Review: FANTISTIC MIXER - First, let me say desertcart is super-swift in processing orders. I ordered on Sunday (19th) & received in excellent condition (UPS, of course) late morning on Thursday (22nd). Not expecting to receive until Saturday at the earliest. It didn't prove to be a problem on this shipment but there was a sticker on the outside of the box stating that the packing slip was inside the box. There was no packing slip anywhere. I would like to address the negative reviews on this mixer: 1. Beaters clanging side and/or bottom of bowl: I tested with water in the bowl & the beater did touch the bottom in one place - MY ERROR. Bowl was not seated properly on the back side of the bowl. Before realizing it, I moved the set screw & could not tell any difference. It took me about one minute to figure out it was operator error. I readjusted the set screw back to the manufacturer setting as there was obviously no need to change it in the first place. 2. Space, Height, Weight and Tilt Head versus Fixed Head: Being a fixed head actually takes up less space than a tilt head because you're not forced to move it toward the front of the counter in order to use it. Having to move the mixer to tilt the head would mean you would be using even more valuable counter space. My husband is a builder (built our house) & he installs cabinets/countertops to a normal standard. We have at least 2-3" between the top of the mixer & cabinet allowing for heat to escape & to cover the unit without moving it. This mixer only weighs maybe 2 lbs. more than the lesser wattage models. The only time you would need to move it is to give your counter a more thorough cleaning. Yes, it will take some getting used to inserting & taking the bowl out but I think I can manage. This unit is so convenient I may never use a hand mixer again. Ridding myself of the hand mixer would certainly free up an already busy cabinet. 3. Inability to dishwash beaters: Not a problem for me as I only cook for my husband & myself. I clean as I go so the kitchen won't look like an impossible task once I've finished eating. My mother cooks without cleaning during prep & it looks like Hurricane Katrina has taken up permanent residence before she begins cleanup. Since I don't normally use my dishwasher just cooking for 2, I might find it more problematic if I cooked for 4 or more. 4. Mixing 14 cups of flour: I know KitchenAid touts that on the label & in the product description but to me, I don't want to push an appliance to unreal limits. I have to wonder what people are preparing even using 10 cups of flour! Wouldn't it be simpler for them to just spring for a bread machine? 5. 6-Quart Mixer too big for small batches? Why would it make a difference when the beater moves through every part of the bowl? I certainly don't understand why that comment was made. That pretty much sets the record straight on the negativity in the reviews I read. I chose the Nickel Pearl color because it's neutral & will go with any decor. Fingerprints don't show on this color since it is not a shiney finish. "Flour puffs" probably won't show should I overlook one. (By the way, I used a box brownie mix to test it as I was pressed for time & there were no "dust plumes." Although I didn't need it I inserted the pour spout cover just to examine clearance for adding ingredients. The slow start eliminates flying flour). I'm not a flashy gal so red, blue or black were never considered. Why bother with color when I plan to keep it covered anyway. My recommendations are: If you cook, buy good equipment. Looking back, I could kick myself for making me so miserable in the kitchen with cheap stuff. You'll enjoy cooking with the right equipment. And your cooking ventures will prove it to you. Go for the wattage whether you think you need it or not. Cooking habits & desires change with time & circumstances. With this model, you get metal beaters whereas on the lesser models, the flat & dough beaters are plastic. Make sure the mixer has metal gears, not nylon or chances are really good you'll be shopping again soon for another mixer because the nylon gears are stripped. If it's not stated that it has metal gears, it probably has nylon. I did notice on my KitchenAid mixer bowl that the bottom of the stainless bowl where it's concave is finished differetly from the rest of the bowl & left a black substance on my counter top. It wiped up easily but now I know to use a silicone mat or marble hot plate to protect possible damage to my counter. If there's something to dislike about this mixer, it's that there's not as much batter left on the beater for me to lick clean as there was on the beaters of my old glorified Sunbeam mixer diguised as a stand mixer. Review: Great Mixer. Not for Kids. Powerful, fairly quiet.. About as pro as you can go without buying a commercial unit. - EDIT after 3 months of use: I continue to really like this mixer. It's gotten a little less quiet, but is still "quiet' for a stand-mixer of this size and power. Stand-mixers in general are not quiet appliances, so expecting one which literally makes very little noise is not realistic. I am impressed by the efficiency and power of the bread hook. My ciabatta has improved greatly since switched to this machine. I do want to repeat my warning: This is not a machine you should allow children to use. If I had young children, I would not have one in my kitchen, except under lock and key. I was a kid once, so I remember trying things out even when my parents told me absolutely not to do so. The welts have long faded from the several spankings I got after I absolutely did so. In careless or unwitting hands, this is a dangerous piece of kitchen equipment. You wouldn't let your kids play with good kitchen knives or a food processor, so just add this to the list of NOT FOR KIDS. Original comments: This is in-between a commercial model and the usual stand-mixers I've used. It's not