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!

This is a 700 watt motor, and is usually priced at $500!!!! Very comparable to kitchen aid. The HB only has a 350 watt motor. This one is very hi tech. I has 2 seperate motors. 1 that runs the beaters (mixes the stiffest dough-no problem. The other motor runs the bowl turner. GO FOR THIS ONE DEFINITELY!!!!

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.

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 don't have the 600 professional, but all the Kitchen Aid mixers are the same on the ends. That's where this attaches to and Kitchen Aid made all the ends the same size so extra attachments could be used on any mixer. Hope this was helpful. Also, I wouldn't be without this grinder.

Not sure. 750 is the artisan series only sold by higher end kitchen stores. Has better book by the actual chef and the biggest 2.2 HP motor as well as 40% quieter than older versions.

This one has a prettier bowl. The kitchenaid refurbished is just as good as new and they have been inspected by kitchenaid. You will love it. thanks

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.

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.

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.

THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE COSTCO PRO 600 6QT Mixer! Found some new info and this blade is most definitely NOT compatible with the PRO 600 Series KitchenAid Costco is selling. There are multiple comments on the product and its new bowl design being more narrow and deep than the traditional 6 QT model. It is indeed 6 QTs, just a new bowl design, possibly just designed for Costco. You can clearly see the difference when comparing pictures. I saw this review there that was helpful too: ""the bowl is taller and narrower than any of the PRO 600 models, it is still 6 qts, but it will not work with the Metro Designs BeaterBlade for 6 qt KA mixers (KA-6L)" Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who purchased theirs from Costco. It appears that, per KitchenAid, none of the regular KA accessories, IE Lids and Pouring Shields don't fit this bowl either. Their only recommendation is to buy a 5QT bowl (apparently the regular 6 QT won't fit) and buy the accessories you want for that bowl. So sorry I can't use this product with my new mixer. I did notice that the new bowl does seem to do better with the factory attachments, so I may not even need an attachment like this. Hope that helps!

I have both a 5000 (the predecessor to the 5200) and a Pro 750 (like the 300, but with the addition of 5 presets). The 300 is a Next Generation Vitamix as are the 7500 and the Pro 750. These machines come equipped with a low profile, wide bottom, 64 oz. container with a 4 inch blade, which is far more efficient than the standard tall and narrow 64 oz. container with a 3 inch blade that's used with earlier models. The wider bottom makes it much easier to remove heavy and/or sticky contents from the container, and the 4 inch blade makes quick work of everything. It's not really that the newer models don't handle small quantities well, it that the new container with the wider bottom requires more volume to cover the blades. Therefore, batches under two cups are best processed in a smaller container. I have a 32 ounce container that I originally bought to use with my 5000 when I needed to make a small batch of something, like salad dressing for example. I find it's also the perfect container to use for making small batches with my Pro 750. In my opinion, the Next Generation series of machines are far superior to previous models.

Kithcen aid makes two versions and you have noticed someone snuck in a picture of the suspended bowl version. This mixer is the tilt-head version and the bowl sits flat on the mixer base, the head tilts to aloow changing tools. The othe version raises and lowers the bowl with a lever on the unshown side in the picture. Either way, a great mixer at a good price.

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.

The answer to your question is yes, many attachments for your model; actually you will find the attachments work for all the stand mixers. The 600 Pro series is not an odd model. As a professional chef I find having 6qt capabilities works out better for me. I know many people purchase the K5 or K600 Pro because of how it looks in a kitchen. All I would suggest it take it for a spin. Make something; you will never just have it for decoration.

Hello, I have a Kitchen Aid 600 Pro (575 watts) with a 6 qt uplifting bowl-- My bowl has a handle and 2 things on the side that fit into the main mixer. Is this bowl the correct one I should order to have as a spare bowl. Thank you, Pat

I use it at work on the Pro600. I don't have the mixer in front of me - but the Pro600 is the model. It works really well.
