Can SideSwipe damage my mixer?
No. SideSwipe connects to your stand mixer the same way as your original blade, and the motor needs to work only a little bit harder because of increased friction on the bowl. In our tests with various batters, SideSwipe increased the work of the motor between 10 and 20 percent. The strain is three to four times less than when you make bread dough using the hook, and is far below the manufacturer’s total wattage rating.
