Which is better, the flex edge beater, the sige swipe edge blade, or the new metro beater for all purpose mixing?

I'm extremely satisfied with the original KitchenAid flex edge. I used it today for a smooth pancake mix. The beater fits perfectly the bowl and leaves no lump. For thicker dough, the original beater is stronger and appropriate since we must beat until the dough does not stick the bowl.

I've gotten rid of my flex edge beater. It pushes stuff up towards the top of the bowl so you have to wipe down the bowl more, not less. When creaming butter and sugar you get a ring a couple inches below the rim of the bowl. If you're mixing anything more than a small amount of liquid things can splatter out. My pound cake recipe, for example, uses a dozen eggs. More than once I've gotten egg all over myself. I've never had this problem with the original beater. In my opinion, you should save your money and keep the original, tried and true coated paddle beater.

To me it depends on what you are mixing. i like the original beater for some thing and the flex edge for others. For example if im mixing dry or adding powdered sugar in the mixer I perfer the original. The flex edge beater tends to make a mess if you are not careful and you end up with sugar all on your working surface.

I purchased the side swipe attachment and really like it. With the 6 quart mixer bowl, I found the paddle just didn't get all the ingredients off the bottom of the bowl. This attachment works great and I use it all the time.

I have no idea. Looks very similar but on http://www.blackanddeckerappliances.com/products/food-preparation/blenders/10-speed-blender-bl2010wg.aspx that I went to the blade has writing around edges and mine does not. I also wanted to tell you that I just looked at mine and it is already cracked again. Only used once or twice since got this new one. I will write review about that now. Sorry I couldn't verify.

Just regular mixer beaters.The only thing I don't like about this mixer is that the slow speed is still quite fast.

I usually don't get a bumping sound when my batter is thin. If I'm working with a stiff batter the machine doesn't bump and bang. My flex beater doesn't reach to the very bottomof the bowl and someone told me that I can adjust the depth of the beaters on themixer. I haven't attempted to do that but maybe your beater is reaching to far down into the bowl. If you use the regulare beater does that bump too?

Never used with beaters, but they are very strong suggestion contact manufacturer for answers you are looking for ! I use my every week and are my favorite mixing bowls well worth the money

I have an old 5qt mixer (the lift design like the 6qt) and that is what I got this sideswipe blade for.I have to tell you I do not like it as it is hard to get mix off.I never use it.If you want my opinion,don't get it as you will not be happy with it.

Nooo more serrations! Yay! All fine edge with a great groove at the base for your index finger with fine work like skinning. So much better than the original BGUSK.

I use the mixer rather infrequently, but I would guess that it would hold up as well as any other mixer in the same general price range. I can tell you that it takes longer to mix anything and everything with this mixer, because the beaters do not have the center "spoke" like all the older ones.

The one thing that has stood out to me about this hand mixer was the slower speeds. It is still able to mix anything I have thrown at it, but at slower speeds then previous ones I have owned.

I have been very happy with my mixer. I did purchase a beater than has the rubber "spatula" finish on it that works great to scrape the bowl as you mix.

If you are just wanting a mixer that makes smaller batches of bread, cookies, cakes, etc. then the residential model is the way to go. I purchased my commercial mixer in April and I am loving it. It is a bigger mixer and can handle larger batches of bread dough. I can attest that it makes wonderful bread. I don't have to hand knead anymore!

I owned a Sunbeam Mixmaster for over 40 years before it finally died and thought I wanted a KitchenAid. I purchased a KitchenAid and just was never satisfied. It never whipped frostings as well as my Sunbeam did and this may have been because of the 2 bowl size and beater position adjustment. I always had to scrape the bottom of the KitchenAid no matter how I tried to adjust. I would suggest stepping up to a slightly more expensive model of Sunbeam as the base on this model is plastic and not a sturdy as I would prefer but I absolutely love everything else . . . and whipped potatoes are also creamy and fluffy once again.

I believe it's 2x faster than a regular blender, but might be comparing to its earlier models. As for being the same one as at Sams Club, you'd have to compare the contents of the package. Some Ninjas don't have all the sizes of the containers and different sized blades. Be sure you're comparing apples to apples for the price. My suspicion is that the SAMs club one probably has less container sizes for a lesser price. I would buy this product again in a heartbeat, I love it. And I use it several times a week, have had it for over a year and NEVER cut myself.

I use and love my Side Swipe and so when my daughter in law bought a Kitchen Aid 6 QT Bowl Life model and said that the regular blade did not clean the sides of the bowl well, I looked at Amazon and found a Side Swipe that would fit and it does. Vicki is just so pleased with the Kitchen Aide and the new Side Swipe blade. Hope this will solve the problem fpr upi

To tell you the truth I don't know which mixer it is. It is hinged at the base and lifts up form mixing bowl. The flat beater is identical to the one replaced. Hope this helps. Bob

I am not a KitchenAid Rep, you would have to contact KitchenAid regarding your warranty. I can assure you, the New Metro Design Beater Blade is by far the best for mixing dough, frosting etc. I would recommend this product to anyone.
