KA-5L Original BeaterBlade

KA-5L Original Plastic BeaterBlade is compatible with most KitchenAid 5 Qt Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers

KA-6L all the colors
Get the right size BeaterBlade to work with your Stand Mixer!

The KA-5L Plastic BeaterBlade works with KitchenAid Bowl-Lift stand mixers with most:

  • 5 Quart stainless steel bowl

IT DOES NOT WORK WITH:

  • 5 Quart Glass Bowls
  • Professional 5-Plus stand mixer
  • 5 Quart Tilt-Head mixer

KA-5L Original Plastic BeaterBlade

Made in the USA since 2008 for use with most KitchenAid 5 Qt. Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers

The BeaterBlade is designed to scrape the sides of your mixing bowl, which means it has to touch the sides of the bowl and might make some noise!

The Original BeaterBlade frame is made from high impact plastic. It's flexible plastic blades press against the bowl to scrape batter and mix in a downward motion but they flex enough so the blade rotates freely.

BUY THE RIGHT SIZE...see details for which mixers it will and will NOT work with.

Tips & tricks for a successful fit & mixing:

  • Secure bowl on stand mixer and attach the BeaterBlade; lift bowl into locked position
  • Be patient when putting the BeaterBlade on your mixer, it might be a snug fit in the bowl
  • Never operate BeaterBlade in an empty bowl, it could damage the blade. For a smooth start, wipe a small amount of butter along the plastic blades
  • The BeaterBlade might make some noise & cause mixer bowl to move a little; it is, after all, pressing against the bowl edges to scrape & mix the batter
  • To fine tune the blade-to-bowl contact, so blade turns freely (with ingredients in the bowl!), use the mixer height adjustment: turn clockwise to lower the bowl or counterclockwise to raise the bowl
  • Use BeaterBlade as a hand-held spatula to scrape batter out of the bowl and into the pan

Efficient and Thorough Mixing without Scraping the Bowl

The Original BeaterBlade cuts mixing times by up to 50%, giving you more time to create other things…like frosting. Cake batters come out silky smooth, cookie doughs are thoroughly blended and anything else you can dream up will be mixed better than using the flat beater. Go ahead…mix something delicious.

By continuously scraping the sides of the mixing bowl, the Original BeaterBlade virtually eliminates batter build-up and the need to hand-scrape the mixing bowl. It directs ingredients into the center of the bowl and incorporates ingredients 100% for perfect consistency every time. When mixing is complete, take the BeaterBlade off the mixer and it will double as a spatula for your final stir.

Product Description

The Original BeaterBlade from New Metro Design is always made in the USA. The Original BeaterBlade replaces the flat beater that comes with most stand mixers. The patented Wing-Blade technology virtually eliminates the need for hand-scraping the bowl and pushes ingredients down to the dimple, in the bottom of the bowl, thoroughly combining all ingredients, 50% faster. To achieve a fluffy, aerated mixture (think creamed butter and sugar), beat at a higher speed. To achieve a smooth, thick mixture (think cheese cake), beat at lower speed. Use the BeaterBlade as a hand-held spatula to transfer every bit of batter into the pan. KA-5L BeaterBlades are compatible with most KitchenAid 5 Quart Bowl-Lift stand mixers, however it does NOT work with a 5 Quart glass bowl or the Professional 5-Plus mixer. Do not operate BeaterBlade in an empty mixing bowl. The Original BeaterBlade is always made in the USA, the frame is made from high impact plastic and the flexible plastic blades are free of rubber, silicone and Teflon. Dishwasher safe for convenience and quick clean up!

Customers like the mixing of the kitchen attachment. They say the blade is great, it mixes the ingredients very well, and the beater attachment is very effective at keeping the ingredients mixed. The flexible wings ensure that all ingredients are well mixed and do not leave dry ingredients stuck to the sides of the bowl. The attachment is easy to use, allowing for a more complete mixing of batters or doughs. Customers also mention that it's nearly immediate, with no balling up.

