Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of SideSwipe for KitchenAid 4.5 and 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixers
Customer Review: Update 5/2010....
Summary: 2 Stars
This really does decrease the need to scrape the bowl when beating. Do you really NEED this option? Well, no. But it's handy. How many times have I been measuring out another ingredient when I should have been watching/scraping my bowl? Many. So, this just saves a little time and aggravation. You can NOT use this beater when making bread dough but it's great for cake & cookies as long as the dough isn't overly stiff. I've successfully used it with cake batters, chocolate chip cookies, muffins & biscotti cookie dough.
I have a KA Artisan. Make sure you are buying the correct beater for your version of KA. Check your beater-to-bowl clearance before using. You can ruin the beater & make your mixer work twice as hard if you don't. Someone has posted a good video of how to do this on YouTube. Just search on Beater-To-Bowl Adjustment.
I give it 4 stars because it is a bother to clean the batter out of all those fins. I don't think that anything could be done to change that; it's just a bother. Even though the fins are silicone, the batter does not just fall off. I mention it because I know someone who doesn't use their SideSwipe for this reason. I have posted a photo at the top of the page to show this.
Bright side: If you like to lick the beater, there's more to lick!
Update 5/2010: Well, this beater is already falling apart. Some of the fins have developed cracks & will fall off the beater if I continue to use it. I have used this maybe 12 times at most (mostly for cake batter & I hand-stirred in the chocolate chips & nuts for cookies) so in my opinion, this is not a very good product. I checked bowl/beater clearance prior to using - followed instructions for using on the package. GRRRRRRRR I gave this to a bunch of people for X-mas presents. Luckily, they don't bake much.
Description of SideSwipe for KitchenAid 4.5 and 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixers
SideSwipe revolutionizes mixing and virtually eliminates the need to stop your mixer and scrape the bowl to get all your ingredients mixed in. The original spatula mixer blade delivers better results because of its unique alternating silicone fins. The ultra-flexible fins' bi-directional scraping provides a more thoroughly-combined, fluffier end result than you can achieve with a standard flat beater. And it mixes your recipes faster, too! SideSwipe is perfect for mixing most everything you use your stand mixer for - cakes, frosting, cookies, mashed potatoes, creamed butter and much more! MODELS: Replaces the flat beater for ALL 4.5-quart and 5-quart KitchenAid stand mixers with a hinged, tilting head mechanism, including Artisan, UltraPower, Classic, Classic Plus, K45, K45SS, KSM75, KSM90, KSM110, KSM130, KSM150, KSM151, KSM152, Canadian and glass bowl models. Does not fit bowl-lift models that use a crank. Patented in US, Canada, Australia; other Foreign Patents pending. BPA FREE.Kitchen & Housewares
