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!

I had a Ninja Pro and returned it. I'm not sure why it gets good reviews. As far as I am concerned it isn't a blender. I tried to make blender hollandaise sauce in the ninja and my old $35 Oster blender did a better job. It is a decent smoothie maker but not as good as the Breville. The Breville does everything I need. I make a smoothie every day and even the greens get chopped up smooth. Never got close to that with the Ninja. Hollandaise sauce comes out great. The best decision I made was to return the Ninja and get a Breville.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

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.

I own an artisan 810. It works great for us, we have had for over two years (we think).

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.

Looks like the Pro 500. It's marked on the item on the face . Excellent Blender.

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 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.

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

Yes, the bowl works well with the Pro 600. The only problem for me is that the whip attachment is not the best when whipping small batches. For small batches, I prefer to use a hand mixer together with this bowl.

I have the Kitchenaid Professional 600 and the paddle fits perfectly. Oh, and I love it!!

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.

I am not sure if I have had both to compare. Mine is the 5 speed and I am happy with that. What I liked most is that the regular and dough beaters are stronger than the ones I had with my last Kitchenaid.

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?

On September 7, 2009, we 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 we 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

I don't know the model numbers of the KitchenAids but it will fit the Classic and Artisan models but NOT the Pro. I have this bowl for my Artisan and I have gifted these to friends who have Classics. It works great!
