KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-quart Stand Mixer Review Summary

Value conscious reviewers couldn’t say enough good things about the KitchenAid Mixer. Reviewers report that the Kitchen Aid Mixer is very versatile, “I’ve ground meat, made pasta, pureed vegetables, and grated cheese” raved one reviewer. Worried about durability? Some of our reviewers have used this product for up to four times a week over a twenty year period. The Kitchen Aid Mixer is very fashionable, say our reviewers, and it comes in many colors, but one Viewpoints member says “buy it in white. It hides the residual flower. Feel free to compare, Viewpoints has lots more mixer reviews.

Growing up overseas, we made everything from scratch, from cakes to bread.  My mother had a KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer that handled the salt air of a tropical island for more than 15 years and is still functioning now that they're back in the US.  Because food plays a big...

We purchased the KitchenAid 600 series 6-quart stand mixer 9 years ago at a store that was going out of business, so the price was excellent.  We thought that we were making a good purchase that would last us years to come.  My husband is a professional pastry chef and he read several reviews in kitchen...

I have used many mixers over the years in my kitchen but the KitchenAid Professional 600 6qt 575 Watt Stand Mixer is by far the absolute BEST that I have ever had / used!  I am an avid baker and can't live without this one.  I have had a KitchenAid stand mixer for years and recently upgraded to the professional unit for added versatility.  (The previous model - which still works perfectly - I gave to my sister and she absolutely loves that it!!) 

This model - because it is for the "professional kitchen" - is one that will handle almost any job.  It comes with a 6 quart stainless steel...

We bought a Kitchen Aid 600 series about 5 years ago, and have never been disappointed.  It has stood up remarkably well to everything we've put it through.  It can mix almost anything (even stiffer cookie dough), and cleans up quickly.  We have the grater attachment, the meat grinder attachment, and love them both.  It grates cheese easily and quickly, odes a great job shredding or chopping vegetables.  We use the meat grinder making sausage, and have never had a problem yet. 

The customer service is wonderful.  We had a piece break on the grater attachement, and called to find out if...

I received my Kitchen Aid Artisian mixer for my birthday.  I love it..gosh, that sounds so corny, but I do.  Using it makes baking so much easier.  Being a typical woman, multi-tasking is my middle name and with this mixer I can do that...I am not anchored to the counter mixing the batter in the bowl.  I can go over to the pantry and grab the salt I forgot...I can mix the dry ingredients while the butter and sugars mix.  And no matter how stiff the dough is the mixer pushes on through it.  I just purchased a scraping blade to use on it and it is wonderful.  So, bring on the cookie recipes,... review »

The Kitchen Aid Mixer is wonderful.  It is very easy to use and the clean up is not time consuming.  I didn't want my husband to spend the money on it; I thought my little hand held one was fine.  Now that I have the Kitchen Aid Mixer, I use it all the time.  I use it to mix bread, pizza dough, cake mixes, meat loaf and it works so great.  I would give this mixer five stars.

This mixer is the most valuable kitchen appliance I own! I do almost all of my baking through the easy-to-use mixer and it's many accessories. I especially like the dough hook (see below for more comments regarding this). The only down side I could think of was that it is pretty heavy...but that is because it's made of heavy-duty, quality materials. I love the way that it looks too. I can keep it out on the counter so that I do not have to lug it back and forth. My mom had the good idea of putting it on a small cart that she just rolls up to the counter when she needs it and rolls it back into...

 I received this mixer as a wedding gift from my parents almost 20 years ago.  It has had almost daily use, doing everything from whipping cream to cakes and even bread.  With the attachments, I've ground meat, made pasta, pureed vegetables, and grated cheese.  A previous user found the short cord a problem, but as my mixer never leaves the counter, I find this to be an asset.  The mixer stays in a specific spot, near an outlet, and is used all the time.  The bowl and attachments are simple to use and easy to clean, and made to last!  I plan to give each of my children one of these mixers... review »

I have owned a couple of different kitchenaid and other mixers but was really excited when this one was coming out. I have two kids and bake professionally but dont let that word fool you this is for the everyday person if you love to bake. I no longer buy bread why would you when you can easily make multiple batches at once. ever been tired of making a single batch of cookies and there gone in 15 minutes not a problem when quickly and easily you make 3 or more batches at a time. ever have that kid that needs 60 treats to take to school for some event and you spend all night slaving with different...

This mixer by far is the best out there. Martha Stewart herself uses one and I'm proud to say I put mine to good use too especially during the holidays! The mixer comes with 3 attachments which can be interchanged for wisking up some whipped cream, kneading dough for a loaf of bread or, the main attachment, which can be used for beating to mixing. They come in a wide range of colors to go with the simple traditional kitchen to the most colorful one. I personally have the Tangerine one and absolutely love the color it adds to my countertop. It's one of the appliances that I do keep out on the counter...

I recently purchased this Kitchenaid on line and I am oh so very happy with it!! 

Where was it when I was first learning to Cook!  It makes mixing so much faster and easier.  What I used to have to scrape and stop the rotation now is done in half the time!  And the blade goes around and not the bowl.  And the bowl raises up to the blade.  And it is so heavy duty.  My last type of mixer used to seize up and overheat upon making yeast  dough and now my kitchen aid takes care of this and asks for more!! 

It is for sure the saying 'you pay for what you get' when it comes to the best mixer...

My husband bought me the mixer as a Christmas gift. It cost $599.99. Was supposed to be the professional heavy duty mixer. After three uses, which spanned quite a long time ( I was attending college and did not have time for cooking), the gears went. It is still usable but the gears slip and it is noisy. When I contacted Kitchen Aid to purchase a new set of gears for me, they offered to replace the mixer. When I emailed back to find out how to take advantage of the offer I never heard from them again. I emailed a couple times more and never heard a word. So not only am i dissapointed in the mixer,... review »

I got my kitchen aid mixer for Christmas.  I have used it a zillion times already.  Who would have thought a mixer could make such a difference in the end product.  We can taste the difference and see differences in texture of items we have made with the kitchen aid compared to our little hand mixer from before.  Potatoes are creamier, cakes are lighter, etc.

 

I was afraid it would be another one of those small electric appliances we all have and don't ever use after the newness wears off.  This is right on the counter.  It is easy to set up!  Easy to Use!  Easy to Clean UP!

 

Why didn't...

Kitchen Aid brand products have been around for a long time.  My Mom got one when she was first married in 1942.  When she died in 1997, it was still working!  You just can't beat that kind of reliability.  I get nostalgic thinking about all the wonderful desserts that my mom whipped up with that mixer.  My Dad had a big sweet tooth, so that mixer saw some serious milage!  Back then I think the mixer was only made in basic white, with big heavy glass bowls.  These days, the mixer comes with lightweight stainless steel bowls, and in an array of colors to match your kitchen decor.  I highly... review »
