What Customers Are Saying
The pouring shield for the stand mixer appears to have significant design flaws, as it frequently falls off the bowl or fails to fully cover the pouring area. Many users report having to hold the shield in place while mixing, negating its intended purpose. The shield also does not seem to effectively contain spills and splatters, allowing ingredients to still make a mess. Overall, the consensus is that this accessory is poorly designed and does not function as intended.

Would Not RecommendDoes not fit well. Pops off when mixing. Useless.

Terrible
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I could give this zero stars. It does not fit properly. When used, it pops off the bowl and rattles. Each time I use the mixer, I try to use this shield and end up getting completely frustrated and disenchanted with the product.

Terrible Product Design
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a hobbyist baker and was excited to receive the KitchenAid Stand mixer. It is great. However, I wish I had read the reviews before I purchased the plastic pouring shield. It simply does not work. It doesn't fit right and causes more of a problem with flour going everywhere than it solves. I am highly disappointed that I wasted my money on this attachment.

Utterly useless!!!
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Terrible design! It doesn't fit securely to the bowl and even when it is "in place", the pour spout is extremely small and doesn't butt up to the bowl so you are STILL getting flour everywhere, even though you can only add the tiniest quantity at one time. Plus, the slightest bump or jiggle (like, say, when a mixer is MIXING) the stupid thing literally falls off!!! I am extremely disappointed in this accessory.

Awful & frustrating
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Doesn't fit and CONSTANTLY comes loose and jangles around. It adds a massive amount of frustration EVERY time I use what is otherwise a wonderful mixer. I hate this accessory so much.

Does not fit
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought the shield online and couldn'5 believe it wouldn't fit my stand mixer! I thought it must be the wring size but it is supposedly for a 4.5 OR 5 quart. I have a 5qt. Extremely disappointed and wished I had read all the reviews so I wouldn'5 waste my time and money. Hopefully with enough poor reviews Kitchenaid will make a separate shield for the 5qt.

Everything about the mixer is well designed, except this.
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Do not understand why they even sell this item. Terrible design, does not fit and warped so will not even rest on the mixing bowl.

Pouring Shield doesn't fit right
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just received the pouring shield for my 5 qt. mixing bowl. The shield does not fit. Not even close to being a snug fit. Falls off if bumped or hit accidentally while using mixer. Very disappointed in product and will be returning.

Poor quality and worse design
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like many of my fellow reviewers, I came to this site to look for instructions on how to attach the pouring shield for my daughter's new 5-quart Artisan. As I began to read the reviews, I quickly realized that the problem was not her inability to attach the shield but the shield itself. It astounds me that a supposedly high-quality appliance would have such an obviously cheap and poorly designed accessory. This mixer was a Christmas gift for m...

Doesn't fit
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I LOVE my mixer, I went to use the pouring shield today and it doesn't fit at all. This came with my mixer, not bought separately. I am very disappointed as I was looking forward to using it.

Doesn't fit
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to fit my new KSM95 stand mixer. It doesn't fit. It is loose, falls off if you bump it, and has a huge opening facing the mixer, which just allows stuff to fly around. Biggest issue though is the lack of fit. You have to carefully push and pull until it's balanced precariously on the rim. The first time anything moves, it falls.

Pouring Shield
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After years of wanting a Kitchen Aid Mixer, I finally purchased one. I cannot get the pouring shield to stay on the bowl. It does not fit. I have researched my problem and it seems I am not the only one. I guess it is just good to keep flour, etc. from flying out of bowl.

Does this even work????
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a Kitchenaid Artisan KSM150PSER for an early Christmas present for myself. I have wanted one for years and was eagerly anticipating making my Christmas cookies with it. One if the features that I was excited about was the pouring shield. from day one it has never stayed on the bowl. As soon as you put it on, it will pop off and go flying off the counter. With the reputation that Kitchenaid has for making such quality equipment, I ...

Unusable product
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased my first Kitchenaid stand mixer--an Artisan model. The fit and finish of the mixer and the various attachments is pretty good--with the exception of this pouring shield. The design does not fit the mixing bowl that well, and does not secure itself to the bowl in any way. The poor design combined with the off-center weight distribution means it half falls into the bowl if you look at it wrong. Thankfully I discovered this be...

What a disappointment
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My K45SS mixer is one of the best applicances I ever owned. 23 years and still going strong. One thing we never had was a pour shield. My wife purchased one yesterday and we thought it would be great. FAIL! it does not fit the bowl properly. Falls off. Certainly a departure from the quality I have come to expect from Kitchenaid.

Doesn't fit!
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just received my first KitchenAid stand mixer yesterday. I am so frustrated to discover that the splash guard does not stay on. After a quick Google, I have found that this is a problem with all of these mixers. I am so disappointed.

Completely useless
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just unbound my new Model 600 Professional stand mixer and find the pouring sheild which came with it to be useless as it will not stay in place. It is warping and cannot possibly be used. I checked the site and see the same complaint from everyone else. I just made a once in a lifetime investment for this machine after years of wanting one and I am deeply disappointed. This was one of my must have attachments.

Don't waste your money
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this with my Artisan as an early Christmas present. I wish I had checked reviews first, as I am having the same issues everyone else leaving reviews is. It falls off with the slightest touch. Absolutely useless. Look for an aftermarket that is willing to make a product that actually works as intended.
