About this item
-
✅ AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT (NOT OEM): Karoxy stainless steel beater paddle designed to fit KitchenAid 4.5 & 5.0 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixers. This is a third-party replacement part, not manufactured by or affiliated with KitchenAid or Whirlpool Corporation.
-
✅ THE 10-SECOND FIT CHECK: Does the mixer head tilt back, and is the bowl bigger than 3.5 quarts? If yes to both, this beater fits. KitchenAid builds beaters by machine family rather than by model number, so every tilt-head mixer in the K45 family shares the same beater shaft — including K45SS (also sold as K45SSWH white and K45SSOB onyx black), KSM75, KSM90, KSM150 / KSM150PS, KSM180 and KSM50PK (Artisan Plus). See the full model list →
-
❌ DOES NOT FIT: Bowl-lift mixers (K5SS, KSM55, KSM60, KSM70, KP26M1X Professional 600, KSM7581 Pro Line) or the Artisan Mini 3.5 qt (KSM3311X / KSM3316X). Those take a different beater.
-
⚠️ CHECK YOUR SUFFIX IF YOU HAVE A "KSM50": KSM50PK / KSM50PKVX is the Artisan Plus tilt-head and this beater fits. KSM50P / KSM50PWH is the Professional 5 bowl-lift and it does not. The letter K after 50P is the tell.
-
✅ 304 FOOD-GRADE STAINLESS STEEL: No chipping, no toxic coating, no rust. Solid one-piece construction - more durable than coated paddles that flake into food over time.
-
✅ EFFORTLESS CLEANING: Dishwasher safe. Smooth polished finish prevents dough buildup. Quick rinse under water also works.
-
✅ EASY 4-STEP INSTALLATION: Line up safety pin → push up → twist right → done. Fits securely in seconds. Perfect for baking cookies, cakes, bread, mashed potatoes, and creaming butter.

Also called: KitchenAid mixer blade · flat beater attachment · beater paddle · mixing blade. They all mean this same part — the flat paddle that clips onto the shaft under the mixer head. (Not to be confused with KitchenAid's hub-powered attachments such as pasta rollers or food grinders, which are a different category.)
