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!

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.

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 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 do not know if the drive mechanism is different in the artisan series. Chances are that the part will work for you but on the safe side, ask kitchenaid.

Mine is 325 watts. It is the Artisan model. The base model is 300 according to the specs on line. I believe the Pro600 which is the lift bowl model, has 575 watts so it is significantly more powerful. You may need a little more oomph in your circuits to support that to keep from blowing circuits according to my semi-sparky hubby. I hope some other bakers weigh in on this as I am a neophyte.

Yes - I have the Pro 600 and this 7 quart mixer. The bowls can be used on either machine - 6 on the 7 and 7 on the 6.

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 own an artisan 810. It works great for us, we have had for over two years (we think).

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.

You will need to get the KitchenAid Artisan Mixer 5KSM150PSE. This mixer will run on 220V. These are made for the overseas market. I hope this information helps.

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.

Cooks Illustrated rated the Kitchen Aide higher.The word on the latest generation of Cuisinarts is NOT that great.You might also look into the French made Magimix. I've heard it is great but I've only seen it in catalogs & it looks like it has a rather LARGE footprint.

It does great for home based quantities, we used it for bread. But I think it's underpowered and undersized for this. Step up to the 600, can't remember the exact model but it's larger and heavier. That is what we needed to do. If you price shop you'll find the heavier one for just a little bit more. I bought one of the heavier new and one of the heavier factory refurbished for my daughter. The first refurb had a bit of noise; they replaced it right away and the replacement has been fine for 5 years.Hope this helps!

The answer to your question is yes, many attachments for your model; actually you will find the attachments work for all the stand mixers. The 600 Pro series is not an odd model. As a professional chef I find having 6qt capabilities works out better for me. I know many people purchase the K5 or K600 Pro because of how it looks in a kitchen. All I would suggest it take it for a spin. Make something; you will never just have it for decoration.

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.
