KitchenAid KP26M1XNP Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Nickel Pearl
- All-metal 10-speed stand mixer with powerful 575-watt motor
- 6-quart stainless-steel mixing bowl; direct-drive transmission
- Electronic speed sensor; auto shut-off; Soft Start minimizes splatter
- Wire whip, burnished flat beater, spiral dough hook, and pouring shield included
- Measurements H: 16.5, W:11.3, D:14.6
I bake a lot of bread and the main reason I just had to have this new mixer was because of the spiral dough hook, and yes...it was worth it. I think the spiral hook is far superior to the regular c-hook for mixing doughs, especially very sticky ones like rye. Also, I have made very stiff bagel dough in this mixer with no problem. I think the slow start is a nice improvement, eliminating splash out upon start-up. So far I have been pleased with this mixer, though it is noisy.
Pros: 1. It accepts all the attachments from the other KitchenAid mixers. 2. The cover for the attachment connector is hinged. (I have had the cover fly off one of the older mixers). 3. According to enclosed literature, the plastic parts which were the focus of previous complaints have been replaced with metal parts so that should no longer be an issue.
Cons: 1. I cannot imagine why, in this day and age, Kitchenaid would manufacture attachments that cannot go into the dishwasher! 2. The included splash cover feels kind of flimsy.
Note: I have purchased Metro Beater Blades for each of the mixers. I find they do a great job mixing batters and cookie doughs and definitely cut down on bowl scraping. Additionally they can go into the dishwasher.
This mixer is a must have for everyone's kitchen!!! - Shelly Littleton -
Almost 16 years ago, my husband bought me my first kitchenaide mixer, a 4 qt white one. It still looks and works like brand new. It never scratched, chipped or faded. This year for my 17th anniversary, he bought me my professional size 6 quart mixer as I have established strong baking skills and this skill has begun earning me some extra money. I love this mixer! It is powerful, it is an awesome size, and has allowed me to work less as far as how any batches I make of anything. The ability to adjust the speed is so beneficial that it has opened up the possibilities to make things I couldn't before. I would urge everyone who cooks, to get a kitchenaide mixer regardless of size. It will make your life so much easier in the kitchen! This is an all in one machine that will last a lifetime! I kept my first one, the motor has never broke down, and with my baking, I am sure that I will need to use a second mixer the next time I make a wedding cake! I assure you, there is no other appliance in the kitchen more dependable than this one!
If your a serious baker - skip this one - homebaker -
I purchased the Pro 600 because I like to bake bread. The first one I received in November, 2009 stopped working the first time I used it. I resorted to my trusty 25 year old Oster. They sent me a new one and I returned the non-working one (after just 1 try). The second one I received does work, but I am not happy with it. After 3-4 minutes, the machine shuts down and I end up finishing kneading the bread by hand. Once the machine cools off, it eventually will start again - but who wants to wait that long!!!! I called Kitchen-Aid to register my complaint and basically, they told me that I'm SOL. The machine is designed to shut down when it gets hot and it's doing what it's designed to do. I also did not overload the machine. This machine is equipped to handle 8 cups of whole wheat flour (or so they say), when I actually use 6-7 cups of whole wheat flour. So, I was not maxing the capacity out. If you just want to mix a box cake batter, it would be fine (but you would be able to complete that task with a cheaper mixer). If you are a serious bread baker, skip this product. I'm switching to Hobart!

Does the job for me. - J. L. Francis - Sacramento, CA
Why I bought it:
I make a lot of cakes from home.
Pros:
I can make a very big batch of buttercream. I love the options for all of the attachments.
Cons:
It bogs down a little when I really load it up but I haven't had it quit on me. I have to handwash the attachments because for some reason, the dish detergent crystalizes and sticks to them.
Great Product - theputertech -
Fast Shipping and great product. It is way more powerful than the Artisan series that I first bought. I would advise spending the extra money and getting this one. It is quieter than expected (about like the Artisan) and performs better. I like the extra features like the slow startup and It has not strained like the Artisan did with pizza dough. I look forward to getting the attachments for grain, meat and pasta.
Excellent - C. Harmon - Houston,TX
This machine is amazing. It makes baking, etc... a breeze. No more hand mixing. It's a bit loud, but otherwise a good buy.
