I own the Pro 600 and its great for kneading dough..the bowl is big and accomadates double batches for my cookies....However be warned that the noise it makes will sit on your last nerve..the drive is different then the Artisan so its far noisier..and having had the tilt head prior to this..I must say I like that more then the lift...Perhaps you want to go hear it in person before buying it..you can do that at Williams Sonoma stores...If you can stand the noise..you will probably love the mixer..does pizza dough for me in a few minutes...great every time!

I am not a KitchenAid Rep, you would have to contact KitchenAid regarding your warranty. I can assure you, the New Metro Design Beater Blade is by far the best for mixing dough, frosting etc. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I don't have the 600 professional, but all the Kitchen Aid mixers are the same on the ends. That's where this attaches to and Kitchen Aid made all the ends the same size so extra attachments could be used on any mixer. Hope this was helpful. Also, I wouldn't be without this grinder.

I have the Artisan 810 and it is a major ink hog. Probably will return to HP and accept some of their flaws. At least the HP ink is a lot less expensive that the Epson. Too bad since in most other aspects, the 810 is a decent all in one unit.

When did you buy the mixer and where? I just ordered the Pro 600 from Amazon today and would love to get my hands on that kind of extended warranty.

Sorry I had some outpatient procedure took me a little bit to get back to email. I wanted the Consumer Report recommended KitchenAid Architech Series KHM 920A. I received the KitchenAid KHM 9260 BO. Did this help?

HORSEPOWER! And if you use a mixer a lot, and/or use Kitchenaid attachments, you will appreciate the difference. I went through 2 Artisans before getting the heavy duty model, and I have no regrets. Outstanding results with this mixer.

On September 7, 2009, I bought a black onyx Kitchen-Aid Artisan 5 quart stand mixer from Bed, Bath and Beyond in Dayton, Ohio, for $232.92 including tax, . Normally it would have been $299.99 but I used one of their 20% off coupons. (Apparently, Artisan mixer prices vary according to the colors as well as where one buys the product.)Amazon wanted $289.95 but the S & H was not included.Kohl's was having one of their "best prices of the season sale" and they wanted the full $349.99 that is Kitchen-Aid's asking price.

I love my Kitchenaid ultra power 5 and 6 speed and my daughter did also. So I gave her that one and bought the 7 speed for myself. I like it just as well as the 6speed, not much difference just a tiny bit faster on the 7speed. Hope this helps you. I am a senior citizen and have limited storage and this mixer meets all my needs.

This link to Kitchenaids' web site should get you the right rebate for the Pro 600: http://www.shopkitchenaid.com/pdfs/50HolidaySelect.pdf By the way, has anyone gotten a packing slip with theirs? Mine did not come with one (and was, I presume, drop shipped direct from Kitchenaid). What are folks using as their proof of purchase in lieu of a register receipt or packing slip? A printed copy of their Amazon invoice?

From a chat with a KitchenAid rep on 1/9/14: The motor in the 5 quart Artisan is 325 watts so it can handle 9 cups of all purpose flour while the 4.5 quart Classic Plus stand mixer has a less powerful motor so it can only handle 8 cups of all purpose flour. The 4.5 quart stand mixer has a 275 watt motor. They both have a combination of metal and nylon gears, but it is the same combo. The attachments are universal so they will fit all KA stand mixers regardless of age or model. The bowls are considered accessories and those need to be specific to each model, but the tilt head mixers such as the 4.5 and 5 quart mixers have interchangeable accessories. The bowls can be used between the two.

Yes, the Vitamix 7500 (which is a Next Gen), the Pro 300, and the Creations Elite are all the same machine, but they come with different cookbooks, and the Creations Elite comes with a 48 oz carafe instead of the 64 (see https://secure.vitamix.com/Certified-Reconditioned-Next-Generation.aspx?COUPON=06-007021). The 750 Pro is different - it has added presets. A helpful site: http://joyofblending.com/which-vitamix-to-buy/

Basically both are the same machine, except the DM0600 has a glass blender as opposed to plastic for the 500, and 600 has the plastic No Brainer mixing container for many tropical drinks. You pick a drink and it shows how much liquid of each ingredient to add for that beverage. To me, a plastic blender jar was good enough, and although the no brainer would be quick and easy to use, I could easily enough play around with ingredients on my own with out the added cost. You can purchase a glass (and plastic) blender jar and a No Brainer measuring cup separately if you need to.

I use it at work on the Pro600. I don't have the mixer in front of me - but the Pro600 is the model. It works really well.

There is a mix of metal and nylon/plastic gears in the Aristan line models. It makes the mixer quieter that the Pro 600 line, but obviously that makes a difference in it's ability to handle extremely heavy duty work. I've confirmed this information with Kitchenaid Customer Service as of November 19, 2014. They absolutely confirm that there ARE nylon/plastic gears in the Artisan line. I'm not saying it's an inferior model, just different.

I have both a 5000 (the predecessor to the 5200) and a Pro 750 (like the 300, but with the addition of 5 presets). The 300 is a Next Generation Vitamix as are the 7500 and the Pro 750. These machines come equipped with a low profile, wide bottom, 64 oz. container with a 4 inch blade, which is far more efficient than the standard tall and narrow 64 oz. container with a 3 inch blade that's used with earlier models. The wider bottom makes it much easier to remove heavy and/or sticky contents from the container, and the 4 inch blade makes quick work of everything. It's not really that the newer models don't handle small quantities well, it that the new container with the wider bottom requires more volume to cover the blades. Therefore, batches under two cups are best processed in a smaller container. I have a 32 ounce container that I originally bought to use with my 5000 when I needed to make a small batch of something, like salad dressing for example. I find it's also the perfect container to use for making small batches with my Pro 750. In my opinion, the Next Generation series of machines are far superior to previous models.

I have the Kitchenaid 600 Professional and the KA-6L works fine.... make sure you did not get the 5 1/2 qt model that Costco sells.. See Amazon KA-6L for the list of models it fits...
