Can you add more accessories, like paddles, to this mixer, or would that damage it?

I don't know if there are more accessories available or not but this is a basic lightweight mixer, even the dough hooks that come with it are pretty much a joke and I would never try to mix bread dough with this mixer. It is find for everyday simple mixing tasks.

I only use the 2 sets provided so I am not sure. Do not not like the eject button, diffficult to press and releases only one beater smoothly, the other you have to pull out.

Good question, and I wish Kitchenaid would respond!I looked on the bottom of the mixing bowl, for its capacity and then backtracked to arrive at what I figured was our model. Ordered that accessory and, luckily, it was correct; if it had not been, the accessories would have been sent back, etc.

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!

Very easy. Hold on to the mixing blades with a dish cloth or something to protect your hands and simply unscrew the rubber gear (may have to use pliers, but i was able to do it by hand). At that point you can screw on the new one.

Yes.I thought of doing it several time. However the sides and back are slightly exposed to the elements. Would be helpful to find or build a carrying case that would fit the mixer. Also my pa is already 4 or so years old May have changed the design,but I don't think so.

I don't think so. This is a much bigger mixer and attachments are completely different.

to be honest, you have to call or chat with kitchen aid personnel and give them your particular model and they will give you all the accessories that you can use. I made a list of what I want then asked it to the chat associate.

Mixer was purchased as a gift and is not in my possession. Unable to answer the question.

Can't say for sure, and I no longer have a big mixer, or I'd check it out for you. Since the caddy you have doesn't work, this one would certainly be worth a try.

This mixer requires a specialized power connector. It should have been included in the original shipment. Not sure why Amazon is passing this off to a customer to answer. They need to provide a complete package.

It must be defective. We didn't have any problem attaching it to our mixer. You should exchange it.

This mixer came with a 'kitchenAid' bag for the accessories. It's nice and sturdy. It has 3 separated pockets inside which I just realized today. �. Bag is big enough to fit the given attachments perfectly.

SKB Makes a plate that fits into the top slant space that will take care of the small mixers. Amazon sells this item.

On my older 3000 the mixer can be removed. However I could not find a decent carrying case and came to the conclusion it was easier to leave the Mixer attached to the clam shell or as designed. I noticed there is now a newer version of the 3000. I imagine you can remover the mixer but I would not carry it without a good carrying case to protect it from bumps and the weather.

The flat beater that's included is the paddle attachment -- unless I'm misunderstanding your question!?
