The blade probably deserves 5 stars as it is SS and very heavy-duty. Unfortunately, I can not use it b/c it doesn't fit my mixer. I could have sworn when I ordered this, it indicated it was the right blade for my mixer. (Model #'s both start with KSM5..). But this blade's stem is too short.
The product data on this page does NOT indicate which model mixer it is for & KA had SOOO many different model #'s.
