Professional Quality – At it’s Best!
As a professional chef I tend to overwork and run down many lesser quality home models of mixers. This is my 3rd KitchenAid Mixer. The first two were 5 qt models, one stand the other tilt. Both are still working, I just needed a more commercial version with more horsepower for larger recipes
Let me first go over the Pros of this item:
Heavy duty quality
Commercial cord, so it can be used in a commercial establishment
Easy to clean
Very quiet – quieter than the previous two models
Easy to raise and lower mixing bowl
7 qt bowl allows for larger batch items
Loads of power
Slow start to avoid powder messes in the kitchen
Professional feel
Fits on counter under cabinets
Attachments are dishwasher safe
Now for the Cons:
Does require a large foot print
Bowl does need extra force to lock into place
Working with dough needs a little finesse when first learning
Now, I rated the…
Maybe a little too much for a home kitchen.
Bought refurbished off kitchenaid website in Nov 2012 because it was much cheaper than Amazon but the warranty is only 6 Months instead of two years becuase it was refurbished.
We use it in home kitchen. Plenty big for a double batch of cookies or cake.
Plenty of power we only brought it up to half speed.
Need to start slow or it makes a mess in the kitchen.
Must take off the beater before removing the bowl.
Can not tip our two cup mesuring cup into so have to ladle out the flour.
Can tip the one cup into the bowl.
All the attachements for the other kithenaid stand mixers fit this one also.
The beater can be cleaned in dishwasher but it will discolor.
Easy to clean
have not found a splash guard or pouring ledge for this like the smaller bowls have.
Dont think I could use a smaller bowl with this because the bowl attaches to the stand on 3 sides.
Had I known then what I know now I would have gotten the 600 Professional tilt…
Love My KitchenAid
