Review on ๐Ÿฅฃ KitchenAid KSMSFTA Sifter and Scale Attachment, White, 4-Cup Capacity by Joseph Harkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Read this and think before you spend money on this device!

I bought this strainer primarily to help sift icing sugar for buttercream. I have homemade cakes, I make A LOT of buttercream, and I HATE the mess that powdered sugar makes. I thought this attachment would save me. Boy was I wrong! Just this morning I had my fourth disaster when all the attachments came off and fell on the floor spilling 4 cups of powdered sugar all over the kitchen. That's exactly what I wanted to avoid! Also, sifting the flour into the cake batter takes too long because it requires too much mixing (which is undesirable after adding flour to wet ingredients). In addition, the scale stops working after several uses. do not turn on. My guess is that flour/icing sugar got into the batteries (which I have to take out and clean every time I use them). Cleaning after use is very time consuming. And to top it all off, it's VERY LOUD when sifting. All in all, save your money and buy a kitchen scale and colander! If Kitchenaide offers to refund my money I would happily send it back!
