The C-hook that came with my KA mixer is terrible. Mr Mixer pointed me to this one on Amazon. It works perfectly in my mixer. They have them for lots of models.

I’ve recommended him frequently on here when folks are looking for an amazing KA with rebuilt real metal parts and warranty. I gave my old one , perfectly fixed by MM to my daughter and bought a rebuilt one from MM. perfect in every way. I don’t use the spiral anymore because I do my “ time + bassinage” instead of a machine. But the C hook works great. It came with my “ new” one . Happy New Year GB!
Gary, is your KA a tilt-head or bowl-lift?
I got this one 18 months ago for my KA Artisan tilt head and it is fantastic. Totally changed my opinion of this mixer for mixing/kneading.

Looks like it's on sale now, heckuva deal.
I wish Bosch would have included a paddle attachment for the Compact mixer. The Compact does pretty well with kneading wheat doughs with the C-hook but does not come with a paddle. High% rye doughs just smear around with the C-hook.
Agreed on the Compact. For 100% ryes often just use a hand mixer with dual spiral attachments. Some bread machines do pretty well with ryes. Panasonic makes a forked paddle for mixing ryes.
