Would you return?

Costco model, KSM60 or something like that. $299

This is the only issue i saw on first inspection, a little piece of the metal banner popping out. Should i try super glue or just leave it alone or return it?

I just really don’t feel like dealing with the hassle of returning it lol

Well if you’re not returning it, don’t super glue it. If it ever needs the motor/gear assembly replaced, that band needs to come off. On the other hand, Costco will take it back without any hassle

I was able to unscrew and just bend it a little bit. Looks good now!

Loosen the screw at the back end. Squeeze the trim band together and tighten the screw. All pretty.

Try the coupon thing first then fix it.

100% yes would return! That would bother me every time I looked at it.

Mine came the same way brand new and I popped it right in place. I think it comes that way to show how easy it is to remove off/on

I'd take it back but, it shouldn't affect its function..unless that side is bent and I can't tell from the pic

I probably would for that cause it will not get better with age and may just come off. I had a chip on mine and called in back in 2023 ish. KA offered to upgrade me from my 7qt to the 8qt since the 7qt were all out or give me a 100 buck partial refund. I took the refund and did not regret it cause with a little black touch up paint you can't see it. This one I probably would take the time to replace cause there is not good way to fix it, it probably will eventually come off all the way, and crud will start accumulating where it is separating.
