I love my Kitchen Aid mixer and use it often. The last two days I've spent making Valentine cookies for  grade school party next week. Tonight I noticed a  large chip of enamel has come off my white coated flat beater. But where is the chip? I'm just sick to think the chip is somewhere in the cookies and I'll need to toss them all. Now I'm reading all the reviews about enamel flat beaters chipping? I'm so disappointed that KitchenAid hasnt resolved this problem! Think twice before you invest in this classic mixer.
