Great Product
I love this product. I rated it 4 stars because the part that attaches to the beater is plastic and mine did crack.
In all fairness, I used this product A LOT. I have a home baking business and my beater blade got a lot of use. Much more than a normal person that does not bake for a living. I got my money’s worth and then some. So I have to buy another one, so what!
It works great at scraping the bowl. I NEVER have to turn off the mixer to scrape. Now, you cannot use this for extremely heavy doughs. It works great with cake mixes, frosting’s, fillings, cookie etc.
I did also purchase the SIDE SWIPE blade because the part that attaches to the beater is metal. But the fins are EXTREMELY hard to clean off. I mean to get all of your batter off between the blades was difficult. Also the fins are breaking off.
In Conclusion, I WILL be buying another Beater Blade, because of the ease of cleaning off my batter. It is much more user friendly than the…
Make sure you are buying the right model.
From reading various reviews it seems that there is a pattern with many of the low rated reviews. Many are saying that this paddle is shorter than the one which came with their 5-quart Kitchenaid mixer. I’m going to type this in Capitals so that people who are skimming will notice it: IF YOU PURCHASE THIS BEATER AND FIND THAT IT IS AN INCH SHORTER THAN YOUR ORIGINAL BEATER, YOU PURCHASED THE WRONG MODEL. THIS MODEL IS FOR USE IN 5-QUART KITCHENAID STAND MIXERS WITH TILT-HEADS ONLY. 5-QUART BOWL-LIFT MODELS REQUIRE A DIFFERENT VERSION.
Once again, there are two 5-quart beaters available. One is for tilt-head models and the other is for lift-bowl models. Be certain you are buying the correct version.
love it! make sure you adjust the beater height before use
I used this throughout my holiday baking season and beyond. I love it! As others have mentioned, make sure you get the right one (tilt head vs lift; 5 qt v 6 qt; etc, etc….)
ALSO>>>>>__Read the directions__, you will need to ___adjust the height___ for the beater. Read your instruction manual but on tilt head mixers, there is a little screw that you may have never noticed inside the neck of the mixer, you need to turn this as directed to adjust the height to make the new beater reach the bowl correctly, too low and you can damage your mixer and/or blade, too high and you won’t be mixing anything!
Hope this helps! I love it and am not likely to use my old blade again
