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!

Looks like the Pro 500. It's marked on the item on the face . Excellent Blender.

Hi all,Don't feel too bad about prices for your KitchenAid Artisan mixer in the States. I bought my wife the Empire Red one here in Australia for Christmas and it was A$730 (about US$645 at today's exchange rate). They used to be more expensive! Fantastic machine........I just wish they were a bit cheaper here!!!

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)!

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.

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.

The KitchenAid 9 speed (Professional 9) model # KHM9WH5 is in fact a "Household Mixer" Is rated as .6Amp 120V AC @60 Hz .....there is no stated watts output for the motor.

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.

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?

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 don't know about the R200, but I'd sure steer clear of the Artisan 50. I set it up and ran exactly 3 prints, one in color, and sent it back. Color was poor and the machine was amazingly noisy for such a small printer. Even noisy in b&w. And, it took forever to get one print out of it.

Did any of you see the Popular Mechanix video that tested blenders? Neither the blentec or the vitamix comes out looking very good. I've been using my Kitchenaid 5-speed, which won the competition, everyday for green smoothies and it does a great job at a fraction of the cost.

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.

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!

I think you will find this link very helpful in answering your question. I did not know much about the Professional, so this is the best I can do for you. I learned a lot from it. http://www.smallapplianceshortcuts.com/mixers/which-is-the-best-kitchenaid-mixer-for-me/

THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE COSTCO PRO 600 6QT Mixer! Found some new info and this blade is most definitely NOT compatible with the PRO 600 Series KitchenAid Costco is selling. There are multiple comments on the product and its new bowl design being more narrow and deep than the traditional 6 QT model. It is indeed 6 QTs, just a new bowl design, possibly just designed for Costco. You can clearly see the difference when comparing pictures. I saw this review there that was helpful too: ""the bowl is taller and narrower than any of the PRO 600 models, it is still 6 qts, but it will not work with the Metro Designs BeaterBlade for 6 qt KA mixers (KA-6L)" Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who purchased theirs from Costco. It appears that, per KitchenAid, none of the regular KA accessories, IE Lids and Pouring Shields don't fit this bowl either. Their only recommendation is to buy a 5QT bowl (apparently the regular 6 QT won't fit) and buy the accessories you want for that bowl. So sorry I can't use this product with my new mixer. I did notice that the new bowl does seem to do better with the factory attachments, so I may not even need an attachment like this. Hope that helps!

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.
