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?

The only time I had a problem with overflowing was once when the bowl wasn't completely level on the floor. If you place your bowl on carpet or other soft flooring, you might need to use something underneath it to balance it out.

I have not encountered that as yet, I only found it difficult to use the storage container that attaches to the bottom of the mixer. sorry

This mixer is a standard hand held and cannot be rested on the bowl. I suggest you try to get a mixer with a base that holds the bowl in place while the mixer is running if that is important to you.

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

I had stainless also and the thing wouldn't stick at all, maybe if you had a larger bowl? That might help. Or a larger bowl that was ceramic?Basically I think the thing is worthless, maybe if you stuck it on with super glue--Nah, buy something else that makes more sense.

The mixer is supposed to snap onto the storage container, however mine does not want to snap on. I will fiddle with it a bit more to see if I can get it to snap on and stay on.

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.

The bowl stays still while it mixes. Just the hook or whatever you have attached does the moving.

The bowl spins by itself, but I find it needs my hand to control it and to slow it down a bit. That goes for any mixmasters I have used

I found that you have to have the handle to the bowl against the mixer on the right or left side. You cannot have the bowl in lock position. This was the only way it covered everything.

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 have a feeding matt with a rubberized backing underneath the feeder and it stays in place. The bowl to the feeder is held pretty firmly by the feeder itself, but try setting the feeder on a matt with a rubberized backing. Hope this helps.

Are you sure that the rotating part has not slipped slightly when you placed the food on the tray? Sometimes we have the problem and find that the tray slipped a hair and then from the weight of the food, it slipped enough to stop completely or rubs on the side of the appliance. Was cooking a chicken in a bag (in half-time) and the bag got so heavy with juice that it hit the side of the appliance and stopped completely. My wife loves the half-time. Does not use the regular oven at all anymore.

I have not had this problem with the KitchenAid. Just make sure that it snaps in before starting the mixer.

The seat assembly slides off the bowl if you want to clean the bowl or you can just raise the seat and clean the bowl. this seat is amazing. I looked at many and decided on this one, good price and it does the job. Hope this helps if not let me know.

I have the same mixer & love this bowl. The handle is so convenient for taking it off the mixer & pouring the contents into a pan. Suggestion-get the extra cover that you can add ingredients while the mixer is going. Works great. And plastic storage lid (not sure if this came with the bowl). Enjoy.
