KitchenAid KFE5T Tilt-Head Flex Edge Beater, White

Works good, wish there was a flexible rubber on bottom of scraper too

This is a must have. Not sure why kitchen aid did not sip with the mixer.

I love that I don’t have to stick a spatula down in the mixing bowl anymore!

This gets everything up and off the sides perfectly. It seems like it gets dry ingredients up off the very bottom better, too.

The only downside that I can note is that when youre done mixing and you lift the tilt head up slowly with the mixer spinning so that whatever you’re mixing spins off the beater … know what I mean?… when you do that with this beater it splatters out of the mixing bowl more. I used to be able to do it perfectly fine whether I was using the whisk or the original beater and didn’t have any splatters, but with this Edge Scraper version you have to be more careful because the stuff flings out and splatters much more often and more easily.

So, it means you have to do more scraping of the beater to get all your mixture off of it, whereas with old beater you could lift the head a little, control the speed, and have mixture spin off into your bowl.

Youre not having to scrape the mixing bowl anymore to get everything incorporated and mixed, but you do have to scrape this beater now. Fair trade off, I think. I’d rather scrape the beater after mixing than have to keep scraping with a spatula or scraper while mixing.

Update after prolonged use: The edges of the Flex Edge are getting pretty beat up. The edge sort of curls up a little bit and there are little cracks in. In some spots, it looks like tiny chunks are missing from the very edge. It doesn’t effect the performance, but I didn’t expect it to end up this way. I imagine i’ll need to replace it before too long. It doesn’t seem to be an accessory that has the same life span as the mixer.

Works great as advertised.

Keto guy here, so I make fat bombs with blocks of cream cheese and various other ingredients very regularly. This paddle makes it so easy because you don’t have to stop and scrape anything! And about those with the rubber breaking, I throw blocks of cheese straight from the refrigerator in there every time and it never damages it. I think maybe many of those that are breaking are due to improperly adjusted depth of the tilt head smashing it too hard into the bowl wall. Set up and used properly this will last a very long time, but yes, expect it to eventually wear out.
