MITCHENIFY Spring and Washer Kit Fit for Kitchenaid Mixer, Quick Install Replacement Accessories and Upgrade Parts, 4 Packs

Works as advertised

Works as good as the original. Fit correctly, and still going strong.

This is an inexpensive upgrade that makes a noticeable difference. It is easy to install, less than 2 minutes and it improves the fitment of the mixer attachments on the mixer attachment shaft. The attachments no longer have up and down slop and the spring keeps the attachments in the proper position. If there are dense clumps at the bottom of the mixing bowl, the mixing attachments would rid up the shaft the 3/16" or so of play and not incorporate the ingredients well. We would have to scrape the bottom of the bowl to bring the clumps up to the top and then start mixing again. Now the attachments stay down and do not rid up and down the shaft, providing a more consistent mix without having to stop the mixer, lift the head, scrape the bowl, lower the head and start mixing again. This has been a great addition to our mixer and I wish we would have know about adding the spring to the attachment shaft years ago.

I got a lift, 7qt kitchen aid for Christmas, but noticed it doesn't have a spring, and the attachments seems like they'd come off easily. So we bought this, and it does seem to give the attachments a better grip, HOWEVER, my Pastry paddle and double sided silicone paddle really has to be lifed up, in order to attach to the mixture. Hopefully, that won't cause the mixture any damage.

Cheapest and easiest way to install a spring. You can definitely buy better quality ones, but that requires teardown of kitchenaid. Took 20 seconds to install. Could use a stiffer spring.

Ease of installation

Great product works as good as the higher priced ones

Super easy to install, split spring, twist on shaft and split ring, twist it on and flatten washer back.
