Will the flat 3 blade beater whip mashed potatoes or do I need the whisk?

I think the flat 3 blade beater would be better. The whip is for lighter batters or mixes.

The flat 3 blade beater will whip mashed potatoes,but they will still be lumpy. Better to get whisk, that is my suguestion.

The beaters that come with the 9 speed are a lot more similar to the flat beaters than the 5 speed. They are heavier gauge. Also the speed is better, so you shouldn't have any trouble at all with your mashed potatoes.

The cookie paddles and metal whip drive are typically an extra accessory for the Universal Plus machine. The machine comes with a metal arm attachment that is ideal for bread dough, pizza dough, and other thick batters as well as light weight wire whisks that can be used to whip cream, cream soft butter, etc. While some say that this is all you need, I find that when baking sweets (cookies, cakes, etc.) the cookie paddles are my go to tool. They do a great job creaming butter and sugar together and blending flour into batters. Because the cookie paddles are heavier and typically used for thicker batters, they require a different metal whip drive. If you found the machine with these extras for the same price I would definitely opt for it WITH the cookie paddles and metal whip drive. This is a great machine... I've used many different heavy duty mixers over the years and this one is by far the best of the best. Good luck!

It came with only one blade, but does an excellent job of pureeing. I have not come across a whisk attachment, but perhaps others have?

It comes with three blades, a multi-purpose blade as well as a whisking blade and a beater blade. I only use the multi-purpose one; it will do anything it needs to do. None of them will mix powders with any degree of seriousness, but that's probably not a common usage. (My smoothies start out with a number of different powders that dissolve better if the powders are mixed together first; otherwise, the individual powders clump together.) There's a wall attachment that I haven't used either.

I have a KHM3WH5. If I understand correctly, the KHM3 is the type of mixer, and WH2/WH5 are finishes. So I would think that yes, those beaters will fit.

NO, you will need a mixer, I recommend Kitchen aid Pro Line Series or the Professional 600

My mixer came with a beater blade, dough hook, wire whisk, and splash guard.

I haven't personally done it, but I believe so. I used it when I was in a hurry once and made mashed/whipped potatoes. It was actually faster than using the regular beaters.

I don't think I would ever use a whisk... and I use this thing for a lot of stuff. I make protein drink smoothies, even with ice, although I've heard that crushing ice may shorten the life of the blender. I make salad dressings and puree my husband's soups right in his soup mug. I've mashed potatoes with it, but I like my potatoes pretty stiff and it labored a bit with that job. It's not an all-purpose tool, it's great at what it does, but I still need a mixer. But... probably not a stand blender. I love it cuz I can zoom together my protein drink, whir it around in a mug with a little soapy water in it, run it under the faucet, and it goes back in the drawer.

I never used the whisk attachment. I used the beaters once and the bowl spins automatically. I was so disappointed in this mixer I donated it to a local charity for a rummage sale.

I am not sure about being model specific is as important as the size of the mixing bowl. The size of the bowl could determine how the attachment will preform. Example one for a 6 quart bowl used in a 4 quart bowl may hit the sides of the bowl. I also think this would be more important with the flat beater and wire wisk and not so important with the dough hook. I have not tried any other attachments personally but I have shopped for some, such as the flat beater with a rubber bowl scraper attached to one side and there are several depending on bowl size this also applies to the wire wisk and different ones available depending on bowl size.

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!

No, it does not come with a whisk attachment, but you can purchase one here: Cuisinart DLC-055TX-1 Food Processor Whisk Attachment

If you use the dough hook and don't put the speed too high, then it works fine for fruit cake with cherries. Don't be tempted to use the flat beater, because the space between the blade and the bowl is too tight and your cherries will get mashed.

Do I remove the flat beater first? YES, and then tap it off into the mix, like you were going to do anyhow later........
