Product Description

New Metro Design’s Beater Blade is an electric mixer attachment which thoroughly mixes batter, eliminating the need to stop and scrape the bowl manually. Engineered for use with top brand electric stand mixers, including most models offered by KitchenAid, Cuisinart, DeLonghi and Viking, the new Beater Blade beats, scrapes, folds and incorporates ingredients thoroughly for fool-proof baking. The new Beater Blade+ ingeniously improves on the functionality of standard V-shaped beaters offered with high-end stand mixers by crafting a high-quality, enhanced blade that includes a flexible rubber wing down the entire length of both sides of the blade. The durable, food-grade edging simulates the action of a powerful spatula to gently, yet thoroughly scrape the bowl clean. The wing-system design acts like a wiper blade that continuously scrapes sides and bottom of bowl while it mixes virtually eliminating hand-scraping and batter build-up on the blade. BeaterBlade’s state-of-the-art design continuously and automatically scrapes batters during mixing, which can speed up the process by as much as 50 percent. By eliminating the need to turn off and on the mixer to scrape the bowl, Beater Blade reduces wear of the motor of the mixer, as well. New Metro Design’s Beater Blade excels in a full range of mixing applications, including creaming butter, sugar and eggs to fluffy perfection, and preparing frostings and pastry creams quickly and easily. Model KA-TH fits all KitchenAid tilt head mixers regardless of the KitchenAid model numbers.

Amazon.com Product Description
Cut your mixing time by up to 50 percent with the New Metro Design BeaterBlade. There's no more troubling "scraping the bowl," because the BeaterBlade mixes the batter so thoroughly that it eliminates build-up on the blade and bowl. It's one of the most efficient kitchen tools you'll ever own. The BeaterBlade is engineered for use with top-brand electric stand mixers, such as those offered by Cuisinart, Viking, and DeLonghi.

The high-quality blade includes flexible rubber wings down both sides, which simulates the action of a power spatula to continuously scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, much like your car's windshield wiper blades. By continuously scraping the batter while beating, folding, and mixing the ingredients, the BeaterBlade not only speeds up the process by as much as 50 percent, but it also saves wear and tear on your mixer's motor by eliminating the need to turn the mixer off and on to scrape the bowl manually.

Made in the U.S.A., the BeaterBlade is perfect for cakes, cookies, frostings, quick breads, compound butters, meatloaf, pie fillings, mashed potatoes, gum paste and other tasty foods. It washes easily and safely on the top rack of your dishwasher; just place it upside down on the rung, and use a bottle brush to clean the inside of the neck. It measures 10 x 7.5 x 0.8 inches.

Your Use Will Determine The Beater Blade's Value to You
I purchased the Beater Blade to use with my Viking 7-Qt. mixer; my primary use of that machine is making artisan breads.

I love my Viking mixer for bread making, but occasionally use it to make cookies which contain a high proportion of oatmeal. Thus, the dry ingredients are prone to gathering along the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl and require that I stop the mixer, lift the head and move the ingredients using a spatula. While that isn't exactly a Herculean task, it is annoying. However, due to a stubborn streak and a less than industrious attitude on the particular day, I tried scraping the side of the bowl while the mixer was down and moving - even though I know better. The result was a broken spatula - just as one would expect.

When I saw this Beater Blade, I thought it might solve the problem. Once you have adjusted the Beater Blade, it does an excellent job of clearing the sides and bottom of the bowl. If you mix a lot of cookie dough or batter-type foods, then this item is well worth the money you will spend for it. The Beater Blade doesn't generate heat like the metal beaters, and, as a result, shortenings do not melt during creaming. The final product is much less "soupy" than when making cookie doughs using a metal beater. However, if you use your mixer primarily for breads, as I do, then the the Beater Blade is probably something you can live without.

I rated this item four stars because its utility is questionable in relation to the cost. Further, I have some concern about the longevity of the blade itself and whether it will wear quickly or whether it will become brittle if washed in the dishwasher.

DISAPPOINTED
While I initially liked the blade for its scraping ability, despite the necessity of many minute initial adjustments, I was greatly disappointed tonight when the shaft split in two, despite the fact that I don't use my mixer for anything all that heavy (cookie dough mostly). Be warned.

A fantastic accessory for the mixer. It totally eliminates the need to constantly stop the mixer to scrape the bowl. I have one of these for every mixer I have. A great idea!
