I've owned my KitchenAid stand mixer for about 12 years. I do not use it that often, although I absolutely love the appliance. It's just to say that not having used this attachment in those 12 years all that much, I am not happy that the paint chipped off and presumably ended up in my food. I would not buy this again. Instead I'll get the stainless steel one that cost more than double the amount of money.
