This is a great replacement...I've always had the white coated beaters, and over time, the white part starts to chip off. Now I don't have to worry about it!

I failed to notice the word "narrow" in the description of this beater. It doesn't fit correctly (too small) for my kitchenaid lift bowl mixer. I was so disappointed. Also stuck it in the dishwasher before using and the finish comes right off. Again, didn't do my research...can't be put in dishwasher! I ended up purchasing the correct beater at the official Kitchenaid site for same price but paid for shipping. Be sure you have a narrow bowl before throwing your money away like I did. My fault though!

I was nervous about ordering this because the picture shows a small protrusion coming out of where it would attach to the mixer, and my current beater does not have any such protrusion. However, based on other internet research it appeared to be the right beater for my mixer (K5AWW, which is a 5qt model with the bowl lift, not a tilt head model). Sure enough, the beater came and there was no protrusion and it fit my mixer fine.

This was a good replacement for my chipped-white beater. If you're looking at this product, you are probably trying to replace your chipped beater too! The "burnished" finish means I shouldn't have to ever replace this one...

This product is what it says it is, but it doesn't look like the picture. There is no white stuff to chip off. It is the perfect replacement to my former beater, which was starting to get gross after the white stuff began chipping off. Excellent!

I think this is a Kitchenaid beater, so it works just fine. I bought it to replace my original one, which was enamel over aluminum. The aluminum corroded under the enamel and swelled and cracked it. This one is just aluminum with no coating. The only issue will be to not run it through the dishwasher. I just hand wash it, no big deal. Hopefully it will outlast the mixer!
