KitchenAid Flexible Edge Beater ref 5KFE5T, Fits J400, Scrapes Sides of Bowl While Mixing, AD579

Bought as additional Christmas gift for my wife haha had complained that that the original attachement on the magimix didn't always get the complet bowl mixed, this helps ensure all ingredients at captured and mixed through!!

I have a KitchenAid classic mixer and wanted the flex beater. I made the mistake of buying a cheaper one, and yes it did fit but didn’t scrape down the bowl as I hoped it would. So purchased this genuine flex beater and it does work, yes you still have to scrape down during mixing but that’s mainly to ensure the mix at the bottom is fully incorporated, but this does scrape the sides lovely when using. Worth every penny. Would recommend

Pricey but then it's a kitchenaid! Very happy with quality, was genuine product. Use all the time

This beater does a very good job, as with most the kitchen attachments, it is pretty much non stick so makes it really easy to clean.

I'd read some of the reviews regarding it smearing butter along and up the sides of the bowl which worried me. But bought it anyway because I saw the beater's flex edge could be used as a spatula to empty the contents of the mixing bowl. It arrived in an official Kitchenaid box with thickish booklet of instructions in English and different languages, so I think it's legit. I tested the beater with an empty bowl and noticed that it made a "knocking sound" even though it was installed properly. The original beater that came with mixer doesn't make that knocking sound. I eventually used it to mix cheesecake batter, and it did a good job. As there was no knocking when there was batter in the mixing bowl, I can only assume the knocking sound was due to the flex edge hitting the sides of the empty mixing bowl. Finally, it's no replacement for a good spatula when it comes to emptying the bowl unless you want batter all over your fingers. So overall my impression is mixed.

Excellent product for my kitchen aid

Excellent product! No more scraping down the bowl in between mixing. KitchenAid products really are great quality so you know the money you pay is well worth it. Would give it 10 stars in could!

A massive improvement on the original
