 Can't live without it! Aug 31, 2010
I love this blade! It has a few flaws that I'm not wild about, but they're forgivable for what it does. The worst thing is that it squeaks against the bowl & loudly. The other thing I don't like is that ingredients get stuck in the groove where the rubber meets the plastic & they don't get mixed in. It isn't much, but I have to be careful not to dig in there too deeply when I scrape (or lick!) the blade. But it's such a huge time & elbow grease saver that I can ignore the downfalls.

I use my KA to make breads and pasta dough but I had stopped using it for cakes and cookies since I found that mixing the ingredients by hand was less time consuming than doing it with the KA. This tool is exactly what I was missing.
 Nice Idea - lacks quality Aug 27, 2010
I ordered this because of the reviews I had seen and many other bakers' comments. The idea is great because it not only mixes, but scrapes the bowl as you mix.
The issues I have is that it is made of cheap plastic. Mind you, my K-5 Kitchen Aid was bought 45 years ago. At that time it was still manufactured by Hobart. They have since sold it to another company whose quality is very poor. This paddle fits into the same category. After spending over $25 for this, I would have expected it to be manufactured of metal, like the original beaters and even the current beaters - of aluminum. Instead it is made of a light weight plastic. After spending that money on this thing, I seriously doubt it will hold up more than a year or two.
In addition, the center shaft hole goes directly through to the bottom. This means whatever you are mixing gets up into the shaft. It's a real pain to clean properly. That means it is unsanitary to use.
Save yourself the money. It's not worthy the cost. It's downright CHEAP.
Definitely worth the money Aug 24, 2010
This beater blade 'cleans' the side of the bowl exactly as advertised. It makes it so much easier since you don't have to stop and scrape. I'm not experienced enough to know if it makes the process much faster. Not having to scrape the bowl is worth the price alone IMO.
 Performs as expected Aug 07, 2010
Item arrived quickly and we put it to the test several time with full satisfaction. Wish that Kitchen Aid would have thought of that design. Only small drawback is the price but with time you realize that it is worth the extra expense.
