tilt head or not? Which is better?

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.

No it is not. It is better than the tilt one. That tilt one the bowl breaks free when you use to knead dough. If you see the arm that holds the bowl it is the better more $$$$ non tilt one. This one has a lever that lowers and raises the bowl. Iv e had both and this one is worth the extra money.

I have mind on a rotating "lazy susan" type stand to turn if necessary. However, only time I turn it is when I'm dusting. The only "tilt" is ability to adjust the screen up or down. Mine is in bedroom and aimed/adjusted to watching from bed, so doesn't have to be moved. Hope this was helpful.

Yes, tilts both ways. Actually I was very pleased with this product (I was expecting less). My wife and I both had different surgeries a few weeks apart, and were able to use it in bed, from either side. It raises up pretty high too, and goes low so it can be used at a chair as well.

Edit: Sorry, I bought this unit for an employee - it's not the one I have. I don't know if it tilts.

The best advice is to try both. I've always had better results facing back. You save a lot of space by facing it up. Either way the box has been great for us.

My bowl is just like that if yours is the pro where the head moves up and down. Not for a tilt head

Matter of preference. Experiment and find your comfort zone. Personally, when on my side, my head is on the edge of pillow... not in the hole.

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

I think the bowl base of all the tilt-head models are the same size regardless of the bowl capacity. Just make sure you buy from an Amazon fulfilled seller so you can return it for free if you have problems.

Yes, it does tilt, by about 10^ or so (estimated). As others have noted, it be nice if it tilted just a little more in many applications. There are four screws accessible from the back to loosen the rotation, and it tilts on pins. Tighten the hell out of those screws before replacing, or it will 'droop' unintentionally. I have rough enough roads that I ultimately put a drop of glue into the swivel after getting the aim right.

For the same price, TI is a no-brainer. If it costs more, it's only useful for bow hunting, but if you do that it seems VERY useful. Just understand the limitations. Over 100 yards the tilt calculation doesn't exist, so it's really only useful for bow hunting from a stand.

Just tilt. I bought an extension handle which helps, but I need to tighten it often.

Yes, it tilts. It has a snapping mechanism and holds it's place well once it's in position. Since this is the case, it's easier to move it with two hands.

It has a flat base so yes. You just won't be able to tilt it too much if at all. While the head has a bit of weight to it, it's not enough to counteract the force exerted on it by the camera body.

I don't have room to tilt it down that much so I don't know. I bought mine for the length of the arm and since it is level with the eye so all tilts are fine , although minimum for me.. sorry.

There is some adjustment on the item. I have mine mounted vertically to a portion of my dashboard. The head does have some ability to tilt. When you position the face of the mount, it stays in place nicely.
