Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Being a new KitchenAid stand mixer owner, I've been having an incredibly hard time finding out which of their accessories go with which item. Specifically, I own the KitchenAid KP26M1PSL Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Silver but I've been reading horror stories about KA accessories and find most of it to be true. KitchenAid really does need to find some kind of naming convention to help consumers find the right accessory for their products. I know that they give you a nice booklet with a chart of which accessory matches which mixer in each KitchenAid box, but it doesn't help... The KA pouring shield comes in 2 models (obviously since there are dozens of models floating out there). While I'm not sure if these 2 covers will fit all models, my research has led me to a list of what model stand mixers that these will work on. With that said, my research comes from KA Online Support Help... KitchenAid's two models and their compatibilities are as follows; I've even included a direct link to them on Amazon. Pay attention to the model numbers!! KN1PS KitchenAid KN1PS 1-Piece Pouring Shield for Accolade 400 Stand Mixers - Fits all KitchenAid tilt-head stand mixers as well as K5, KP50, KSMS and KG bowl-lift models which include: K45, K45SS, KSM75, KSM90, KSM95, KSM100, KSM103, KSM110, K4SS, K5(A), K5SS, KG25G7X, KG25H0X, KG25H3X, KP50PS, KSM450, KSM455, KSM5, KSM50HDP, KSM500. KN256PS KitchenAid 1-Piece Pouring Shield with Wide Chute - Fits KitchenAid bowl-lift stand mixer models KB, KD, KP, KT and KV. As for the review of the shield, I'm reviewing specifically KN256PS KitchenAid 1-Piece Pouring Shield with Wide Chute (NOT the KN1PS). The shield is wonderful! It fits the mixer perfectly and helps you keep anything & everything from splattering out of the bowl while the stand mixer is doing its job. The wide chute is especially helpful so that you can get more ingredients in without making a mess. As a bonus, it's 1 piece and is top rack dishwasher-safe... making cleanup a cinch. The reason I had to buy it is because the model mixer I got, although a Professional 600, did not come with the shield. If you'd like to know more about it, just look up my other review based on that mixer. Not sure if I can hyperlink it within a review, but it's easily findable if you just look at my past review history. Hope this review helps you!
