New Metro KA-THR Original Beater Blade Works w/ KitchenAid 4.5 - 5 Qt Tilt-Head Stand Mixers, Red

Product works right just like it says inscription just make sure which one exactly fits your mixer my the KitchenAid and that all of them fit each other I've had to send one back to get the right one so please make sure that either than that the attachment works wonderfully and recommend their product

Creaming sugar and butter is more efficient and thorough with this beater. Mixes flour thoroughly into the batter. Hands-free operation, now.

I am trying to write a review for the KA-6LR but it is linking to the KA-5LR.I actually have both the 5LR and the 6LR. I have both a Professional 5-qt Lift-Bowl Itchen-Aid mixer that is over 20 years old, and a refurbished 7-qt Professional Lift Bowl Kitchen-Aid mixer. I have used the KA-5LR for several years now and have about three on hand at any time to be able to switch beween different cake batters without having to wash the paddle in between. Same for the American Buttercream Frosting I make which can be made from soft to stiff depending on my cake design needs.I was thrilled to find that there is now a KA-6LR for the standard 7-quart Lift Bowl mixer as one has not been on AMAZON before. I purchaed one and I will be purchasing a couple of more for the same reasons I have listed for the 5LR. I absolutely LOVE the 6LR rubber sided paddle. It fits the 7-qt bowl snuggly which I thought would be a problem, but it did absolutely fantastic on my double batch (4-lbs confectioner sugar) frosting at stiff consistency. I do not need to scrape the bowl anymore, but I do have to scrape the beater halfway through the mixing cycle because dry flour, mix or sugar can sometimes get caked on the sides of the rubber. But no big deal. So easy to use.Both the 5LR and the 6LR are heavier than the past models - much improved. I have only had one problem with an early model 5LR where the rubber pulled away from the plastic paddle, but none of those problems since my first one. I have only broken one 5LR when I didn't have it on the mixer completely and was mixing dough. It broke when it came off when the dough was too stiff . Totally my mistake.

Plastic body of blade seems sturdy. Does a good job of keeping materials from sticking to side of bowl. However, this blade did not snap on as solidly as the original metal one. It fit loosely on mixer, but did not come off, so I guess it will be ok.

KA regular beaters tend to push mixers up the sides of the mixing bowl and you have to keep turning off the mixer and scraping the sides down, which is a pain... this new design has a semi-angled blade that keeps the mixtures down in the bowl... AWESOME!!...

It took me two tries to get the correct paddle, but this one works perfect for my KitchenAid K5SS. I have had the exact same brand beater on my Artisan mixer for over five years and have had no problems with it. I hope to get just as much use out of this one.The only thing I had to do was adjust the head a smidge, but that is easy enough to do.

This is the 3rd beater I have ordered and returned to Amazon. All of the beaters I bought, indicated in the description that they would fit my model mixer. When I tried this beater, it knocked the bowl off the mixer. It does not fit as the others I returned didn’t fit. I desperately need a replacement beater so I trimmed this beater so it fits my mixer and bowl. I shouldn’t have had to mutilate the beater especially since it indicates it’s comparable with model KG025HOX which is what I have - 5 qt. Bowl lift mixer. I hope my little fixit doesn’t compromise the longevity of the beater. Thank you.

I liked this a lot and tended to use it in place of the similar original equipment blade because I liked the constant bowl scraping this item provides. That aspect worked quite well.Unfortunately I discovered that it is not a good general replacement for the original Kitchen Aid beater -- this item is plastic, and it is not strong enough. I was using it on some biscuit dough and it BROKE. Broke, as in now totally unusable. A beater blade that breaks when beating is useless to me. If you are sure that you will use it to beat only fairly light items then go ahead. Just be careful what you beat or else this beater blade will break.EDIT: I have increased the rating to 3 stars because the blade is a good product as long as you are careful not to break it, and because the company does honor its warranty. I explained what had happened, they asked me to email a photo of the broken blade, and they immediately sent a replacement with no further questions. Their service was all that I could have hoped for.

This saved me from buying a new mixer. My old beaters did not pick up anything near the sides of the bowl so I had to constantly hand scrape. Seems well made. I'm happy with this.

The media could not be loaded.  So happy with this blade. (Picture 2 shows it beside the regular blade for comparison). Fits my 5qt kitchenaid artisan mixer. It is made of plastic but seems like a harder material and not cheaply made. Have used a couple times already and it mixes very well. I still scrape the bowl and blade but only once maybe twice to make sure all the batter and fry ingredients got mixed well. The rubber seems to be holding up well; even if it starts to break I’ll order from here again. Well worth it!!

La pieza es de buena calidad y ligera para la máquina batidora. Cubre muy bien las orillas de la vasija mezcladora y es resistente. Recomiendo este producto.

My wife loves this paddle... she uses it all the time and will probably never go back to the original Kitchen Aid paddle that came with the mixer. It nicely scrapes the side of the bowl. In fact, this is our 2nd one. I broke, (yes I take full responsibility..) the 1st one when trying to mix bread dough because I couldn’t find the dough hook. This paddle works well for what it was designed for... lighter batters like cookie dough, etc.

Lo practico que resultó en el batido de masas fluidas, ya que a la vez raspa tazon y el mezclado es más uniforme.
