I am a pastry chef and use a KitchenAid everyday. The mixer I have at home came with a plain metal beater and the one I use at work came with the enameled one. Unfortunately frequent use of this beater chips the enamel off and so you will have small pieces of it in your doughs. The plian metal beater works perfectly and is easy to clean. If you are only an occasional user perhaps the enamel is sufficient for your needs and won’t chip off. However for me I will write to KitchenAid and purchase one without the enamel.

I am not really sure how people are using there beaters. First this beater is Nylon coated NOT enamel.
I need to order a new one because I misused mine, the bowl was not seated correctly in my stand and it jammed the beater (the mixer was on high at time) causing some of the coating to come off. I have had my stand mixer for over 10 years and never has the coating on the beater just flaked off, I put it in the dishwasher never any problems. My parents Kitchen Aid is over 35 years old, they are still using there original Nylon coated beater, again no problems.
In case your not sure which beater to buy: The one that looks like captain Hooks hand, is a dough beater, for breads and pastas the flat beater is for batters like cakes and cookies softer doughs. The whip is used for making whipped cream or meringue (whipped egg whites) or when a recipes says to whisk something.
I hope this was helpful to you.

I am ordering my fourth flat beater replacement because the plastic chips off the beater too easily. I handwash and store it wrapped in a cloth in the bowl, yet the plastic finish chips off. While the other beater requires a bit more care, it will be cheaper in the long run.

I was/am so delighted to have found a replacement beater, I have owned this Kitchen Aid Mixer for 10+ years and found this company through Amazon. I ordered and it was dilivered very quickly, well packaged and it fits perfectly.
