Kitchen Aid Mixer - 5 Speed Hand Mixer

    Broken beaters - I had my 5 speed Kitchenaid hand mixer for almost 3 years now. I loved it so much, it mixed all my cookie dough with ease. Now the beaters broke for my hand mixer and I'm wondering weather it's worth it to buy a new mixer or just the beaters. I think it should have lasted longer than 3 years. I may just buy another brand. You should be able to buy replacement beaters at a fraction of the cost. The replacement beaters are worth it!

    Another set of broken beaters - I have two KitchenAid hand mixers and they are great, but I also have broken beaters and am on line to order another set. I think you should consider re-designing the beaters to make them stronger!

    Sad....broken beaters - I used my last Kitchenaid hand mixer for years and the motor finally wore out. I had this hand mixer for less than a year and one of the beaters completely separated from the post. Very disappointed. Will try another make next time.

    Broken Beaters - My beaters broke after about three years. I used it for frostings. The highest speed was not that powerful.

    Another case of a broken beater - Hmm... I also have had my KitchenAid mixer for about three years and one of my beaters already broke. I ordered a new set, too. I agree, the beaters should be made better. Other than that, the mixer has been great.

    Beaters - just like the rest i have broken beaters. must be a flaw in the beaters if so many people are having the same problem. kitchenaid should be replacing them for free if they want return customers.

    Beaters broken - Like the other reviewer, I too broke both my beaters. I have only had the mixer about 15 months, when the first one broke. Now I am on this site searching for replacements. Ugh....

    homemaker - The mixer is awesome. It has the power they say it does, BUTTTT I've went thru two sets of beaters in 14 months. The first replacement was free, now I'm using my daughters' GE mixer! The little wire beaters are flimsy and break or bend when mixing cookie dough. I've snapped all the wires loose making chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookies. Would not recommend the beaters-and what good is a mixer without beaters?

    Broken Beaters - I have had my Kitchen Air Mixer for several years and use it seldom as I have a stand mixer. I only use it for light mixing. Kitchenaid should redesign the beaters as they should be more durable.

    Not So Fast - I like the hand mixer and the price was reasonable but the highest speed really isn't all that high. I guess I should have opted for the 7 speed but I really think that with 5 speeds the fifth speed should be pretty powerful but it isn't.

    Broken beaters - I love this mixer, but I have had 2 sets of broken beaters in 18 months. Wish Kitchenaid would redesign their beaters. Think I will just buy another bowl for my stand mixer.
