The shield is flimsy. Doesn't stay on well. Awkward to use. Doesn't save much on clean up time or the mess.

Highly recommended for easily and "neatly" pouring ingredients into the running lift style mixer. Without the shield, I often end up making a mess of the mixer, bowl, and counter.

Although I originally bought the pour shield with the thought of containing "floating flour dust clouds" before using my new KA stand mixer, I have found upon use that the KA KG25H3X lift mixer's design already prevents this issue, rendering the shield unnecessary for escaping flour puffs.

But I love it for allowing the extra room to pour in ingredients. It seems to make the process much easier and less awkward for me. It lifts and expands the receiving area to a much more generous size. I'm very glad I bought it and found this unexpected benefit.

My original shield had two pieces which covered the whole bowl.The kitchenaid knips 1 does not cover the whole bowl. It leaves about a six inch opening which allows escape of dry products during the mixing process

I have an older model KitchenAid Lift Stand mixer K5SS that I have used consistantly for 15+ years now. It did not come with a shield. Any of the retail outlets that carried KitchenAid claimed that this shield would not fit my mixer. Instead of buying one and trying it, I just regularly ended up redecorating the kitchen "Jackson Pollack Style" (from his "cake batter period".) Well, thanks to amazon.com's easy return policy, I became fearless and decided to try this shield. YES it fits the older K5SS series perfectly! wOOt! More cakes! Why did I wait?!? Washing up one extra piece with your bowl really beats scrubbing down the walls. And the cabinets. And the floors. And innocent bystanders. This is well worth it. If you don't have this shield, you should buy one now. When you get it you should immediately go find a recipe for a nummy Guinness chocolate cake to bake as your reward for purchasing this item. (second favorite tres leches cake!)

Shield just sits on bowl. It doesn't snap on it just floats. I also bought the lids and they do the same thing. They have so many bowls that they make it universal so it fits nothing!!!!!! Called KitchenAid and they said thats the way they fit and we had the right one. I will never buy anything else KitchenAid.

This shield works very well to eliminate spatters and flour dust on other items in my kitchen.

We purchased this for my MIL for her birthday. She loves it! My husband loves it because it encourages her to bake for him!

At first it was confusing to which shield was the right one for our machine. An on line chat with a the customer service rep. asking which one will fit the 5kss machine, got us the right shield. It works great and makes it much easier to add ingreadents to the machine

Although there is a small gap in the coverage area along the top on this particular model, this shield does help keep the powder sugar clean-up to a minimum. I still drape a towel over the back portion of mixer covering the gap but on the whole I find it quite helpful. This mixer is wonderful for all mixing tasks, but recently I have been using it primarily for buttercream icing .

Great price for this shield. AAA+++ rating for transaction, delivery and product. Why go anywhere else. Amazon.com has it all.
