The KitchenAid 5 Ultra Power Speed Hand Mixer (KHM512) is a compact, 5-speed electric hand mixer engineered to handle everything from gentle folding to high-speed whipping.

Designed for everyday kitchen tasks, this lightweight mixer pairs a slim, ergonomic body with durable stainless-steel Turbo Beater™ accessories to deliver reliable performance for batters, doughs, mashed potatoes, and whipped creams.

How many speeds are available and what should I use each for?

The mixer offers five distinct speeds to match common kitchen tasks, from slow incorporate to fast aeration. Start at speed one to gently fold in chunky add-ins, then progress through medium speeds for batters and frosting. Speed five is reserved for whipping egg whites or heavy cream to soft or firm peaks.

• Speed 1: Stirring in nuts, chocolate chips, and delicate folding.
• Speeds 2–3: Mixing cake batter, cookie dough, and pancake mixes.
• Speed 4: Beating frostings and thicker batters.
• Speed 5: Whipping cream and egg whites quickly and efficiently.

What accessories come with the mixer and how do I clean them?

This model includes two Stainless Steel Turbo Beater™ accessories engineered for fast, even mixing and thorough ingredient incorporation. Each accessory detaches with a single-handed press of the eject button for quick swaps. The Turbo Beaters are dishwasher-safe, while the mixer body should be wiped clean to protect the motor and controls.
