How do you get the bowl to stay in place? I went from a bowl-lift stand mixer to this one and the bowl flew off when I started to mix it. HELP!

I believe it secures with a small turn/rotation. One direction secures the bowl and the other releases it. It's basically a thread but only rotates about 5 degrees.

It should have notches at the bottom of the bowl, they twist into place at the base.

There is a nob on the bowl that fits into the stand & when all else fails,read instructions.

Hello Cindy,The bowl locks into the base by giving it a quarter clockwise turn.

Sit the bowl on the platform and turn it to the left and it locks in place. You were kidding with this question weren't you?

Are you using a mix master or kitchen Aid stand or bowl lift mixer? My ravioli attachment fits perfectly into my kitchen aid.

Try twisting the lid on and off. Sometimes that can allow the latch on the bowl to release.

Hi,My bowls did not break, but if you are serious about making ice cream, go with a different ice cream maker. The ice cream sticks to the bowls too much, and the cover doesn't stay on the maker.

Yes，I met the same problem，I have to change a bigger bowl or put it in a cup instead of bowl.

The bowl "snaps into" the feeder and doesn't move if it is. It is a bit of a hassle to get the bowl to snap in but give it a shot. If done correctly both the feeder and the tray can be picked up by just lifting the feeder.

When I received the first one that I ordered here the box specifically stated that it was for the mixer with the head that did not tilt as mine does. I ordered the replacement for my mixer (with the tilting head) and, as others have stated, it does not fit well at all. It actually seams like I need a different size bowl. We do not use the mixer enough to have us look for another size bowl so we just put it off to the size and do not use it. My advice would be that regardless of the type of mixer do not waste your money. It fits so loosely that you almost need a hand to hold the cover while you are mixing. Hope this helps.

The bowl does not turn at all. The action of the mixer is that the beater is not straight down, it makes a rotation inside the bowl.

I melted mine in a double boiler, let it harden then whipped it. I used a kitchenaid mixer and used a blow dryer on then bowl until you see it smooth out.

My bowl gets stuck sometimes. Usually a push in the opposite direction of release gets the bowl unstuck. I hear a snap and then the bowl comes out. In my case, I think it gets jammed because of the turning force during juicing. With the auger, Sometimes it is easy for me to take out and sometimes it's more difficult. It has always come out without a problem however. I don't know if it will help your issue but don't be afraid to put your back into it I guess. The machine has proven sturdy for me. Sincerely Erwin

There is a way to adjust the height of the blade in the bowl. It sounds like you need to move the height of the beater up a tiny bit. See your instruction booklet.

Sorry to hear that. Mine doesn't move while blending but it does move slightly in the base. I have had a similar problem with a different brand and just holding it while blending helped. But if you are not satisfied give the help line at Oster a call. They were very helpful to me when I contacted them about my top shattered after I washed it, they sent a replacement in less than a week. Hope this helps. It really is a great blender and the company stands behind its products.

Sounds like you froze the bowl before adding the ingredients. You just add the ingredients to the bowl and let it run for the desired time then put it in the freezer after you've finished mixing.

It must be defective. We didn't have any problem attaching it to our mixer. You should exchange it.

Problem I have with mine is the bowl falls through the holder. Otherwise it could work for you.

I am glad those who have answered aren't having this problem, but I really am only interested in resolving my problem and hearing from anyone who has the same issue only, not that some people don't have this issue, that doesn't help at all. I have researched other websites and find there are many others who also have this problem, has something to do with internal plastic. Guess it's time to move onto a new mixer.

I have the tilt head and bought my sister a lift one without realizing it. After baking at her house, I regret it. The bowl is VERY DIFFICULT to attach and detatch, and you need to detatch it in order to get to the stuff in the bowl since you can't tilt the head out of the way. The tilt head has a simple twist to get off the bowl. The lift head doesn't lift enough for you to mix the ingredients that went up on the sides back in or really do anything. I hear the lift is more powerful. If you're just making meringues and cookies, I'd definitely stick with the tilt head.
