KitchenAid Durable Stand Mixer Attachment, Silver, K45WW

Needed to replace my wire whip for my ancient Kitchen Aid mixer. I just received it and it is as advertised. It is nice to be able to buy accessories for Kitchen Aid and not have to purchase a new expensive mixer - and it is nice that Walmart offers this product.

I love this head wire whip and use it for everything I make with my kitchen aide!

I'm disappointed at the the quality of this hook, especially that it comes with an expensive product. I bought the stand mixer 6 weeks ago and only started using the dough hook 3 weeks ago and it had already chipped. I handwash it with a soft sponge and handle it with care.

I love my kitchen aid but the chipped coating on my dough hook has me fuming. It has ruined my meals to be crunching through grainy pasta and god knows what chemicals we are eating. Am I supposed to replace these after each chip? If so you'd have to sell a monthly subscription! Why can't you sell a stainless steel hook of improve the resilience of the coating?

My last review was rejected by Kitchenaid because it "did not meet guidelines". Here is my new review. I am very concerned that the dough hook coating is peeling off, resulting in white chips of plastic in my bread dough. This has happened twice now & I have had to buy replacement parts. I think this accessory needs to be recalled & replaced with a non degrading hook.

my family gifted me the mixer that comes with this hook about 1.5 years ago. happily making bread every two weeks or so. In a recent batch of bread I spat out a film which i found a bit weird as i couldnt recognise where it was from, only to later realise its from the chipped hook. Have only hand-washed with a soft sponge since started using it and its not even that long. Came in here and realised im not the only one. Quite disappointed.

I bought the mixer and it comes with this tilt dough hook which fell out during the process(I pulled the hook when installed it to make sure it's securely attached) and the hook skin's peeled off and I threw the whole dough!

Took me a while to find, but this is the part number you want - KSM5THWWSS Stainless steel wires AND HUB - dishwasher safe. Heavy SS Hub. Not sure why Kitchen Aid would make and would sell this K45WW with Aluminum hub part that is inferior. Also not sure why it was so difficult to find this part number.

I have had my stand KitchenAid Mixer for 40+ years and love it. My original wirewhip attachment lasted 37 years. One of the wires came loose from the base so I ordered a replacement in July 2022 from KitchenAid. In just 3 years, that wirewhip has failed in the same way. I have ONLY washed this one by hand, as I read the other reviews saying that the new replacement parts are failing quickly and the inferior materials may be at fault, so I thought hand-washing was safer. I use the wire whip attachment on my mixer with whip about 1x/week, and this service life is unacceptable. I am extremely disappointed in this product, and now must order a 2nd replacement in a short period of time.

I just bought the "Passion Red 100 Year Limited Edition Queen of Hearts 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer." Unfortunately, the mixer came with what I believe is this exact attachment. I have never used the attachment, but when I rub my fingers on the wire portion of the whip/whisk they turn black/grey. I am led to believe that no portion of this is stainless steel. If it turns my fingers black/grey, what will it do when it comes into contact with food? I will never use the wire whip/whisk that came with my machine.
