 "Good product...." 2008-03-11
By Randy Blose
Purchased this mixer to replace an older one at my workplace. Seems to be every bit as good as the one it replaced, but really the true test comes in time after years of abuse in a professional kitchen. Initial quality is on par with other KitchenAid mixers.

 "Think about whether you really need this mixer." 2009-09-15
By Gordon (San Francisco, California USA)




I bought this from Amazon in 2005 and I'm doing a review in 2009 :)



If you're making dough, consider using your hand to kneed dough for 1 minute then let it wait over night. Google no-kneed dough / bread. You need to let dough sit over night to have flavor and for the gluten strands to develop. Surprisingly, I learned that if I let dough sit over night then put it into this mixer the dough will actually become non-elastic as the gluten strands are broken. I used to use this to kneed dough but the motor started to get hot and the motor made some odd clicking noise. It's still works, but after calling Kitchenaid and discover that only mixers with 450 watts or above contain metal gears while this mixer contain high grade plastic gears, it made my stomach churn.



I've made many bread and pizza and I've discovered that no one needs a dough mixer if they are to kneed dough. Just let it sit over night and you'll be amazed how smooth the dough becomes.



I do need a mixer for cake mix however. For that, I would look at getting a sunbeam, maybe Sunbeam 2591 which clearly has more wattage than this, but again, I don't think these mixers are really for dough, is more for cake mixes. Or get the cheapies without stand. If you want quality, review the Hamilton Beach 63220; comes with 400 watts and 3 year warranty for about $200



So, the bottom line is this: do you really need this machine? For dough, no, for cake mix, it would be cheaper to get another brand. Attachments? I ordered their flour mill attachment but I've been reading reviews that because all kitchenaid mixers (models with 350 watts or under) have plastic gears, the mill will ruin the mixer's motor. Search for kitchenaid mill attachment on amazon and read the reviews. Some of their attachment is a bit nutty; ask yourself, do you really need it? How much would you pay for an ice cream maker attachment, a pasta attachment, etc? Would it be better to buy separate machine, after all, if the motor breaks, you've lost your "investments". Why not buy separate machines? The flour mill attachment has reviews that have links where people can buy metal gear box cover, well that's available only on mixers with 450 watts or above! Also, all new Kitchenaid 450 watts and above mixers have the metal box, so if you really want to buy one to kneed dough, you might consider the 450 watts and above, but why when you can do it yourself and let the dough form over night??



I felt really disappointed to learn that one has to pay $300+ to buy a mixer with metal gear, and is a shame. If I have to do it all over gain, I would never get this mixer. I would get it if it was made with metal gears with circuit to power off when motor overheats regardless the price point.



Lastly, the side of the mixers have two large black plastic screws that hold the motor's bushing (graphite lubricant?) and if you unscrew it, it will pop out. To put it back in the right orientation, use a flashlight and look for a grove that sticks out. The right orientation is one that allows the graphite to go deeper.



**KitchenAid: I'm really disappointed in cheapening out on what appear to be a beautiful product on the outside!!** This product would have gotten 4 to 5 stars if it had metal gears.

 "Use weekly for four years - still perfect!" 2009-05-21
By javajunki
This was one of the best kitchen item's I've ever purchased - hands down. The price was right and it has been used so much more than ever expected. My better half - who makes the worlds greatest homemade pizza - uses this to mix the dough...works like a charm, plus of course - all the standard items you would expect when baking. After four years of weekly use, it still performs perfectly. Built solid, I expect this will last many more years to come. A tad smaller than other sizes, this is perfect for those low on counter space or who typically cook for a smaller family. Excellent value, excellent product!

 "Leaks oil" 2009-05-16
By A. CLEMENS (Texas)
Product worked great until it started leaking oil after about 3 years. It wasn't used often or for very heavy work. Would have expected it to not have issues for much longer considering the price and low usage. Found a number of others on internet with the same complaint. Did not contact customer service, will attempt to repair myself.

 "KitchenAid Mixer" 2008-12-05
By Cortney A. Kinyon (Kansas)
Amazing! This is a must-have for anyone who loves to cook. I have had mine for over 3 years. I have used it relentlessly with no problems! I have burned up countless other mixers making bread or holiday candy. This mixer allows me to try any recipe without worrying if my mixer can withstand the pressure!

