Round wire beaters? Where are the flat blade beaters that normally come with hand mixers? KitchenAid provides beaters made from round wires whereas typical beaters such as provided by Proctor Silex Mixers have flat blades. KitchenAid beaters do not cut through clumps of dry powder or pieces of brown sugar because they have a round profile. Sure, they move things around to "mix" them, but they do not break up material to "blend" the material. Where can I buy flat blade beaters for this KitchenAid hand mixer? Round wire beaters?

I have a Technique hand mixer with the exact same problem. I got it as a gift from my mom and she was so pleased with what they said on QVC about it, but it, also, has the round wire beaters and I have the same problem you describe--it won't break up clumps. I hate the wire beaters and am having no success finding other beaters for it. If you have solved your problem by finding flat blade blades, would you email me since I don't usually check these sites. I sure would appreciate it. barbvanslyck@gmail.com

I love mynKitchenaid Pro-600. Hated the hand mixer, just because of those stupid wire beaters....I am going to look for a vintage Sunbeam with thenflat beaters. I bought a Cucina Roma Hand mixer becauseit had flat beaters...its a piece of Chinese Junk

BELIEVE ME, THESE ARE "BETTER THAN" ANY "FLAT BEATER"! Besides that; Kitchen Aid doesn't make "Flat beaters" for their hand mixers.

I use the Flex edge all the time and it is great at keeping all the batter in the bowl and it pushes it to the center, where it can get incorporated into the mix. I hope this helps, I love this little beater. I use it much more often that the regular beater, and I even use it on thicker mixes and it works just as well.

Other than the edging, the chopper attachment is all stainless. The whip is stainless; the whip snaps into a plastic piece that attaches to the handle that contains the motor. Whole thing comes apart very easily and all but the motor can be placed in the dishwasher. the mixing bowl has a secure lid that also fits on the bottom of the mixing bowl. Because it is rubber, it keeps the bowl form moving while you mix.

My daughter in law has the 6 quart professional mixer and she was not happy with the beater blade she had as it did not clean the sides of the bowl well I sent her a sideswipe beater and she loves it, no poblems at all

I don't know. But I can tell you that we use mixers in a lab setting and this one is the favorite. It scrapes the sides very well.

Yes, they do probably due to poor technology or bad quality control (may mixer was made in China). After a bit over 2 years of daily use, my chef's whisk stem stem rusted just below the wings that keep it in the mixer.

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

The glass bowl, and 3 beaters (one for whipping, one for batter mixing and one for mixing bread that looks like a hook). If you check the current rebates from the kitchenaid site you might be eligible to print them from there and redeem them as well. I bought from amazon but printed the rebate from kitchenaid and a few months later I got another glass bowl with a lid for FREE. Pretty sweet deal and the color is gorgeous!

yes they use just one beater, but with the rotation of the mixer it blends very well and you don't have to run it at a very high speed like other 2 beater machines. We love ours and even gave one to our daughter. Just follow the book and you'll do fine.

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

Yes and there are 2 sets of beaters. All of these are consrtucted like the real thing. If it comes apart in real life it comes apart in the toys , the only exception is the blade portion of the blender it is all one piece. My grand daughter loves these toys still working well since last Christmas.

From the 2014 Stand Mixer reviews. http://mixer-review.toptenreviews.com/kitchenaid-artisan-review.html "There are no plastic pieces used in the construction of these stand mixers, so it's extremely rare for anything in these machines to break. A lesser device might use plastic gears inside the mixer's motor, but KitchenAid doesn't hide any plastic behind a metal façade - what you see is what you get. That's why they consistently last such an incredibly long time."

I think the beater blade works great. It doesn't completely clean the bowl every single time, you do have to scrape from time to time, but not nearly as much as I used to have to scrape the bowl with my KA mixer. With the KA mixer I really needed a third party beater blade. With this one, I have not felt the need. I haven't had to scrape nearly as much with this one. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this mixer. I use it every single day sometimes twice a day. Awesome!

Yes they are stainless steel beaters & whisk. Not sure on exactly the weight on mixer but it's not that heavy. The motor is no louder than most other mixers I have ever used. Its a nicemixer and gets the job done. Been very happy with this purchase.

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.

Just regular mixer beaters.The only thing I don't like about this mixer is that the slow speed is still quite fast.

LOL omg why is that even important? So okay, I went to the storeroom and got out the measuring tape, went to the kitchen and got out the mixer, opened it up, pulled out the beaters and measured them and then installed them and took an overall measurement. Boy this information had better be critical to you for some strange reason. So - the regular beaters are 7.5", the spirals are 7.0 and installed with mixers 11.5 installed with spirals 11.0. You've just GOT to tell me why this makes any difference whatsoever.
