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?

I had the same problem....theyre 2 different kinds of ends. So they have to be placed in the correct hole or they continue to fall out....not a very good diagram on the bottom of the mixer itself, but it is there....hope this helps

I just used mine today with the bowl lift mixer and it was absolutely awesome!

Sage's answer is exactly right...make sure the bowl is clean and dry so the butter will form suction with inside of bowl.I too have been using a "butterbell" for years and I particuraly like the Norpro. Enjoy!

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.

Hi Maa, My advice would be that you check your warranty. I think you will find that it's not very lengthy. Just make certain if you have a tilt head mixer you get the same in the beater and the same for the lift bowl mixer. That said, I've used mine countless times without any problem. Enjoy the convenience of not having to continuously scrape down the bowl.

once you are through, turn the top and lift off. the tab that slips into the unit has to be turned clockwise to disengage the lid. if you are having trouble getting the bowl off the unit, it does take a firm hand to turn it. after a few times it does loosen up.

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.

I have the same problem. The slow speed it way too fast for a cake mix, and normally a "middle" speed is what you use for that. This one can NEVER blend dry ingredients and is way too fast for wet ingredients. When it starts on low speed, the liquids are thrown to the edge of the bowl and whirl around like a tornado! The ingredients hardly touch the beaters because the ingredients are moving way too fast at the outer edges of the bowl.

No..hmmm...I just twist and it's off. Don't drop it like I did cause if you break the plastic piece that locks it in to start it, you'll be ordering a new bowl like I had to..ugh

Mine had a pin with a spring and ate holding it in. Almost like how a kitchenaid mixer you add beaters. Push up against the ring with the blade and turn to the notch. Comes off. Look up attach beater to kitchenaid on YouTube. Same concept but much smaller lol.

My suggestion would be to make sure the ring that screws on & off on the bottom of the bowl is put on properly, maybe that's causing some sort of issue with attaching it to your mixer. I've never had a problem with attaching mine to the mixer, however it doesn't lock as tight as the metal bowl, however, once it's locked into the mixer I have no problem with it. I think if you were making bread or something that requires the highest speed you'd need to keep an eye on it so that it doesn't come unlocked though. I love mine, good luck hope you get the issue resolved and my suggestions help.

My wife has only used her's one time so far. But it seemed to mix up everything very well. Just saw a mixer attatchment that has like rubber spoon edges on the mixer. That might even be better. Good luck!

I also have had some trouble getting the splashguard back on after removing it.....I wasn't pushing it in place properly, I guess....once I got it firmly on again, it did not fall off, nor did it wobble. I am older, and have noticed that I'm losing my strength in my arms and hands....after fiddling with it a few times, I was able to get it to stay in place. Addendum: The splashguard does wobble when the arm is up or the arm is down without the bowl underneath it. The guard does not wobble when the arm is down and the bowl is underneath it. I used my mixer the other day and realized that it does wobble....when not in use!

The handle on the bowl brakes to the left, JUST AS ILLUSTRATED. To tell you the truth, I can't see how it makes a difference as long as it fits the mixer, unless you have lost the use of one hand. In that case I'm sorry. I happen to be right-handed and have no problem mounting the bowl to my mixer in spite of the left leaning handle. Instead of worrying which way the handle leans, worry whether it fits you mixer.

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.

I just made my first batch of pasta tonight with a used machine. It was pre-assembled so I didn't see how it all went together. When I took it apart, I couldn't get the rotary housing out. But I had not removed the mixing bowl. Once I removed the bowl the housing slid out to the side easily. It does not pull out to the front! So remember you have to remove everything else first - including the bowl before you can remove the housing. Look at the parts diagram to know what everything means! LOL
