I was concerned about potential differences between the two models of the 9-speed hand mixer. When I purchased it, the Q was less expensive. Some on Amazon had complained that it did not ship in a retail box. I feared that the Q was a lower-quality model designed for a large, budget reseller such as Wal-Mart. I could find no information on the KitchenAid web site or in its manuals about motor specifications, etc. that might enlighten me.
After writing customer suppoert, I was relieved to learn that the Q mixer is practically identical to the P except that the Q ships with more attachments.

The KHM9Q model is a QVC model that does come equipped with more accessories.
The KHM9P and the KHM900PK are a 9-speed Hand Mixer which includes “Soft Start” and has extra fast and three slow stir speeds, which gives greater control. Its Digital display shows the selected speed at a glance. Pro Whisk ships up fluffier egg whites, icings, and whipped cream. The Electronic Mixing Sensor maintains selected speed automatically regardless of the mixture. Self-cleaning stainless steel Turbo Beater accessories have no center post to prevent clogging. The strong motor handles heavy mixtures with ease and is specially designed for quiet operation and durability. The control pad has smooth, seamless surface for easy clean up.
They all have the same motor and 9 speeds – it is the colors and attachments offered with each that varies.
Here is a link to view both and their attachments/features:

We have used this hand mixer tirelessly for the last 10 years without any problems. It is a solid performer and has whipped up many cakes and cookies without hesitation. The motor churns confidently today as it did the day we started using it. Don’t buy this mixer if you are looking for something to keep for only a few years…this will probably last a lifetime!

I don’t have the space for a stand mixer and I have gone through hand mixers like crazy because most of them just can’t handle big batches of cookie dough. I have five kids and I bake a lot. It has been a big frustration because the last hand mixer I bought lasted through one batch of chocolate chip cookie dough and died on the next try. The one prior to that one lasted no more than five batches…..and the list goes on. these things are just not made to be able to handle it like the hand mixers of yesterday – except this one!!! this one is definitely more powerful and durable. This will last me a long time, I can feel the difference in it. If your’e like me and bake often but don’t have the space for a big stand mixer than this is the mixer for you!! I do wish that the beaters were a little bit more heavy duty, but they do seem to do the job just fine and they can always be replaced.

I bought this somewhat reluctantly, because I had less than fond memories of wrestling mom’s old hand mixer, which always seemed to spatter the kitchen at the slightest provocation, and which was tricky to operate without accidentally ejecting the beaters. My least favorite feature of the old mixer was its tendency to turn itself on when I least expected it, at times rattling away across the counter.
Well, I was completely astonished at how times have changed. The beaters are easy to put on, but they stay put until you eject them. They are also of a different design than the old ones, and they actually drain themselves of the mix if you try to pull them out of the batter when they are still turning. They seem to mix much better, too, with nearly no scraping needed. The mixer is quiet, too, and very light weight. This truly is a wonder of modern engineering. Oh yes, and with electrronic controls, there is no way it can turn itself on – my very favorite thing about my new mixer.

I ordered several of these mixers from Amazon to use as gifts–you know–to have in my gift cupboard when I need a gift and don’t have time to shop. The lowest price point I have seen on Amazon for this set is $34.49. I purchased several for $34.99 (June 2007). I selected this item because the similar hand mixer: Kitchenaid KHM9PWH 9-Speed Professional Hand Mixer, White sells at a higher price, has fewer attachments and appears to be the identical hand mixer.
I was disappointed to discover that this mixer set is packaged in a plain brown box, NOT a *retail* style box with inviting labeling. This makes me wonder if perhaps these are refurbished. I don’t know. I REALLY don’t want to give a refurbished hand mixer to a new bride as a gift! I will probably remove one from the box and try it out to see how it performs before deciding to keep the additional ones I purchased for gifts or return them.
Yes, I know that the box has NOTHING to do with the performance of the appliance. However, for gifting to a new bride, I would have preferred receiving this item in a more inviting box.
After trying this mixer, I will post more on its performance.
