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!

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?

Mine is 325 watts. It is the Artisan model. The base model is 300 according to the specs on line. I believe the Pro600 which is the lift bowl model, has 575 watts so it is significantly more powerful. You may need a little more oomph in your circuits to support that to keep from blowing circuits according to my semi-sparky hubby. I hope some other bakers weigh in on this as I am a neophyte.

Hi all,Don't feel too bad about prices for your KitchenAid Artisan mixer in the States. I bought my wife the Empire Red one here in Australia for Christmas and it was A$730 (about US$645 at today's exchange rate). They used to be more expensive! Fantastic machine........I just wish they were a bit cheaper here!!!

On September 7, 2009, I bought a black onyx Kitchen-Aid Artisan 5 quart stand mixer from Bed, Bath and Beyond in Dayton, Ohio, for $232.92 including tax, . Normally it would have been $299.99 but I used one of their 20% off coupons. (Apparently, Artisan mixer prices vary according to the colors as well as where one buys the product.) Amazon wanted $289.95 but the S & H was not included. Kohl's was having one of their "best prices of the season sale" and they wanted the full $349.99 that is Kitchen-Aid's asking price.

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

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 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 experience on the Artisan 725. I have two systems installed in the Artisan 800 and they work flawlessly. I had to cut opening on the right side of the printer to prevent the ribbon hose from pinching. Color on photo prints are excellent. I've just ordered my first refill kit after 1.5 years of use.

Yes, the Vitamix 7500 (which is a Next Gen), the Pro 300, and the Creations Elite are all the same machine, but they come with different cookbooks, and the Creations Elite comes with a 48 oz carafe instead of the 64 (see https://secure.vitamix.com/Certified-Reconditioned-Next-Generation.aspx?COUPON=06-007021). The 750 Pro is different - it has added presets. A helpful site: http://joyofblending.com/which-vitamix-to-buy/

Couldn't say. I have the 600 Pro as well, but the beater I received doesn't fit - can't even get it on. It doesn't have the proper hole at the top to slide onto the metal attachment holder. They won't give me a full refund because they say it is "factory", but I bought one in the "store" in "KitchenAid" packaging and it works perfectly.

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.

Both are very good mixers. The Cuisinart has a more powerful motor, but that is hardly an issue since the Kitchen Aid's motor is more than powerful enough. We returned our Cuisinart for the Kitchen Aid due to poor customer service. See my review here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R250HLS1S4GLDK/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm/?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B000ON4B3U

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.....

The Professional 300 is the same as the 750 except for the presets on the dial. 300 has only numbers 1-10 -- all you really ever need :-) Awesome Blender.

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