2 out of 5 stars Poor quality product demeans good name   August 20, 2008
mark poyhonen
I had a smaller model kitchen aid mixer that finally wore out after years of use and because I still had attachments that worked well, and a great respect for the product, I decided to get a larger model - a professional 600. This product does not deliver the quality of what Kichen Aid products used to represent. Large jobs overheat the motor causing it to turn off. I like the idea of it turning off instead of burning up but, in my case a large job is two batches of bread run back to back. This 'Pro' cannot handle long run times using larger recipes, (I refer to the recipes included with the mixer). In my opinion, this product is a waste of money because it does not perform as advertised. Motor overheating seems to be a common complaint from reviews I have seen on the internet and I can surely vouch for the accuracy of the motor overheating during NORMAL operation. I think Kitchen aid was bought out by some other corp. and the result is poor quality products that sell for a respected quality price. They also ignore e-mails.

we got this as a wedding gift in march '08, we've been using it to make whole wheat bread every week since!
In the beginning I was nervous about using all whole wheat flour because i heard some people had problems with it, but then we decided to try using only whole wheat and it worked gr8!! we make a nice 3 loaf batch every week now!

The Kitchen Aid Professional 600 is the best machine I ever had. Even my husband loves to use it. Now is baking, mixing or everything else realy easy. Even bread is fast prepared and I have the best bread ever.
The delivery was very fast and the package was packed very good.

Thank you very much.



1 out of 5 stars Can't handle heavy duty bread dough   August 4, 2008

I have used this machine to make some twenty loaves of bread over six months. It stuggled with the very first loaf. The machine died in the middle of mixing bagel dough, probably with stripped gears. The machine is outrageously noisey at any speed even with nothing in the bowls. It is a very pricy machine that is not worth a quarter of the price. You'll get a name brand if you buy this, but will not get a product worthy of that name. If you want to buy my extra bowls, etc. Drop me a line you can have them for the shipping cost to your place.
