Product Description
The Professional 600 Series is KitchenAid's most powerful Stand Mixer. Redesigned for the serious home baker, this powerful Stand Mixer features a 575-watt motor with heavy-duty transmission and a 6 quart bowl combined to give you the power and capacity to mix 13 dozen cookies, 8 pounds of mashed potatoes, or over 8 loaves of bread. KitchenAid's unique planetary mixing action provides faster, more thorough blending of ingredients all the way to the edge of the bowl, without ever rotating it. The rugged, all-metal quality construction and Commercial-style motor protection assure a long life of trouble-free, dependable and quiet operation. Other features include a professional style bowl-lift that makes it easy to lift the bowl into the mixing position, 10-speed slide control ranges from a very fast whip to a very slow stir and a power hub for optional attachments. Included with the Stand Mixer, a burnished aluminum flat beater, PowerKnead spiral dough hook (designed to replicate hand-kneading to handle 20% more dough than previous models), a professional wire whip and pouring shield.

 Great! March 16, 2010

I think this is a great mixer. It is big enough yet will do small jobs also.
 Defective Gearbox Housing: Kitchenaid no longer stands behind March 16, 2010
L. Zeimetz (Illinois)
I too, had the same issue with the plastic transmission housing cracking on the mixer. Upon reading the review that Kitchenaid will send out a replacement all metal housing, I contacted customer service via "live chat". I know the previous review is from 2006 but sadly, policy has changed in 2010 and I was even told that that email could not have come from them (I shortened to keep review space constraint):
Posted from "Live Chat" between myself and "Erin M."
Erin M: Thank you for contacting KitchenAid! My name is Erin M. I will be with you momentarily.
L.Zeimetz: ok
Erin M: Thank you again for contacting Kitchen Aid Ms. Ziemetz. Unfortunately, this is not a part that we supply. What state do you live in? We can provide you with some references.
L.Zeimetz: I live in IL. I tried to find a replacement for it and I couldn't find one. I tried to purchase a similar part and it didn't fit. Further research showed this was a common problem with kitchenaids being that the gears were metal but the housing was plastic. So, you are saying that you no longer make these parts?
Erin M: No. We just do not supply them. We have three contacts: (deleted)
L. Zeimetz: There is a review posted on Amazon.com that specifically states and posts an email direct from Kitchenaid that they do. Has a policy changed?
Erin M: I am not sure what you are asking? They have may links for Kitchen Aid from the site.
L. Zeimetz: It was a review about the kitchenaid stand mixer and there is a discussion posted about how these particular models had a defective plastic transmission housing. The reviewer said that he contacted kitchenaid and they sent him a metal replacement housing and then also indicated that the new models hae all metal gear housings. I'm wanting to know if this guy is not correct or if your policy has changed regarding sending out the replacement metal gear housing.
Erin M: This is not a policy that Kitchen Aid has. Unfortunately that site is not affiliated with Kitchen Aid. I am not sure where that information came from. Our warranty is for replacement of the entire unit. We do not send repair parts for stand mixers.
L. Zeimetz: here's the email (copied email from previous reviewer):
Erin M: I have seen this same positing before. It is not from us.
L. Zeimetz: ok. Too bad. Not looking to spend hundreds of dollars to fix this.
L. Zeimetz: thanks for your time.
Erin M: It has been a pleasure assisting you today. Thank you again for contacting Kitchen Aid. We appreciate and value your business. If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Kitchen Aid again.
L. Zeimetz: I however, WILL post this on Amazon to recitfy that other person's error.
Erin M has disconnected.
Great mixer! March 15, 2010

Have used this mixer many times for a variety of things in less than a month. The dough hood is great for making breads, the texture turns out wonderful! The whisk makes whipped cream fast and easy. The regular beater is great for cookies. Highly recommended!
 Kitchenaid 6qt March 12, 2010
Vernon Rosario II (Los Angeles)
I decided to step up from the tilt top 4 qt kitchenaid I'd had for 15 years, since I've been baking bread regularly and was worried about overtaxing the motor. I have to admit I'm ambivalent about this monster, although it was highest rated by Cooks Illustrated.
It's a lot noisier, and seems to be struggling more kneading 6 cups of flour that the old one. There's even a burning smell. It's not as convenient to access as the tilt head. Given it's weight it's more of a bother to move around on the counter. And it really can't whip up small quantities--like 1-2 egg whites, despite adjusting the clearance. We'll see how I grow into it.
Kitchen Aide Pro Mixer March 9, 2010
K. A. Egan (Hyannis, MA)
OH MY WORD - I AM IN LOVE WITH AN OBJECT! NO MAN CAN TEAR ME AWAY FROM THIS! I love to bake, cook, and entertain. I have always wanted a Kitchen Aide mixer and in this economy, when I got my tax refund, I had to really look at where the money would go. It was then that I measured how much happiness I could get from paying a bill or buying this mixer and how much love and happiness I could share among family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers. There is something about home cooked meals, home baked goods, and cookies and cakes that makes people smile, no matter what their circumstances. If I can bring just a little love into someone's life with the finished product that comes from this mixer - I have spent my money well. 5 STARS from me!!!!!!!!!!
