4 out of 5 stars Worth it!!   December 5, 2007

In 20 years I have worn out two Kitchen Aid Classics...even the enamel on the beaters! Amazon's price made the jump to the Professional a no-brainer. I am very pleased with it's abilities, accessories and appearance. The only reason I scored four out of five was due to the sound of the mixer. It is really different in an unpleasant way.

I would first like to thank Amazon.com for giving me the chance to buy this KitchenAid Pro 600 for the price of 79 dollars after rebate. Secondly I would like to thank KitchenAid Customer Service for being just superb. I called them to inquire about whether my stand mixer had a plastic or metal gearbox casing, and the customer service woman told me that all mixers manufactured after April of 2007 had the metal gearbox case, and mine was manufactured in August of this year (2007). Then I inquired about the flat beater which was received with a deep scratch through the burnished surface. The Customer Service Woman gave me the choice of a white coated beater or another burnished aluminum beater, and she mentioned that she preferred the white beaters cause they are dishwasher safe. Furthermore she explained that Kitchenaid does not offer stainless steel in order to keep cost down. I opted for the white beater which should be here in about 5 to 7 days.
As far as the mixer itself, I have yet to really use it. But I should be getting some pans soon which will border its use. But I did give it a test run, and I was quite surprised at the lack of noise. I would say for a kitchen appliance, it was rather quiet. Sure its slightly louder than say a hand mixer but not much, and it is much quieter than any blender, I have ever used. Obviously I am not a chef or highly experienced cook, but I do enjoying cooking. In fact the stand mixer will be getting its first use tonight, so I got to go and start making dinner.

Thanks Again Amazon

I can't say enough about this mixer. It's my second kitchenaid, only b/c I make lots of homemade bread and I was starting to kill the motor on my old one, it was only a 250 watt motor, not made to endure 11 cups of flour. I love the professional, especially b/c of the bowl lift, the tilt head on my old one always hit the bottoms of my cabinets but this works and looks great in my kitchen.

5 out of 5 stars Very Pleased With This Mixer   November 25, 2007

I have never owned a stand mixer before, but I knew I wanted to use it to make larger amounts of bread dough than my bread maker can handle. I chose the Pro 600 after reading all the reviews that said you'll need the increased wattage to handle dough.

First of all, make sure you have enough headroom wherever you want to keep it - you'll need at least 17" under the cabinet to be able to use it in place. This may be important for many people as this mixer is bulky and heavy to move - over 30 lbs. But since it has the bowl lift feature, the head does not tilt back so you don't need extra clearance - 17" will work fine.

The first thing I used it for was an angel food cake and I have to say, the results were amazing. Using the wire whip, the egg whites whipped up higher than I have ever achieved with my hand mixer and in half the time! The cake was much higher and fluffier, too. The plastic bowl collar makes it easy to add ingredients during the mixing process without making a mess.

Next, I made a double recipe of yeast rolls. I used the spiral dough attachment and, as directed, never went above speed setting 2. It performed very well and my rolls were perfect. I referred to the tips in the owners manual for fast rise yeast breads. The machine didn't seem to strain or struggle and the resulting dough was lovely.

I also made 15 lbs. of mashed potatoes. Following the recipe and directions in the manual, the potatoes were very good. I made them in 2 batches, first using the flat beater attachment and then switching to the wire whip. It seemed like a lot of work and switching when I read the directions but actually, it is quite easy and quick to stop the machine for a moment to scrape down the sides of the bowl or change attachments. Also, the included clear plastic collar keeps things from flying up and out of the mixer when working with large batches. No more mashed potatoes across the front of my shirt!

The bowl lift mechanism works smoothly and easily and is very convenient. The 6 qt. bowl has a well designed handle and is thick, sturdy stainless steel. I love the slow start feature! The mixer starts slowly before coming up to speed so you don't get the big cloud of flour bursting up at the beginning of making dough. I got the meringue color, which is a soft white that is a matte, powder coated finish. I took mine in the back of my van to the relatives for Thanksgiving, where it got banged and bumped, and the finish suffered no damage.

The 3 included attachments are heavy aluminum and KitchenAid recommends hand washing them. The bowl is dishwasher safe. I haven't purchased any additional attachments but I plan to, along with an extra bowl, which I think would be very handy during the holidays.

KitchenAid KP26M1XNP Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Nickel Pearl

I thought really hard about spending this much money on a mixer. However, after cheaper mixers and burning out hand mixers, I decided it was time for something better. We talked it over and decided to go with the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series Stand Mixer, Nickel Pearl. This mixer will do whatever mixing job you ask of it! I haven't really gotten into extra attachments, but I feel sure that I'll be adding an extra bowl and flat beater because I do sometimes have to wash them while preparing a recipe so that I can use them again. I do not begrudge the money spent on this mixer. . . it was money well spent! I would highly recommend this mixer to anyone who does much in their kitchen! My mother who has been a great cook for many years has finally gotten one of these mixers in a slightly different color for her kitchen. She is as impressed as I.







