tilt head vs bowl lift Which is better, the tilt head or the bowl lift? And why do you prefer the one you chose?

I am a fan of the bowl lift and I personally prefer this option over the tilt. I like being able to drop the bowl down for scraping the sides while mixing or adding ingredients and I like the fact that the beaters are not lifted up at an angle in the air with all the wet ingredients; there is more potential for flinging dough out of the bowl and I just think it is more awkward period.

My husband bought me the bowl lift because I wanted to have the water/ice jacket. Turns out I have never gotten around to using the jacket, but I detest the bowl lift and wish I had gotten an artisan instead. It's real messy to remove the bowl or beater and you lose batter in the process. With my old tilt-head sunbeam, I used to lift the beaters just above the batter and turn it on low so that centrifugal force would send most of the dough off the beaters back into the bowl. Can't do that with a bowl-lift.

Unfortunately...no, it does not tilt. It fits in 2 slots on either side of the bowl and does not move...I hope this is helpful!

For your heavier lifts, consider the Prolifter. Also sold here on Amazon. PotLifter Pro Version 350-Pound Gardening Heavy Lifting Tool

Hmm. In my case I needed the width as well as the elevation so it was not an issue. Just left one of the best High Power training classes in the US and they are not concerned with head tilt. Additionally, the pads can be cut. So the cheek side could be left off and just do the non-cheek side and top for pad stability. It would take some experimentation, but doable in my humble opinion. Wishing you all X's.

I have the tilt head and bought my sister a lift one without realizing it. After baking at her house, I regret it. The bowl is VERY DIFFICULT to attach and detatch, and you need to detatch it in order to get to the stuff in the bowl since you can't tilt the head out of the way. The tilt head has a simple twist to get off the bowl. The lift head doesn't lift enough for you to mix the ingredients that went up on the sides back in or really do anything. I hear the lift is more powerful. If you're just making meringues and cookies, I'd definitely stick with the tilt head.

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.

it does not tilt back. it raises and lowers. this way it eliminates a weak spot especially when kneading dough you don't want the head bouncing up and down. you need something strong and steady. The bowl sits on two spikes and has a slip over spring clip that is on the machine frame. very strong spring clip. nothing about these units are weak. built like a tank.

This cover fits the tilt-head models. I don't think it will fit the Pro series with the bowl-lift. It fits my Artisan mixer (tilt-head) very snugly & I don't think there is room to accommodate a larger mixer. Keep looking on Amazon, because there is a larger cover that appears (by description) to fit the Professional series.

I just bought the 632. Being able to tilt it back so that the slices fall easier seems to be a real plus.

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.

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

I think the lift wand works better. But unfortunately the mechanism is not good and does not hold the attachments properly and they break easily. It is made very poorly. If it was constructed better it would be great. So I cannot recommended it. The derma wand works a little differently and there are no attachments it does an ok job. I hope this helps you.

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.

Not sure, whatever you purchase probably needs minor Adjustment with the screw under the tilt head to make it scrape the bowl properly. (directions included). Mine is Artisan KSM150PS0B 5 qt tilt head and works great. The neck or shaft is 1.25 inches long and yours must be very close I would say within 1/4 inch to work. I have 3 Addt'l similar attachments that are 1.25 to 1.50 inches long at shaft & work. Unfortunately I have purchased 1 other similar in the past that were supposed to fit my model & does not, It is a Scrape-A-Bowl by Pourfect (red in color)

The Plate moves up and down. One side is up while the other foot is down the pivot point is in the middle. The further from the center the more the motion is. The lift is less than an inch when it is moving up or down. I like it. It does help me feel better. I use it after a horse ride so I don't get that saddle sore.
