Great Mixer
This is my 2nd Kitchen Aid mixer. The first one is about 15 years old and is still in excellent condition(I put it away for when my daughter moves out). I bought the new one because I needed it bigger. I bake a lot and needed something a little more industrious. I absolutely love my new mixer. It is great for larger recipes. I give it a 5 star!!
Happy Baking!

Wonderful mixer!!
While this mixer is quite large and heavy, it does an amazing job!!! Before you purchase this one, make sure you have permanent counter space. It is too big to move around or store in another location. This mixer won't let you down!!

Powerful, useful, flawed.
I have had my Pro 600 for 10 months now and have found it very useful - I make a lot of breads and pasta, and kneading all of it took a very long time and a lot of energy. This mixer gets the job done, even with large, dense loads of dough, cleans up easily, and looks industrial and intimidating on my countertop (in a good way). There are, however, a few fundamental flaws that plague the machine no matter what the task:
1. The motor is incredibly noisy. This seems to be alleviated by a heavier load on the motor, so interestingly, the lightest tasks are the worst for noise pollution. I had read reviews that cited this before purchasing, but was still surprised at just how loud it is.
2. The clip that holds the bowl in place does not hold strong enough to compete with the paddle/dough hook. Kneading stiff dough for pasta was impossible before I rigged the bowl clip with a chopstick - the bowl would simply pop off.
I have otherwise had a great experience with the machine and would recommend it highly. It has increased my bread and pasta output and makes itself even more useful when you invest in the attachments.
