Same here, but mine is the 2 piece and sometimes it is hard to attach. Mine was a separate purchase. My KA was from Target.

Have never used it! In fact I wonder where it is?

I never got one with the mixer and I never bought one.

I have the Professional 600 - 575 Watt Mogador of Kitchenaid Mixers (Lift) and yes I use the pouring shield when I mix loose mixtures, I think it's great!

Q4U- I have the same mixer, but never use the pouring shield- is yours the two piece one? I find it awkward to use and usually just fold a piece of parchment or a cheap paper plate and "pour" stuff in that way...

The one piece, I might actually use!

I only used it once or twice. I find it clumsy and it's just another thing to wash.

I use it all the time. It is a ""mess saver"" for me. My KA did not come with it and I purchased mine separately after the first big mess in my kitchen. Love it!

I use mine all the time for adding flour incrementally to bread dough. Also for adding egg yolks and other ingredients. I find that it saves spatters.
