I have a Kitchen Aid Classic, so I don't know.

Metal lacquered white. The grey thing is wsh. Silicone or similar.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have passed on your information internally and hope that the specifications can be adjusted in the near future.

I definitely think so. Especially for cake doughs and particularly in the initial phase of the dough. Otherwise, you have to stop every now and then and help it along by hand with the silicone spatula.

Yes, it fits, you may have to readjust the distance between the stirrer and the bowl, it is exactly as in the instructions.

Hi I just bought this product. I did research on the kitchenaid website. Their website says... Only compatible with the following stand mixers: 5K45SS, 5KSM45, 5KSM95, 5KSM125, 5KSM150, 5KSM156, 5KSM175, 5KSM180, 5KSM185.

Since the K45 SS should not differ from the K45, this flat beater should be compatible with your machine.
