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!

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.

I have a contact at Kitchenaid & she looked up your model of Kitchenaid mixer (KP26M1X) & the flex edge beater model that fits your mixer is the KFE6L, so this is the correct flex edge beater for your Kitchenaid 6qt 600 Pro mixer. =)

I have the Artisan Mixer. I love this smaller bowl for smaller mixing quantities. I would advise you contact KitchenAid to see if the bowl is compatible with your particular mixer before you purchase.

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.

On September 7, 2009, we 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 we 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

I've owned both the 5200 and the 300. I prefer the Pro 300 because of the container. I rarely have to use the tamper when making smoothies whereas the 5200 I was regularly having to use the tamper to push down the green smoothie ingredients (leafy greens, frozen fruit). I have a smaller 32oz container I use when processing smaller volume of ingredients. The container for the 300 builds up more mineral deposits than when the container for the 5200. I don't know why that is but I have to use vinegar and scrub down the container to remove the deposits. With the Pro 300, I haven't yet experienced that auto shut off that I often did with the 5200.

I can't answer that question. My professional model was purchased in December, 2011; had to be immediately replaced and by July 2013 was inoperable. After 2 months in the KitchenAid-certified repair shop was determined to be irreparable. I now have a rather expensive door-stop. The machine was never operated outside specifications and was imperfect when it arrived (e.g., bent appliance hook, dripped grease into the mixing bowl, etc.). KitchenAid offered to sell me a replacement machine at a discount. Why would I do that? I will be purchasing a Bosch to replace it.

The Artisan model has a larger mixing bowl (5qt) with a handle on it, and a larger motor 350watts. Easier to use than the Classic due to the ergonomics of the bowl, less motor strain when mixing heavy doughs or large batches.

I use it with a pro 600. It didn't match the curve of the bowl exactly but was close enough for a good wipe. There is an adjustment screw for lift height on the mixer that I had to loosen because the beater was very tight against the bowl bottom.

I have a 600 pro and it fits... i would suggest emailing kitchenaid.com and live chat with someone who can further assist you... if it fits your mixer, I would strongly suggest you get it. It makes amazing frosting (high for 4-5 minutes)!

Size/capacity and ease of cleaning. the pro is smaller, but faster and much easier to clean. The tec is larger but takes much longer and is more difficult to keep clean. Also you can only froth milk in the Tec any powder mixes clog it up whereas the pro is great fro mixing chai and hot chocolates. We use both and hands down the pro works great and is a super easy to clean. We also have a 500ml Secura Automatic Electric Milk Frother and Warmer like the tech it has a larger capacity and can only froth milk (no powders) but it is super fast. on the downside it's got electronics on the pot itself which makes cleaning a little more delicate.

I bought it for a 6qt pro. I don't think it will the artisan is a smaller diameter. Search the whip based off the serial or model number of your mixer.

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?

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.

If it's a "Kitchenaid 5qt mixer" then yes...... Since Artisan is a model of that "Kitchenaid 5qt mixer" and that takes the same attachment as all for the "Kitchenaid 5qt mixers"... BTW it's the best attachment we own for it....

I have both. The Vitamix is gathering dust. Sure it can make soup... like 1 recipe (all the other ones require prep work like steam something first, who wants that). SO for the 99% of the job, making smoothies, this is 90% as powerful and will crush ice and frozen foods just like a Vitamix. The only downside is size. We almost always use the 1 Collossal cup and we fill it up way past the limit line. But it wont' make as much as a Vitamix if you plan on making smoothies for 4 people. BUT the upside is the speed of cleaning. It actually might be faster and easier to just make 2 smoothies vs cleaning the vitamix. So go get it, if you haven't already. And don't get the 600, get the 900.
