Today I tried out this beater. It is fabulous. It fit like a charm into the mixer. I began making my cookies and used slow speed all the way to high and never once needed to stop the mixer to stir as I used to do. I highly recommend it. I purchased this one over the plastic because of the reviews of people that had issues with durability. I'm glad I waited. You won't be sorry if you buy this. My mixer is the Artisan KPS150.

Held up against the factory beater, the metal part of the flex edge is an exact match with the silicone flex edge extending out a bit more than the metal blades footprint. Still I needed to adjust the bowl a bit to get the best most even bowl scrapping top to bottom.

Cleaning mix off the beater is no more or less difficult than the metal beater as it's the same shape. It is dishwasher-safe.

The part is metal with a silicone edge. The silicone appears to be a good heavy quality, very pliable. It seems like it should be very durable and last a long time. There is a one year warranty on the beater.

All of the third party competitors I see on Amazon are made of plastic/nylon. Some reviews reported snapped/broken beaters under heavy mixes. Even if the warranty will replace the beater, it's a hassle I do not want to deal with.

Unlike those from other vendors, the flex edge is just on one side. Perhaps this is to lessen the load on the motor?

This is a genuine KitchenAid brand product, so it does not void your mixer warranty. Some reviews of those with warranty issues on their mixers not being honored due to the use of third party beaters concerned me.

You can see for yourself how it works. There are a few YouTube videos of the KitchenAid Flex Beater being tested and used. Go to YouTube and search "KitchenAid Flex Edge Beater" to view them.

Be very sure your mixer model number is listed on the box or description as supported by the beater. Each blade box lists the exact models it works with. Google "KitchenAid Flex Edge Beater" and your mixer model and you should get a hit as to which model Flex Beater fits your mixer. Using the wrong blade could damage your mixer and/or mixing bowl.

I have seen this and other Flex Beater models at Macy's and Bed, Bath & Beyond for both 4½/5 and 6 quart bowls on bowl lift and Artisan mixer head tilt models. They are out there.

If you find your mix gets flung out of the bowl by the beater, just drop the speed down a notch. This seems like common sense to me, but I see reviews of other third party flex beaters complain of this. Maybe this does not work well for all mixes, but I have not had an issue with the couple of bread and cake mixes I did so far.

Overall, I find it works well at grabbing what's on the bowl sides and mixing it in once the bowl height is adjusted properly. There is no need to stop and scrape the bowl down. I have not found a reason to go back to the standard beater. The quality is just what you expect from KitchenAid. I feel it's worth the price.

I have used this beater twice now and both times I have appreciated it. It's great for creaming butter and sugar. No more stopping to scrape the bowl. And the instructions say you can put it in the dishwasher to clean, which I've done with no problems. I would buy this beater again.

Honest reviews on KitchenAid KFE6L Flex Edge Beater Attachment

I bought this after reading the mixed reviews, and I have to say it is amazing! I had NO problem with batter being thrown out of the bowl and the sides and bottom were scraped down well. I appreciated not having to stop and scrape the bowl after each addition. As with everything I mix, I started with the lowest setting and worked my way up. Worth the money.

I recently purchased this after getting tired of stopping to scrape the bowl. I had considered the other products from other manufacturers and was happy to find something made by KA.

A big plus for getting this from KA is it's not a plastic unit that can break other brands been broken since attachment is all plastic. This is a solid attachment with a plastic sleeve.
