KitchenAid Artisan Series Hand Mixer

The five speeds offer a wide range of control, starting slow enough to fold in delicate ingredients like flour or chocolate chips without creating a mess, and ramping up to a high speed for whipping cream or egg whites.

At 3.75 lbs, this model is designed to be lightweight. The ergonomic handle is specifically shaped to reduce wrist strain, making it comfortable to hold even when you are mixing thicker batters.

Yes, the included stainless steel Turbo Beaters are dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward after you finish your baking.

While it features a powerful motor for its size, it is best suited for everyday tasks like cake batters, frostings, and light doughs. For very stiff, heavy bread doughs, a stand mixer is generally the more effective tool.

There is a dedicated beater ejector button located on the mixer. Simply press it, and the beaters will release automatically, so you don't have to pull them out manually.

The swivel cord can be locked into either the left or right side of the mixer, allowing you to approach your bowl from any angle without the cord getting in your way or dragging through your ingredients.
