I keep buying hand mixers and the second beater does not stay in. Does anyone know if they have this problem?

I have not had this problem with the KitchenAid. Just make sure that it snaps in before starting the mixer.

Not had the problem but be aware that the beaters will on this model will only go in one position out of the two slots available it shows this in the instructions one of the beaters has a collar on it. If you try them the other way around they will not engage properly. Best regards John

Don't have a problem. Just have to put it in correctly. If I recall it goes in a certain way.

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

Mine does the same thing, small load, clicking noise. I have only done very small loads like you, 3 1/4 cups flour for 1 loaf of bread, & it clicks every time. Very annoying when I have read reviews that some lucky customers have mixers that don't click. Kitchenaid Customer service says "normal under heavy load", so in my opinion, it's NOT normal under a light/small load. Still working with customer service to try to get a unit that doesn't click, the replacement they sent me was worse than the original. Very frustrating.

yes they use just one beater, but with the rotation of the mixer it blends very well and you don't have to run it at a very high speed like other 2 beater machines. We love ours and even gave one to our daughter. Just follow the book and you'll do fine.

I returned a Kitchenaid mixer because it vibrated badly. The two Cuisinart mixers I have had in the past two months along with five sets of beaters, all vibrated badly because the beater "fins" were misaligned with the shafts.

This is the information for the han mixer that we are using the beaters in now. Cuisinart 5 speed, hand mixer, 10=12 years old. #2HI8. Each beater has to match up to the receptacles to snap in tight. That is to say that if a beater is in the wrong receptacle it is not secure. This is the only info I can supply, hope it helps.

No they don't but that would be a gret idea. It's a great machine but I wish the beaters went down into the batter deeper, if you know what I mean! They don't go down very deep so you have to spatula the batter into the beaters....kind of a nuisance but for the price, I'll do it.

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

There is a way to adjust the height of the blade in the bowl. It sounds like you need to move the height of the beater up a tiny bit. See your instruction booklet.

I would see what model of mixer you have and then check what the beater size is for your model.

I made about 10 breads so far and beater never came off...however at one point I thought it was making more noise than usualand I think it was loose...I suggest that berfore you start made doubly sure that the beater is secured in place tightly.

I don't know if you can by a new beater. Are you sure the beater needs replacement? Does it look damaged? If not, it probably doesn't need replacement. Here's what I have learned after months of use. The beater or whip must be properly aligned on the metal cone or it will not spin. I don't fill the cup above the top of the beater so I visually verify it is spinning when I start the machine. If it isn't spinning I gently reposition it on the cone and it always has worked. The other thing I have found is non-fat milk often won't froth. Whole or 2% is best.

I have purchased two. I loved the one I had at home so much, I bought one for work. That's been almost a year. I haven't have any problems whatsoever. Maybe you just got a malfunctioning one. You should contact Kitchen Aid about it. For other KA products I've had for under a year, they have been great about replacing parts.

I have purchased 3 beaters for mine and this is the only one that fits. The others are to big. I love it even though it takes a little more umph to get it clean.

Oh yeah! I've probably made two dozen double batches of cookie dough - oatmeal raisin, and chocolate chip with tons of chips. Never had a problem with the beater, so I'd mix with confidence.

I am not sure why anybody would want to get replacement beaters for this. This is the worst mixer I have ever owned!!! This thing throws food everywhere! Wear eye protection!

Sorry my answer took so long. Every other hand mixer I have owned, the motor vent HAS been on the bottom side (so food and batter splatters up into it)- but this one vents out the FRONT and BACK of the mixer, much better I think!!! So far, I am very pleased with my choice!!!