for use by children or careless teens. It's for serous cooks. There are some things about it which could present minor safety issues if you're not paying attention - such as not turning off the mixer before you lower the bowl. To repeat: the motor does not turn off when you lower the bowl. That could cause the beater to catch the splash-guard and break it. It could also splatter batter outside the bowl. However, being able to raise and lower the bowl is something that I find extremely useful, and would be disappointed if there were a switch incorporated into the stand mechanism. I broke the dough hook on my Kenmore 800 Watt 5-quart mixer, and the thing is so old now (15 years), I can't find a replacement hook for it. So I splurged on a new KitchenAid 6-quart Bowl Pro 600 model (a retail "professional" model) for about the same price I paid for the Kenmore 15 years ago. So far, it's been a pleasure. Everything has small tolerances, so that the beater and Whisk come close to the bowl. The bread-hook is exactly like the ones I've seen on commercial models. The mixer is relatively quiet compared to the Kenmore. (As it aged, I started wearing ear-plugs when using it. If I keep it, I will look for new gears to install in it.) The KitchenAid has a slow-start protocol built in, so that when you turn it on (by advancing the speed lever - there is no on/off switch) it doesn't sent a puff of flour in the air or splash liquid out (unless you go immediately to high). The Kenmore I had apparently was engineer with a fast-start; I resorted to starting the Kenmore with the beaters up and then lowering them into the bowl when the mixer had gone to it's appropriate speed. Still, if I had a lot of flour in the bowl of the KitchenAid, I'd start with the bowl lowered, and slowly ight the bowl to reduce splatter, etc. I like it because it's the closest I've seen to a real commercial mixer. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is used in commercial kitchens for smaller jobs. I have just begun to use it, so I don't know how it will wear. If it develops problems from early wear, I'll be back to report on them. ## Features - 10 different attachments.

Bowl. Some may work, such as perhaps a grinder attachment. Check with KA to be sure. **Q: Does it come with instruction manual? I just bought one and it has no owner's manual in it. And the beater and the hook looked scratched up.** A: Yes, it came with a manual. If it is defective in any way (beater and hook scratched up) contact Amazon, they have great customer service and they are great at getting items replaced. **Q: How much adapter is needed for 220 v operation** A: 600 watt transformer ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FANTISTIC MIXER *by B***E on March 23, 2007* First, let me say Amazon is super-swift in processing orders.

(Well, a good stand mixer IS an investment, at least on my salary...) But then I started occasionally mixing up fresh whipped cream (to have with strawberries etc). And then I found it can make good, frothy, well-mixed hot cocoa, from pure cocoa and brown sugar (no blechy powdery hot chocolate 'mix'). And then I learned how to make matcha latte. And then I got into baking, which I'd always found too much of a pain. It's easy now. (^_^) For a while, I was using the mixer every few days. Then I managed to track down a second-hand veggie-slicing-and-dicing attachment for this thing off Craigslist, and boom, instant Cuisinart. No, forget that. BETTER than a Cuisinart, cuz you have way more control: You can separate your ingredients, chop at different speeds... whatever. Now I use it several times every day, for mixing, slicing, dough-kneading, etc. But it's built like a tank, so I'm still betting I'll be an old lady by the time it gives up the ghost. I have only three minor complaints, two of which are my own fault. ;D 1. I'm single, and so I don't really ever cook in massive batches. The 5-quart model would have been more than sufficient for my needs, or maybe even a smaller one. But... maybe I'm just being weird here, but I don't FEEL single when I have such a strong, handsome, darling mixer to come home to. (Joking! Moreover, it's well-engineered enough that despite its big bowl size, it easily mixes even very tiny quantities of ingredients. They might look lost in that big six-quart stainless-steel bowl, but they'll get mixed alright. In mixers, bowl size counts, and my mixer has a big one, AND knows how to use it. <3 ... why was I listing this as a problem again? 2. It can be tricky to get the beating attachment off, until you learn the secret, which is to take it off BEFORE you've removed the bowl. Still a touch on the fiddly side, though. 3. The dough-kneading attachment comes with a sticker that cautions you to avoid high speeds while using the kneading attachment. (sensible, no?) Trouble is, I can't remember whether the cut-off was #2 or #1 or ... Really, it should be marked on the machine itself somehow, or at least stamped on the kneading attachment. Dammit, I should have used my Brother labeling kerjigger. All other complaints I can imagine having are things like: it wasn't free, it won't do my income tax, drive me to work, or have dinner ready for me when I get home. ;D Oh, well, I guess one other thing: The colour is described as 'meringue', which is a fancy way of saying off-white. This may be your taste, but for me, I should have gotten the red one. Red is my favourite colour. :3 Fortunately I found a website that sells decals for the thing -- like, swoops of yellow-orange flames. This makes it look pretty awesome, and they stand out right nice against the 'meringue'. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3857733-kitchenaid-pro-600-series-6-quart-bowl-lift-stand-mixer](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3857733-kitchenaid-pro-600-series-6-quart-bowl-lift-stand-mixer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
