KitchenAid 3.5 Quart 6-Wire Whip (KSM35WW)

I have used Kitchen Aid products for 35 years and I’m extremely disappointed in the wire whisk for use with the stand mixer. For a product that is supposed to be top shelf quality it is unacceptable that the whisk can’t be washed in the dishwasher and can’t be used on hot foods without losing its coating – and it leaves difficult to wash out black marks all over tea-towels. Kitchen Aid has recently brought out a true stainless steel whisk and other attachments, which demonstrates a response to complaints regarding the previous whisk. It would seem reasonable that the old whisks should be simply replaced at no cost by Kitchen Aid. The whisk doesn’t reach the bottom of the bowl so there is a constant need to stop and mix the bottom in and remix. Again, not acceptable for a product of this cost and quality. Also, when the arm is up, the on switch should be locked because it is easy to knock it by mistake and the beater starts rotating at face level.
