Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have used this mixer on several projects. I have made muffins and bread mostly. This unit is pretty strong. It moans a little on the french bread dough. The attachments were nice at first but the blade and dough mixer are starting to pit. Not very good for having this only a couple months. Would i buy this product again.....yes. I wish the attachments were better material.

The Professional 600 series, with its high gloss finish and shiny bowl, is an attractive mixer that would complement any kitchen. I purchased this in Gloss Cinnamon, primarily because my first two choices were out of stock In December. I would have preferred if it were just a touch darker than Empire red, but this is a little darker than I prefer. However, it still looks great, is a dark red that is not brownish, and I don't regret my purchase. So far, I have made bread, pizza dough, cookies, cake and pasta dough using this mixer, among other things. I love that the 600 series has a 6-qt. capacity just in case I decide to bake for a group. It's also helpful when letting dough rise. The motor slows slightly on each rotation when kneading dough, but not in any unexpected way. I like that the head does not tilt on this model, but instead there is a level to raise and lower the bowl. It also has a 575-watt motor vs the 325-watt motor of the Artisan model. However, it is tall, so might not fit under some cabinets. The main downside is that extra attachments are overpriced, and don't all seem to be of high quality--not sure I will invest in them as originally hoped. Nonetheless, I'm excited and hopeful to get many good years of use out of my mixer. It's already making my life easier.

I read reviews for weeks before I pulled the trigger on the 600 series. The only reason I give it a 4 and not 5 because I'm short. When adding ingredients I have to stand on my tippy toes so I can watch the ingredients go in as I pour. This machine is durable, easy to clean the attachments and bowl. When I didn't have mixer I felt like there was so much clean up. Now I just put everything in the bowl add soap and water --boom done! The bowl size, and lever to lift the bowl up and down is why I chose the 600. My grandmother still has hers, looking forward to having this for years.

Great price at BB after I spent 2 days searching for best deal. Salesperson was experienced w/this product and very informative, though no pressure. I went back to buy it. Saved my shoulders, elbows & arms with mixing cookie batters, my main reason for purchase. Size was right because of the 5+ cups of flour plus sugar and other cookie batter ingredients (can't always split batters for smaller capacity mixing bowls.) Happy w/purchase and BB price!

This mixer makes life in the kitchen so much better! It's easy to use, is the perfect size for my baking needs, and is an attractive addition to my kitchen. However, the beaters were quite a disappointment. They are made of burnished metal which leaves a gray color in what is being mixed. I am very unhappy with the flat beater and dough hook because of this. I'm also very disappointed that Kitchenaid would include such a low quality product with their mixer. These should be discontinued. Coated attachments should come standard with such a high quality mixer.

Have been using a lot. Works OK. I liked my tilt model better, but needed this model for the large bowl so I could make larger bread recipes. Seems to be quite noisy, but works ok.

It has exceeded my expectations. Easy to use , powerful and I can’t wait to get the attachments for it.

I love the looks and the size of the bowl and attachments. It is a bit noisy, especially with dough hook on low speed. Don't know if it will loosen up with use.

Waited for my first Kitchenaide to die (Took 16 years) I knew I wanted to upgrade to the Pro series. I have not been disappointed. It is a workhorse. Can double any cake or bread recipe with ease. Hope it lasts as long as my first one.

I love it! It is a little heavy, but it works great. I can now mix my cakes and cookies faster than using my old Sunbeam. I would love to learn how to use it for more than just baking. It's great!

I like this mixer. It really helps to cook faster, especially if you buy some attachments for it. It is so professional with a good quality. Also it is so beautiful and stylish. I recommend to buy this item. But be ready that mixer makes so much noise.

The only downside is how difficult it is to fit the bowl. I like the tilt And bowl attach on the artisan mixer but need the power of this one.

I bought this for my girlfriend and she loves it, so far we haven't really found anything to dislike about it except maybe the price but you get what you pay for so I think it was worth it. Oh yeah the other bad thing would be that I've gained like 17lbs since its been in our house.

Great mixer. Many different settings. I do wish it reached the bottom of the bowl tho. Besides that I couldn’t ask for any better. Love the fact that you can buy extra pieces to make cooking easier

Had this for over a month and it works well. The attachments nice. I have the pasta maker and started making fresh pastas. Good high end mixer.

I have waited years for this machine!! Years! Makes my baking go by so much faster than hand mixing. Only downside is you shouldn't wash the attachments in the dishwasher. It will strip the metal coating off and won't be a smooth to use. My sister accidentally put mine in the dishwasher not aware of this. But the replacement is only $10, thankfully not a lot like other machines.

I had an Artisan for about 10 years. I used it often to make bread. But it wasn't heavy duty enough for the bread I was making so I needed something bigger. I purchased this one and it does the trick. The only reason for the 4 stars is it isn't easy to get the mixing attachments on or off when the bowl is filled with anything. It is also a little difficult to get the bowl on or off. I always feel like I am going to break something. On the other hand, I do like not having to tilt the head of it because I have undercounter lighting and I broke a couple of them while lifting the head on my old one.

A great machine; much better than the one i used for the past 20 years. Power of the professional series, and extra horsepower, REALLY makes a difference!

Good mixer but is heavy and does not reach the lowest part of the batter. The slicers/choppers partially slice/ chop and are difficult to clean.

this was an upgrade for me, i have a less powerful unit that i have used for years
