KitchenAid Professional 600-Empire Red
User 1: I am actually going to compare this mixer with the 5 Qt mixer I had (Artisan series). So here are my observations (First the bad)…
*It uses 50% more electricity than the Artisan and also makes more noise. However, in spite of this higher power consumption and noise, I haven’t been able to get it to do more than my old Artisan with respect to the size of dough I can mix at a time.
*The Artisan’s implements are dishwasher-safe but those for the Pro 600 aren’t.
Now to the good about it…
*It has a superior dough hook.
*It has a soft start feature.
*It comes with a larger bowl.
*You have clearer differences in speed.
If you don’t have money to spare, I don’t think that the Pro 600 is a massive improvement over the Artisan series. Therefore, in my opinion, I’d encourage you to get one of those Artisan series. The difference in price is much but the difference in performance and features isn’t.
User 2: I nearly didn’t buy this mixer because of the bad-mouthing I saw online. However, I am glad I did as it has exceeded my expectations and so gets a five star rating from me. Here are my observations…
*This machine is a bit louder than my small mixer but that should be expected from something more powerful — At least, that was my thinking until I started working on some dough and discovered that it isn’t that loud once it has something to work on.
*You will get the best use from this mixer if you stick to the recommendations of the manufacturers. My personal observation is that you shouldn’t do beyond 8 cups per batch unless you are using all purpose flour.

User 3: I took my time to do due diligence before committing several hundred dollars in a stand mixer and I am glad I ended up with this. It’s important that you also take the time to do your research and ensure you are patient and diligent enough to read through the manual before you start using it — I believe this will save you a lot of headaches.
One mistake you must NOT make is go over the top with gluten flour since you’ve heard that this is a powerful mixer. The truth is that it really is very powerful but has its limitation (It’s NOT an industrial machine for all its power).
If you want a mixer you can count on always, get this one. I know there’s the temptation to go for cheaper models, don’t make this mistake as you will discover when you are dealing with heavier loads that the compromise wasn’t worth it. The Pro 600 is built to last and that’s something I look for my kitchen appliances. This mixer is certainly recommended by me.
