or
- BUY THE RIGHT SIZE: If you have a KitchenAid 6 Quart Bowl-Lift mixer with a stainless steel bowl, if your stand mixer bowl measures 9.5-inches diameter, across the top of the bowl, this is the correct BeaterBlade to purchase if that’s the mixer you own
- KA-6L does NOT work with 6 Quart Glass Bowls, the Professional 6000 Series mixer with narrow flared/tulip bowls or the F-Series glass bowl
- BeaterBlade pushes food down, not out of mixer; scrapes bowl all the way to the dimple and cuts mixing time by 50%
- Use BeaterBlade as a hand held spatula to transfer batter; do not use blade in an empty bowl
- Always made in the USA from high impact plastic; dishwasher safe

Everything. I make everything with my kitchen aid except for simple one bowl oil-based cake recipes/quick breads.
Creaming butter is super easy, whipping eggs/egg whites/heavy cream. Basically any and all baking, my kitchenaid does all the work.
I also have this attachment (link below) which I find very helpful. You might have to adjust your bowl height so it fits in (there are directions in the manual on how to do this) but it makes a big difference. I rarely have to turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl, I'll do this maybe once while making a dough. Make sure you get the correct attachment for your model.

Additionally, there are a ton of other attachments you can slowly add to your collection that allow you to do so much more with your mixer. Personally, I love the meat grinder. Great for making your own sausage, meatballs, or just ground meat.
Have fun with your new toy!
I had the same problem when I upgraded to a Pro 600. I then discovered the 11-wire whip, and it's awesome. It will beat two egg whites, no problem. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PJ6XGQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fpALzbBH6CK4G
You can also get a beater blade with a rubber edge that scrapes the bowl while mixing.

If you order either of these, be sure to get the ones that fit your model.
My most recent game changer is the Beater Blade for my KitchenAid stand mixer. It's like the regular beater, but the silicone on the sides of it scrapes as it mixes. It's awesome.
I used this off brand Metro blade for my KA Pro 600 https://www.amazon.com/BeaterBlade-KA-6L-Metro-Design-KitchenAid/dp/B0015TMI28/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483386039&sr=8-1&keywords=kitchen+aid+pro+600+metro+blade for one year before it broke at the neck/shoulder area. Replaced it with the same blade and that lasted a bit over a year. I don't make bread and the cookies I make are not rock hard. I went looking for a replacement.
Here it is... https://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KFE6L-5-5-6-Bowl-Lift-Beater/dp/B006HGZ7AY This one is actually put out by Kitchenaid. I liked the dual silicone edge of the metro, but this blade is stainless steal coated, not plastic like the metro. It is DW safe (I've washed mine at least 25x already. 10/10 would buy again. Well worth the money if you plan on thicker doughs than cake batter.
I also recommend this 11 wire whip attachment (also KA brand) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PJ6XGQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is also stainless, unlike the one sold with the mixers, which makes it totally DW safe (have washed that one at least a dozen times since I got it.
IDK if I really answered your questions, but in my experience the KA brand name accessories are worth the money. The quality is markedly different from the off brands, but in the end, it depends on what you are using them for and how much you are using them. The off brands might suit your needs just fine.
Oh, I forgot. I have the meat grinder too. I initially bought the plastic one, but traded up to the ss because of heavy use. Another example of ss being the better choice, though in this case they were both KA brand items.
Good luck to you. As a suggestion, your wife can bake to her heart's content, but have one or two and give away the rest, or the extra 50lbs will be with you in no time. I had to learn the hard way that taking it off was infinitely harder than putting it on. Save yourself and your wife!!
Edit: apologies for the word wall
Edit 2: Make sure you double check your model number before ordering any accessories b/c they may look like they'll fit, but they don't always.
I've seen those, will give it a try. Did you get the sideswipe or the metro design?
If it has a 5, it means it has a 5 quart bowl, 45, 4.5 quart.
If your kitchen aid has a tilt head, then then you can buy the smaller one (i.e. this ) if yours is a "bowl lift", you'll want this. However, be careful on the last one, for it's plastic. It should be fine, but if your batter is super heavy it might break and need a replacement with a metal base (like I had to).
Anything baking related would be great. But I'd love to have this [Beater Blade] (https://www.amazon.com/Original-BeaterBlade-KitchenAid-6-Quart-KA-6L/dp/B0015TMI28/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1505425108&sr=8-4&keywords=beater+blade). It's magical for baking. Instead of having to stop the mixer over and over to scrap the sides down the blade scrapes the sides and bottom for you. Laziness is the mother of invention. Makes baking go quicker so you can have tasty things faster!
