This would be great if it worked. http://www.sideswipeblade.com/ Fri Jan 04 12:41:21 -0800 2008 39874 chowser 1 3261572 Looks very interesting. Can't imagine that it wouldn't work, obviously not going to work equally well for all mixing chores (nothing does!). I wonder why KA didn't buy 'em out... Fri Jan 04 13:13:56 -0800 2008 3261412 87093 renov8r 2 3262559 KA probably didn't buy them out because they also fit hamilton beach and cuisinart mixers. it's funny, one of the things i like better about my cuisinart than the KA is that the blades/utensils get much closer to the sides & bottom of the bowl, so i wouldn't even see the need to get one for a cuisinart.

At $25 seems steep but I haven't priced kitchen aides yet. Fri Jan 04 18:54:58 -0800 2008 3261412 77397 Eric in NJ 2 3289412 This isn't a replacement paddle... it's a sleeve that fits over your existing paddle. Sat Jan 12 17:38:10 -0800 2008 3262660 28006 Jennalynn 3 3289615 No!! It is a replacement. You don't use the old paddle. This is a paddle in itself. Sat Jan 12 19:14:02 -0800 2008 3289412 77397 Eric in NJ 1 3262855 I saw this before xmas, now I'm waiting for the version that fits mine, the video on the site is pretty convincing. Fri Jan 04 20:25:42 -0800 2008 3261412 10784 Scrapironchef 1 3264720 Chowser, I have never sen or heard of them but I am defiantly interested in obtaining them to try. I wish KA would drop the silly white plastic coating on the paddle blade, and just sell them with a polished finish, like they do on the Hobart and current commercial stuff. I took a razer blade and cut the coating off my home 5 Qt professional mixer at home. Sat Jan 05 14:37:10 -0800 2008 3261412 22220 Kelli2006 2 3552494 The Pro models do have polished aluminum attachments. Wed Apr 02 07:12:14 -0700 2008 3264720 12023 Hungry Celeste 1 3265129 I just ordered one I'll let you know how it works. Sat Jan 05 17:18:06 -0800 2008 3261412 77397 Eric in NJ 2 3265361 nice. way to take one for the team, eric :) Sat Jan 05 18:40:25 -0800 2008 3265129 103920 goodhealthgourmet 3 3279201 Well...I ordered one up on the 6th and it came in the mail today. Looks good, it's light weight made mostly of nylon and silicone but the connection point to the mixer is aluminum. Haven't used it yet but the weekend is coming. Wed Jan 09 17:25:24 -0800 2008 3265361 77397 Eric in NJ 4 3279277 That was fast! Let us know how it works. Thanks! Wed Jan 09 17:46:57 -0800 2008 3279201 39874 chowser 4 3279741 great. looking forward to the review! Wed Jan 09 20:38:11 -0800 2008 3279201 103920 goodhealthgourmet 4 3288737 OK, I threw together a Smoked Salmon spread today and this thing works great. Completely sweeps the sides clean and gets that crazy bottom bump clean too. Seems like a good product to me. They say it is top rack dishwasher safe but washing it by hand was no problem. Sat Jan 12 13:14:58 -0800 2008 3279201 77397 Eric in NJ 5 3288824 I'm so glad to hear your review! I've been see sawing back and forth whether to pull the trigger on this one. But if you say it can scrape the side clean from cream cheese... seems like a good product! Sat Jan 12 13:40:05 -0800 2008 3288737 28006 Jennalynn 6 3289618 A friend came over later today with a cake and used it to make a butter cream icing and it was fantastic. Sat Jan 12 19:15:12 -0800 2008 3288824 77397 Eric in NJ 4 3487133 I just got one too -- the damn thing actually works! Wed Mar 12 17:57:45 -0700 2008 3279201 158897 inarges 1 3271846 I received this reply from Sideswipe today, " Hi Kelli, SideSwipe is available only on our website right now. You'll have to wait to order, however, because we have yet to introduce the larger SideSwipe for your bowl-lift mixer. To be notified when it becomes available, please register for our newsletter at our store, www.frutproductsstore.com. Thanks for your interest in SideSwipe! " Mon Jan 07 18:47:57 -0800 2008 3261412 22220 Kelli2006 2 3274390 Thanks--I'll have to wait for it, too. Tue Jan 08 12:34:54 -0800 2008 3271846 39874 chowser 1 3547410 I received one of these blades for my 5 qt artisan the January. After only 3 