I love, love, love our Kitchenaid mixer, but I'm not thrilled with the quality of the dough hooks - I'm about to order our 3rd in less than 12 months. The enamel cracks on the end of the hook, and I'm afraid that using it risks chips of enamel ending up in the finished dough. Granted - they're only $15 to replace, but I don't feel like I should need to replace it so frequently... I'd happily pay quite a bit for a stainless steel one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great new design, but Kitchenaid's cheapened the material, July 14, 2007

I own two Kitchenaid KSM90 mixers and have used them heavily over twenty years. The newer dough hook design (one of my mixers dates to 1989, the other to around 1995) is MUCH improved over the old one--if you own an older machine, you may want to consider replacing the hook. I use my machines side by side and the newer hook takes about half as long as the old one to mix and knead the dough.

BUT (and this is a big, inexcusable but) somewhere along the line, Kitchenaid started using aluminum as the base metal in the hook, and if it's put through the dishwasher, it will eventually corrode, bubble up, crack the nylon coating, and make it impossible to slide onto the mixer shaft. I simply do not know why they'd have made such a decision, unless to save a few dollars and make more when we all have to buy replacement after replacement (who's going to bother handwashing, anymore?).

I really wish they'd offer these in stainless steel, as they do for the higher-end... Read more

The first dough hook I had from 20 years ago lasted like 15 years. The second one lasted 5 years. The third one lasted one month -- 3 uses, and it's shot. In each case, the plastic coating starting flaking off. Why, I might be feeding my family plastic! Ick! am now looking for a mixer with stainless steel hook.
