I just ordered this beautiful mixer and can't wait for it to come! Love the color and glass bowl. I look forward to learning new recipes and cooking and baking new things. I've never had a KitchenAid stand mixer. My present mixer is an old Sunbeam, which still works, but is over 40 years old. After I learn and get familiar with all I can do, I probably will order other attachments and maybe a stainless steel bowl. Someone told me I'd have to change my will, because the mixer will last longer than me and that I needed to leave it to someone I really love!

no, you cant use the pour guard with the glass mixing bowl because the glass bowl has a spout built into it. But, I found i did not need the pour guard with this bowl because it was wider than my previous bowl i had for my classic KA. Anyway, just keep in mind that you can switch to a different mixing bowl if this is an issue for you. I love mine!

Can you use the pour guard with the glass bowl?? It's not offered as an accessory, so I'm concerned. Thank you!

As previous person said, the bowl turns but not the blade. Since you said you did not add the ingredients before turning it on, the only thing I can think of is the mixture itself. By any chance, was this a fruit based ice cream? If so, did you add the fruit to the ice cream before you poured the base into the bowl? I added fruit too early in the process one time and the ice cream, which was almost "done ", became liquid again.

I've had my KitchenAid mixer for years now (brushed nickel color) and no scratches- still looks new (and yes, I do use it!)

Folks, Let me put everyones mind at ease about this metal or plastic transmission housing issue in the pro 600 mixers. First, let me start by telling you that I have 3 kitchenaid mixers, a 275 watt, a 300 watt, and I have a pro 600 comming monday. All of these mixers I bought for less than $100.00 each because they needed to be repaired, the first one I repaired in about 5 min at no cost, the second one was tougher, It took about twenty minutes to fix that one at a whopping $6.00 plus shipping, It's a black 300 watt that's only two years old and looks like new, it's running strong. My point is, these kitchenaids are so easy to fix that anyone, can repair any problem, from 250 watt up to the 575 watt mixers in about 20 min., if you only take one 10 min. coffee break. Now, let me get to the point, If you have a pro 600 with a plastic transmission cover, dont frett, were going to fix it. Get online and go to: buy-it-nowstore.com and purchase the metal transmission housing from them for $12.99 + shipping. When I recieve my pro 600 monday, I will take it apart and write a step by step procedure to replace the plastic housing with the metal housing, then I will write it here on this descussion page for anyone to follow. I will not be responsable for any damage to your mixer, or injury you may incur to yourself. You may follow my instruction, at your own risk. If you feel like it is within your mechanical ability to complete the task, go for it, if your not sure if you can do it, take your mixer to a repair shop and let them install your new metal housing. "Problem solved". I will be back here next week to write the procedure, It's very simple.

Thank you so much for posting. I also got mine at a goodwill! Love this maker though. Would buy a new one but this one still works great!

Send it back. I returned mine. It had at least 3 major defects plus was missing an integral part. KitchenAid should be ashamed!

I bought the whole thing, right here on Amazon, what happened to the tower? I admit I don't use mine very often, but am pretty gentle cleaning it. Have you tried a kitchen store or writing to Rival itself? Questions...

Order again. Mine came in perfect condition. Friend just got one and hers came just like mine.

Yes, I had no problems with it. I actually bought it as a 2nd mixer. I have a big Kitchen Aide and needed another because I bake so much. I used it quite often until I accidentally knocked the hand held part off the counter and it broke into about 3 pieces. :(

I got mine a few years back, and it came with the stainless mixing bowl, dough hook, regular beater, whipping beater, and manual. It looked brand new. I'm sure you would have to check the listing for what is included with the machine you buy. That's usually what comes with it, and everything else would be extra. I bought an extra bowl which is very handy when baking. I really like the mixer.

Mine is a licorice and also has a WU23 serial number like A. Oglesby. From the way they ship I would have guessed they get dropped shipped direct from the Kitchenaid factory, not some Amazon warehouse. For those saying they got plastic, what serial number series do you have (first two letters and two numbers)?

I sent mine back. It made funny noise when it was working on a double batch of cookies. And it didn't come with a smaller bowl. Not impressed.

Hi I actually don't own one of these models. I paid for it last year as a christmas gift for my son,only to be told one week before christmas,sorry your order actually wasnt shipped and my money was refunded,with no other explanation or apology. Very very dissapointing.

They did make improvements on the bowl. It is noticeably stronger than it used to be. That was a concern of mine as well. The removable plate doesn't seem to heat up in same amount of time the older model did. But the difference is minor. Being able to clean it properly is worth it. Haven't seen a bit of yellowing. I'm happy with mine. Hope this was helpful:)

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. I bought this as a gift for my daughter. When I visited her and saw her food processor, I was disappointed that it was not as heavy as mine. The weight might be a factor, but I have not asked her if hers is working well. My KitchenAid is an older model. Don't think it's your fault. w

Don't know if you have received any feedback re: bread making, but I've got the same question(s). Is the 9 cup model powerful enough and large enough to initially mix up a dough ball? I'm replacing a smaller food processor primarily for that purpose and don't want to find this is the wrong machine after I buy it.

Sunbeam FPSBSM21MR-BND Heritage Series 12-Speed 350-watt Stand Mixer Bundle with Bowl, 2.2-Quart and 4.6-Quart, Red I like mine and I generally only mix up cookies. Occasionally, I'll do bread dough. Find a friend or family who has this or a Kitchenaid style and ask to test them out....before buying either. I personally, prefer being able to turn the bowl, which you cannot do with Kitchenaid. Regarding bread dough. Follow the recipe (do not double) that will come with the Sunbeam Heritage mixer...or any stand mixer. You are to add flour and mix until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. It will still be wadded up in the dough hooks but come off easily enough.
