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?

I have the same mixer & love this bowl. The handle is so convenient for taking it off the mixer & pouring the contents into a pan. Suggestion-get the extra cover that you can add ingredients while the mixer is going. Works great. And plastic storage lid (not sure if this came with the bowl). Enjoy.

I threw the bowl away and bought a brand new mixer. It was frustrating that after paying so much money to get a replacement bowl, it would not fit the mixer stand.

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

This mixer is a standard hand held and cannot be rested on the bowl. I suggest you try to get a mixer with a base that holds the bowl in place while the mixer is running if that is important to you.

once you are through, turn the top and lift off. the tab that slips into the unit has to be turned clockwise to disengage the lid. if you are having trouble getting the bowl off the unit, it does take a firm hand to turn it. after a few times it does loosen up.

My bowl gets stuck sometimes. Usually a push in the opposite direction of release gets the bowl unstuck. I hear a snap and then the bowl comes out. In my case, I think it gets jammed because of the turning force during juicing. With the auger, Sometimes it is easy for me to take out and sometimes it's more difficult. It has always come out without a problem however. I don't know if it will help your issue but don't be afraid to put your back into it I guess. The machine has proven sturdy for me. Sincerely Erwin

I think it does move around. I still own it but it's starting to split. However, you may use the tip people use with mixers bowls. Try seeing if laying down a slightly damp dish towel under the board and see if this stops it from sliding while you are working.

With the previous version of this I had that same problem. I just put a good-sized piece of clear packing tape on the underside to hold the bowl against the feeder. Problem solved. :)

No..hmmm...I just twist and it's off. Don't drop it like I did cause if you break the plastic piece that locks it in to start it, you'll be ordering a new bowl like I had to..ugh

Hi, I am sorry I don't have an answer for you. I also bought the 5 qt glass bowl and mine doesn't lock in either. I use for other purposes now. I don't recommend this product at all. I really like my KitchenAid mixer and use it just about every day. I wanted the glass bowl for my meringue and I couldn't get a refund either. I am sorry I couldn't help you.

I have tried duct tape, gorilla tape, mounting tape, etc. My cats are too strong, I guess, and always managed to get the bowl out. Now I use a thin, oval headband (think giant rubberband) that goes all the way around the bowl and the feeder. I've used gorilla tape to keep it in place. Two weeks and so far the bowl has stayed attached, which is a record.

I just used mine today with the bowl lift mixer and it was absolutely awesome!

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.

We have not had any problems with it staying in place. Our dog is large,(standard poodle and sheperd mix),and a very enthusiastic eater, but the bowl stays in place when she eats.

Sorry to hear that. Mine doesn't move while blending but it does move slightly in the base. I have had a similar problem with a different brand and just holding it while blending helped. But if you are not satisfied give the help line at Oster a call. They were very helpful to me when I contacted them about my top shattered after I washed it, they sent a replacement in less than a week. Hope this helps. It really is a great blender and the company stands behind its products.

Make sure you have all the mechanisms locked into place. The bowl must be locked in as well as the lid. If you think you have correctly addressed this problem, refer to customer service for further assistance.
