The lid that goes missing first
A replacement splash guard equivalent to Bosch/Siemens part 00482103, for the MUM4 range and the Profimixx 44, 46 and 47. VIOKS publishes the dimensions — 9.4 by 8.5 by 1.3 inches — and eleven model numbers. Sold on the European Amazon stores, not on Amazon.com.
Best for: An owner of a Bosch MUM4 or Profimixx whose mixer works fine and whose splash guard vanished.

A splash guard. It has no moving parts, it does nothing to the food, and it is the first thing to go missing from a stand mixer — after which the machine gets used one speed slower than it should be.
VIOKS publishes all three, which is more than most replacement parts manage:
Named ranges: MUM4 and the Profimixx 44, 46 and 47. The guard replaces the original’s blue transparent design with a clear one.
The model number is the one to trust. It is printed on the plate under the mixer, and a match there settles the question before the ruler comes out.
Transparent plastic, stated robust, food-safe and non-toxic, at about 4.2 ounces. A splash guard is not a structural part; what matters is that it clips and stays clipped.
The reference B09M453KBL is not listed on Amazon.com. It is sold on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores, and the button on this page runs a search.
The mixers it fits are European Bosch models, which limits it in the United States to machines brought from Europe. For a KitchenAid, the replacement bowls and beaters sold on Amazon.com are on the bowls and beaters page.
This is an equivalent rather than an original. On a guard that is a straightforward proposition — unlike the pressure cooker seals elsewhere on this site, nothing here is holding a vessel closed.
Three ways, all published. The original Bosch/Siemens part number — 00482103 — which is printed on the guard you lost; the model number on the plate under your mixer, against VIOKS's list (MUM4404, MUM4405, MUM4406, MUM4415, MUM4419, MUM4426, MUM4486, MUM4600, MUM4612, MUM4625, MUM4650 and others in the MUM4 and Profimixx 44, 46 and 47 ranges); and the dimensions, 9.4 × 8.5 × 1.3 inches (240 × 215 × 33 mm), against the bowl rim. It does not fit other Bosch ranges, such as the Universal Plus, or mixers of other brands.
Not on Amazon.com. The reference B09M453KBL returns no page there; it is sold on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores, and the button on this page runs a search instead. The MUM4 and Profimixx mixers it fits are European models, so a reader in the United States is most likely to need it for a mixer brought from Europe — in which case the part number 00482103 is the thing to search for.
It is the difference between a mixer used on high speed and one used cautiously. Flour and batter leave the bowl at speed, and the guard is why the wall behind stays clean — which is why it is the accessory people miss and then work around.
An original Bosch/Siemens spare coupling, part 12009553, listed for food processors including the MCM3110W/01. BSH publishes three statements about it: that it is an original spare part, that it is of high quality, and that it fits exactly.
Best for: Someone who already knows their part number and wants the original.