5 out of 5 stars Very Cool Mixer   November 23, 2007

I'm really enjoying this mixer. I haven't yet used it to make bread, but I can't wait to try. I'm not a bread maker per se, but that's one of the reasons I wanted to get this mixer; so I could start. So far though it's worked really well for cakes, etc. It's not the greatest if you have a really small amount of something to mix because the bowl is so big, but for larger quantities it's wonderful. I did have to adjust the bowl height after I recieved it, but if you follow the very easy instructions, it's a cinch. I also bought the ice cream maker attachment and love it! It works great w/ this mixer. I can't wait to recieve my free food grinder attachment so I can try that out too.


5 out of 5 stars SUPER but READ this important info BEFORE YOU BUY ONE!!   November 23, 2007
 17 out of 18 found this review helpful

NEWLY EDITED 11/30/07:
IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO BUY a PRO 600 & you have done your research, you already know there is a plastic/metal parts issue, so PLEASE read my info: KA customer service KNOWS which Pro 600s have the metal transmission cover "fix" (via serial numbers), but some reps are refusing to give you the serial numbers to look for; but they might "allow" you to call them from the store with the serial number off a Pro 600 box before you buy to ensure it has the metal transmission cover. So, be insistent! Here's my story:
The first rep I called was a supervisor "Kelly", who refused to tell me which serial numbers to look for! Nice! I spent too much time researching ,so I called back & the next rep (Rachel) gave me her extension & told me to call her from the store & she would tell me if the one I found was made after the "fix". By the time I found one I wanted - at the second store visited - KA cust serv was closed. I bought it anyway, crossed my fingers, & called the next day. "Rachel" wasn't available, but another rep told me the serial number was one of the newer mixers I wanted. (pls read all the "negative" reviews here for good info)
IMPORTANT: This rep also gave me crucial I want to pass on as it's the info I tried to get before I bought my mixer - the serial numbers of the Pro 600 6 qt, 575 watt mixers with the metal cover "fix" (made from mid-April 2007)begin with numbers higher than "14" (my serial number is WU1503109, so it's above "14") Depending on the rep you get, only a couple are willing to confirm this info, so be prepared for frustration but just hang up and keep trying until you get a good rep.
ALSO IMPT: There are a few 6 quart KA mixers made - I am only speaking of the store bought PRO 600 6 QT, 575 watt mixer found in stores like Bed N Bath/Linens N Things. So, read all these reviews carefully & note the dates they were written - I think there is a possibility of people writing both pro & con reviews about 6 qt mixers that might be different. However, the plastic issue is the same, just the power would be different. For example, QVC sells a 6 qt KA mixer with a smaller motor, and there's a Williams Sonoma 6 qt mixer as well.
I wanted this powerful mixer as I have a 30 yr old KA mixer with a 250 watt motor, but it has a small bowl. My old mixer has never had a problem with a thick batter cookie I make every year at this time. I was anxious for the large bowl & to see how my new "workhorse" with its 575 watts would handle this batter because many have complained that it burns out on thick doughs/batters. UPDATE: I just made my thick cookie batter with my new 575 mixer & it did a super job!( My recipe uses 1 1/2 lbs of brown sugar, 8+ cups of flour, one pound of butter and 2 cups of Karo syrup - no other liquids or eggs so it's a tough batter for any machine) Once I began to add the flour (using the nice pouring shield) I never went above speed 2 (as suggested by KA for heavy batters/doughs) & speed 2 was all that was needed. A nice rep also suggested to rest the mixer if I needed to mix beyond 7 mins, but I never came close to that.
SIDE NOTE: when I opened the box last nite, the electric cord was folded in half & tied into a knot; there was a very sharp/jagged piece of metal on the lifting guide; a blob of dried paint on the top of the bowl holder; & bits of white crystals in the bowl that tasted like salt. Of course I called KA & Robert, with permission from his supervisor, offered a replacement immediately which I didn't ask for & certainly wasn't expecting! He said the "presentation upon opening the box" wasn't professional & they wanted to correct that. He also told me to go ahead & use this unit until the replacement arrives! WOW! Once it arrives, KA will send UPS to pick up the one I bought. Another WOW! I then told Robert about my Serial Number fiasco & he said that he would have provided the S/N info before I shopped! He also said that he stood by his fellow reps, but he agreed that someone like me, who had done hours of research, should have been given the requested info from the first call & certainly not have been forced to call from a store! In my case, I wanted a mixer made after the mid-April date which is the date KA began putting metal transmission covers on instead of plastic.
My WARNING: There is old stock, with the plastic cover, out there, yet KA still insists there is nothing wrong with this, so I'm giving you a big head's up..
Until I made my batter, I rated this mixer a 2 for the lousy customer service/runaround I got from 2 of 5 reps. Now that I've made my batter, I am vamping it up to 5 stars BUT KA needs to get more reps like Robert and the other guy who helped me. (If not for them, KA would NOT have this sale) So, while I wasn't treated right at the beginning, I am happy now & have edited my review accordingly. KA has quality issues re cust serv, especially supervisor "Kelly". (Try to avoid her as she thinks she works for the CIA.) I hope I have saved at least ONE person from all the frustration I suffered through to get what I wanted. In the long run, I think you'll be happy & customer service is great IF you get a good rep!

This is one product that no cook should be without. My fiance' bought me this mixer and it has made cooking a dream. It is so nice to be able to do more then one thing at a time. It's like having another set of hands in the kitchen that actually don't get in the way.