 "Love it!!" 2007-10-30
By Jessica Williams
I've wanted a Kitchenaid Mixer for a long time and finally got one when they went on sale here at Amazon. I've had it for a few years now and LOVE it! I use it all the time. The 4 1/2 quart is pretty big too- I always make a double batch of cookies and it fits with plenty of room to spare. The attatchments it comes with are great! Overall- well worth it!!

 "Looks pretty" 2009-09-29
By Kelly Davis
This is a very attractive mixer but I have found it to be very impractical and am looking to replace it. It does not have a true slow speed - it flings batter around so much at the lowest speed that my dog immediately comes running when I use it, licking his chops. The beaters are annoyingly difficult to eject, and the unit is heavier and more cumbersome than other mixers I have had. I find myself yearning for the old "vintage" turquoise GE hand mixer with a variable speed wheel on top. In fact, I may just get one from an antique dealer. I am frustrated to death with this thing.

 "Just one complaint" 2009-09-06
By E. Walt (Delaware)
I really like this mixer. It's attractive, compact and takes up little room on my counter, powerful, and seems like it will be long lasting. However, the beaters are rather difficult to eject. I'm used to a seperate eject button and having the beaters pop out, however with this one, you have to pull them out. I don't use a mixer all that often tho, so I can live with it since I like the other features.

 "New Sunbeam Mixer" 2009-03-17
By Lee Anderson (Texas)
Very nice and well designed. Like the storage stand which our old mixer did not have. Very strong and still easy to use. Too bad that our old beaters will not fit this new unit, but that's all right. Very good service from Amazon. It came in sooner than we expected. Very good.

 "A Mixer that works" 2009-01-06
By Charles M. Ferguson (Gaston, N.C. USA)
I bought several mixers before I got to this one, ,, it works great, I love it, If you're tired of Dollar Store junk that don't last three days they you should surely check this mixer out.

 "Nice unit" 2008-12-27
By C. Bond (Northern Virginia)
I bought this primarily because of its color. I like its stand that gives it a stable place to sit. The photos make it look cordless, but it is not which suits me fine. It has worked well the few times I have used it. The beaters have really deep anchors and do not eject easily. Actually, they are a pain to eject. However, that is fairly minor since I generally only do that once per use. Maybe they will get easier over time. The speed control feels a bit pointed to eject the beaters and it hurts my thumb to press it so hard. It has worked like a champ in beating cakes and cookie batter for me. The ejection problem would not cause me to not purchase it again, but it did rank it down one star.

 "KitchenAid Mixer Best in the World" 2009-05-11
By Glen A. Ritter (Shreveport, LA)
Recently reviewed the purchase of this mixer in white that I bought for my daughter. I purchased this one for my wife, it is our second one. The first I bought for her 29 years ago. I bought it in white back then. The first one has been used regularly because my wife is a very good cook. We kept waiting for the old one to die, well with KitchenAid, that never happens. So after 32 years of marriage I bought her the Brushed Nickel KSM152PSNK. If you do not have a KitchenAid mixer and you like to cook, you need one. Spend the money and buy one. I know we will get at least 32 years of service from our new one.

 "Copper Lovers Dream Mixer" 2009-05-08
By Ginger (La Canada, CA)
Only a true Kitchen Aid mixer fan would buy so many of these. I started out over twenty years ago with a cream one, traded, then got the 5 qt industrial gray and gave it to my sister, then a black 5 qt which my husband gave to a friend because he felt we didn't need two, and my favorite, this one. I also gave a cobalt blue 5 qt to my brother in law although he rarely cooks and often works in Belgium and Japan; and a bright red one for another friend. I sold commercial restaurant equipment for 17 years and their products were essential to our business so I write from more than personal experience.



For my home with cherry cupboards the rich copper mixer earns a place on my counter. This is a hard working and beautiful companion in the kitchen especially if you can't afford the space or price of its larger model. I will be getting the new sweep batter paddle for it next since I already have grinders, juicers and every other attachment.



Just remember these are very heavy and should go on the counter rather than on a shelf or in the garage. Use the paddle for mixing heavy batters and the dough hook for bread. Don't get stuck using just the wire whisk for everything. I keep all the paddles in the bowl.

