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!

This link to Kitchenaids' web site should get you the right rebate for the Pro 600:http://www.shopkitchenaid.com/pdfs/50HolidaySelect.pdfBy the way, has anyone gotten a packing slip with theirs? Mine did not come with one (and was, I presume, drop shipped direct from Kitchenaid). What are folks using as their proof of purchase in lieu of a register receipt or packing slip? A printed copy of their Amazon invoice?

Check the New Metro blade website. Im not sure. My wife has the KitchenAid Pro 600 with the 6qt bowl.

I believe that this is the better option. I love my KitchenAid mixer, but sometimes it even strains when mixing extra thick cookie dough. I have used this grinder many times and the motor is more than powerful enough, and is very durable. When you consider the cost of the KitchenAid attachment, this really isn't that much more.

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.

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.

No, absolutely love this, haven't noticed any jarring sounds, great looking and inexpensive, comparable quality to the Artisan 810 ... Best Buy? people still going there?

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 think the main difference is that the pro logic is pre seasoned. I can tell you that we love our pro logic. We use it mainly to make artisan bread. It is a perfect size and the crust is always beautiful.

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.

Don't buy either, IMHO. I wanted one for years and finally bought an Artisan, though I only use them for family dinners.On its 5th or 6th use, it dumped grease oil in the food. Just sitting, it started dripping oil, and the gears started sounding distressed.KitchenAid support said this is normal. They said I should run the mixer every couple weeks. On average, over 3 calls to customer support, they indicated it was normal for the gear grease to separate and drip into food.

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.

NO, you will need a mixer, I recommend Kitchen aid Pro Line Series or the Professional 600

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 would go for Jet-600, since it has more spin and grip to it, however you'll have to control your power shots cause it provides extra bounce. Stage Carbon Pro is good too but it doesn't offer you spin that much. Both are professional paddles.

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.
