Flat Beater Replacement for KitchenAid 5plus/6 Qt. Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers/Polished 18/8 Stainless Steel Paddle Accessories/No coating/Dishwasher Safe/Replacement for KN256CBT

This is the only stainless steel replacement beater blade that I have found that is dishwasher safe and the correct width for my KitchenAid Professional 6. It also attaches and comes off easily with my model. No more worrying about aluminum or white coating chips ending up in my grandchildren's cookies. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We sent back the first one we ordered, due to a casting defect. The replacement also had one, but not as large, so we're hoping it holds up.Otherwise, it fits well and I really like the option of stainless steel.

This is a nice, sturdy replacement beater. My original kitchen aid one is only a couple of years old, and the paint was chipping. I don't anticipate this beater having any similar issues. Very solid and well made. It works great!

Great quality beater. Was looking for an all metal beater instead of the plastic, and this was great. Unfortunately it didn't fit my mixer, and I had to return. Make sure and check your model numbers carefully. If you're looking for something that will last and not break when mixing a heavy cookie dough, then this is the one.

Purchased because I only had a powder coated KitchenAid paddle that started to chip and they refuse to replace with stainless steel. This works great!

So for all your Kitchenaid Mixer owners out there that don't know why so many are complaining about the beaters, let me tell how badly Kitchenaid went downhill, and from the messages and reviews online, don't really seem to care. My decades old 4qt and basic mixer's original coated beater is fine. The newer Professional Plus one I have started chipping within a year, and it's terrible. It's the kind of unacceptable thing that ruins a brand. Well, this worked for me. I feel like I can safely mix again, no thanks to Kitchenaid itself, but thank you third party!

My mixer is about 8 years old and the Beater started chipping. Once it starts to chip, it goes south real fast. This is a beautiful upgrade. I was skeptical and nervous that it would not fit my 5 Pro KV25GOX but it was a perfect fit. It's like a shiny new toy. Cleans off so much easier than the Coated version. Kitchenaid Mixers are a lifetime investment for most people and including Stainless Steel mixing attachments should at least be an optional upgrade at the time of purchase. When it arrived and my son saw it, my son said, "You must have found white chips in you mix like I found in my dough" I didn't find any but because of how the coated beater looked, I knew they were there.

This beater is so sleek and is so much nicer than my old one. My old one started chipping all over so I decided to replace it and I wish I would have done it sooner. This beater is amazing.