 "Works like a charm!" 2008-12-28
By Cheryl
I got this for my birthday last year, and I use all the time- for everything from breads, pizza dough and cookies to cakes, frostings, fillings and whipped cream. It has endless possibilities! The 5-quart seems to be big enough for my use. I can't imagine having a bigger one as this one is so powerful! I never use the pouring shield though, as it seems to be more of a nuisance than a help. The nickel color looks great with stainless steel appliances. It is worth the money. I got the ice cream maker attachment which is fun too, though I do not use it very often.

 "Don't throw away your box..." 2009-05-01
By Anne (Baltimore, MD)
I owned a 375 watt 5 qt stand mixer for 13 years. I have wanted this mixer for probably 5 years now. I finally found it on sale at a local store with a good rebate. Unfortunately, I forgot and threw away the box right away--it was huge after all! Kitchenaid would not honor the rebate without the UPC from the box. No other proof of my purchase would suffice. So be careful not to throw away your box before cutting off the UPC if you are going to be submitting a rebate to Kitchenaid.



But, the second reason I have given it 2 stars is the actual mixer itself. It does not mix as well as my 5 qt mixer. I cook for a family of 5--2 adults and 3 children. I use my mixer all the time. I have to use the shield with it every time I use it because it spits out flour, etc. if I don't. This means one more thing to wash every time I use it. This mixer also is not as flexible--it does not do smaller recipes as well as my old mixer did.



And finally, I wanted this mixer because I thought my old one rocked unneccessarily. Wrong!! This one rocks as well. And you are only supposed to use the dough hook on speed 2.



All in all, I would not recommend spending the extra money on this mixer. Save the extra money and buy the 5 qt. I think you will be much happier in the long run!

 "Kitchen ache" 2009-04-20
By J. Chang (Reston, VA)
Mine died after one month past its warrenty. The shaft that holding the attachment was falling! Which you can't fix by yourself becasue it was air-compressed to the place. Sending back to the factory won't make sense. For one, it cost $150.00 or more. Secondly, it is doomed to happen again becuase it is a design flaw. Googled how to fix kitchenaid pro 600, you will be amazed by the numbers of people owning a broken Kitchenaid mixer.



I should have seriously considered the negative reviews. I didn't realize that Kitchenaid was no longer made by Hobart which earns the previous models amazing reputation. Sad to have to add a big trash to the landfill.

 "Don"t buy this mixer!!!" 2009-04-17
By Custom Cookies (Nebraska)
My Kitchenaid 600 never worked right-it was so loud from day one you couldn't hear anything else-after 90 days it stopped-after $125 repair it worked better for a few months then stopped during Cinnamon Rolls (soft dough and only a half batch) another $95 it kinda works-i bought many of the attachments and this is what keeps me from throwing it in the trash!! Save yourself alot of money and go with another brand!!!!

 "Had it over a year now..." 2009-02-05
By TypicalConsumer (Austin, TX USA)
... and I do love the mixer. I've noticed I use it at lower speeds than my last Kitchenaid - which makes sense as it is more powerful. It has handled almost everything very well, from whipped cream to cookies to medium doughs - but as another reviewer noted, it can't handle the load claimed by the manufacturer (14 cups all-purpose flour). Mine bogs down at 10 cups, and I finish by hand - which I actually like to do, but if you don't want to do any hand kneading, make sure you cut your recipes accordingly. As always, Amazon has delivered exactly what I ordered - and at the best price.

 "Pretty but not practical" 2009-05-16
By K. Arner (Phoenix, AZ)
Well..I read the previous reviews and thought the mixer couldn't be all that bad. I paid attention to those who had bought the "plastic" mixers and how they weren't stable so I bought the die cast metal. The price was right,it had all the features and size bowl I wanted, and it looks so nice so i thought I'd try it. Well....I used it twice and sadly to say, it's going back to the store.



The first time I made a batch of oatmeal cookies. Creaming the ingredients was fine, but as soon as I got the flour and oatmeal in the mix, the mixer and bowl started rocking and jerking as the mix hit the beaters. Decided I can't turn away from that for a second! The second time was a coffee cake batter, smooth & creamy and no rocking this time, but the bowl wouldn't spin to mix the batter. Plus then I started to get the overheated motor smell.



Not sure what I'll get now cause I really don't want to spend $200+ on a mixer, but this one wasn't it.

