QuestionI have had a tilt head for many years but just recently broke. Cannot decide to get another tilt head or the bowl lift. Any opinions on which one to get please
Asked 9 years ago by Lisa.
- Answer Lifts are much sturdier. No joint, heavier motor housing, stronger motor all translate to more power and longer life. The lift is less convenient to use than the tilt, but is much more reliable. I've seen thick mixes cause the joint on a lift to wiggle loose, causing the head to wobble back and forth and fail to get an even mix at the edges - not a problem for a lift.

QuestionCan the attachments from a series 5 be used on this one?
Asked 9 years ago by saj.
- Answer No. Different bowl sizes need different attachments to get the coverage touching the edges of the bowl. Small attachments for a large bowl won't mix the edges, large attachments for a small bowl will ram into the sides.
