Rated 5 out of 5 by SittoX7 from Wash Paddle by Hand to Avoid Chipping! I just got off the phone after ordering a replacement paddle for my old mixer, model # KSM5PSGR. After getting the model and serial numbers, he asked when I purchased my mixer. l just laughed and told him I have no idea because it is so old. He looked it up. I purchased the mixer in 1989!!! It is almost 31 years old with the original accessories! I used it heavily for family, holiday gifts, church potlucks, and even 7 years of youth camp. I always washed my accessories by hand. I never had any problems with chipping until my daughter lived with us for 4 months and would always put it in the dishwasher. It was never the same after that. The color yellowed and the finish started looking brittle but it didn’t start chipping right away. Even in that condition it held up for a several years before starting to chip in the last year. I have had to stop using it. I have no complaints about my mixer or accessories. It is a fabulous appliance! My only issue with Kitchen Aid is that it takes forever to get to a live person. I have tried calling several times to order the replacement paddle when it was not the holiday season but didn’t have the time to wait and had to hang up after 30 minutes. It is 4 days before Christmas and I had to wait over 45 minutes. The music only made the wait worse. After being on the phone for over 30 minutes, I contacted the virtual assistant (V.A.) online while still waiting for someone to answer my phone call. The V.A. couldn’t help and asked me if I could wait (an additional) 16 to 30 minutes to be connected with a live person by phone. My original phone call was answered before I received the call referred by the V.A. Both the virtual and live assistants were a delight to work with and extremely kind, patient, courteous and helpful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lhamo from I love mine! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was recently given an old model of the KitchenAid, and I am using it daily! This particular paddle is so helpful when making muffins, banana bread and other sweet treats. I use it for all my mixing unless it’s baking bread. I’m wishing for a bread hook with the spatula material on the edge due to baking bread almost every day!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mariellen from Beater lasted over 30 yrs, time to replace it I came here to purchase two new beaters that will replace mine and my Mom's - both are over 30 yrs old and are regularly used. It is disconcerting to read other reviews of beaters lasting a very short time in relation to the original ones that came with our purchase! I have to wonder if it is due to newer regulations for food surfaces to be free of paints containing chemicals more than it being any type of corporate decision. I'll still jump in the bowl and buy the replacements! I do expect to use them heavily with the upcoming holidays and if I see unusual wear I will certainly come back to post a new review. For now, I'll have to give five stars for the way my beater held up over 30 yrs of use and that I love my machine. I have purchased a few attachments over the years and have thoroughly enjoyed the results I get using the food grinder in making unique hamburgers (adding fresh veggies with the meat I'm grinding such as fresh fennel with pork)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Andrea from Great product! I have had my Kitchen Aid Professional HD since 1998, and use it once or twice every single day at our sporting camp. I never had to replace the flat beater until it got washed in the dishwasher by accident. The directions stated to wash by hand which I always did, but a helper put it in the dishwasher once and that caused the black residue mentioned in the other comments. It is worth having this non-coated paddle, and just washing by hand.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LadyGray from So Far so Good Well after reading several reviews here and there, I am beginning to wonder should I take this mixer back. I do agree beaters are the essential. I am moving up from a 25+ year old KSM90 tilt-head mixer to a Professional 5 quart bowl stand mixer. I must say when I got the mixer this week, I don't like the beaters because I can tell cast aluminum when I see it. So I want to order the white coated beaters anyway. Only now I am discovering issues with the white and metal. I am going to give the metal a try for now. So I took my metal polish I use for my silver to see if these beaters could do well with polish. Yes, tarnish did come off the new unused beaters during the process but they look shinier. Next, I hand-washed them in hot sudsy water and towel dried them. They look better now than fresh out of the box. I made 3 dozen rolls and two loaves of bread this week and they look the same. I don't like the hand-wash/ towel dry thingy ...but I'll deal with it for now anyway. Polishing will only be as needed. I am going to give this item a 3 star rating. The coated beaters were a time saver, convenient, and clean easy but now I am not sure about them either. Well see if I need to get white ones after all.