 "Only good for mixing a cake!" 2009-03-24
By David R. George (Perry, Georgia United States)
This is a honey if all you want to do is make a simple cake mix. I tried creaming butter and sugar and all it does is sling everything to the sides! Thank goodness I had just bought a Kitchenaid hand mixer, I finished up my cookie dough with that and it handled that with ease! Don't bother with this one, save up for a Kitchenaid stand mixer, that's what I'm going to do!!

 "What a disappointment" 2009-03-20
By Val (Mount Juliet, TN)
Purchased this mixer at a close out retail store for just under seventy dollars. It was brand new, not a refurbished unit. I thought even if it lasts only a year at this price, it would be a good deal. I was wrong.



The unit came well packaged, with all of the included accessories. Two stainless mixing bowls, and two sets of hooks - one dough hook set, and set of regular beaters. The chassis is all metal while the stand upon which the bowls rest is chrome painted plastic. The unit is heavy but not so heavy it can't be manuevered easily. So far so good.....



I used this machine ONE TIME, after which the bowl plate stopped spinning. I did not say I used it for one recipe, I mean, I used it ONE TIME, and the plate stopped working. I tried to make a very light weight egg dough. I only got through step 1, of making the sponge. 1c. flour, 2 pkgs yeast, one cup warm milk, 1/2 cup sugar. That WAS IT. Not a heavy load, not a lot of volume. The unit did not heat up and smell. The unit did not give any indication that the plate would stop working. When I got to step 2, combine 2 egg yolks, 1/4 c. milk, 1/2 c. melted shortening, and 2 cups more flour, I turned on the machine to finish mixing and the bottom plate did not move at all. I finished the recipe by manually moving the bowl around and around (that's how light the recipe was).



I then set about troubleshooting the unit. I tried to use the smaller bowl, the other hooks, with no luck. Smaller bowl, same hoooks, no dice. I tried turning on the machine with nothing on it, or in it. Nothing doing. I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. This is going right back to the store. I will spend a little more on a mixer that is rated more highly. DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT!!!

By Z. Fekete (NH)
I bought this mixer about 1 years ago. It LOOKS reliable , heavy, with a lot of steel built into it. It is everything but reliable. Built to last till the end of the warranty period, not a day longer. All that steel is to make sure no-one will be able to take it apart to fix it, or to see that the internal power transmission parts are made from cheap plastic.

 "Dead in 5 rounds!" 2009-07-22
By Steve Hryniuk (Hilo, Hawaii)
I bought this as a (requested) gift for girlfriend's birthday. It did well with cookies, it did well with bread dough, and well with various batters. But died in only 5 uses! White smoke of death escaped the motor housing tonight and I'm really sad to tell her what happened tomorrow when she wakes up.



I purchased mine from WM and it was on sale for less than a hundred. Deal was great then, sour now.



I would recommend against the Sunbeam cheapies (and all cheapies for that matter) and am looking to higher power / well reviewed models now. Amazon is the greatest!

 "Not so Great" 2009-06-19
By X
Had it a year, it worked ok. But now, a screw has worked loose from the top part, and it prevents the head from tilting back. Total dis-assembly is required to fix this.



There is no excuse for a screw working loose! Bolt it, rivet it, pin it, or Loctite it! I'm handy, so I'll fix it, but anyone else would have to trash it.



The motor is beginning to smell as well. Can't recomend this machine, it dosen't last.

Replaces an older cheaper unit which was mostly plastic. This is much nicer; however, it is more expensive. You get what you pay for.

This mixer is the greatest. Had a Mixmaster from Sunbeam years ago and it lasted many years. When it finally gave out, everyone said to get a Kitchenade. We did and never did get used to it. After only a few years, but with a lot of use, it started to leak oil and sounded very bad. We wanted to try and go back to a Sunbeam. We looked at all the models and decided to get the better model with dual motors. It has been fantastic! Great mixing action, plenty of power and very familier to use. We're glad we went back to a Sunbeam.

I always thought Sunbeam was a great brand...that is, until I bought this mixer! Right from the get go it would over heat and smell like something was burning. I thought it had caught fire at one point because it was smoking!!! It quit working but then after it would cool down it would work again for maybe 10 minutes each interval. It died completely and had only lasted me a year and that was not even using it more then once every other month or so! It was a complete waste of money. I guess now days nothing is made to last like it used to be.