months of very light use, two of the silicone "fingers" have torn from the paddle. When I say light use, I'm talking once a week on average, mixing a variety of things from heavy molasses cookie dough to light cupcake batter in large batch sizes. While it was still in one piece, it did do a fairly decent job of cleaning the sides of the blades. When used at high speeds it generates a lot of noise and vibration, as the orbital action of the machine whacks it against the side of the bowl. I've reverted to my standard paddle for now. I'm going to complain to SideSwipe, but I don't really want a replacement unless they change the material they use or improve otherwise. Mon Mar 31 16:57:20 -0700 2008 3261412 179654 scissorfighter 2 3547595 Might be defective. Ours gets allot of use and nothing wrong with it yet. I don't put it in the dishwasher...I hand wash only. Mon Mar 31 18:12:35 -0700 2008 3547410 77397 Eric in NJ 2 3548481 After posting this message last night, I contacted SideSwipe. They are very interested in replacing the blade (even picking up the shipping charges both ways,) and inspecting the old one. Kudos to them for good customer service. Tue Apr 01 05:12:39 -0700 2008 3547410 179654 scissorfighter 3 3839983 That's good to hear. I can't wait to get mine. There was a mention of a competing product in the NY Times a couple of weeks ago. This one is a sleeve not a replacement paddle: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=beater+blades I'm waiting for the Side Swipe. Fri Jul 04 18:55:20 -0700 2008 3548481 184560 jocelyng 1 3985935 I bought one last week and I love it. I keep coming up with more reasons to use it. It works wonders with cake batter and icing. No need to scrape down the bowl during the middle of mixing. Depending on how full the bowl is, you may need to scrap the very top of the bowl. Dry ingredients fly up sometimes and get stuck there. I highly recommend this new attachment! Mon Aug 25 14:14:04 -0700 2008 3261412 221509 intricate icings 1 3986403 The domain is abandoned right now, I never did get a notice that they had come up with a blade for my model mixer. Amazon is carrying a full line by a company called "Beaterblade" that seems to have stolen a march on Sideswipe. http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&search-alias=garden&field-brandtextbin=BeaterBlade Mon Aug 25 16:53:32 -0700 2008 3261412 10784 Scrapironchef 2 4003830 Link back up as of today, but they still don't have one to fit my model and it's past mif -2008. sigh. Tue Sep 02 13:01:00 -0700 2008 3986403 10784 Scrapironchef 3 4013592 Scrapironchef: What mixer are you using that the scraper won't attach to? Sat Sep 06 13:28:36 -0700 2008 4003830 224253 greenbaker 4 4018454 KPM5, LIft type. Mon Sep 08 15:01:26 -0700 2008 4013592 10784 Scrapironchef 5 4023048 Isn't that a 5-quart mixer? If so, you need the KA-5L. Costco used to sell these these mixers but now everyone does. Wed Sep 10 07:48:42 -0700 2008 4018454 224253 greenbaker 6 4067741 Sideswipe hasn't released a blade yet to fit the 5qt lifters. The date keeps slipping on their site. Sun Sep 28 11:18:18 -0700 2008 4023048 10784 Scrapironchef 5 4077113 Go to Amazon, they have one that fits both lift and tilt. Thu Oct 02 11:05:21 -0700 2008 4018454 115579 Mother of four 6 4080294 That is a simple vertical blade on the outside, I've seen them - see my post above. The sideswipe actually forces the contents of the bowl down. Fri Oct 03 15:50:36 -0700 2008 4077113 10784 Scrapironchef 7 4082112 They have gotten very good reviews. I have one waiting to go to FL. where I have a tilt head KA. I have a lift here in MI., so if I like it I will get one for here next summer. Sat Oct 04 17:01:37 -0700 2008 4080294 115579 Mother of four 1 4160919 I didn't think to scan for comments on these until now, didn't even know they existed until a couple weeks ago. I just bought a "BeaterBlade+" which looks more plasticky than the Sideswipe.....Haven't tried it yet..... www.beaterblade.com Sun Nov 09 20:50:00 -0800 2008 3261412 128485 smalt 2 4164452 I just used it, and it works great!!
