KitchenAid Ultra Power 5-Speed KHM512 vs Toastess Delfino DLHM-564

[, Music, ], hey it's kate, with what tools inside and i want to share my kitchenaid hand mixer with you today. So i do have a stand-up mixer and i us...

Very powerful and love the ease of use. The base makes it great to sit up and not fall over! What a concept. Adjusting speed is as simple as pushing "+" for faster and "-" for slower. Even has a speed ramp up so that you don't sling stuff everywhere!

This mixer is for things like cake batter, frosting, gravy, and bearnaise sauce. My primary use for it is diy lotions and creams, and it is perfect for those. I did a lot of shopping for my hand mixer. My top priority was blades that wouldn't rust or flake chrome off them and that could be washed in the dishwasher

Yes, the case is plastic and not the brushed stainless that it appears to be but so what? We will see how it holds up. And I think that is why it is so lightweight which is another feature I was looking for after hefting the Cuisinart.

Beaters are light weight and cheaply constructed. Flimsy, not sturdy like older mixers were constructed. May be adequate for light mixing jobs. Mixing bars are easily bent out of shape

It is a very heavy duty mixer. And, it is very heavy! My wrists could not handle the power and weight. . Even on the lowest speed it ran way too fast to control the unit and bowl

It seriously makes me sad when I think about having to use it - it is that bad. I would never have expected such a horrible product from a well respected brand like KitchenAid. LET THE BUYER BEWARE - THIS MIXER IS A PIECE OF JUNK! Literally, the WORST mixer EVER! It doesn't even deserve a "one star" rating.

no problems with this mag, however, in Nov I ordered womens day and publisher got it all messed up It will now be delivered in April 5 months after I ordered. Discount mags did give a courtesy refund of $2.00 because of the mix up. This is the first time I have had a problem with ordering magazines from this company

I turned on the old one and compared the noise level to the new KitchenAid mixer. It was like night and day. I hadn't realized the old one was so loud. Another very positive aspect of the KitchenAid is if you are left-handed or right-handed, you can adjust the side the cord comes out of! With the old Von Chef, because I'm left-handed the cord would often drop down into the bowl of whatever I was making

This mixer works great! I love the variability of the settings; makes it perfect for whatever you are working on. However, it is very, very noisy. As for durability, I haven't had this long enough to comment. The noise is the only reason I rate it as 'good' instead of 'excellent'
