A: Lifts are much sturdier. No joint, heavier motor housing, stronger motor all translate to more power and longer life. The lift is less convenient to use than the tilt, but is much more reliable. I've seen thick mixes cause the joint on a lift to wiggle loose, causing the head to wobble back and forth and fail to get an even mix at the edges - not a problem for a lift.
Q: Are the gears on this model made of metal?
A: The KitchenAid Professional 600 Stand Mixer does have all metal gears.
A: Description says 575 watts
Q: Does the kitchenaid professional 600 have a tilthead?
A: It's a lift model.
A: About 14 cups capacity
Q: Can the attachments from a series 5 be used on this one?
A: No. Different bowl sizes need different attachments to get the coverage touching the edges of the bowl. Small attachments for a large bowl won't mix the edges, large attachments for a small bowl will ram into the sides.
Q: does this mixer have a soft start feature?
A: Yes, it sounds like it struggles at first but it is designed to have a fade up to the power.
Q: Are the attachments stainless steel or coated? Photo shows stainless steel. Please advise
A: They are coated/painted. Seems to hold up well. However I can say for a fact the previous models weren’t stainless anyway. They always been aluminum like these are, they just weren’t coated. Both versions hold up well, however the coating prevents and corrosion.
