It seems very little is made with quality anymore...if it’s cheap and breaks you have to buy new.Ours came with it but it is kinda flimsy and doesn't sit on the bowl very well. The old (early 1990's) Kenwood has a shield that is a complete circle that shoves up onto the mixer itself so it rises when the powerhead is tilted. Quite solid. The shield has to be put on before the mixing attachment is put in.
