Works great with KSM6573

I have the KSM6573, narrow 6.5 qt bowl lift mixer. This is my favorite accessory! Lets me beat eggs, cream butter & sugar, etc. then remove, add to the large bowl full of dry ingredients and swap to the standard whisk, dough hook or paddle and go! Saves my spare standard size bowl for the next thing I'm making. Used to haul out my KA stick blender to beat eggs, etc, when recipes called for doing wet ingredients & dry separately before mixing them together, but it wasn't quite the right tool, and meant more things to assemble/wash/dissemble and clutter up the counter & sink as I worked. This is also great for making a quick batch of whipped cream for a dessert, meringue for a single pie, and even adding some air & blending ingredients with eggs for an omelet or casserole. Am thinking about ordering another one, just to have on hand when I do holiday cookies, so I can quickly make multiple batches of frostings in different colors & flavors without having to stop and wash & dry everything in between. It was a little tough to get on/off the pins the first few times I used it. I just put a little vegetable oil on my finger and rubbed on the pins, so it went on/off more easily. After that, the holes kind of smoothed out, and I no longer need to do that, it goes on/off easy-peasy. Though the whisk doesn't have as many wires as I'd prefer, it does a great job, just give it a few more seconds than you would when using the larger bowl & standard whisk to produce the same results. Also, shallower bowl means you need to start at a lower speed until you start seeing things begin to thicken & peak. If you crank it up to high speed immediately, like you can do with the large bowl & whisk, you'll get some spatters out of the bowl.

Having a smaller bowl that fits my 6 qt mixer for those smaller projects is great! Many complain about the larger bowls being too big for whipping up small amounts of icing or eggs...small amounts of anything. The complaints are that the bowl is too big for the beater or whips to really mix and whip ingredients well without leaving lots of unmixed ingredients at the bottom of the bowl. This bowl can help with that concern. The whip is large and the bowl is shorter. You can really get those ingredients mixed together well without having to use a large bowl. NOW, all we need, KitchenAid is a coated or stainless steel beater to fit this bowl!

Love This!

I have this to use with my 6 qt lift stand mixer. Great for whipping eggs or when making smaller recipes. I only wish that I could get the paddle attachment to use with this bowl.

Favorite KA accessory
on September 16, 2020
Posted by: CM Frisco
from Texas
This is a game changing add on for those of us who opted for the larger capacity KA models and love the capabilities but feel limited by the massive bowl. The cobo makes smaller recipes and whipping lower quantities easy, fast, with better results over a hand mixer. Fits my 6qt bowl lift like a glove, and may cause me to part with my original 4.5qt classic plus, recoup some cupboard space. Heartily recommended!

Perfect for my needs

Fits my 6qt Pro perfectly. Didn't have to make any adjustments. Perfect for small batches like cake mix or just beat eggs. Combo whip seems sturdy and well made. Happy to have the smaller bowl for smaller tasks. Combo whip seems to be a cross between the wire wisk and flat beater. Not meant for use with thicker batters like bread. Perfect for my needs.

Nice Smaller Option for 7 Qt Lift Stand Mixer
on February 3, 2022
Posted by: GoumetGeekGirl
from Sun City, AZ
I like this for the option to make a small batch of cookies which worked fine for me in spite of it not having a beater attachment. I have not tried it for whipping yet. I also bought the 3 qt mixer covers. I use one on my 3 qt bowl and one on my 7 qt bowl since it sits inside with enough room to fit the pouring shield on top while keeping the attachments clean inside.

Not compatible after being told it was
on January 3, 2023
Posted by: TootsMcGee
from PNW
I took the time to ask the experts at kitchenaid via this website if this bowl is compatible with my stand mixer. They replied promptly that it was compatible; sadly' it does not fit and now I'm stuck dealing with the hassle of returning the bowl.
Here is my question and the reply from kitchenaid:
Is this compatible with KSM5BBU? And, if it is not compatible can you suggest another smaller bowl that would work? Thank you very much for your help.

Received the bowl today and it doesn't fit. I have inquired 2 separate times whether this bowl would fit my mixed KSM5PPWH both times I was told yes. It looks like it may be defective. Sending it back. When I asked if we should exchange it I was told no send it back then re order.
