KitchenAid GMA Grain Mill Attachment for Stand Mixers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This attachment reveals a design flaw in the Kitchenaid Mixer design. Inside every Kitchenaid Mixer you have a transmission/gearbox that drive both the mixer and the accessory drive shaft. This gearbox has a PLASTIC cover that holds all the gears in place.
The grain mill attachment places the *most* stress on your kitchenaid, more than any other attachment you can buy. What happens is when you're grinding wheat, it heats up that gearbox and the plastic cover starts to flex, and if you run it more than 10 minutes it'll heat up enough to break the plastic.
I bought this attachement for my wife for Christmas 2004. It broke the transmission and stripped the gears on the mixer in January. We removed the cover and saw the cracked plastic. Kitchenaid promptly sent a replacement mixer even though ours was "out of warranty". This tells me that they KNOW about their design flaw.
We got our shiny new Kitchenaid Mixer the next week. My wife took it out of the box, attached the grain mill and started it grinding flour. Within 10 minutes the plastic cover failed on the new one. Kitchenaid sent out a new one, again. We're now on our third mixer and we're looking to get a refund from Kitchenaid for the Grain Mill so we can go out and buy a real wheat grinder.
It's really sad. All Kitchenaid needs to do is put a metal gearbox cover on the transmission and you could grind wheat into flour non-stop. I can't believe that they're willing to stake their good name on a plastic part!

New Metro Design Beater Blade for 5-Quart KitchenAid Tilt-Head Mixers, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

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. Engineered for use with top-brand electric stand mixers, such as those offered by KitchenAid, the BeaterBlade will work with any tilt-head mixer, no matter its size, age, or power level.
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 6 x 0.8 inches.

Wrap-And-Mat Food Pouch and Eating Mat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a product I really wanted to like. It's a wonderful idea but didn't work out quite so well in real life. The wrap mat does keep the sandwich fresh but doesn't protect it from the other items floating in my son's lunchbox, such as milk or apples.
It needs to be hand-washed with warm, soapy water and left to air dry - which means you can't wash it at the last minute. In a pinch, just wipe down the plastic liner. I did try machine washing and drying, with unsuccessful results. (For those of you who want to know what happened, the plastic shrinks and warps.)
If I were to redesign this product, I would try a laminated fabric used for high-quality cloth-diaper covers. This would make the product machine washable and more durable overall.
Meanwhile, I've gone back to the plastic sandwich box, and it's working out just fine. BTW, no one should be using plastic bags for sandwiches anymore...

Entirely Earth friendly, the Wrap And Mat serves as both a food wrapper and a clean surface for eating school lunches, pic-nics, or office lunches. Meant to replace landfill-clogging plastic baggies, the Wrap And Mat is reusable. A Velcro closure keeps contents securely pouched. When opened, the Mat measures 13 by 13 inches, so there's plenty of room to lay out an entree and sides, keeping everything together on a clean surface. Patented with a plastic liner inside, the Wrap cleans up completely without any fabric weave or pores that can harvest bacteria. Wash the Wrap And Mat easily and quickly at home in the sink with the dishes and let it air dry.

KitchenAid K45DH Dough Hook Replacement for KSM90 and K45 Stand Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love, love, love our Kitchenaid mixer, but I'm not thrilled with the quality of the dough hooks - I'm about to order our 3rd in less than 12 months. The enamel cracks on the end of the hook, and I'm afraid that using it risks chips of enamel ending up in the finished dough. Granted - they're only $15 to replace, but I don't feel like I should need to replace it so frequently... I'd happily pay quite a bit for a stainless steel one.
