A:AnswerThe operating sound of the bowl lift stand mixer will be different in tonality and slightly higher in decibels than the operating sound associated with the 4.5- or 5-qt. tilt-head stand mixer models. The internal all metal gearing system assembled in the bowl lift model does make the mixer sound different than the smaller models.
A:AnswerThe model number would indicate if it was refurbished as it would start with the letter R. Some KitchenAid Stand Mixers transported on their side or tipped, may experience slight oil leakage from the shaft or hub attachment.
A:AnswerBest Buy do price matching and actually the Sales Person I worked with scoured the internet searching for the lowest price in the market for me. She was excellent
A:AnswerThe Professional 500 bowl lift stand mixer includes mixing bowl, flat beater, dough hook and wire whip. There are not additional attachments included.
A:AnswerPro series (correct me if I’m wrong) has more wattage and more power while the tilt head does not. This is the main reason that the Pro series has a bigger bottom and requires a lifting mechanism. Fairly noisy though.
A:AnswerThe 120 volt (U.S.) appliances are not compatible with 220/240 volt requirements of other countries (as well as vice versa).
What many consumers are not aware of is the potential danger that differences in cycles/second can create. Where in the United States electricity is delivered at 60 Hertz (Hz), most other countries deliver the electricity at 50 Hz. Running 60 Hz appliances in a 50 Hz environment forces the motor in your appliance to run at a slower speed, and can potentially cause immediate motor or operational failure. Not only is this failure not covered by any manufacturer's warranty, but has been known to result in electrical shortages and/or fires.
Additionally, KitchenAid does not recommend the use of a transformer for any KitchenAid countertop appliance. Doing so could cause damage to your appliance or the home electrical system, as noted above.
A:AnswerMy mixer is 110/120 volts AC. I’m located in the U.S.
I expect that a KitchenAid mixer sold in another country with different voltage standards would comply with that region’s requirements.
