De’Longhi Chef XL AT502

The innovative plastic body and removable wiper of the Creaming Beater make for a fast working tool that's perfect for the most delicate cake mixes and toppings. Its pliable wings work around the sides of the bowl to ensure an even consistency throughout the mix. Review: Excellent product from Kenwood - Excellent item - so far have had no rejected sponges and can only attribute this to the Creaming Beater. Well made (although expected from Kenwood) and easy to clean. Works well, not too heavy and fits nicely into the mixer. Review: What we've all been waiting for! - This is a superb gadget. I've had my Chef for over twenty years. In business jargon I would say that this beater represents a step-function improvement in performance! It wipes the sides of the bowl as it beats. I have found that 1) It saves time and effort in not having to stop the machine to wipe around and incorporate mixture that the K beater blade used to miss 2) It seems to be more efficient, taking less time to mix 3) It is much better with small quantities than the standard K beater 4) All this AND it's okay in the dishwasher. It's a bit of a fiddle at first mastering putting the silicon blade on and off for the wash, but very simple once you get the knack of stretching it a little. It comes with a spare spindle so it can match earlier machines like mine which have a small O ring. It's easy to spot which one you need and very easy to change and adjust to make a good fit with your bowl. All of my Kenwood owning friends are jealous and want to get one. Happy baking everyone!
