tilt head vs bowl lift: Which is better, the tilt head or the bowl lift?
1272040
The lift bowl design is more ridged than the tilt head; this allows for a stronger motor and in the case of the Pro 600 and 5+ the use of the spiral dough hook. You only spill batter taking out the bowl if you try to take it out with the beater, whip or hook still in place. If you release the attachment first, you can take out the bowl out with only a slight tilt back and nothing spills. If you lift the head on the tilt head mixer so you can spin off the stuff on the beater, you are asking to get hurt. You could of course do this on the lift bowl mixer by lowering the bowl part way with one hand and controlling the motor with the other, but again, I don't recommend that. Either style of mixer does a very good job. I think that long term, the bowl lift is better than the tilt head. I have both; I use the lift bowl more.

Carl W. - I have a KSM5 KitchenAid mixer. This SideSwipe is made for bowls that lift up and down - not for the ones with the tilting head. As I am unsure which your mixer is, that is all the advice I can offer. However, I really do like this SideSwipe, as it REALLY does keep me from having to stop and scrape the sides of the bowl - and also it mixes all the way to the bottom (i.e, no dried ingredients are left in the bottom of the bowl when everything looks well mixed). Hope this helps.

I am basically a sports and wildlife photographer. I have a couple of ball heads that I have used in that manner, but the gimbal is much easier to manage. Your camera/lens are centered directly above the tripod instead of hanging off to one side which makes everything much more stable. If you are shooting moving subjects(sports, flying birds, etc...) it is so much easier to follow the action and stay on target with the camera centered and balanced on the tripod. I have had no regrets with my gimbal.

I have a tilt-head but the ice cream maker came with instructions for assembly with a bowl-lift design, so YES! :)

Yes, this is the bowl I bought and I have the artisan series tilt-head mixer. You can even use the plastic splash guard (in a rudimentry way) with this bowl.

There is not much difference between the two but a mere $8.00. In both, the head swivels and there are levelers that will make your settings straight (up/down/sideways/etc). The only difference I can guess is the material's thickness. My previous tripod was a Precision Design 58 much stronger legs, but the head broke. There are not available anymore, I wonder why. If you have the extra $8.00 you might consider buying it but for less you would not notice the difference. As with any tripod, I would never leave my camara unattended unless am taking self pictures and then I would be carefull. Hope this answer your question.

You can tilt but it's at the bottom of the monopod. I haven't found the tilt head necessary.

No.As long as all your lifting is straight up, an you don't tilt the toilet. It's obviously a lot harder/heavier to do this way. I have left a toilet connected before, and the weight of the tank cracked & broke the bowl as I handled it.I recommend removing the tank because I install differently. I don't use the cardboard crush ring. It's easier and I feel better about knowing the gasket is sealed by pressing the rubber ring onto the bottom of the toilet so that it sticks and the plastic is hanging off the porcelain. Then I lift the entire toilet to push the gasket into the floor. No.As long as all your lifting is straight up, an you don't tilt the toilet. It's obviously a lot harder/heavier to do this way.

This one is for the 6-Qt. Bowl lift (which I have), but I got a 5-Qt. bowl and use it in that, too. All you have to do is change the adjustment screw (it says how to do it in the owners manual), so maybe you could make it work if you can't find the smaller one.

Hi Michael, If your Kitchenaide is a 5 qt it should fit it. I know it mentions the tilt head but I researched and found where it supposed to fit the 5 qt lift also. Hope this info helps.

I use it around the flower beds. It is nice and light and you can tilt the head however you need it. It isn't a trencher, but it is very effective in my yard.

I have the 5.5 quart wide bowl lift model, and it is a little snug. I would think it might be worth the buy. I love mine and no more scraping the bowl!!! I have used it for eight months now and no issues. Hope that helps.

If you click on the picture, Amazon takes you to the page for the LIFT stand mixer, and you have to select 5 or 6 quart. This will NOT fit a TILT stand mixer. I tried to search what I assume was the model of your mixer, but couldn't figure it out.if you have the tilt head model, this is the link New Metro Design Beater Blade Pro Food Service and Restaurant Use KitchenAid 5-Quart Tilt Head Models - Yellow with Grey Blades

They are both 325 watt 10 speed 5 gal tilt heads. Copper finish seems to always run more. More of availability issue as it isn't solid copper. Glass bowls just came out last year but I resisted. Amazon is always out of the copper finish.The current price is about $200 over what I paid in '05. I have lots of French copper in my kitchen but also have a black 6 qt KA pro which my chef husband wanted. However it is a lift head. Buy what you love they last forever.

It tilts either way, but don't buy it. I found it to be of very shoddy materials. It is also unstable and prone to fall over easily.

I vote the tilt head. I have had mine for many years and have used the fixed head model at others' houses and was frankly surprised how little I liked it. I found placing the bowl very difficult on the fixed model and I also don't like having to remove the mixer element to remove the bowl and get access to the bowl for scraping.
