Product Description

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.

Customer Reviews

I received the Side Swipe blade as a gift. It worked great at first. After using it about 20 times, I made some cookies and while washing the blade I noticed two of the top fins were missing and two more were cracked and ready to fall off. I had to discard the entire batch of cookies since I did not know which cookie had the fins in them. After breaking several cookies I found one fin in the middle of a cookie. Very dangerous if someone was eating it. I tried to contact the company several times and received no response. They have no telephone and only an email, to which they never seem to reply. I definitely would not recommend this product!

After manually scraping down the sides of my Kitchen Aid mixer for several years while making cookie dough, I think this product is heaven sent! It installs just like any other Kitchen Aid mixing tool except that you may have to adjust the height of the tilt top to account for the extra silicone on the bottom of the tool. It's a simple procedure and the directions are on the back of the package for added convenience. Anyhow, the amazing thing is that the product works just as described...it scrapes the sides of the bowl as you mix your dough and it did a beautiful job blending all the ingredients together. If you're in to baking, this is a wonderful accessory to have in the kitchen! Go ahead and try it...you'll love it too!
