# KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Qt Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer **Brand:** KitchenAid | **Category:** Stand Mixers | **Score:** 8.2/10 ## KitchenAid Professional 600 Series Review Are you a serious baker looking for a powerful stand mixer? The KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer might be what you need. With a robust motor and large capacity, it's designed to handle heavy doughs and large batches. But is it the right choice for you? Let's dive into what users are saying. ### Overview The KitchenAid Professional 600 is a bowl-lift stand mixer, meaning the bowl attaches to two arms that raise it into mixing position. This design is generally more stable for heavy mixtures compared to tilt-head models. It boasts a powerful motor and a 6-quart capacity, making it suitable for professional or home bakers who frequently make large quantities. ### Performance Many users praise the mixer's power and ability to handle tough doughs. One YouTube reviewer said, "This is the best mixer I could ever had !!! Very happy to invest in the best !!!" Several users specifically mentioned using it for bread and pizza dough with excellent results. The large capacity is also a plus, allowing you to mix large batches at once. However, a recurring complaint is the noise level. Several reviewers described it as "loud" or "noisy." Some users also noted issues with the bowl height, stating that the attachments don't always reach the bottom of the bowl, leaving ingredients unmixed. Fortunately, many users pointed out the existence of an adjustment screw to fix this. ### Pros & Cons Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons based on user reviews: **Pros:** * Powerful motor handles heavy doughs with ease. * Large 6-quart capacity is great for big batches. * Bowl-lift design provides stability for heavy mixtures. * Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance. * Many users find it easy to use after watching tutorial videos. **Cons:** * Can be quite noisy during operation. * Bowl height may need adjustment for optimal mixing. * Some users reported issues with black residue from the bowl. ### Verdict The KitchenAid Professional 600 Series is a powerful and capable stand mixer that's well-suited for serious bakers who need to mix large quantities of heavy doughs. While the noise level and potential bowl height issues are drawbacks, they can often be mitigated with adjustments. If you need a robust mixer and don't mind a bit of noise, the Professional 600 is a solid choice. ## Scores | Metric | Score | |--------|-------| | Overall | 8.2 | | Durability | 8.5 | | Value for Money | 7 | | Ease of Use | 8.5 | | Design | 7.5 | ## Prices - Amazon: $549.99 ## Buy on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005IBMJ ## Reviews Analyzed: 123 - [Amazon] Mike F (positive): "Cool ballad.
