I think the Pro 600 is the greatest unit of all. I was surprised to hear that the noise it makes sits on Jillie Bean's nerves as mine is no louder than the Artisan models. I love the lift device and the fact I can place up to 14 cups of flour in it at one time. I make biscotti and anyone that has ever made them knows how stiff this dough really is. This unit handles it like nothing. In a few minutes it's all kneaded and ready to place in oven. I just love it and can't recommend it enough. It is worth every penny you pay for it.

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!

If you are going to be making bread, go with the 600 lift-up bowl model, my Artisan can't really handle bread dough gracefully - it really struggles and makes such terrible noises it makes me anxious that it is going to die!

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?

Not sure. 750 is the artisan series only sold by higher end kitchen stores. Has better book by the actual chef and the biggest 2.2 HP motor as well as 40% quieter than older versions.

They are both great. The pro caster is a little better sounding but it does not have headphone monitoring or usb. If you have a mixer and phantom power and xlr cables and need a mix for more than I one person for an interview, the pro is better

They are both 325 watt 10 speed 5 gal tilt heads. Copper finish seems to always run more. More of availability issue as it isn't solid copper. Glass bowls just came out last year but I resisted. Amazon is always out of the copper finish.The current price is about $200 over what I paid in '05. I have lots of French copper in my kitchen but also have a black 6 qt KA pro which my chef husband wanted. However it is a lift head. Buy what you love they last forever.

Kithcen aid makes two versions and you have noticed someone snuck in a picture of the suspended bowl version. This mixer is the tilt-head version and the bowl sits flat on the mixer base, the head tilts to aloow changing tools. The othe version raises and lowers the bowl with a lever on the unshown side in the picture. Either way, a great mixer at a good price.

I am note aware of that model being sold with a glass bowl, if available it would probably be in the price range of $ 120 just for the bowl. I was about to list on Amazon a KF26M2XGAS, which is a lift bowl style, in the professional 600 575 watt,DESIGNER SERIES MIXER, Green Apple in color. However I have been slow to list it as Amazon does not have a sku number for it. This mixer which you gain 250 more watts, professional grade attachments, with the glass bowl will sale for the area of $ 475. Let me know if your interested in it? Thank you.

What is the difference between the artisan series and the professional series?

I bought the pro myself. I wondered the same question before I bought, but decided on the pro for the simple reason I figured the pro would work more heavy duty. Mine works great and I'm happy with the purchase.

I believe that this is the better option. I love my KitchenAid mixer, but sometimes it even strains when mixing extra thick cookie dough. I have used this grinder many times and the motor is more than powerful enough, and is very durable. When you consider the cost of the KitchenAid attachment, this really isn't that much more.

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.

I have KitchenAid Professional 600 6-qt. with the lock-on lifting bowl, (NOT tilt head) and the blade does NOT fit. My model is KP6M1XNP, so before you buy this blade, look underneath your mixer at the model number to make sure. The package says it "ATTACHES to ALL KA 6qt. Bowl Lift Mixers." Of course it attaches, but it bangs around in the bowl when I turn the mixer on low to med. low. I wouldn't even attempt to try it on high. I will see if I can post a photo of my mixer and this blade. I did not purchase this through Amazon, but from a retail store. However, it s a NewMetro Design brand blade.

This one has a prettier bowl. The kitchenaid refurbished is just as good as new and they have been inspected by kitchenaid. You will love it. thanks

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.

Yes, the bowl works well with the Pro 600. The only problem for me is that the whip attachment is not the best when whipping small batches. For small batches, I prefer to use a hand mixer together with this bowl.

I've had two KitchenAids. I love the one that is professional grade and 35 years old. They don't make them like they used to. I love my Breville. It's got power for the big jobs. Every Breville product I have gets used often. Used the expression maker everyday for 5 years. When it wore out, we bought another same model.

If you click on the picture, Amazon takes you to the page for the LIFT stand mixer, and you have to select 5 or 6 quart. This will NOT fit a TILT stand mixer. I tried to search what I assume was the model of your mixer, but couldn't figure it out.if you have the tilt head model, this is the link New Metro Design Beater Blade Pro Food Service and Restaurant Use KitchenAid 5-Quart Tilt Head Models - Yellow with Grey Blades
