Cheap Design, Motor Controller Flawed October 11, 2008
Like another reviewer stated, this mixer has the power, but Kitchenaid cheaped out on the design of the supporting components. I use my mixer at least once per week to make bread, marshmellows, etc etc. In the 2 years I have had this mixer, I have now burned out 2 motor controllers (at a cost of $130 a piece to replace!!!)

Right off the bat, I noticed that the mixing bowl actually flexes when your making a batch of bread. That's right, it flexes and distorts and sometimes comes in contact with the mixing paddle.

Like some other reviewers, I also noticed metals shavings during my first few batches of dough (watch out).

This mixer strains under loads that it simply should handle. It overheats very quickly (5 minutes of mixing is all it takes).

And the worst part (no, not the plastic gear box), is that their thermal protection circuitry is flawed. The mixer simply fries itself if you run it for more than 7 or 8 minutes at a time. By "fry", it literally cooks one of the chips on the internal motor control board. KitchenAid will charge your repair man about $70 for that board, and he'll ding you labor on top of that.

If you are looking for a high quality mixer that has plenty of power and can provide you with a lifetime of service, I recommend looking elsewhere or buying an older model or a smaller model

If you are looking for a pretty piece of equipment to show off in your kitchen, then this "professional" model is built for you. Good luck with your decision, as I'm regretting mine.

Satisfied! October 10, 2008

Honestly, I ordered this Kitchenaid mixer for a daughter for Xmas, so it is hidden away, and I have not used it. I know, however, that it will be great and she will love it! You can't get a better mixer, as far as I'm concerned. I am a long-time Kitchenaid mixer user, but am jealous of this great new model for my daughter. The price was great - thanks Amazon! I keep seeing lesser models for more money (plus tax!) in sale flyers and each time I do, I feel even better! Great product, great price, great service!

So far so good October 9, 2008
Matte black stand mixer, is large but not cumbersome. Noisy but nothing more than a food processor or blender. I did not mind the noise. Made an awesome batch of cookies, and a great home made pasta. Can't wait to get some attachements. The stand was delivered quickly. Not much to write yet, but will provide updates as I get more time with the machine.

Best tool in my kitchen October 5, 2008
I have been saving up for over a year to move up to something like this. I have been using a hand mixer for everything. I have a whole list of health problems but I love to be in my kitchen. The mixer makes doing all the harder recipes faster and easier. Anyone who loves feeding people and being inventive in their kitchen needs a mixer this good. I would suggest this to anyone and everyone.

KitchenAid Pro 600 Mixer October 3, 2008
I am very impressed with my mixer. The only problem is getting ingredients into the bowl. I've been trying out recipes from cookies to bread. This machine has made my life so much easier. It's a pleasure to bake now. My husband says stop! I'm making too many good things to eat. This mixer is by far the best mixer I've ever had. Well worth the price.
