KitchenAid KFEW6L Flex Edge Beater

It has taken me a long time to review this but I really did need time to work with it, I don't bake a lot of cakes or cookies (I will now). This beater fits my Kitchen Aid just as it is supposed to, after all it is made for it by Kitchen Aid. I was doubtful about how well it work after all it doesn't look very conventional nothing like the beaters I had used in the past, so I was worried it wouldn't incorporate or aerate batters very well. No need to worry. It creams and turns batters with butter into a very fluffy batter without any problem. As far as some of the concerns with how it scrapes the bottom of the bowl: the design is perfect, it catches every bit of flour or fluid that is in the bottom of the bowl and incorporates it into the batter so that everything is mixed in, it also scrapes the sides of the bowl without me have to once stop my KA and scrape the sides. The design of the mixer is such that it never goes in a perfect circle anyone that has this size KA know how it functions, I don't think my Artisan mixer went in a circle either, but I don't remember. People that are saying it doesn't mix haven't given it a try, more than once. I tested this on sponge cakes, and multiple types of cookies it scraped the bowl perfectly every time. It locks into place just as any other attachment that KA makes for their mixer and it has stayed in place when I have made large stiff cookie batches or small thinner cookie batches, this really is an amazing attachment. The other thing I really love about it is the clean up, it is so easy because there are no center pieces to work around and make sure that you have all the batter off of so there is no reason to not handwash it. So it washes up easily and very well. There has been no rust that has shown up as one person showed in a picture. So if you are like I was and quit baking cookies (much to my husbands heartbreak for a couple years) and cakes, get this beater attachment and enjoy making cookies and cakes again without having the hassle of scraping down the bowl again. It works great for me. I love it and I definitely recommend it.
