Hamilton Beach 64650 vs KitchenAid KHM926

The Hamilton Beach classic stand, mixer has six speed. Setting plus a quick burst feature for added speed. However, there doesn't seem to be much diff...

it is faster, hotter and more even. We love it! In fact, it has started the chain of replacing ALL of our appliances with the ones from this line. It looks professional and high end. I love the handles and boxy look

It does not come off of the stand easily and if you are not very careful when you attach it to the stand it will fall off. I would not recommend or purchase again.

It was applied crooked, but I'm afraid I will tear it up if I try to correct it. My previous Kitchen Aid had a sturdy, bendable metal for the banner and the appliance seemed to be built out of sturdier plastic. The overall new appliance seems to be covered with a lighter plastic. Since this is the way appliances and everything else is made now, I don't have any recourse in a hand-held mixer in this price range

That said, it is very light weight and easier to store than the expensive mixers since the mixer can be unattached from the stand. It gets the mixing done without making the mess that handhelds make. Overall, it works good at a bargain price.

It's big and heavy. So when I was thinking about what I might want for Christmas this year, I decided a hand mixer. Then I started to research hand mixers and ended up choosing this one. I really like it

What makes this product a smarter choice. Number 1. Two in One Lightweight Hand, Mixer Easily Detaches From the Base for Extra Mixing. Versatility

I was more than a surprised, I was amazed! First time using it, WOW I now understood this 'New Age Hand Mixer' as it was the best Hand Mixer I'd ever used in my life and oh so easy to clean, and better yet no loss of batter! The old-fashion hand mixtures I previously owned (from days gone by) was much harder to wash/clean as well as my having to lose some of the batter as the batter would 'stick' to the wider blades & grove. Also taking into account the fact that you'd have to 'manually dial up or down w/only 30-Speed (Low, Med & high) which never really worked as All 3-Speeds were quite high, splashing all over the place w/me practically having to wrap my one hand and forearm to keep splashes from going all over the place. This KitchenAid hand mixer w/much thinner blades is fantastic and once you hit Off it automatically stops, and then when you turn it on it starts as a nice controlled 'slow' speed which you simple press the Up Icon to increase the speed w/out any hassels. I can't believe I resisted trying this newer KitchenAid mixers for so long (foolish on my part) but I guess I just didn't believe the thin blades would really mix the batters well (it's better than fantastic) and I absolutely Love it! I bought the Empire Red color as 'Red' is my happy color and it's absolutely a true (blue/red) color… and not an orange/red color

I wondered if they could possibly do much of a job of mixing dough. Maybe so. Maybe not. But I can understand the restricted size being intended not to overtax the electric motor

On the positive side, the warming drawer is helpful but you can't put in anything too tall- and by tall, I mean a dish with a lot of food on it. The warming burner works really well and is a great feature. While I like this range and it looks beautiful, I would consider a different brand next time around. I'm sorry to be so critical, but customer reviews are important both to other consumers and the company
