New Metro Design Replacement Beater Blade for 9.5-inch Bowl-Lift Mixers, XL-MAX Gray — Powder-Coated Aluminum with Flexible Scrape

The New Metro Design XL-MAX Metal Beater Blade is a replacement flat paddle made for 9.5-inch bowl, 5-Plus, 6, 7 and 8-quart bowl-lift stand mixers to deliver thorough mixing and easy scraping.

If your stand mixer bowl measures 9.5 inches across and you own a 5-Plus, 6, 7 or 8-quart bowl-lift model, this beater blade swaps in for the original flat paddle and gives improved ingredient movement, cleaner sides and a durable, food-safe construction. The blade combines a powder-coated aluminum frame with a flexible plastic working edge bonded by double-molding for durability and sanitation. It is not compatible with tilt-head mixers, 5-quart bowl-lift models, glass bowls, or certain specialty machines like PRO-6000 and "F" type mixers, so measuring and confirming compatibility is essential before purchase.

How does the XL-MAX improve mixing compared with a standard flat paddle?

The XL-MAX is engineered to push ingredients consistently toward the bowl’s center dimple so you get uniform mixing without flour streaks or unmixed pockets. The flexible plastic edge helps scrape the sides and fold ingredients without introducing rubber or Teflon materials into your food-contact surface.

• Designed to fit 9.5-inch diameter bowls common to 5-Plus, 6, 7 and 8-qt bowl-lift mixers
• Powder-coated aluminum frame for commercial-style durability
• Flexible plastic blade bonded to metal to prevent food trapping
• Eliminates streaks and improves ingredient movement to the center

Will this beater blade work for my specific mixer model?

Confirm compatibility by measuring your mixer bowl across the top: if it measures 9.5 inches, the XL-MAX is made for your 5-Plus, 6, 7 or 8-quart bowl-lift mixer. It will not fit tilt-head models, 5-quart bowl-lift mixers, glass bowls, PRO-6000, or "F" type machines.

• Fits bowl-lift mixers with 9.5-inch diameter bowls only
• Not compatible with tilt-head mixers or 5-qt bowl-lift models
• Does not fit glass bowls, PRO-6000, or "F" type mixers
• Images and video available if you need help confirming fit

How should I use and care for the XL-MAX beater blade?

Use the XL-MAX the same way you would a standard flat paddle: operate with ingredients in the bowl and select speed based on the desired texture—higher for aeration, lower for denser mixtures. Hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and longevity of the powder coat and bonded plastic edge.

• Only run the beater when ingredients are in the bowl
• Higher speeds create lighter, aerated batters; lower speeds make smooth, dense mixes
• Hand wash to protect finish and extend life
• Not intended for mixing very heavy doughs like pizza or thick bread

What practical benefits will I see day to day when baking or cooking?

The XL-MAX cleans bowl sides as it mixes, reducing the need to stop and scrape mid-recipe, and its spatula-like edge doubles as a convenient scoop to transfer batter. The bonded construction prevents food from getting trapped under the blade, improving sanitation and reducing wasted batter.

• Reduced scraping and faster, more consistent mixes
• Use the blade to scoop batter into pans after mixing
• Double-molded edge avoids food build-up under the blade
• Commercial-grade feel without silicone, rubber, or Teflon

Who is this for: Home bakers and small-batch pros who use 5-Plus, 6, 7 or 8-quart bowl-lift stand mixers and want a durable, sanitary replacement paddle that improves mixing efficiency and simplifies cleanup.
