Do you use a paddle or whip attachment for cake batter? I've always used a whip, but now I'm thinking maybe a paddle would make more sense. Not that I have an air bubble problem because even though I use the whip, I don't technically whip the batter 
So do you like or use the paddle attachment that has the scrapper edges on it?
I have one and loved it but it torn up really quick 
Paddle, but I don't have a beater blade. I just scrape it down with a spatula.
The paddle attachment is for creaming ingredients - for doughs and batters, such as cakes you don't want air in and cookies.
The whip attachment is for incorporating air into something - some scratch cakes need the whip attachment such as sponge cakes, roulades, and angel food.
For IMBC, and SMBC I always use the whip attachment. For "American Buttercream" (powdered sugar and shortening/butter) you would use the paddle or paddle first and then whip (differing opinions on this).
I love my Beater Blade! I won't not have one again. But to the original question - paddle for batter.
Which beater blade do you have? I loved mine but after like 3 mths of use it started to seperate from the paddle. When do you use yours, for batter, frosting, etc?
The beater blade is a terrific time-saver. It keeps you from having to stop the mixer and scrape the sides.
For those of you who are having trouble, did you adjust the bowl to make it fit properly. I have on on all three of my mixers and even though I use them hard, they look like the day I got them.
I've bought the Beater Blade brand. I agree with SCP1127 you need to adjust your bowl. I use my beater blade for most everything except my buttercream which is a merigune buttercream and of course to beat egg whites and cream! I haven't had problems with the rubber breaking down. You should look into the warranty.

Yeah I will double check the adjustments and I have been meaning to call about the warranty but never make time for it, lol.
