I have the bowl-lift, 6 qt KA mixer from years ago. It came with a pouring shield. With the bowl-lift, I never needed the pouring shield, I guess it would be handy for very thin batters, that might spatter. Do you use your pouring shield?

It's for pouring stuff into the bowl while the mixer is running. I use it all the time.

I have had four KA mixers in my lifetime and the pouring shield has been used maybe twice. I don't even know where they are. I just inherited the first mixer back but that wasn't with it.

I find the pouring shield more trouble than it's worth. I never use it any more.

LOL, I feel so alone. I find it a necessity

I agree.

You need all the help you can get when you only have a couple inches between the motor head and the bowl.

When I had a kitchen aid I never used. Got Cuisinart now. only time I think would be good would be when working with powdered sugar. That stuff drifts and blows. LOL

I always use mine. I love it. I am a messy cook anyway, so anything that cuts down on my mess is good.
