Do the mixers use just one beater?
1970016
yes they use just one beater, but with the rotation of the mixer it blends very well and you don't have to run it at a very high speed like other 2 beater machines. We love ours and even gave one to our daughter. Just follow the book and you'll do fine.

M.Wallace, there are a number of beater's that are for this mixer - i.e. General mixing, whisk type, one for bread, etc. and probably more are available. I'd check with KitchenAid.com to view all that's available. This is a great mixer!

They use just one at a time. The mixer was for my daughter, here's her response: It came with 3 different shapes. One was the batter/frosting one that is anchor shaped ( that's the one I use exclusively). There was also a bread hook. I think the third was your traditional egg beater shape. It came with one of each, but I learned early that the material that mine were made out of is not dishwasher safe. Black stuff rubs off of them permanently if you dishwasher it. (Mom's comment, KitchenAid makes ones that are dishwasher safe.) There are knockoff attachments made out of other products. I have anchor one in plastic. It's not a perfect fit, but it works and is the only one I use. They use just one at a time. The mixer was for my daughter, here's her response: It came with 3 different shapes.

It comes with a whisk, dough hook and a paddle attachments. Easily interchangeable.

Sorry, but no. You really have to check the tips of the beaters that enter the mixer. There are a couple diff. kinds.

no only the yellow mixers do. there's three options on the button: off, constant mix and mix when the top yellow button is pressed. plus the whole pink mixer comes out of the stand and can be used to "mix" in any bowl. and the bowl comes out of the blue stand as well.

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.

Absolutely yes. I make all kinds of one-serving recipe, including drinks, slushies", smoothies, etc. I love my machine. Hope you do too.

Yes this has a collar on one beater. The kitchenAid service phone number is 1(800)541-6390. They are great for assisting you. I find that ordering just what I want off Amazon is so much quicker and cheaper.

I have read yes there is, but think before you buy this mixer. I've used mine three times and I am so sorry I bought this mixer. I had the same kind for nearly 20 years and it worked great. Finally developed electrical problems. Didn't want to invest an arm and leg in real expensive types so bought this again. All plastic and vibrates nearly off the counter as of the last time I used it! Not happy!

No you need to do that separately but if you have a kitchen aid mixing machine use that or mix by hand

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.

Yes, it did for me. The beater is also interchangeable, so I could use 1 of the beaters out of my electric mixer to use on this one if I didn't have time to wash the dirty one. Thanks!

I am not sure why anybody would want to get replacement beaters for this. This is the worst mixer I have ever owned!!! This thing throws food everywhere! Wear eye protection!

when looking at the holes for the beaters on the mixer, the right side has a diagram showing that the male beater (the one with an extra "ring" near the base of the beater) goes on the right side. The one with no "ring" goes on the left side. Also, push firmly until you hear a "click". that should do the trick. If you mix them up, then they will slide right out. Also, dont push the top button near the on switch...that pops out the beaters when done. hope that helps!!!

No, each size mixer has its own bowl. They are not interchangeable, they are a little wider as you go up in size.

You will have option in windows mixer configuration to select which one to use, but only one can be used.

The beaters together weigh 2.3oz. The mixer body alone is 2.19lbs without the beaters; a bit heavier than some mixers. The quality is well worth the marginal extra weight.

I have the same mixer but haven't had that problem. I would see if you can have Oster replace the beaters under warranty.

No, it only has the one blade. Really, it's the only one needed. It purees any fruit or vegetables that's been cooked to a soft consistency .it is not for mashing .
