I think the Pro 600 is the greatest unit of all. I was surprised to hear that the noise it makes sits on Jillie Bean's nerves as mine is no louder than the Artisan models. I love the lift device and the fact I can place up to 14 cups of flour in it at one time. I make biscotti and anyone that has ever made them knows how stiff this dough really is. This unit handles it like nothing. In a few minutes it's all kneaded and ready to place in oven. I just love it and can't recommend it enough. It is worth every penny you pay for it.

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!

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!

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?

This cover fits the tilt-head models. I don't think it will fit the Pro series with the bowl-lift. It fits my Artisan mixer (tilt-head) very snugly & I don't think there is room to accommodate a larger mixer. Keep looking on Amazon, because there is a larger cover that appears (by description) to fit the Professional series.

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 love mynKitchenaid Pro-600. Hated the hand mixer, just because of those stupid wire beaters....I am going to look for a vintage Sunbeam with thenflat beaters. I bought a Cucina Roma Hand mixer becauseit had flat beaters...its a piece of Chinese Junk

I use it at work on the Pro600. I don't have the mixer in front of me - but the Pro600 is the model. It works really well.

I would definitely recommend Cuisinart.... If any indication of Kitchenaid - I ruined one of their top of the line blenders, because of the 'cheap' design and construction. Plus the motor on the Kitchenaid could not stand up to the task of making home-made mayonnaise (which requires an extensive time of blending). The motor on the Cuisinart has a safety 'shut-off', which so far, I have not had to challenge after many uses.....

I've had two KitchenAids. I love the one that is professional grade and 35 years old. They don't make them like they used to. I love my Breville. It's got power for the big jobs. Every Breville product I have gets used often. Used the expression maker everyday for 5 years. When it wore out, we bought another same model.

This one has a prettier bowl. The kitchenaid refurbished is just as good as new and they have been inspected by kitchenaid. You will love it. thanks

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.

It does great for home based quantities, we used it for bread. But I think it's underpowered and undersized for this. Step up to the 600, can't remember the exact model but it's larger and heavier. That is what we needed to do. If you price shop you'll find the heavier one for just a little bit more. I bought one of the heavier new and one of the heavier factory refurbished for my daughter. The first refurb had a bit of noise; they replaced it right away and the replacement has been fine for 5 years.Hope this helps!

I do not know if the drive mechanism is different in the artisan series. Chances are that the part will work for you but on the safe side, ask kitchenaid.

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.

I love my Kitchenaid ultra power 5 and 6 speed and my daughter did also. So I gave her that one and bought the 7 speed for myself. I like it just as well as the 6speed, not much difference just a tiny bit faster on the 7speed. Hope this helps you. I am a senior citizen and have limited storage and this mixer meets all my needs.

The answer is I don't know as I do not have the KitchenAid mixer. But, I do know that KitchenAid has a varity of mixers starting with the KitchenAid Classic 75 model with only a 275 watt motor all the way up to the KitchenAid Pro 600 with a 575 watt motor. All require an additional purchase of the grinder attachment. None of these can match the 600 watt power of the SM-G73 Grinder I described above. So, you decide. I hope this helps.

The answer to your question is yes, many attachments for your model; actually you will find the attachments work for all the stand mixers. The 600 Pro series is not an odd model. As a professional chef I find having 6qt capabilities works out better for me. I know many people purchase the K5 or K600 Pro because of how it looks in a kitchen. All I would suggest it take it for a spin. Make something; you will never just have it for decoration.

I owned a Sunbeam Mixmaster for over 40 years before it finally died and thought I wanted a KitchenAid. I purchased a KitchenAid and just was never satisfied. It never whipped frostings as well as my Sunbeam did and this may have been because of the 2 bowl size and beater position adjustment. I always had to scrape the bottom of the KitchenAid no matter how I tried to adjust. I would suggest stepping up to a slightly more expensive model of Sunbeam as the base on this model is plastic and not a sturdy as I would prefer but I absolutely love everything else . . . and whipped potatoes are also creamy and fluffy once again.
