New Metro KA-5L Original Beater Blade Works w/ Most KitchenAid 5 Qt Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers, Grey

I have purchased this paddle 3 times now. One for myself years ago, one for my BFF and another for me as back up because I know the price of this scraping paddle is amazing vs. The competition. When I say that I couldn't live without this Kitchenaid fitting pattle, it's far from exaggerated experience. I litterally use this attachment in bread making to start as well as other baking batters, frosting etc., at least once a week. Say goodbye to dropping your mixing bowl for constant scraping. I haven't used a spatula unless I'm turning out batters after mixing is complete. This paddle is constructed of heavy duty plastics and rubber edge. The KA-6L Paddle fits my 7 qt. Perfectly. I would highly recommend for yourself as well as a gift for anyone who owns a kitchenaid stand mixer. My kitchenaid mixer came with a rubber sided paddle which has no inside to it. I used it once and found it useless. I'm very happy to have found New Metro Original Beater Blade.

Gets the sides of my Kitchen Aid, scraping down smoothly! Fits a 6qt.

Favorite blade ever! Gets to the bottom of the bowl plus the sides. Re-ordering my fourth one, just because I’m afraid I won’t be able to find them one day 6 quart lift up

I would give a 5 star but not made of metal like my kitchen aid attachments I misplaced my paddle attachment needed one fast making a batch of professional sugar cookies I sell and was a big order it’s a hobby I love making these cookies and people have started ordering but I needed a paddle for my kitchen aid it’s plastic not metal but so far so good with the hard plastic I was worried the price is great and it does a great job! Speed on high and rubber sides really clean and mix sides of bowl when blending! Does a better job for a great price than I expected it’s still a workhorse so far so good! Also fits my 10 speed kitchen aid perfectly!

This thing is a workhorse! I have to say, mine just snapped in 2 places when I used it with some probably-too-cold butter, BUT I have had it and have been using it for 17 years, so I’m happy with that longevity.

I ordered this Beater Blade back in June 2016 and have been using it for the past 4 years. I use my KitchenAid a lot more because I no longer have to stop and scrape the bowl. A few months ago, I was dumping ingredients in the mixer when I heard a "pop" sound. It was then that I realized that I had forgotten to defrost my butter. (I broke my plastic cookie dough blade for my Bosch mixer the same way, so I did know better). Even though the blade has a crack in it up at the top, I have continued to use it, and now I am looking to get a replacement. I use my Bosch mixer for large recipes, and my KitchenAid for smaller items because there are less pieces to wash. Pros: Attaches to the mixer just like the original Effectively scraps the bowl It is plastic, so it will brake instead of the mixer if the ingredients are too much for the mixer to handle Cons: Supper squeaky with the mixer is first starting up. It is plastic and can break The price has doubled since my first purchase 4 years ago The Chinese product that is comparable to this is half the price I have found that if I cover the silicone bade in butter before turning on the mixer, the squeaky noise subsides. Even though I have loved this blade and I need a new one, I'm not sure if it is worth the current cost of $30. The genuine Kitchenaid blade is listed at over $40 it is metal and only has the scraper on one side of it. I did purchase a Chinese product last week for $7.50 and the blade came without the scraper part on it. So, did I get what I paid for with that one, nope because it is unusable and I am trying to get the company to replace it.

It works! I love it! Now I don't have to stop and scrape the sides of the bowl on a continuous basis. This beater does it for me. It is so easy to use.

I *really* wanted to LOVE this product. I buy 'Made In The U.S.A.' as much as I can - why send our money to China when only a fraction of it comes back? But sadly the quality on this product is 50/50. It *IS* however a good value for the price, and performs its specified function - so I still recommend buying it. The problem I have with this unit is that the tolerances for the post/driveshaft are too loose. In the provided pictures you can clearly see that the KitchenAid attachment has a hole diameter of 12.89 (12.9)mm. The New Metro blade has a diameter of 13.34mm. This variance of over 0.4mm makes the New Metro blade loose, as you can see in the video. Although I did not perform specific measurements on the locking slot the New Metro blade seemed to have far too much play there, as well. When the mixer is on the force of the motor driving the blade keeps the blade on and it seems sturdy enough, but it does make me a bit nervous to have such loose tolerances in such a strong mechanical device (my KA has the 1hp DC motor). The fact that there is no metal core, but instead the *whole* unit is hard plastic, only adds to my concerns. That said, the fit of the actual wiper is excellent! In the last picture you can see me shining a light in the bowl - no light escapes past the wiper blade, showing how the blade makes great contact with the side of the mixing bowl. When the unit is attached and turned on the wiping action is readily apparent. Advice For The Company: 1) Tighten up your tolerances a bit. Yes, I know that means you'll have to get new molds and that's expensive. But as I've measure the actual shaft of the KA at 12.65-12.7 this shouldn't be such a problem. 2) Consider a metal core. I know that means the price will go up a bit, but I'd rather buy a mixing blade that will still be useful in 5 years for a few extra $ than one that is cheaper and going to break in that time period. 3) You wiper blades are excellent, don't change those - even if you think it will help boost profit.

Con questo accessorio non è più necessario utilizzare la spatola per "spostare" l'impasto nella ciotola della planetaria. Occorre però regolare la vite che si trova sotto la testa della kitchenaid in quanto non perfettamente identica in dimensioni alla foglia in dotazione. Non adatta a impasti troppo solidi perché è di plastica. La utilizzo comunque per impasti di torte, creme etc, la prima acquistata mi è durata più di 5 anni dopodiché ha iniziato a sbriciolarsi la parte in silicone e l'ho sostituita. Soddisfatta.

Gekauft, weil beim Original von Kitchenaid eine sehr hohe Bleibelastung in der Farbe nachgewiesen wurde, somit ging es gleich in den (Sonder)Muell. Bleifrei und genau so gut. Danke

La pieza no es metálica, es de plástico. La regulación de la altura del bol la tengo en la más alejada posible (pala vs bol). De momento, cumple su función

It is good but it puts so many scratch marks in the bowl .Reducing the beauty of the bowl.

Vale la pena, mucho más barata que la kitchenaid. Te ayuda a no tener que estar raspando la espátula en el bowl al momento de hacer masas. Buena calidad
