Do you have this mixer and do you like it? I need a new hand mixer and this one seems to be priced well compared to the company's website. Thanks.

I got mine just a few months ago & have only used it about 5 or 6 times. So far I like it, & it's not too heavy for my arthritic hands. I also like the fact that I can store it in a drawer. I love my KA stand mixer, but I think I'll have to give it to a family member since I hardly ever use it any more. I hope you like it if you decide to buy one.

I have it and like it. I bake at least 300 dozen cookies at Christmas time and it has held up well for over 2 years. I would definitely recommend it.

Susan - Love your avatar. It makes no sense, as I'm of a mature age and never had kids, but I think that Hello Kitty is THE cutest!

Anyway, the ones that QVC sells are made in China so that could account for the price differential. Just an FYI, as I'm sure that they don't shout that from the rooftops like they used to when they were made in the US.

I have a Cuisinart 9speed that I've had for many years and always loved, so I figure that 9 speeds is more than enough.

Pook - that's a serious lot of cookies!!

Yes, I have it and I like it very much. It's not like I'm whipping up angel food cakes or anything like that. Probably use it three times a month so it is perfect for me and DH.

I love Hello Kitty and I am almost 55. You are never too old.

Thanks everyone.

I have it and like it for quick, small jobs instead of using the big stand mixer. It operates smoothly and isn't super noisy.

I have it and use it.

Amazon has great prices and free shipping.

I had one, red with all the attachments. Bought it a few years ago when it was about $100.00. It lasted a few years of LIGHT use then died last year. NOT happy. (I used it 4-5 times a year to make cookies.)

I do own this hand mixer and love it. Have had it several years now and no problems. Sure beats pulling out my large mixer. I hardly use that anymore now. For a hand help mixer, it quite a bit of power.

Yes. Yes. to both questions. I have the standard KA mixer. But there are times when I don't need that big mixing bowl. Or I want to mix something on the stove in a pot.

I use it a lot!!!

I traded in my kitchenaid hand mixer for a Wolfgang Puck one with 3 beaters several years ago.

I've had mine for about 15 years. I don't use it very often, but it's nice when I do.

I have the nine speed mixer, two of them actually, both purchased at Q.

The first one I used for years, then, one day, I was busy in the kitchen and accidentally knocked it off the counter, and it hit my wood kitchen floor. Hard.

I picked it up, the beaters were in it, and turned it on. It still worked, but sounded/felt a little wonky, like maybe I had bent one of the blades slightly. It still worked, but the next time they were on, I ordered another.

I loved it so much from the start, and it is very hard to find at times in the 9 speed, so I didn't ever want to be without one. I put the old one down in the basement for my son to take when he leaves home (along with several tubs of great kitchen stuff I've collected over the years for him).

The best part is the many speeds. The lower speeds let you mix things like powdered sugar without throwing it everywhere, and the higher speeds get through tougher jobs.

I can't imagine going back to a three speed mixer like in the old days. I do have a KA stand mixer from the 1980's but don't always want to get that one dirty for a small job, so I find plenty of use for both things.

I highly recommend the KA 9 speed.
