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'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 am not sure if I have had both to compare. Mine is the 5 speed and I am happy with that. What I liked most is that the regular and dough beaters are stronger than the ones I had with my last Kitchenaid.

It is difficult to move the mixer on our counter top. You must lift it to move it. We have done several large bread and cookie dough batches and it has not moved at all. I am not familiar with the Artisan model except we wanted the larger motor and all metal gears for longevity. So far it has not disappointed us. I also read the 7 quart model has a die-cast frame which might be heavier resulting in more grab when sitting on our counter top. So far we have not noticed any movement at all.

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

I thought discussion was between "Artisan" and "Classic", not "Pro".... But in any case, I have had a "Classic" for about 15 years now, and my Wife just bought me an "Artisan" to take to Florida with us since we've become "snow birds" this year for the first time. And I turned them both on and the Classic definitely spins at a noticeably faster speed on all settings including the fastest speed setting, whereas the Artisan spins slower. I don't know about "when under load", but if you were whipping egg whites or cream, where the load is very low, I would expect that the old "Classic" would whip them faster on the basis of my "test" above.

Sorry, but I have the KCM534, which I believe is the JavaStudio model. So, I guess I'm not sure about the KitchenAid Pro.

I bought this item for the KitchenAid Pro 600 I have and it works just fine. Scrapes the sides of the mixing bowl that came with the unit.

According to KitchenAid's website, differences are: Artisan has glass bowl, no pouring shield and weighs 29 pounds; KSM152PSNK has polished stainless steel bowl, pouring shield and weighs 27 pounds. KitchenAid's website offers the option to compare models.

I don't know the model numbers of the KitchenAids but it will fit the Classic and Artisan models but NOT the Pro. I have this bowl for my Artisan and I have gifted these to friends who have Classics. It works great!

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)!

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.

Yes, I received the same warranty offer from Kitchenaid on my Pro stand mixer, that I bought from a shopping channel. It's a good deal. I purchased the 10 yr. also for 75 dollars. That has been several years ago.

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.

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 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.

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.