"...gifts… this will get most of the mix from the bowl sides and helps the mixing process." Read more

Customers are mixed about the value of the kitchen mixer. Some mention it's good value and an inexpensive way to make your life easier, while others say it'll waste your money. The beater blade that came with the mixer is cheap, ugly, and looks toxic. It's impossible to buy a decent beater for it, and the price has doubled since their first purchase.

"...Works perfectly and not as expensive as the Kitchenaid brand." Read more

"...It *IS* however a good value for the price, and performs its specified function - so I still recommend buying it...." Read more

"Reasonably priced compared to others. Would definitely buy again!" Read more

604 customers mention169 positive435 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the paddle. They mention that it doesn't fit their KA Pro500 series bowl, the mixer, or the glass bowl. The fit is tight, and the blade is too small. Some say that the flexible edge of the blade fits too tightly.

"...Like all things Kitchenaid, these are not universally interchangeable across different sized bowls." Read more

"...It also doesn't fit on the mixer like it should. It just sort of hangs there, but It doesn't fall off...." Read more

"Actually scrapes the bowl and fits the attachment pin well. We bake often and have used up a few. always order the same." Read more

"...sturdy enough, but it does make me a bit nervous to have such loose tolerances in such a strong mechanical device (my KA has the 1hp DC motor)...." Read more

343 customers mention61 positive282 negative

Customers are disappointed with the material of the kitchen beater. They mention that the paddle is made of hard plastic, the central white part is plastic, and the attachment is plastic rather than metal. Some say that the product feels cheap at first, but they like how light it is.

"The first thing I noticed was that the beater was plastic, not metal like the actual Kitchaid ones...." Read more

"...The fact that there is no metal core, but instead the *whole* unit is hard plastic, only adds to my concerns...." Read more

"...At first it felt cheap, but now I like how light it is and the fact it makes less noise (rattling around when stored in the bowl)...." Read more

"...I had serious doubts when it arrived and I saw the paddle was made out of hard plastic but decided to use it tonight to make the cookie dough for..." Read more

I *really* wanted to LOVE this product. I buy 'Made In The U.S.A.' as much as I can - why send our money to China when only a fraction of it comes back? But sadly the quality on this product is 50/50. It *IS* however a good value for the price, and performs its specified function - so I still recommend buying it.The problem I have with this unit is that the tolerances for the post/driveshaft are too loose. In the provided pictures you can clearly see that the KitchenAid attachment has a hole diameter of 12.89 (12.9)mm. The New Metro blade has a diameter of 13.34mm. This variance of over 0.4mm makes the New Metro blade loose, as you can see in the video. Although I did not perform specific measurements on the locking slot the New Metro blade seemed to have far too much play there, as well. When the mixer is on the force of the motor driving the blade keeps the blade on and it seems sturdy enough, but it does make me a bit nervous to have such loose tolerances in such a strong mechanical device (my KA has the 1hp DC motor). The fact that there is no metal core, but instead the *whole* unit is hard plastic, only adds to my concerns.That said, the fit of the actual wiper is excellent! In the last picture you can see me shining a light in the bowl - no light escapes past the wiper blade, showing how the blade makes great contact with the side of the mixing bowl. When the unit is attached and turned on the wiping action is readily apparent.Advice For The Company:1) Tighten up your tolerances a bit. Yes, I know that means you'll have to get new molds and that's expensive. But as I've measure the actual shaft of the KA at 12.65-12.7 this shouldn't be such a problem.2) Consider a metal core. I know that means the price will go up a bit, but I'd rather buy a mixing blade that will still be useful in 5 years for a few extra $ than one that is cheaper and going to break in that time period.3) You wiper blades are excellent, don't change those - even if you think it will help boost profit.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY - Here is why
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023
I purchased this beater with high hopes based on the reviews I saw, and used it only a handful of times before complete failure. The edges flaked immediately after using it (see photo) and today it completely failed where it attaches to the machine while making dough (see photo). Like I said it has been used only a handful of times. I looked up the warranty and the company only gives a 30 day warrantee against defects - this shows how much they stand behind their product - more like run away as fast as possible. I am dissapointed. I will stick to the attachments that came with the machine from now on.
