Why are the beaters so hard to eject? Why is the button so HARD to push to extract the beaters?

The button to eject the beaters is very stiff at first, but will get easier to push with time.

I imagine it's because they've reinforced the beater retainers. This is the very reason I replaced my old mixer. The retainers would no longer hold onto the attachments. I do feel a bit more secure about these.

With use the button gets a little easier to push but I have no idea why they made it so difficult to eject the beaters. Otherwise the mixer does an excellent job, it has good speed and power and I love the self winding cord.

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.

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!

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please) It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

I have purchased 3 beaters for mine and this is the only one that fits. The others are to big. I love it even though it takes a little more umph to get it clean.

I am in the same dilemma...I took off the beater bar, but the motor shaft goes all the way to the other side, and there is no gap to take the belt on or off...help!

I don't know if you can by a new beater. Are you sure the beater needs replacement? Does it look damaged? If not, it probably doesn't need replacement. Here's what I have learned after months of use. The beater or whip must be properly aligned on the metal cone or it will not spin. I don't fill the cup above the top of the beater so I visually verify it is spinning when I start the machine. If it isn't spinning I gently reposition it on the cone and it always has worked. The other thing I have found is non-fat milk often won't froth. Whole or 2% is best.

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!

yes I agree, I had to push really hard to get it off- it seems like it is easier to do now after some time. However the problem with my machine continues -- they have replaced the basket but still the screw cakes up and puts out pulp in all my juices. it has never worked right

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.

Use needle nose pliers and pull out, I also used Phillips screw driver to push out from the back. They work great!

No mine was older than that....I did get the beaters. I had to send them back because they wouldn't work. I can try to answer a question on these beaters since I have seen them.

Not had the problem but be aware that the beaters will on this model will only go in one position out of the two slots available it shows this in the instructions one of the beaters has a collar on it. If you try them the other way around they will not engage properly. Best regards John

it is independently powered, a small belt turns the beater, so I guess there's a small engine somewhere. I'm not a whiz on this...it could be the suction turning the belt...sorry...

I usually don't get a bumping sound when my batter is thin. If I'm working with a stiff batter the machine doesn't bump and bang. My flex beater doesn't reach to the very bottomof the bowl and someone told me that I can adjust the depth of the beaters on themixer. I haven't attempted to do that but maybe your beater is reaching to far down into the bowl. If you use the regulare beater does that bump too?

Oh yes! the case is just about perfect - not only does the cord fit but also all the beater accessories. The unit sits on top and the front end locks in. The only drawback I found was when using the unit I hate having to ramp up with a sticky finger to get to the speed I want. Also the unit has no resting place to set it down and let the beaters hang in the pot. Nothing we cannot deal with , just a little inconvenient -otherwise a great replacement for what I had.

I'm wondering if you accidentally pressed the beater bar button, too when you turned the power off? They're right next to each other.
