Kitchenaid 72 Watt, 5-Speed Specialty Mixer
This unit was not purchased at Amazon for reason I will explain.
72 Watts: yes this unit only has 72 Watts, and, because of that, it is the quietist, smallest and lightest unit I have come across. Even the $6 Rival 5-speed unit from W-Mart is noisier, larger and heavier than this unit, and, its slowest speed will splatter your walls (125 Watt motor). The HPM5A was designed to fit in the niche between hand stirring and folding, and, a Kitchenaid stand mixer which, in my case, is a Sunbeam Mixmaster. In regard to filling the niche, I would give the mixer 5-stars.
Speed Differences: the difference between the 3-Speed, 5-Speed and 7-Speed, as far as I can tell, is low range. The 7-Speed offers a true low range. The 5-Speed offers a low speed that will eliminate spattering in most situations. Remember, your hand is controlled by your brain, and, can do a far better job at stirring and folding than any low geared machine. In addition, the 3-Speed and 5-Speed have mechanical...
5 speed ultra slow hand mixer WITHOUT dough hooks!!!!
The 5 speed mixer from Kitchenaid is pretty to look at but I am a bit disappointed by the lack of power. It seems like I am beating the cake batter in slow motion. Maybe I am just used to high speed power mixers. It definitely takes some getting used to. Other than that it looks like brand new and works okay.
!!!*** Also the seller writes that the mixer comes inlcuding liquid power rod and dough hooks which seems to NEVER be delivered as advertised. ***!!!
This is false advertisment and should take some consequences! I guess that's the way to go. Fool the paying customer and see who notices that half of the purchase is missing. I am angry that it didn't come with all the utensils because that forces me to write e-mails and letters back and forth. Grrrrrr
Good buy but..........
.....if you were counting on getting the attachments think again. This mixer is a great buy but it does not come with the dough hook or blender attachments. I bought two and when I realized the attachments were missing, I contacted Amazon and they sent me a third mixer. The third mixer did not have the attachments either so I sent the third mixer back. I really wanted the mixer so I kept two and asked for a price reduction which I got.
