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 while maintaining a safe wattage draw. And it mixes your recipes faster, too! SideSwipe is perfect for mixing most everything you use your stand mixer for - cakes, frosting, cookies with chips and nuts, mashed potatoes, creamed butter and much more! Don't be fooled by recent competition that doesn't mix as well or get ingredients from the bottom of the bowl!

Customer Reviews

Although I think this is rather high in price, it does what it is supposed to do and I believe it is worth the money. I am purchasing another one for my daughter. The one complaint we have about the Kitchen Aid mixer is stopping to scrap down the bowl. With the bowl-lift this isn't very easy or quick to do because the beater is in the way. The SideSwipe makes the scrapping of the bowl unnecessary. It works great!

I'd initially learned about this item while visiting my mom in Florida. We had stumbled upon a little kitchen supply shop in town and they were carrying them; alas, they were out of the size I needed...thank goodness I found them on Amazon.com!
My assessment: I just finished making my "infamous" New Year's Eve clam dip and utilized the "Sideswipe" for the first time since I received it a few days ago. I can attest that this accessory does exactly what it's intended to do; it scrapes (gently!) the sides of the bowl so effectively, there's truly no need for you to do so, which will save you both time and energy! It offers easy clean up as well, making it an ideal Kitchenaid cook's companion.
I highly recommend this product; just be sure to measure your existing beater blade (height and width), so you are sure to order the right size for your specific Kitchenaid mixer.
Happy Cooking!
