this item arrived fast. I won’t know how it performs until after Christmas when my wife makes her first cake.

I have a 5 qrt Kitchen Aid and this product was recommended by a friend. But it doesn’t seem to fit I can not lock the head when this product is on. So I have not been able to use it. Great idea but I can’t seem to get it to work!

I’ve used this blade several times and still don’t know if I like or not. It does keep the batter off the bump in the bottom of the bowl and scrapes the sides down pretty good, but it has a tendency to throw your batter out of the bowl. I usually use a medium speed so I’m thinking it should not do that. Maybe my adjustment is off. I don’t know but I don’t think it’s all it’s cracked up to be.

Although the beater blade DOES scrape down the sides, it has a few shortcomings which makes it a lot less useful than it could be.
1. Dry ingredients have nowhere to go but out. If your bowl is anywhere more than 1/2 full, even if you start on slowest speed (Kitchenaid tilt head), a good deal of flour flies into the air and out of the bowl. I’ve wound up starting batters with the regular blade, then switching to a Beater Blade. Which is a pain.
2. Wet ingredients — particularly fats like butter – seem to clump up on the blades themselves and don’t get mixed. It seems almost like the plastic blades aren’t “slick” enough. So after a few minutes mixing a batter and it all looks well blended, you take out the blade and its got unmixed stuff on it. So now I have to remember to stop in the middle of mixing to use a knife to scrape down the blades.
3. Overall construction looks cheap. Very lightweight plastic. Durability is questionable.

Bought this for the wife as she has just started a cake decorating class and she is making massive amounts of frosting.
She says it works very well and the only drawback might be that it is made of plastic and not cast.
