Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was excited when I first received this mixer for Christmas 2017, since I love to bake. Sadly, I've found that unless I hand fold any and ALL dry ingredients under liquids and/or already moistened ingredients, the dry ingredients fly everywhere, even at the lowest speed, and even with all of the various mixing attachments. Same happens when adding additional wet ingredients -- must hand fold them under other ingredients, else everything flies everywhere! This mixer makes all of my baking projects take much longer to complete, due to having to hand fold in all ingredients. I never had to do that with my old Oster stand mixer. I considered purchasing the shield, until I read the many POOR reviews and that it only 'kind of fits' on the metal bowls and usually flies off. I would like my new stand mixer to be functional, rather than just pretty for display. Perhaps KitchenAid would consider designing a shield that actually works, fits, and stays put on both the glass and metal bowls...? OR providing a LOWER Low speed, that will actually GENTLY stir ingredients. I highly doubt that this product design was ever properly tested.
