KitchenAid hand mixers come with extra accessories, so you can do more with the mixer. For example, you can whip whipped cream with the balloon whisk and use the dough hooks to knead cookie dough. You can store the accessories in the included bag. The KitchenAid mixers have 7 to 9 settings. That's useful, because this way you can accurately adjust the speed to the preparation. Thanks to the LED light, you can clearly see which setting you're using.
