A waste of money as the other 1-star ratings have indicated.  This is not made for the kind of KitchenAid 5-quart Bowl Lift Mixer I have though I don't know how to have been any clearer when I ordered the item given their description.  Completely wrong size and because it's made of plastic bends.  A piece of junk (at least in my KitchenAid 5-quart Bowl Lift Mixer).
