Flex Edge Beater

The Kitchen Aid "flex edge flat beater" is an essential item in any kitchen that boasts having a Kitchen Aid standing mixer. If you cook a lot, your attachments are going to wear out much sooner than the powerful KA standing mixer itself. In fact, the standing mixers are made to last a lifetime, and, now that I think about it, mine is workhouse that has, so far, never failed after decades of use. The durable and well-made attachments, however, will ultimately wear down; and, it was a comfort to know that I was getting a real Kitchen Aid blade (this one is the one I use, btw, for cookie dough and things like that) and not a counterfeit version, when I needed a new KA flat beater. This leads to another point, and something to remember: always buy the same brand when you are looking for attachments to your electronic tools. It is no myth that a lesser piece will not perform the same way, and most likely it will be hard to use, and wear out even sooner, which makes your entire purchase a very poor investment. Put another way, if you are going to have the best mixer, make sure that you equip your device with the best parts made by the same maker. And this leads yet again to another point having to do with prolonging the life of your machinery and attachments: try not to put your pieces in the dishwasher, even if you are told they are dishwasher safe. Best to hand wash. Why? For one, the flex edge part of the flat beater is rubber--and dishwashers are brutally hot, which can erode the rubber not to mention the fact that dishwashing soap is very hard on everything. An aside, with some Kitchen Aid attachments, certain portions are made of an aluminum that can undergo aluminum oxidation after being exposed to harsh chemicals (i.e. heat, and dishwasher soap) or being left to soak for too long. With the latest and newer attachments, KA has been coating all of them and this problem has largely gone away, but aluminum oxidation is a "thing" that changes the texture of the metal and the metal will give off a black powdery residue (this metal part is usually at the "neck" of the attachment, or the part that snaps onto the turning fixture). It happens over time and the cause is usually manmade, so avoid exposing your attachments to harsh soaps and heat, and wash and dry them promptly. Lastly, I know that I could have ordered the flat beater from the maker or from a smaller kitchen parts shop, but, truth be told, Amazon offers the best price for this piece, and, as we know, if something goes wrong, Amazon is responsive and makes returns and exchanges quite easy.

Christmas 2025 gift. Watched as was used to make sugar cookie dough. Cleaned the bowl of the kitchen aid nicely. No need for a spatula that always seems in the way as the mixer works. Highly recommend. Am getting one for me.

I absolutely love how thise cleans the side of the bowl and mixes everything so nice. I handwash so it lasts longer. I had one before and the squegie (sp?) Eventually broke off and the white started to flake. I have high hopes that not putting it in the dishwasher will help it last.

I have a KitchenAid that’s at least 25 years old. And I don’t know why it took me so long to buy this part. This is great for scraping the side of the bowl. It makes doing batters so much easier. I would recommend it.

Pretty happy with this replacement part. My original chipped. This has gone through couple rounds of baking and seems pretty decent.

Fits current KitchenAid appliance and does a great job.

good product. works as it should

Works great...a must have....

A pesar de que al inicio tenia mis dudas en comparlo o no cuando lo probe me gusto mucho sirve muy bien cuando tengo que preparar una butterCream por ejemplo, y no tengo que estar retirando la mantequilla de las paredes del tazon. NOTA: Solo debemos tener en cuenta que tuve que ajustar un poco la batidora con el tornillo, pues cuando lo probe por primera vez, parecia que golpeaba un poco el tazon,encontrando la medida exacta es la mejor ayuda del mundo. Tambien debes tomar en cuenta el modelo de la batidora que usas y si es compatible, el modelo viene en la guia del producto y en la parte inferior del tazon tambien puedes encontrar una referencia.

Compatible with a 5qt kitchenaid this edge beater is amazing. The added module helps scraping off the ingredients from the sides of the kitchenaid. I bought this right before Christmas and made dozens of cookies with the help of this tool. Super easy to clean too, im amazed by the quality of it.

Wanted as a useful addition to new Kitchen Aid purchased recently. Great For mixing cakes without the need for constant scraping down the bowl.

Perfetto. Evita che la farina si attacchi al contenitore
