New Metro KA-5LR Original Beater Blade Works w/ Most KitchenAid 5 Qt Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers, Red

Works great

This is my second purchase of a scraping mixer blade, but the first of this brand. My other was a cheaper, knock-off version that did the job, but I do notice a huge quality difference in this one. This feels so much sturdier. It works perfectly for my K4SS bowl lift model. It scrapes the sides perfectly and is SUCH a help when mixing any kinds of batters or frostings. Love it!!

Received as a Christmas gift and love this! I don’t have to worry about the flour at the bottom of the bowl and do not have to scrape the sides as often. I should have received this years ago! Every Kitchen Aid baker should have one!

I like these beater blades. I have owned a total of five. They do have a good warranty if you should break one in the warranty period. I have broken three of these blades due to my negligence. It is better that this beater blade broke instead of my motor on my mixer. Would recommend to a friend/family and would purchase again.

This is our second beater blade. We had to replace the previous one due to breakage. The weak point appears to be where it locks onto the mixer spindle. Plastic does have it's limits. Perhaps another blend of plastic or some reinforcement molded into that area would yield better results. It worked great for about 3 years with 3-4 times per week usage, probably well exceeding the manufacturers intended duty cycle. When it finally gave up and we had resort to the standard beater, it didn't take long before a new beater blade was on it's way to our kitchen. I'm not really sure how anyone ever got along with out these to wipe the sides of the mixer bowl down. Bottom line: Worth the price, just don't expect commercial durability.

First of all, I love to bake. The Metro Beater Blade did not meet my expectations. I was extremely disappointed 😞. I thought this blade would help scrap all sides of my Kitchen Aid mixing bowl, but unfortunately that is not what happened. I was making my banana bread that I have made many times with my regular Kitchen Aid paddle that does not have silicone edges. I thought buying one with the silicone edges on the paddle would help scrape the sides of the bowl. Boy was I disappointed. I started adding flour to my butter, sugar, and egg mixture on low speed. Every time I added a 1/4 of a cup of flour, the silicone edges of the paddle would throw the flour out of the bowl. I had more flour on me than I think the bowl contain. I had to quickly change back to my original mixing paddle before all my flour Landed all over my counter and on myself. Once I placed back on my original paddle, my flour stayed in the bowl and not on me and the counter. I would NEVER PURCHASE THIS ITEM AGAIN!

I am trying to write a review for the KA-6LR but it is linking to the KA-5LR. I actually have both the 5LR and the 6LR. I have both a Professional 5-qt Lift-Bowl Itchen-Aid mixer that is over 20 years old, and a refurbished 7-qt Professional Lift Bowl Kitchen-Aid mixer. I have used the KA-5LR for several years now and have about three on hand at any time to be able to switch beween different cake batters without having to wash the paddle in between. Same for the American Buttercream Frosting I make which can be made from soft to stiff depending on my cake design needs. I was thrilled to find that there is now a KA-6LR for the standard 7-quart Lift Bowl mixer as one has not been on AMAZON before. I purchaed one and I will be purchasing a couple of more for the same reasons I have listed for the 5LR. I absolutely LOVE the 6LR rubber sided paddle. It fits the 7-qt bowl snuggly which I thought would be a problem, but it did absolutely fantastic on my double batch (4-lbs confectioner sugar) frosting at stiff consistency. I do not need to scrape the bowl anymore, but I do have to scrape the beater halfway through the mixing cycle because dry flour, mix or sugar can sometimes get caked on the sides of the rubber. But no big deal. So easy to use. Both the 5LR and the 6LR are heavier than the past models - much improved. I have only had one problem with an early model 5LR where the rubber pulled away from the plastic paddle, but none of those problems since my first one. I have only broken one 5LR when I didn't have it on the mixer completely and was mixing dough. It broke when it came off when the dough was too stiff . Totally my mistake.

This this is the second mixer paddle KA – 5L that I have purchased. When they’re new, they work great, the rubber scraper on the edge is really wonderful when you’re making icing. However, they are made of plastic. The first one broke within the first year, the second one lasted just over five years. I am now going to invest in an aluminum paddle with rubber blades instead of another plastic one. Please note this paddle is for the non-tip KitchenAid mixer. It is for the stand mixer.

It does what it says on the packet! it scraped down the sides and bottom beautifully with very minimal scraping by me. It mixed really well.

Una pala totalmente plastica, pero que es muy util para que no queden restos en el fondo ni en las paredes del bol

Der Rührer ist nicht aus Metall, was mich etwas überrascht hat. Somit kommen nur sehr leichte Teige für ihn in Frage. Die roten Gummiränder nehmen aber alles gut vom Rand der Schüssel mit. Das ist eine echte Verbesserung zu dem anderen Rührer aus Metall. Ich würde es gut finden, wenn es den Rührer aus Metall mit den Gummirändern geben würde. Aber insgesamt würde ich das Teil empfehlen.

Es muy buena, hasta mejor que la original, se me rompió a los 1-2 años pero compré otra porque la uso al menos 3 veces por semana sin falta y todo el año, raspa todo hasta el fondo del bowl y mezcla todo más rápido, mucho mejor que la original👍🏻🌟

La pieza es de buena calidad y ligera para la máquina batidora. Cubre muy bien las orillas de la vasija mezcladora y es resistente. Recomiendo este producto.
