I think the Pro 600 is the greatest unit of all. I was surprised to hear that the noise it makes sits on Jillie Bean's nerves as mine is no louder than the Artisan models. I love the lift device and the fact I can place up to 14 cups of flour in it at one time. I make biscotti and anyone that has ever made them knows how stiff this dough really is. This unit handles it like nothing. In a few minutes it's all kneaded and ready to place in oven. I just love it and can't recommend it enough. It is worth every penny you pay for it.

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!

If you are going to be making bread, go with the 600 lift-up bowl model, my Artisan can't really handle bread dough gracefully - it really struggles and makes such terrible noises it makes me anxious that it is going to die!

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.

Yes, I received the same warranty offer from Kitchenaid on my Pro stand mixer, that I bought from a shopping channel. It's a good deal. I purchased the 10 yr. also for 75 dollars. That has been several years ago.

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

What is the difference between the artisan series and the professional series?

It should work fine. I have the KitchenAide lift bowl mixer and it works great. In looking at pictures of the KitchAide Artisan mixer the drive mechanism appears the same as the mixer I have. It should work fine if your mixer has a square hole where the attachment goes into the mixer.

I know you specifically asked for those who have owned a Kitchen aid but please allow me to say...when I was researching between these two mixers and another brand (I cant think of right now) what did it for me.....was the warranty and also the reviews. I don't want to purchase anything where customer service literally is poor or I have to worry that within a year I will be out of an expensive item. That is what helped me to purchase the Hamilton Beach. Do your research and compare what are important elements to you in a mixer and then you will make the right decision for you.

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.

We ordered the Professional, but received the everyday model. We reordered and the same unit came, so we just returned the unit. Sorry, but I have no answer for you as to compare of the two.

I just purchased a brand new 5 Quart Artisan Stand Mixer in Reef Blue for $199.00 from our local hardware store in Lovell, WY. (CK Hardware) I also just completed the $30.00 rebate paperwork...which when processed will bring my purchase total to $169.00! (plus tax, of course) Just in case you are shopping...they still had a couple black, two cobalt blue and a white one left! Can't beat this deal anywhere!

I called KitchenAid (1-800-541-6390) the 150 model is a tilt head mixer. The dough hook pictured is NOT for this model. They recommended K45DH, which they sell for $14.99. Also, the burnished aluminum beaters/dough hooks tend to discolor slightly when washed in the dishwasher.

The answer is I don't know as I do not have the KitchenAid mixer. But, I do know that KitchenAid has a varity of mixers starting with the KitchenAid Classic 75 model with only a 275 watt motor all the way up to the KitchenAid Pro 600 with a 575 watt motor. All require an additional purchase of the grinder attachment. None of these can match the 600 watt power of the SM-G73 Grinder I described above. So, you decide. I hope this helps.

the 600 model has more power. this is the 6000 model which has a prettier bowl. thanks

I do not know if the drive mechanism is different in the artisan series. Chances are that the part will work for you but on the safe side, ask kitchenaid.

If you click on the picture, Amazon takes you to the page for the LIFT stand mixer, and you have to select 5 or 6 quart. This will NOT fit a TILT stand mixer. I tried to search what I assume was the model of your mixer, but couldn't figure it out.if you have the tilt head model, this is the link New Metro Design Beater Blade Pro Food Service and Restaurant Use KitchenAid 5-Quart Tilt Head Models - Yellow with Grey Blades

I have the Artisan 810 and it is a major ink hog. Probably will return to HP and accept some of their flaws. At least the HP ink is a lot less expensive that the Epson. Too bad since in most other aspects, the 810 is a decent all in one unit.
