 My fault, not the mixer's February 2, 2006
E. Krag (Batesville, VA USA)
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I was given this mixer for Christmas after yearning for one (apparently rather loudly) for many months. I pulled the beautiful machine out of the box (good workout) and looked at it reverently, then set about mixing up a loaf of bread. Normally I'm the sort of person who reads directions, etc. I did read and follow the directions on mixing bread dough, but for some unknown reason the bowl rocked and bumped and banged on its hinges, and I thought, "what a ridiculous design! This can't be right!" I was getting ready to call up the company when I thought to read through a few of these reviews and got to one MANY reviews down that sighed over the fact that people blame the machine for loud noises coming from the bowl when in fact they simply have not read the directions properly. Ding! The bowl does fit down over two knobs on the sides, but this does not hold it stable. There is a simple locking mechanism at the back, in the middle of the bowl. After reading the review, I ran into the kitchen, snapped the thing into place, and now it's as solid as you please. Needless to say, I'm feeling quite silly, but I am generally a relatively intelligent person, so thought perhaps others could use a tip on this point. Sigh.
 Steel 'Dust' in our food ! January 6, 2006

Since we have children with 'tricky' food allergies, we feel safer making ALL of our bread, pizza dough, cookies, cakes, pasta, etc at home... My wife was interested in Kitchen Aid, so I bought her the top of the line Pro 6 as I knew she would be using the machine extensively and she needed something reliable and robust. A month ago, we started getting small amounts of 'steel dust' in our bread... at first we thought there might be something wrong with the flour itself but when the problem re-occured, I decided to go and check for myself and dismantled the Pro 6. Upon opening up the mechanism, close to a full cup of gear steel dust came out... the machine had been noisy but I had never thought it was grinding itself up !!! We had purchased the machine 14 months ago (2 months over warranty)... the service center folks were at first saying that I shouldn't have dismantled the machine and that the warranty was therefore void... however, after discussions, they agreed to take it back (as of course dismantling it did not result in the gears instantly grinding themselves up... that had been a problem that had started probably from the start) and they will fully replace the machine... I am hoping that the old one was a 'lemon' and that the new one will meet our expectations... However, from my experience, if you will be making an extensive use of a mixer, do your research to make sure it can handle the load.
You Can't Hurt This Mighty Mixer December 1, 2005

I have owned one of these original KitchenAid mixers for over ten years, and I used my mother's for years and years before that. I have to say that I have never had a more powerful, reliable, and versatile mixer in my life. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's worth it.
I have used this mixer for everything from whipping stiff peaks in a cold bowl full of egg whites to insanely thick monster cookies, and the mixer was able to handle it all. I have personally seen lesser mixers puff out smoke and die with my sister-in-law's monster cookie recipe, and this mixer takes it in stride with hardly a wheeze. The dough hook kneads bread perfectly and consistently every time and the mixing attachment makes silky cakes with ease.
It is important to note that some time in the last ten years KitchenAid changed the bowl design just enough so that older paddles and whisks like mine don't work with the newer bowls. If you have a bunch of attachments lying around from an older version of this mixer, don't expect them to work with the new model. Other than that, this mixer is a baker's dream.
I love my Kitchen Aid November 26, 2005

I recieved my Kitchen Aid about 3 years ago for christmas, I had been wanting one for years.
I make alot of double batch cookies and breads with no problems at all, the 6-Quart Professional stand mixer lives up to its name, the quality construction and all metal body does make it quite heavy but thats ok by me, I have a spot for it and thats where it stays, just like my oven and refrigerator its a part of my Kithen.
I highly recommend this machine to all of us who love to cook and bake.
I just cant understand having anything negative to say about the Kitchen Aid, unless its not being used properly, the directions give you step by step instructions on its proper use, I also think that maybe some people arnt getting the bowl on properly and thats whats causing the loud bumping noises.
Lost without it! October 21, 2005

This stand mixer is wonderful! I have a husband and 5 boys and I cook all the time. The large, heavy duty size is great for us. It's powerful and versatile and makes everything from cookie dough, bread dough and whipped cream easily! I whip up batches of play dough for the kids in no time. This mixer still works perfectly after about 6 years of constant use!
