The KitchenAid KHM7210OB 7-Speed Hand Mixer, in onyx black, features the powerful but lightweight and quiet DC motor, plus a soft-grip, non-slip handle and a non-tip heel rest. It has the self-cleaning, stainless steel Turbo Beaters II designed with an oval shape and no center post to permit thorough mixing of heavy, dense ingredients without clogging. It also has the Pro Whisk to maximize the volume of air in mixtures for extra-silky icings, fluffy whipped cream, and egg whites whipped to stiff peaks. The lockable swivel cord keeps the cord out of the way while in use for either a left or right-handed operator. Plus, the Soft Start electronic control starts slow to minimize flour puff and splatter for less mess.
