Has anyone had both the lift stand mixer vs the tilt stand mixer? I was wondering which one is easier to work with.

I have the tilt head and bought my sister a lift one without realizing it. After baking at her house, I regret it. The bowl is VERY DIFFICULT to attach and detatch, and you need to detatch it in order to get to the stuff in the bowl since you can't tilt the head out of the way. The tilt head has a simple twist to get off the bowl. The lift head doesn't lift enough for you to mix the ingredients that went up on the sides back in or really do anything. I hear the lift is more powerful. If you're just making meringues and cookies, I'd definitely stick with the tilt head.

The lift stand mixers have a much better motor in them. making the head heavier, causing the design difference. The tilt head mixers don't compare to the lift models. I wouldn't trade my lift stand for a tilt model ever. The lift stands are just built so much better there isn't really a comparison.

This is for the tilt head mixers. They do make two others for the bowl lift mixers. I do love this blade. I hope one of the others will fit your mixer!

Looks the same as mine - I looked at the KitchenAid website, and they show no "pivot head" mixers - only tilt head mixers, so I can only guess that's what the bowl description really meant. If you order the bowl, specifically ask the order person if it will work on your machine model. If they say yes, and it doesn't when it arrives, notify them for a free return shipping label.

The instruction booklet addresses compatibility with tilt head AND bowl lift model mixers but does not mention any models by name with regards to compatibility. If I had to guess, I'd say it does but I can't be 100% positive because I've only got a Pro 500 model at home that I'm using it with.

I have an old 5qt mixer (the lift design like the 6qt) and that is what I got this sideswipe blade for.I have to tell you I do not like it as it is hard to get mix off.I never use it.If you want my opinion,don't get it as you will not be happy with it.

I bought this stand to use with a base I already had.It works just as well as any music stand in respect that you can tilt it !80 degrees no problem

Yes it fits the tilt mixer, there is a zipper on the back side that helps slip it on & there is also a pouch to hold a small book in the front if it. As far as attachments, I suppose you could keep them inside the bowl. I store mine separately.

I vote the tilt head. I have had mine for many years and have used the fixed head model at others' houses and was frankly surprised how little I liked it. I found placing the bowl very difficult on the fixed model and I also don't like having to remove the mixer element to remove the bowl and get access to the bowl for scraping.

A Kitchenaid Mixer (that would be the bowl and mixer unit or the "head" as you referred to that this attachment fits currently averages from $250 on a great sale to an more standardly average regular priced of $399. A standard 5 quart Kitchenaid mixer comes with a standard Flat Beater, Dough Hook, and Wire Whip attachments. Some include a pour shield too. They also include a bowl and depending on which one it would be stainless steel or glass. Although anything can be purchased separately and readily found. The mixer comes with everything you would need as a basic get by kit. However, what this listing is for is considered a upgraded mixing attachment that you would use on the few hundred dollar mixer you already have or buying along with this. This item fits the tilt top mixers. I hope this helped. I wish they only cost that much for the entire unit!

I have a tilt-head but the ice cream maker came with instructions for assembly with a bowl-lift design, so YES! :)

The lift bowl design is more ridged than the tilt head; this allows for a stronger motor and in the case of the Pro 600 and 5+ the use of the spiral dough hook. You only spill batter taking out the bowl if you try to take it out with the beater, whip or hook still in place. If you release the attachment first, you can take out the bowl out with only a slight tilt back and nothing spills. If you lift the head on the tilt head mixer so you can spin off the stuff on the beater, you are asking to get hurt. You could of course do this on the lift bowl mixer by lowering the bowl part way with one hand and controlling the motor with the other, but again, I don't recommend that. Either style of mixer does a very good job. I think that long term, the bowl lift is better than the tilt head. I have both; I use the lift bowl more.

Read the description. This is a bowl-lift model. The mixer DOES NOT tilt back.

Pamela, I have the 4.5 qt tilt head artesain mixer, and it fits just fine. I also have the flat beater/ scraper. It was a nice addition and has been very useful as well.

Thank you so much for the Overstock info. Your kindness made it possible for me to order this mixer, which I've been eyeing for 2 months. I am 60 and this will be my first stand mixer. Look out world!

If you click on the picture, Amazon takes you to the page for the LIFT stand mixer, and you have to select 5 or 6 quart. This will NOT fit a TILT stand mixer. I tried to search what I assume was the model of your mixer, but couldn't figure it out.if you have the tilt head model, this is the link New Metro Design Beater Blade Pro Food Service and Restaurant Use KitchenAid 5-Quart Tilt Head Models - Yellow with Grey Blades
