Has anyone had both the lift stand mixer vs the tilt stand mixer? I was wondering which one is easier to work with.

I have the tilt head and bought my sister a lift one without realizing it. After baking at her house, I regret it. The bowl is VERY DIFFICULT to attach and detatch, and you need to detatch it in order to get to the stuff in the bowl since you can't tilt the head out of the way. The tilt head has a simple twist to get off the bowl. The lift head doesn't lift enough for you to mix the ingredients that went up on the sides back in or really do anything. I hear the lift is more powerful. If you're just making meringues and cookies, I'd definitely stick with the tilt head.

The lift stand mixers have a much better motor in them. making the head heavier, causing the design difference. The tilt head mixers don't compare to the lift models. I wouldn't trade my lift stand for a tilt model ever. The lift stands are just built so much better there isn't really a comparison.

I believe that this particular blade only fits the TILT HEAD mixers. I have one of the very old professional models where the head does not tip back, it does not fit those models.

I'm not sure what you mean by adjust the mixer. But you can use either or both when mixing something. Sometimes I would start with the regular beater and then switch to the side swipe.

When did you buy the mixer and where? I just ordered the Pro 600 from Amazon today and would love to get my hands on that kind of extended warranty.

I would think that the base of the stand mixer would be too wide for it not to mention the heaviness. I just don't believe it would hold up very long under the weight of the stand mixer.

Which Stand did you end up buying? I am looking for decent one that is compatible with this kit. I would greatly appreciate your input.

My daughter owns a Kitchen Aid and I would put this mixer up against hers anytime. The only problem I have with it is that the very bottom of the bowl doesn't get mixed in. However, my daughter has the same problem with the KA. Thus, when I finish mixing, I just make sure i hand mix the bottom for a few seconds and voila! All done. I love this mixer! Easy to use and has all of the attachments you need.!

I just used mine today with the bowl lift mixer and it was absolutely awesome!

My husband bought me the bowl lift because I wanted to have the water/ice jacket. Turns out I have never gotten around to using the jacket, but I detest the bowl lift and wish I had gotten an artisan instead. It's real messy to remove the bowl or beater and you lose batter in the process. With my old tilt-head sunbeam, I used to lift the beaters just above the batter and turn it on low so that centrifugal force would send most of the dough off the beaters back into the bowl. Can't do that with a bowl-lift.

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

Having never seen an Oster stand mixer, I can't say that the Kitchen Aid mixer would work. I just know it really works very well on our Kitchen Aid mixer. I bought a reconditioned mixer and it is in like new condition; the cost was very competitive with other grinders and surely saves lots of hand work over my old hand good grinder.l

Some prefer the tilt head, others prefer the bowl lift models. I've only ever owned bow lift models because they're heavier duty and I use mine for bread dough. If you have low hanging upper cabinets, you'll need the tilt head model.

I am very happy with the reverb and echo effects. I have the 1202FX. you have total control, I have a much bigger control and cost more but I like the control I have with the 1202FX reverb. I ran a 5 piece band with big equipment and this mixer could have ran the whole show. Wish I could have had it in the day. I would consider myself a pro, made a living at it for several years.

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.

That's an excellent question. I had no prior experience with a stand mixer, so was surprised how fast the slow/low speed was . . . however, it serves great. There are some cakes I still choose to mix by hand, because overmixing will 'toughen' the end result. But for bread, this is unbeatable!!

This bowl is setup to be used on tilt head mixer only. If you have a lift bowl type this one will not work
