The KitchenAid 5KHM6118 is a powerful and versatile hand mixer, perfectly suited to completing a range of mixing tasks from mixing dry goods to whipping air into eggs or cream. This range is also accompanied by some quality of life features, such as dishwasher-safe parts and an integrated storage clip.
The KitchenAid 5KHM6118 has been designed with performance as a priority. To that end, it can be set to work at any of 6 speed levels, allowing it to perform slow pace functions such as combining dried fruits or nuts into a mixture or high-pace functions such as beating heavy cream into peaks.
The 5KHM611’s results and efficiency are also further enhanced by its unique flex-edge beater design. This twist on a standard beater allows for twice as much contact with a work bowl, facilitating faster results and less waste without the need for scraping ingredients off the side of the bowl.
Supporting its performance-related features, the 5KHM6118 also proves easy to control through a simple but very intuitive sliding switch. This can be easily adjusted between speed levels while it’s active with just one hand, allowing for quick changes to the mixing pace on demand.
Additionally, the 5KHM6118 is also very lightweight, coming in at only 1.4 kilos. This allows for it to be used extensively without being burdensome and tiring.
One of the less flashy but highly impactful features of the 5KHM6118 can be seen in its compact design. Thanks to an integrated storage clip, it can be used to hold both beaters and the pro whisk in a neat and tidy manner. This makes it easy to store even in kitchens with limited space as it takes up no more space than is absolutely necessary.
