The side-swipe does a great job keeping the sides and bottom clean when I start my cookie dough. I normally make a double batch and halfway through, it is no longer able to scrape the sides and bottom well. On top of that, it throws flour everywhere!!! It doesn’t matter how slow or how little flour I put in. I even tried to pulse my mixer and I wind up with a big mess. I will try a single batch next but I was hoping this product would save me time, not double it.
