How do you get the bowl to stay in place? I went from a bowl-lift stand mixer to this one and the bowl flew off when I started to mix it. HELP!

I believe it secures with a small turn/rotation. One direction secures the bowl and the other releases it. It's basically a thread but only rotates about 5 degrees.

It should have notches at the bottom of the bowl, they twist into place at the base.

There is a nob on the bowl that fits into the stand & when all else fails,read instructions.

Hello Cindy,The bowl locks into the base by giving it a quarter clockwise turn.

Sit the bowl on the platform and turn it to the left and it locks in place. You were kidding with this question weren't you?

I had stainless also and the thing wouldn't stick at all, maybe if you had a larger bowl? That might help. Or a larger bowl that was ceramic?Basically I think the thing is worthless, maybe if you stuck it on with super glue--Nah, buy something else that makes more sense.

I am glad those who have answered aren't having this problem, but I really am only interested in resolving my problem and hearing from anyone who has the same issue only, not that some people don't have this issue, that doesn't help at all. I have researched other websites and find there are many others who also have this problem, has something to do with internal plastic. Guess it's time to move onto a new mixer.

Make sure you have all the mechanisms locked into place. The bowl must be locked in as well as the lid. If you think you have correctly addressed this problem, refer to customer service for further assistance.

When I received the first one that I ordered here the box specifically stated that it was for the mixer with the head that did not tilt as mine does. I ordered the replacement for my mixer (with the tilting head) and, as others have stated, it does not fit well at all. It actually seams like I need a different size bowl. We do not use the mixer enough to have us look for another size bowl so we just put it off to the size and do not use it. My advice would be that regardless of the type of mixer do not waste your money. It fits so loosely that you almost need a hand to hold the cover while you are mixing. Hope this helps.

I have the same mixer & love this bowl. The handle is so convenient for taking it off the mixer & pouring the contents into a pan. Suggestion-get the extra cover that you can add ingredients while the mixer is going. Works great. And plastic storage lid (not sure if this came with the bowl). Enjoy.

My wife has only used her's one time so far. But it seemed to mix up everything very well. Just saw a mixer attatchment that has like rubber spoon edges on the mixer. That might even be better. Good luck!

I Tried to stick the bowl on different flat surfaces, it just doesn't adhere at all. I even wet the ring on some attempts. Nice bowl just don't depend on it sticking to any surface. Tom F

I have taken it all apart. That is the only way I could get it clean. I am a bit disappointed with the mixer as a whole. I hope you enjoy yours!

I have the same problem. The slow speed it way too fast for a cake mix, and normally a "middle" speed is what you use for that. This one can NEVER blend dry ingredients and is way too fast for wet ingredients. When it starts on low speed, the liquids are thrown to the edge of the bowl and whirl around like a tornado! The ingredients hardly touch the beaters because the ingredients are moving way too fast at the outer edges of the bowl.

The bowl does not turn at all. The action of the mixer is that the beater is not straight down, it makes a rotation inside the bowl.

I don't know. Sorry. I know that when I use the beater that comes with it, I have to hold the bowl in place while it beats. It doesn't fit my professional mixer as it comes off the hooks when I use it. I am thinking that bread dough would be tough for holding the bowl into place, but I am just guessing.

Mine had a pin with a spring and ate holding it in. Almost like how a kitchenaid mixer you add beaters. Push up against the ring with the blade and turn to the notch. Comes off. Look up attach beater to kitchenaid on YouTube. Same concept but much smaller lol.

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

I think it does move around. I still own it but it's starting to split. However, you may use the tip people use with mixers bowls. Try seeing if laying down a slightly damp dish towel under the board and see if this stops it from sliding while you are working.

Hi Maa, My advice would be that you check your warranty. I think you will find that it's not very lengthy. Just make certain if you have a tilt head mixer you get the same in the beater and the same for the lift bowl mixer. That said, I've used mine countless times without any problem. Enjoy the convenience of not having to continuously scrape down the bowl.

To be honest I haven't even noticed. I have always balanced my mixer on the bowl edge so any of the mixture on the beaters will fall back into the bowl. I love this mixer - great power, convenient storage, and a good weight. Definitely recommend!
