My Kitchenaid hand mixer has a problem keeping the beaters attached. Has anyone else had this problem?

I had the same problem when I had the beaters in the wrong openings. The beaters are slightly different and must be placed in their matching openings. There is a raised picture on the mixer showing the differences between the two and where each distinctive beater is to be placed.

If anything, I have difficulty removing them. Once they snap/click into place, they're in there really tightly. Make sure you push them in well. When I first got mine I thought I had them in all the way, but didn't, and they fell out. You'll feel them click into place.

I've never had that problem (over 3 years since I purchased it), although my blades did break, and needed replacing, after about a year.

I had the same problem....theyre 2 different kinds of ends. So they have to be placed in the correct hole or they continue to fall out....not a very good diagram on the bottom of the mixer itself, but it is there....hope this helps

Mines fit just fine; I only paid $5 for the mixer at a yard sale and $18 or so for beaters

Andy, I would recommend sending an email to customer support at KitchenAid or calling customer support and getting a response directly from them to be sure.

I've had this problem but only in a small ammount. I dusted it with flour and worked the stickey dough off the bowl that way. On a bigger scale it could work too.

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.

I have used an immersion handheld mixer with no scratching that I noticed, but I'm pretty sure a regular beater mixer would leave some utensil markings.

Mine does the same thing, makes a loud clicking noise when mixing bread or thick cookie dough. Kitchenaid's response was: "The clicking noise is normal, especially under a heavy load." so it is a known problem. Personally, I would call this a design defect. No other motorized appliance I have ever used made noises unless it was broken. I may opt for a smaller model or a different brand.

The mixer sits on top of a case that holds the beaters and the cord. It snaps together snugly. I'm more than happy with it.

I have not had any problems with metal flaking off on the beaters/hooks thus far. I have only owned mine for less than a year so so far so good-

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 mixer is supposed to snap onto the storage container, however mine does not want to snap on. I will fiddle with it a bit more to see if I can get it to snap on and stay on.

I have had mine since 12/13, but it recently stopped latching. Customer Service has been helpful, but it will take 5-7 weeks to repair. Not happy about that aspect. I did complain about the return shipping and they issued a Call Tag, but cannot tell me if they can repair or if there will be any charge. That concerns me. Since I use my mixer several times a week, I may just get a cheap back-up for down-time.

I've not had any trouble with stuff spilling out of them while mixing - The sides are very steep which I think helps keep everything in the bowl, unless you just completely overfill them. I've used whisks and a hand mixer in the largest bowl and it's worked well.

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.

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.

Agree, I am also facing same issue. every customer who bought the butterfly mixer is facing same issue. Why don't they come with solution and every one is suggesting to go for different brand like preethi mixer,etc....

I didn't keep this one, but I believe I can help: Lift the body of the mixer. I don't remember this one having anything to hold the bowl in, so at that point you should be able to just lift it out. If it IS held in place, I'd try turning the bowl counter-clockwise.
