I'ver read several comments regarding the "flakes" which the beaters leave behind. Any explanation on these remarks?

I've been using mine for about a month, and I've been paying attention to this. So far, I've had no problems.

I think the flakes were mentioned for the model below this one since it was chrome plated. these are stainless steel beaters so they should not be peeling.

I've not seen any flakes either. It is a great beater for the price of it. I find the basket very convenient for limited storage space.

Hi - I've been using this for probably over a year now and I have not seen any flakes. Great little beater for the price.

I have not encountered that as yet, I only found it difficult to use the storage container that attaches to the bottom of the mixer. sorry

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.

The beaters are chrome-plated. You need to contact the manufacturer concerning using on pound cakes.

There is nothing to indicate that the Potato Flakes (which are absolutely delicious) contain bisulfites ...... I even checked the website, nothing noted there ..... I do feel that it would be on the packaging if it did, however, just to be absolutely certain, why don't you call Bob's Red Mill company and ask, I think that would help you feel better about trying the product.

I don't think so. They are salted for at least a year and stacked under weights. Then they become like hard rock, shaved into thin paper-like flakes and bagged with air. Ours kept for a couple months as we sprinkled over rice. I just closed it after rolling most of the air out. My husband became a lover of bonito flakes! Best wishes.

I sent my Purchase back because the seal was open. I ended up ordering veg. flakes from "DENVER SPICE" company. I was buying TONES veg.flakes for 30 yrs. and then Tones stopped making them which was very disappointing because they were the best on the market, so for the last 10 yrs. I have been going on line to buy them which most do have tomatoes in the mix but still have a good flavor. You just have to try different brands until u find the one you like best.

I would say they qualify yes. I don't know that they are flakes, they do plump up nicely into petite diced vegetables, but they definitely seem like they would fit the bill in a soup recipe.

I had a different problem my beaters started to rust after I soaked them just to get the batter off.... in addition only 3 of the 5 speeds worked ...

The beater rotates around in a circle, I guess meaning it has "planetary action." Also, it doesn't actually touch the bottom, so you will need to use a spoon to mix up the very bottom of the batter. And mine is holding up just fine!

The booklet recommends hand washing. I've only used it twice but I just soak the beaters in the bowl and they are easy to clean. Not a problem. Good luck.

I have had mine for approx. 3-4 years and have not had a flake yet. Love it!

Reduce the content of metal filings in your recipes? :)Your experience is the opposite of mine, but maybe one beater isn't setting right and it's being smacked about by the other... Make sure both beaters are in completely and don't turn much without the motor running.It should still be under warrantee, maybe this is a question for the manufacturer.

Captain Obvious here...The actual picture show it stocked with uh...flakes! Really people......

I imagine it's because they've reinforced the beater retainers. This is the very reason I replaced my old mixer. The retainers would no longer hold onto the attachments. I do feel a bit more secure about these.

I didn't find them much different (I think the other descriptions are pretty accurate) except that they picked up hair/grit worse than the standard casters did. I felt like they caused as much damage as the old wheels, because the "soft" surface was soon rough from the dust/grit they had accumulated. :( I had to wash them, weekly, to keep them relatively clean- but that didn't change the fact that they were permanently pitted/marred by grit.

NO! I forgot and put it into the dishwasher and the metal coating washed off (who would think?) so now it's unusable because there is grey power residue on it. Going to try the plastic coated beater which is dishwasher safe.

Yes, it has happened to me a few times. You have the option of removing the beater before the final rise as Bonnie stated before. The manual has instructions that describe this option.
