The bowl and beater are designed to provide thorough mixing without frequent scraping. [. . . ] Look for these characteristics: The attachment power shaft and hub socket are of a square design, to eliminate any possibility of slipping during the transmission of power to the attachment. The hub and shaft housing are tapered to assure a snug fit, even after prolonged use and wear. KitchenAid® attachments require no extra power unit to operate them; the power unit is built in. Loosen the attachment knob by turning it counterclockwise, and remove the attachment hub cover or flip up hinged hub cover. [. . . ]
