KitchenAid Scraper Beater Blade
927672
I can't believe I used my KitchenAid mixer for 20 years without this blade!  It virtually scrapes the sides and bottom (including that little "bump") as it goes. The only problem I've found is that it squeeks when it first starts, but once the blade gets wet enough, it loosens a little and quits.

Wow- this thing works superbly well. I was hesitant about buying this blade for a long time since I didn't think the rubber flaps would be strong enough to scrape tougher cookie doughs up, but I was pleasantly surprised. As soon as the item arrived, I put it to work making alfajores cookie dough and the blade worked like a dream. There were a few other models I considered, including the kitchen aid and gap-tooth versions of this style of beater. Many mentioned the kitchen aid didn't perform perfectly well and the gap-tooth model made by another company was harder to clean. This blade scraped the bottom of my metal bowl cleanly- no gaps- and was a breeze to clean. My only advice is to make sure you order the right beater blade- I looked under my (older) KA mixer to obtain the number that determined the blade style.

They are the exact beaters that I needed to fit this old mixer... I bought this at a garage sale and wasn't certain I'd be able to find them.

I bought this to make Royal Icing with.  For those of you who are unfamiliar, royal icing is used to make edible flowers and decorations for baked goods.  It's also used to construct gingerbread houses and the like.  It has to be beaten for about ten minutes while your mixer is covered with a wet towel to keep the stuff from drying out.  This beater blade scrapes the sides well and mixes the ingredients together without needing my intervention with a spatula.  I have a Professional 5 lift mixer which was only produced for a short period of time.  Therefore, I went to the company's web site to make sure I was purchasing the correct beater blade to fit my mixer and bowl.  I can't speak to its expected longevity, it is lightweight and plastic so who knows?  I've been using it for about two months (heavily) and no problems so far.  My only complaint, and it's slight, is that the blade is a little hard to clean because the icing gets into the space between the red and white parts and hides there.  I hand wash the blade since I rarely have time to wait for it to run through the dishwasher.

I love this blade.  I've only used it for 2 weeks, but I use it daily.  I think it works great - I don't need to scrape the sides anymore.  Works perfect with my 6qt KitchenAid bowl.  Can't speak for longevity, but so far, I love it!  Haven't used my original one since I got it.

I'm glad that someone was smart enough to put some scraping blades on these mixing attachments, now they just have to learn to write better descriptions. After I received mine from Amazon, I discovered that it DID NOT FIT my Kitchenaid lift stand mixer as claimed in the description: "Fits all KitchenAid 6 quart & lift mixers regardless of KitchenAid model number". <---that is a lie. The title is also a lie, because I have a 5.5qt mixer, and this blade is too big for it. See title: "New Metro Design Beater Blade for KitchenAid 6-Quart & 5-Plus Mixers." I'm disappointed that I was lied to.

We love this Blade for the Kitchen Aid and have used it a lot already. I love the way it scrapes the bowl. Before we got this we would have to stop the beaters and push down the cookie dough. Works great!

Do not expect the porcelin covered metal blade that came with your KitchenAide mixer.  Although I like the edges of this blade I am disappointed in the light weight construction.  I can not see this working well with cookie or bread dough.  Time will tell how it holds up.

I bought this because the color matches my blue Ultra Power 4.5 quart mixer, but I use it because the blade is specially shaped for use in the bowls of Kitchenaid mixers.  It makes scraping down the sides or getting out the last drop of batter (except around the bump in the middle) very easy.

As the cook/baker/chief mess-maker in the house I am the one who uses the Kitchenaid stand mixer 99% of the time (in fact, it was a father's day gift to me).  If you're reading this review you know how great it is to have a stand mixer; you also know that the bowl needs to be scraped from time to time to ensure all the ingredients get mixed in, especially near the bump at the bottom of the mixing bowl.

I wanted to get another beater blade for my stand mixer, as I'm not really a "clean as you go" guy (much to my wife's chagrin).  I'd rather let the dishwasher do all the work.  Instead of going for another Kitchenaid beater I thought I'd try this...I also like kitchen gadgets too.

This blade is great.  It mixes the ingredient very well, better than the stock blade, and it mixes in all the stuff that used to accumulate at the bottom of the bowl.  It moves smoothly around the bowl, no rocking or bumping.

Will it free you from bowl scraping?  Unfortunately not, though you'll have to scrape much less often.  I've found that I'll have to scrape ingredients that got stuck to the center shaft (like butter) or that got pushed up the side of the bowl, higher than the blade reaches (like flour).  The good news is I only have to scrape those areas once...a big improvement over the amount of scraping I did before.

If you've got a stand mixer this blade is a valuable accessory.  It's dishwasher-safe too, which fits in great with my method of "dirty every utensil and bowl then stuff them in the dishwasher".

This blade shaves prep minutes off my baking times, and I regret waiting to purchase it. I was a bit dubious of the design being capable of doing all that it claimed to be able to, but the only thing I've used my original blade for since buying this one is shredding chicken. Everything else needs to be scraped off the sides of the bowl and this blade does that while mixing. I used to use a spoonula to mix brownie batter because it was easier to scrape as I stirred and prevent the over-mixing that would happen if I had a delicate mixture in the bowl of a machine and continuously stopped it to scrape the edges. I love owning this, and my vegetable purees are better and easier now, too!

I have purchased multiple of these beater blades. They are sturdy in quality and easy to clean. I definitely prefer these over the metal attachments that came with my mixers. I highly recommend this beater blade.

This is exactly what I wanted for my KitchenAid mixer, a beater that would scrape the side of the bowl for me as it mixes. Right on.

great fit to replace the wire whip in my older model kitchenaid mixer as advertised.  Time will tell how it holds up, though

I have always been frustrated by the original beater blade that left some ingredients on the side of the pan so you have to stop the beater and scrape it by hand to get all the ingredients in to where the blade could mix them. No more of that.

I wasn't aware that the beater was made of plastic when I purchased this.  In general I try to stay away from plastic and if I had known I wouldn't have purchased this beater.  That being said, it works as stated.  I've made a few different batches of cookies with it and it scraped the bowl perfectly.  All the batter was mixed much better than just with the regular blade.  If it was made of metal like the original one, it would get 5 stars.

My old blade was about 5 years old and starting to see cracks, so I ordered its replacement part.  It arrived very well-packaged (so I didn't cut myself!) and after a run through the dishwasher, I put it to work.  It's exactly the replacement part I needed for my countertop food processor-- it's cheaper to buy a new chopping blade than a whole new processor!
