How do you get the bowl to stay in place? I went from a bowl-lift stand mixer to this one and the bowl flew off when I started to mix it. HELP!

I believe it secures with a small turn/rotation. One direction secures the bowl and the other releases it. It's basically a thread but only rotates about 5 degrees.

It should have notches at the bottom of the bowl, they twist into place at the base.

There is a nob on the bowl that fits into the stand & when all else fails,read instructions.

Hello Cindy,The bowl locks into the base by giving it a quarter clockwise turn.

Sit the bowl on the platform and turn it to the left and it locks in place. You were kidding with this question weren't you?

My suggestion would be to make sure the ring that screws on & off on the bottom of the bowl is put on properly, maybe that's causing some sort of issue with attaching it to your mixer. I've never had a problem with attaching mine to the mixer, however it doesn't lock as tight as the metal bowl, however, once it's locked into the mixer I have no problem with it. I think if you were making bread or something that requires the highest speed you'd need to keep an eye on it so that it doesn't come unlocked though. I love mine, good luck hope you get the issue resolved and my suggestions help.

How many quarts is the bowl,and if you measure the bowl opening and depth they should have one that works. Is your mixer a tilt or lift style? if it is a lift style remember that the height is adjustable so the the sideswipe doesn't rub on the bottom to hard resulting in beater failure

Make sure you have the disk/flange underneath the base seated correctly. Once it is seated you should be able to tighten it up and it won't move any more. From time to time we have to tighten ours up after a month or two of play. Hope this helps.

It is a bit tricky to get the bowl in place but it needs to clip/slide into the two mounting holes in the opening. If you look you will see them. Once you get the bowl position so that the clips can slide in it will work. It did for me.

Yes，I met the same problem，I have to change a bigger bowl or put it in a cup instead of bowl.

I've done various bread mixes and shredded veges, with no wobble at all. I am using the heavy glass bowl that came with it. Not sure if that helps. I LOVE my mixer!

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.

The bowl "snaps into" the feeder and doesn't move if it is. It is a bit of a hassle to get the bowl to snap in but give it a shot. If done correctly both the feeder and the tray can be picked up by just lifting the feeder.

The bowl stays still while it mixes. Just the hook or whatever you have attached does the moving.

The mixer is supposed to snap onto the storage container, however mine does not want to snap on. I will fiddle with it a bit more to see if I can get it to snap on and stay on.

I thought the same as well, but they do close, it's just tricky. You have to kind of keep your hand on one side of the bowl while closing the rest. Or press against yourself while closing at the same time, this may not make any sense, sorry! Hope you get it to close!

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily. Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.

The bowl does not turn at all. The action of the mixer is that the beater is not straight down, it makes a rotation inside the bowl.

I have the same problem. The slow speed it way too fast for a cake mix, and normally a "middle" speed is what you use for that. This one can NEVER blend dry ingredients and is way too fast for wet ingredients. When it starts on low speed, the liquids are thrown to the edge of the bowl and whirl around like a tornado! The ingredients hardly touch the beaters because the ingredients are moving way too fast at the outer edges of the bowl.

I have the tilt head and bought my sister a lift one without realizing it. After baking at her house, I regret it. The bowl is VERY DIFFICULT to attach and detatch, and you need to detatch it in order to get to the stuff in the bowl since you can't tilt the head out of the way. The tilt head has a simple twist to get off the bowl. The lift head doesn't lift enough for you to mix the ingredients that went up on the sides back in or really do anything. I hear the lift is more powerful. If you're just making meringues and cookies, I'd definitely stick with the tilt head.

I've not had to fuss with mine much at all. A couple tips? 1) the top goes 'on' in almost the lock position-the reach of my thumb is enough to ease it into the locked position. 2) this has a rubber-gasketed seal on the top, so if it gets too clean it will be hard to move into lock. A quick dab of flour or water or veg. oil and it moves very smoothly. 2 things I do like are that the blades click into place on the bowl so you don't have to contend with them falling out when you empty the bowl, and I think because of that and the gasket seal, you can process more liquids without making a mess..
