I have had my mixer for a while and LOVE it.  However, I have had to stop using it with this attachment, and I used this attachment for so many things.  The silver plating has worn off (and I have only ever hand washed it).  If the connecting piece touches anything, a dark gray/black charcoal looking residue rubs off onto it.  This can't be good!
