Does your flex edge beater make a bumping sound as it goes around. I have two, one for each of my mixers, and they both bump. KA says that's normal but it doesn't sound normal to me.

I don't remember it doing that. I haven't used it for a couple weeks. I hope this helps.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this question! I was trying to wait until I used the beater again, to check, but still haven't done so. Yes, I do think there is a bit more of a "bump" with this beater than I would have expected. There don't seem to be any particular ill-effects of the "bumping" so I guess it's okay. Still, yours may be "bumping" more than most. Maybe trying a replacement beater would be a good idea, since you don't feel quite right about the one you have.

I usually don't get a bumping sound when my batter is thin. If I'm working with a stiff batter the machine doesn't bump and bang. My flex beater doesn't reach to the very bottomof the bowl and someone told me that I can adjust the depth of the beaters on themixer. I haven't attempted to do that but maybe your beater is reaching to far down into the bowl. If you use the regulare beater does that bump too?

yes, mine thumps a little, esp if the batter is really thick, like oatmeal cookies. Make sure your bowl is fit in it's fitting really tight; my bowl was a little loose once, and jiggled around, thumping and jumping.

Sometimes you have to push a little harder than you would think...you should hear kind of a "pop" as it snaps into place. I was afraid of breaking it the first few times until I got used to pushing that hard. :)

I have the same mixer but haven't had that problem. I would see if you can have Oster replace the beaters under warranty.

Hi, We are not sure how slight is the knocking but if it seems like a crackling sound, like the sound of burning wood, that should be normal. Otherwise, there might be an issue inside the item. We hope that helps. Thank you, Sales Team

I purchased a very popular brand and it was very loud. I replaced it w the same one Exact same problem. I sent it back and got this. No noises that I know of, very smooth.

Mine rattles too. I just picked it up and shook it. I never noticed this before. I guess it is normal. Good question. Glad I could help. I don't have any other problems with it.

Mine makes the same sounds, I am interested to know if more people have this issue....

That doesn't sound good, it sounds like a part is loose in the motor, I would personally return it. I bought 2 and they hummed and purred, there was no grinding noise at all. Hope this helps.

I have a Technique hand mixer with the exact same problem. I got it as a gift from my mom and she was so pleased with what they said on QVC about it, but it, also, has the round wire beaters and I have the same problem you describe--it won't break up clumps. I hate the wire beaters and am having no success finding other beaters for it. If you have solved your problem by finding flat blade blades, would you email me since I don't usually check these sites. I sure would appreciate it. barbvanslyck@gmail.com

That is quite weird. I have the same model. When I turn mine on, I do so with the handle in the upright position. The beater bar doesn't engage or turn on. When I push down on the handle and begin vacuuming, the beater bar engages.When I want the beater bar to remain off while I use it, I depress the beater bar off switch while the handle is still in the upright position, then push the handle down to begin vacuuming. The beater bar never engages, or moves an inch. If you are using it as I described, does the beater bar still engage on your unit?

The squeaking is relatively normal. It should smooth out the more you use it, and subsequently squeak less. As for the .02mm increments, this is abnormal.

it doesn't sound normal. honestly I didn't have a great experience with this machine. I just threw it away :(

I found out when using that the "quick" pushes are not as quick as one would think.I found out from someone who had it , that you push and hold a little once or twice and then the next push, you hear like a grinding sound.That is what you want to hear. I was pressing like 8times quickly(quickly as recomm)and hardly any fizz, it wasn't until hearing the grinding sound

I am no expert, but my two lasted only three weeks. The banging is back again like before. I plan another make. Good luck.

Not sure, but could be the shape of the bowls. I would suggest you measure your current beater and compare those measurements to the side swipe measurements. I love mine.

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.

Mine did the same thing when I first got it. You can adjust the height of the beaters. Lift the top up, like you're going to remove the bowl. There is a screw underneath where the top attaches to the stand. Use a screwdriver to adjust the beater. You turn it to the right to lower it. That fixed mine.
