KitchenAid Wire Whip

This one fits the K4SSWH from Wal-Mart

FINALLY! If you bought the K4SSWH Kitchen Aid with the bowl lift from Wal-Mart’s black Friday sale, this is the wire whip you want. Strangely, the K4SSWH advertises as a 4.5 Qt bowl yet needs a 5 Qt attachment. Go figure. Don’t make the same mistake I did and get the 4.5 Qt Wire whip, because it won’t fit. This one, however, fits like a glove.

This wire whip is NOT a worthwhile replacement!

The wire whip that we purchased for our KitchenAid (K5SS) mixer is deficient in that the original accessory was made from stainless steel and its dimensions were somewhat larger. This replacement was the only one that we could find available a few months ago. (However, there now ARE other units being promoted as stainless steel but we are still trying to determine whether these are compatible for our mixer model.) The wire whip we originally ordered is promoted as a direct replacement for our specific model mixer, but this is blatantly UNTRUE in that it is not stainless steel and is not quite the right size.

The ordered product KitchenAid Wire Whip is too small so that it does not quite reach the mixing bowl bottom. Also, because these units are now subtantially aluminum it is no longer possible to wash them in any automatic dishwasher. The size problem is clearly a design defect, and the material…

2009 Black Friday Wal-Mart Kitchenaid deal – THIS IS IT!

If you purchased the K45SSWH KitchenAid mixer that was the 2009 Black Friday deal at Wal-Mart this is the whip for that mixer. Even though this whip states it is for a 5 quart mixer it is the one that operates in this 4.5Q gem that was such a steal last year. Learn from my mistake and get mixing right away! It works perfectly. Enjoy.
