Question: What is the frame of this beater made of? Metal or plastic?  Thanks!
Document: I was disappointed that the body of the beater is made of a light weight plastic material and not the metal that the other beaters which came with the mixer are made of.
Beater blades are the best - I use it for almost everything I mix! Cookies, brownies, cake, and more. It does break from time to time, I'm on my second one. It's made of plastic and not metal like the usual blades for kitchenaid - but overall I think it's a great design. It is not made by kitchenaid, so you will need to adjust your blade height so it doesn't snap the beater blade on your first use.
This beater blade is made from plastic. It works as stated, but just with making simple cake batters and batches of buttercreme, I've now gone through two of these beaters in the last 12 months. The plastic just doesn't hold up like the metal kitchenaid beaters do. KitchenAid FINALLY came out with a beater that has a scraper edge, and now that my second of these plastic ones have broken, I'm going to go spend a little more and get a KitchenAid one that will last.
I wasn't aware that the beater was made of plastic when I purchased this. In general I try to stay away from plastic and if I had known I wouldn't have purchased this beater. That being said, it works as stated. I've made a few different batches of cookies with it and it scraped the bowl perfectly. All the batter was mixed much better than just with the regular blade. If it was made of metal like the original one, it would get 5 stars.
It's made of plastic, not metal like the mixing blade that comes with the mixer, but it works perfectly. I love it!
Despite some of the reviews, my blade hasn't broken yet. It is made of plastic ( as opposed to metal ) so I am leery. But for now, all is good. As for its effectiveness, to works awesome!! Highly recommend
This was not very good when mixing anything. When using on slow speed, it spattered the mix right out to the bowl and didn't do a good job. We didn't dare try it on a medium or fast speed for fear of what might come of our kitchen. The white part is NOT metal as real Kitchen Aid products usually are, but plastic. The blades practically threw the bowl off the stand and made a terrible mess of everything.
This is an incredibly useful addition to my 6 qt KitchenAid mixer.I have one minor gripe and one potential worry ...Minor gripe: batter still gets stuck on the back of the blade, primarily caused by the nook that is created by the rubber portion of the paddle.Potential Worry: As others have said and photographed, the paddle is made of very lightweight plastic and not metal like most other attachments.
I thought this would be a nice addition to my new KitchenAid Professional 600 Series mixer (Model KP26M1XCE). I am disappointed with what was delivered.I thought I was buying a blade made of metal. It is plastic. When I attached it to my mixer and started it up (at a slow speed) the blade would keep hanging up on the side of the bowl until the oscillating drive shaft swung around.
LOVE this blade. However, I was disappointed that the beater blade is not metal. It is plastic and we will see how it holds up. So far so good.
Answer: Plastic.  But it is working good for me now.
