I find the scraping beater a really valuable accessory, specially with smaller batches.
I saw one long before KA came out with theirs. My biggest gripe with KA has always been having to stop and scrape down the bowl. I have always considered that a design flaw of an otherwise great product. I couldn't get on line fast enough to order one. I must have had that for a whole year before KA came out with theirs. It not only scrapes the sides, but folds in the ingredients. It is similar to the KA Sideswipe. I don't remember the name of the company I bought it from. But they also had ones to fit the attachment shank for every make of mixer. I wish KA would make that paddle the one that comes with the mixer instead of the one that makes you stop and scrape constantly.
