I want to be able to tilt the bowl slightly and use a silicone spatula to scrape down the sides as it mixes. Is this easy or possible?

Somewhat on the large bowl but not on the small bowl. The small bowl did now come with mine. If I hadit to do over again, I would invest in a Kitchen Aid. Sorry, Sunbeam!!

The bowl cannot be tilted when the mixer is running. Also scraping the sides with the mixer running could very well cause injuries.

I wouldn't think so as the bowl sits on the turn table and goes around when you use it. I usually stop it and scrape down the sides.

I concur, the blender attachment is designed to prevent the actual blades from touching the bottom of the vessel, but the metal feet that extend beyond the blades could touch the bottom unless you hold it just above rock bottom. However, you'd need to be jostling the metal feet pretty hard to make it scrape up the bottom of a non-stick pan.

we haven't had a problem with unmixed ingredients, so I'm not sure if there is a way to adjust the bowl.

How many quarts is the bowl,and if you measure the bowl opening and depth they should have one that works. Is your mixer a tilt or lift style? if it is a lift style remember that the height is adjustable so the the sideswipe doesn't rub on the bottom to hard resulting in beater failure

It's very easy to use. Trick to flip the pancake: get one of those cute tiny mini spatula that is about the size of each pancake or even smaller so that it won't touch the adjacent one while flipping. Use it to lift the pancake slightly, then with help of a butter knife or spreader or little fork, flip it over...easy without problem. But the pattern shows well only one side of the pancakes, unless you use a batter that doesn't bubble too easily, then you sometimes could have a slight pattern on the other side after flipped.

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!

Read the description. This is a bowl-lift model. The mixer DOES NOT tilt back.

as others have said, yes. But remember you may have to adjust the mixer to have this meet the sides and bottom of bowl correctly. Adjusting is easy and the instructions came with your mixer. I use it all the time and love it.

If it is on the counter under the cabinets, it is convenient not to try to tilt the head back. lower the bowl, remove the attachment and you are free to lift off the bowl, without moving the whole mixer to clear your cabinets.

No you cannot. A couple of the pans have warped so now they do not set level and they spin when stirring my food.

I'm not sure what you mean by adjust the mixer. But you can use either or both when mixing something. Sometimes I would start with the regular beater and then switch to the side swipe.

I just use a bowl that fits, so that the food processor sits on it comfortably without wobbling. I didn't have to go and buy a special bowl, I used a regular mixing one.

The tip is somewhat thin and flexible, so we don't use this spatula so much for cooking, but rather for scraping bowls, etc. Hope this helps you.

I only have the side swipe, so can't compare the two...but I would buy the side swipe again...really nice not to have to stop and wipe down the sides when mixing things...even gets all the dry ingredients from the bottom of the bowl...works great!

Hi Mark, you can simmer/control the heat by adjusting the focal point. This is done by rotating the parabola to slightly to focus or unfocused the light on the bottom of your cooking dish. There is a small darkened mirror that allows you to do this easily and without looking at the light directly. On their website, see the video titled Usage: Aligning the Focus http://www.oneearthdesigns.com/solsource/usage/#usage-use

I have the KitchenAid flex edge beater and liked it, but saw this and wanted to give it a try and wanted to have a backup. I was surprised at how lightweight it is, and that it is made of plastic. I tried it once and it didn't work well. One side of the glass bowl, it was about 1/4" from touching the side, and on the other side it was way too far over (the flex edge was completely bent). There may be a way to adjust it, but from the instructions I saw on the package, the adjusting is up and down, not side-to-side. So, if you have the KA flex edge beater, I'd just stick with that.

The heads of the spatula/scrapers do not flop around. They are pretty ridged but the edges are pliable to shape to the vessel you are scraping. I would not use these for mixing a stiff dough, though I have used them for batters and for mixing wet ingredients like a meatloaf or casserole ingredients and they did just fine. I'm really very happy with them.
