The glass bowl has a larger circumference. Do the attachments (paddle, etc.) work as well with the glass bowl? How about the flex-edge beater?

I've only used the beater with the glass bowl thus far, so I'm not sure how the other attachments would work, although I assume they would be fine. I actually think the glass bowl is a better shape than the metal one. Perhaps it is the large circumference, but I find that my liquid ingredients don't spit back at me like they do when I'm adding them to the metal bowl. I finally removed the metal bowl and now keep the glass bowl on the mixer all of the time. I, also, love that it has a cover and can remain dust free. I wish the mixer came with the glass bowl. I bought my daughter a mixer, and I'll probably be purchasing the glass bowl for her, too.

yes it works great the I do not know how the flex edge work because I do not have one but the other one works great

The glass bowl allows for more volume of air to go through the batters and egg whites to come to the most fluffy batters. The flex-beater is the best thing ever, make light of all mixing.

they all worked well. My only problem was that the glass cracked (for no apparent reason... didn't drop it or bang it).

Yes. Some models, like the one Costco is selling, come WITH the flex-edge beater....

my mixer is the KSM150PSER 5 qt bowl .. but i use the glass 3 qt bowl ... the glass is much thicker than the SS bowl .. so i put the shield in boiling hot water and stretched it to fit the glass bowl ... works great now .. Hope this helps .. Regards Gary

Fear of potential breakage is precisely why I bought this item. If your old bowl fit your mixer this 5 Qt. should too. The person I bought this bowl for has a KitchenAid tilt head mixer that is years old (???) and it fits right on her rig. Down side: I've been unable to find a KitchenAid "wipe" blade that wipes the 5 quart bowl. A New Metro Design (since broken) nylon blade did, but was lost in a tragic cookie dough accident. May try the SideSwipe offering in the future; if I can get measurements on it

I don't have any idea. We returned the Flex Edge Beater after one day. It did not work well enough for us to keep.

I don't have that model, but mine works well. Read the directions closely to avoid having the blade touching too close to the bottom of the bowl.

hard to say exactly the size of the bowl. I can make a standard size cake in it with no problem. It seems to be deeper than it is wide. I really like the two separate motors that spin the bowl the opposite direction from the beaters so that batter always gets mixed well. Hope that helps.

I did find one, But Not On Amazon!!I think its the "KitchenAid® 7 Quart Flex Edge Beater (Fits models KSM7990 and KSM7581)". I found it on Kitcheaid.com. I am assuming that KSM7581 is a basic model number for the 7" Pro Line as well as other models. Let me know if anyone find anything else.

The Hamilton beach site gives this link ( http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/food-processors-big-mouth-duo-plus-food-processor-70580.html#accessories ) for a duo's accessories and offers the small bowl for sale. The remaining question is will this bowl work on the this particular big mouth model. Comparing the bodies of the processors shows one has a keypad and one has a rotating switch, but the rest might be identical. Calling the company might provide good info

Yes, it works on glass bowls too. Just get the correct size that fits your bowl. The beater comes in two sizes.

I originally replaced the bowl first on my DCL plus as it was cracked. It did not fit as precisely as the original but was still functional. I ultimately ended up replacing the top because it also cracked. Together they fit perfectly. My bowl is 6.5 '' in diameter. I suggest replacing both, if you use it a lot you will be happier. The replacement bowl part is FP 631 ATX. Or try it it may work well for you.

I ordered the flex edge beater for 6 quart mixer from everything kitchens.com... I first got on the kitchen aide sight and looked for parts for that item number and it had the schematic I needed with correct part numbers... Hope that helps.

This whip did not fit my bowl. I do have a replacement bowl (original broke kneading bread dough), so there is the possibility the new bowl is smaller than the original.

I've gotten rid of my flex edge beater. It pushes stuff up towards the top of the bowl so you have to wipe down the bowl more, not less. When creaming butter and sugar you get a ring a couple inches below the rim of the bowl. If you're mixing anything more than a small amount of liquid things can splatter out. My pound cake recipe, for example, uses a dozen eggs. More than once I've gotten egg all over myself. I've never had this problem with the original beater. In my opinion, you should save your money and keep the original, tried and true coated paddle beater.

I bought this in Dec 2012 to use with an older Kitchenaid Proline Model KSM5. The beater was about 3/4 inch too short for the standard 5-qt stainless bowl. Also, the flex edge did not contact the side of the bowl with enough force to effectively remove any mixture. I returned the beater for a refund within a week so I don't have the dimensions. The size of the regular fixed beater which fits my bowl is 7 1/4" height X 5 3/8" maximum width.

I can not say for sure, however when i was looking it appears all the models with glass bowls are the same diameter. I would think it should fit since these seem to all be a standard size. I hope this helps

I'm extremely satisfied with the original KitchenAid flex edge. I used it today for a smooth pancake mix. The beater fits perfectly the bowl and leaves no lump. For thicker dough, the original beater is stronger and appropriate since we must beat until the dough does not stick the bowl.

Not sure, but could be the shape of the bowls. I would suggest you measure your current beater and compare those measurements to the side swipe measurements. I love mine.
