Every time I try to mixes anything harder than average beaters fall out of the mixer after a few seconds of working. Is there anything I can do to make them stay in the mixer (no I don't press the eject button accidentally).

When you plug your beaters make sure you can hear a “click” noise that assures they are plugged in all the way. If there is no noise when you stick the beaters all the way, the tabs could be broken. Examine the beaters for damage to the tabs, replace the beaters if necessary. If everything is good with the beaters, the mixer’s spring that holds the beaters could be damaged and it will need to be replaced.
Check out the section on beaters falling out on the KitchenAid KHM512ER Troubleshooting Page .

When I went to used the mixer today, only one of the beaters would lock in place. It appeared that the small metal tabs on one side were a bit lower than the other. To fix it I used a very small flathead screwdriver and gently pried upwards on each of the metal tabs. After doing that the tabs engaged with the tabs on the beater and it worked properly. I'm sure there are other failure modes, but this worked for me.

I have bought 2 of them and the same thing happened both times. The beaters made a funny sound like they were hitting each other. Then quit working. One I used for awhile and the 2nd one I only used about 1 time. Will never buy this again.

My beaters keep falling off too. Disappointed in Staten Island, NY.

I've only used mine 1 other time and it's already doing this for me as well. I went to use for a second time after just buying it and one beater kept coming out. Will never get this brand again!
