How do you get the bowl to stay in place? I went from a bowl-lift stand mixer to this one and the bowl flew off when I started to mix it. HELP!

I believe it secures with a small turn/rotation. One direction secures the bowl and the other releases it. It's basically a thread but only rotates about 5 degrees.

It should have notches at the bottom of the bowl, they twist into place at the base.

There is a nob on the bowl that fits into the stand & when all else fails,read instructions.

Hello Cindy,The bowl locks into the base by giving it a quarter clockwise turn.

Sit the bowl on the platform and turn it to the left and it locks in place. You were kidding with this question weren't you?

I found that you have to have the handle to the bowl against the mixer on the right or left side. You cannot have the bowl in lock position. This was the only way it covered everything.

Sage's answer is exactly right...make sure the bowl is clean and dry so the butter will form suction with inside of bowl.I too have been using a "butterbell" for years and I particuraly like the Norpro. Enjoy!

The bowl doesn't turn at all...the bowl fits into the mixer only one way. It has a slit in the bottom and connects with mixer so it does not move. The bottom on small suction cups so the mixer doesn't move when running (but I still never leave it alone when running)...Hope this helps!

The bowl stays still while it mixes. Just the hook or whatever you have attached does the moving.

Try twisting the lid on and off. Sometimes that can allow the latch on the bowl to release.

My bowl gets stuck sometimes. Usually a push in the opposite direction of release gets the bowl unstuck. I hear a snap and then the bowl comes out. In my case, I think it gets jammed because of the turning force during juicing. With the auger, Sometimes it is easy for me to take out and sometimes it's more difficult. It has always come out without a problem however. I don't know if it will help your issue but don't be afraid to put your back into it I guess. The machine has proven sturdy for me. Sincerely Erwin

Problem I have with mine is the bowl falls through the holder. Otherwise it could work for you.

The mixer is supposed to snap onto the storage container, however mine does not want to snap on. I will fiddle with it a bit more to see if I can get it to snap on and stay on.

Indeed, I have the same problem with mine. It's not a big deal, but the loose bowl fitting does allow the kibble to miss the ramp and end up accumulating underneath the feeder itself. As a temporary fix, I took some duct tape (is there anything it can't do?) and connected the bowl to the feeder. That helped a lot, but a better fix would likely involve mending plates and screws, perhaps arranged on the bottom of the unit. When I get a better look at this, it might prove possible to add (tape) a cardboard ramp to the back end of the bowl to direct the food into the bowl no matter if the bowl-to-feeder fit is not as tight as it could be.

The bowl "snaps into" the feeder and doesn't move if it is. It is a bit of a hassle to get the bowl to snap in but give it a shot. If done correctly both the feeder and the tray can be picked up by just lifting the feeder.

To be honest I haven't even noticed. I have always balanced my mixer on the bowl edge so any of the mixture on the beaters will fall back into the bowl. I love this mixer - great power, convenient storage, and a good weight. Definitely recommend!

I just made my first batch of pasta tonight with a used machine. It was pre-assembled so I didn't see how it all went together. When I took it apart, I couldn't get the rotary housing out. But I had not removed the mixing bowl. Once I removed the bowl the housing slid out to the side easily. It does not pull out to the front! So remember you have to remove everything else first - including the bowl before you can remove the housing. Look at the parts diagram to know what everything means! LOL

You can also adjust the height of your bowl with the small screw that is located on the mixer. here is a video link on how to from Kitchenaid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocnETNExLc0

once you are through, turn the top and lift off. the tab that slips into the unit has to be turned clockwise to disengage the lid. if you are having trouble getting the bowl off the unit, it does take a firm hand to turn it. after a few times it does loosen up.

No, the bowl does not rotate. The beater(s) turn and rotate within the bowl. You do need to scrape the bowl during the very initial mixing.

I melted mine in a double boiler, let it harden then whipped it. I used a kitchenaid mixer and used a blow dryer on then bowl until you see it smooth out.
