Experts say that although a hand mixer can't compete with a stand mixer, the compact KitchenAid Ultra Power KHM7T can perform many tasks with ease, making it one of the best on the market, even though it's one of the most expensive. Experts said that the KitchenAid hand mixer mixes stiff cookie dough without slowing -- one of the toughest tasks for a hand mixer. Reviewers also say it is comfortable to hold. The most common criticism of the seven-speed KitchenAid KHM7T is its high price tag. The Braun MultiMix 4-in-1 M880 (*est. $30) performs almost as well at half the price.

The KitchenAid 7-Speed KHM7T hand mixer has been included in rigorous testing at Cook's Illustrated and Consumer Reports. We also read several dozen owner-written reviews on this hand mixer at Amazon.com, Cooking.com and Epinions.com.
