Do you have to readjust the mixer if you switch back and forth to a plain beater blade?

I'm not sure what you mean by adjust the mixer. But you can use either or both when mixing something. Sometimes I would start with the regular beater and then switch to the side swipe.

That's the beauty of the sideswipe it cleans the bowl where the original doe's not,But make sure that it's not rubbing to hard on the bowl bottom,If it is then you have to adjust the mixer height up a little. If you don't it will ruin the sideswipe fingers

I do not. If your bowl is adjusted for the metal blade, the silicone is flippy enough to run over the surface and clean. When they say "adjust the bowl" they are talking about getting the bowl positioned so that the blade is close to the bowl but does not rub. http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-adjust-the-bowl-height-139029

I haven't made any adjustments. My mixer works great! I use all the blades!

This would not even fit inside my 6 qt bowl. The plastic things kept jamming on the sides.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this question! I was trying to wait until I used the beater again, to check, but still haven't done so. Yes, I do think there is a bit more of a "bump" with this beater than I would have expected. There don't seem to be any particular ill-effects of the "bumping" so I guess it's okay. Still, yours may be "bumping" more than most. Maybe trying a replacement beater would be a good idea, since you don't feel quite right about the one you have.

To me it depends on what you are mixing. i like the original beater for some thing and the flex edge for others. For example if im mixing dry or adding powdered sugar in the mixer I perfer the original. The flex edge beater tends to make a mess if you are not careful and you end up with sugar all on your working surface.

Yes, I own a two beater model and I use it in the one slot for the primary beater(the beater with the metal piece). It works great. I love it.

Mine did the same thing when I first got it. You can adjust the height of the beaters. Lift the top up, like you're going to remove the bowl. There is a screw underneath where the top attaches to the stand. Use a screwdriver to adjust the beater. You turn it to the right to lower it. That fixed mine.

The handle on the bowl brakes to the left, JUST AS ILLUSTRATED. To tell you the truth, I can't see how it makes a difference as long as it fits the mixer, unless you have lost the use of one hand. In that case I'm sorry. I happen to be right-handed and have no problem mounting the bowl to my mixer in spite of the left leaning handle. Instead of worrying which way the handle leans, worry whether it fits you mixer.

I am not a KitchenAid Rep, you would have to contact KitchenAid regarding your warranty. I can assure you, the New Metro Design Beater Blade is by far the best for mixing dough, frosting etc. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I do not believe so, in fact this mixer just broke on me and I have not even had it for 1 year and something in the gears for the beaters just went out and they do not spin any more.

No. The gray thing on top is a handle that pops up to turn the mixer. The rest is just for looks.

To be honest I haven't even noticed. I have always balanced my mixer on the bowl edge so any of the mixture on the beaters will fall back into the bowl. I love this mixer - great power, convenient storage, and a good weight. Definitely recommend!

To tell you the truth I don't know which mixer it is. It is hinged at the base and lifts up form mixing bowl. The flat beater is identical to the one replaced. Hope this helps. Bob

I would see what model of mixer you have and then check what the beater size is for your model.

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.

Reduce the content of metal filings in your recipes? :)Your experience is the opposite of mine, but maybe one beater isn't setting right and it's being smacked about by the other... Make sure both beaters are in completely and don't turn much without the motor running.It should still be under warrantee, maybe this is a question for the manufacturer.

The beater rotates around in a circle, I guess meaning it has "planetary action." Also, it doesn't actually touch the bottom, so you will need to use a spoon to mix up the very bottom of the batter. And mine is holding up just fine!

I don't know. Sorry. I know that when I use the beater that comes with it, I have to hold the bowl in place while it beats. It doesn't fit my professional mixer as it comes off the hooks when I use it. I am thinking that bread dough would be tough for holding the bowl into place, but I am just guessing.

If the blade is flat you just flip the nut over that you loosened to get the old grinding wheel off. it should have a flat side.
