KitchenAid KN2WJ Water-Jacket Bowl for 5- and 6-Quart Lift-Model Stand Mixers Reviews By Customers

See my comment to "Y. Hughes", above. The jacket works as advertised. The comments all seem to relate to the method of attaching it. It's not flimsy and if one of the tabs become bent for some reason just pull it back into position with a pair of plyers.

If you need this, you need it. It's good for lamingtons (an Australian classic) where you need a warm bath for the eggs if you're making Genoise cake from scratch and then a hot bath for the icing to keep it runny while you dip. Note that it's specific to 6 quart, bowl-lift mixers. It's very big but it needs to be for a 6 quart bowl.

The weak point is the tabs by which it hooks to the arms of the bowl-lift mechanism so that it goes up and down with the bowl. They're not exactly flimsy but they're very exposed and angular which means it's easy to damage yourself when washing/drying the bowl, and damage the tabs with a drop or heavy knock. In fact the KitchenAid packaging was grossly inadequate - just a cardboard box with no foam - so that the tabs were bent when the bowl arrived and had to be carefully straightened.
