Yes, I would recommend (it’s a game-changer.No, I have no complaints.One caution: it almost works too well. I’ve had to reduce some of the kneading times to avoid developing too much gluten—usually about half the time specified in the recipe. I think I can live with that.Any serious baker or cook with a KA mixer would appreciate this upgrade. If you’re buy a mixer for a newly wed couple, a Mother’s Day, Christmas or birthday gift, do the recipient a favor and gift this (and the paddle), too. If you’re spending $300+, what’s another $30–$60 for a hook and paddle?

Great accessory for a Kitchenaid. The helix shape mixes dough so much better than the standard hook. Plus no chipped enamel in the dough. Fit and finish are very good. Doesn't disappoint.

This dough hook has been awesome. Love the stainless material and the dough work has been very good, better than the standard dough hooks

I love that it's made of dishwasher safe material. I'm happy that no paint is chipping off. This dough hook is good for medium and large batches of dough.

Move over, original coated hook—this stainless steel upgrade came to knead and absolutely conquer. If my old dough hook was a polite handshake, this one is a firm, “let’s get to work” kind of grip. Heavy-duty? Check. Spiral-shaped like a steel tornado of gluten development? Double check.It laughs in the face of dense sourdough, mocks pizza dough resistance, and twirls through bagel mix like it’s dancing on Dancing with the Carbs. Bonus: it's dishwasher-safe and not flaky (literally—no peeling coating!).In short, this dough hook is like giving your mixer a personal trainer. You’ll wonder how you ever lived with the wimpy one before.

It’s absolutely perfect and I don’t have to worry about paint chips getting into my bread dough.

Absolutely the best tool! Stainless steel so much better than plastic piece!
