paint...
