Kitchen Aid Mixer Slider Mat 4.5 QT kitchen accessory 🍽️
Description:
This bamboo slider makes it simple to move a heavy 4.5–5 quart tilt-head stand mixer across the countertop, turning a two-person lift into a one-hand slide. It protects the work surface while keeping the mixer and its attachments within easy reach for baking and daily prep.
Key Points
This mixer slider is designed for Kitchen Aid tilt-head stand mixers with 4.5 to 5 quart bowls and works with common attachments such as the pasta roller and mixing bowl. The low-profile wooden platform lets the appliance glide in any direction, so you can position the mixer without dragging or lifting. Made from natural bamboo, the surface is smooth and attractive, adding a warm look to the countertop while shielding marble, tile, and laminate from scratches. Consider that the slider moves heavy appliances more easily, according to the manufacturer, but it does not lock the mixer in place during operation.

Usage Recommendations
Place the slider under the mixer feet before you need to move the unit, so the appliance sits squarely on the platform. For best results, keep the countertop clean and dry; small crumbs or moisture can reduce sliding performance. When using heavy attachments, slide the mixer into position, then engage the mixer’s tilt-lock or stabilizing features before starting to mix. The bamboo pad should be handled with care around prolonged water exposure; wiping it dry after cleaning will help preserve the finish and reduce the chance of warping.
Positive Aspects
The natural bamboo construction adds an aesthetic touch and feels warmer than plastic alternatives. It helps protect countertops from scuffs and dents while making routine repositioning faster and less strenuous. The compact size keeps the mixer near other tools and creates more flexible workspace arrangements. A minor limitation is that it does not secure the mixer against movement during vigorous mixing, so double-check stability during high-speed use. 🧁🍞
