Yay? Or nay?? I see the motor speed is 220v. I was going to get the 5 speed but it had so many bad reviews, but then this 9 speed went on sale. I bought it, but it's still processing.

@Rhema I've had the five speed a year or maybe a little more. I've been pleased with it and have made some thick, heavy batches of cookies.  No complaints here.

I own the 9 speed and have been very happy with it for jobs where I don’t want to use my big stand mixer.  The only problem, which I think was more a fluke than something to be wary of, was when one of the beaters broke in half.  It was some time into my ownership and I easily found a replacement.

Yes.  I have had mine for several years now with no problems.  Oops!  I have the 7 speed that I bought from QVC.

I have both  a 9 speed and 7 speed and they are both excellent.  I bake  a lot and the most any good hand mixer ever lasted was about 2 1/2 years and the 9 speed which I use all the time is still going strong over 4 years now and I mix thick cookie doughs all the time.

They came out with a 9 speed one about 12 years ago or so.  I purchased it back then and am very happy with it.  I don't have a stand mixer so I also make dough with it.  It has served me well and I do love all the attachments it came with.

I am looking at a 9 speed too.  I purchased a 5 speed at Target and it has no power at all.  I took it out to my camper to use for light duty and went back to using my $10 hand mixer that is about 20 yeas old.

I also have a KA stand mixer that is 36 years old and still perfect.  I think th older KA products were made better than they are today, just like everything else.

I have had the KA 9 speed for a couple of years now. I love it and have had no problems with it.

I've had mine since Q offered the 9 speed (at least 10 yrs).  I had ordered the 5 speed TSV so glad I received wrong color and could return it.

I have a pro600 KA lift style stand mixer at this point in my life to heavy to move when I need it & I don't do big batches of anything anymore!

I use my hand mixer for everything from whipping cream to 

Cookie doughs.  It's perfect!

So I ordered the 9 speed hand mixer just in case mine decides to "conk out"!

(did the same thing with my Rowenta when on good sale price on Q  - couldn't be without my iron! Best iron ever!)

I have the 9 speed and this Christmas will be 10 years old. Still looks beautiful and is a workhorse. It gets weekly use.

I use the dough hooks to start bread and it cuts thru cookie dough with ease.

Can't recommend it enough!
