Our verdict
The Klarstein 4060656456220 is a 1200W, 6-speed stand mixer priced at $222.79 with a 4.1 rating from 459 reviewers. The high wattage is appealing, but the 220-volt power requirement is a critical limitation for US buyers who cannot use a voltage converter.

Buyers in 220-volt countries who want strong motor output at a mid-range price, or US buyers who already own and regularly use a step-up voltage converter.
Skip if
You are in the US and do not have a voltage converter. Plugging a 220-volt appliance into a standard 110 to 120 volt US outlet will not work and could damage the unit.

Overview
The Klarstein 4060656456220 is a 1200W stand mixer with 6 speeds and knob controls in a compact black body measuring 12.8 x 8.86 x 14.96 inches. At only 3.7 lb, it is unusually light for a stand mixer, which may affect stability during higher-speed mixing. The brand is a German appliance label popular in European markets.
The 1200W motor is higher than most consumer stand mixers in this price range, which theoretically provides more headroom for stiff doughs and dense batters. However, 6 speeds is a narrower range than the 10 to 12 speeds offered by comparable mixers, meaning less fine-grained control over mixing pace.
At $222.79, the price is attractive, and the 459-review count at 4.1 stars provides a reasonable amount of feedback to draw from. However, the 220-volt requirement is a serious practical barrier for US buyers, and the unusually low 3.7 lb weight raises questions about countertop stability during use. Buyers outside the US or those with voltage converters may find good value here.
Pros
- 1200W motor is strong for the price range
- 459 reviews at 4.1 stars provides a meaningful feedback base
- Compact dimensions work well in smaller kitchens
- Priced at $222.79, it is one of the more affordable 1200W options
Cons
- 220-volt power requirement makes it incompatible with standard US outlets
- 3.7 lb weight is very light and may cause instability during mixing
- Only 6 speeds limits fine-tuning compared to 10 to 12 speed competitors
- No bowl capacity spec available in the current data

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Klarstein 4060656456220 in the United States?
Not without a step-up voltage converter that transforms 110 to 120 volts up to 220 volts. Plugging it directly into a US outlet will not work and may damage the appliance. If you buy a converter, make sure its wattage rating exceeds 1200W to safely run this mixer.
Why is it only 3.7 lb?
The listed weight of 3.7 lb is unusually low for a stand mixer of this size and wattage. It is worth verifying this figure with the seller, as extremely light stand mixers can walk or vibrate on the counter at higher speeds. If confirmed accurate, placing the mixer on a non-slip mat would help keep it stable during use.
Is 6 speeds enough for baking?
Six speeds covers the basics: slow fold, general mixing, and high-speed whipping. Most everyday baking tasks only use two or three speed settings anyway. If you need very precise speed increments for delicate work like meringue or chiffon batters, 10 to 12 speeds gives you more control. Six speeds is workable but not ideal for nuanced tasks.
