Good mixer but how reliable???,
By Alex D. (Gatineau, Qc, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KitchenAid 4KP26M1XPM Professional 600 Stand Mixer, Pearl Metallic (Kitchen)
I've had never used a standmixer and I bought a Kitchenaid Classic in November 2011. I've started to mix bread (3 1/4 or 6 1/2 cups of flour) and pizza dough on a regular basis and also bought the Pasta roller, spaghetti & fettucini cutters. Poor thing was going through hell rolling the pasta dough and kneading my pizza dough (not that much flour but with an egg in, it was a tad hard to knead). I decided to upgrade my Kitchenaid to something bigger and stronger or so I thought. I've read a whole pile of reviews on Amazon US and quite a few people had issues with stripping their gear box in the Pro 600 and lots of people do not have issues...Anyways I've ordered my Pro 600 in Pearl Metallic (gorgeous color!!!) on Jan 14 2012 and received it on Jan 17. Fast delivery, thanks Amazon! Out of the box, cleaned it and mixed a pizza dough. That thing is a beast! No hiccups the spiral dough hook does a fantastic job (better than the C hook from the Classic) and the dough is soooo smooth. Same for the bread but since I don't eat that much bread (my roommate usually finishes the loaf) I only did half recipes; so 3 1/4-1/2 cups of flour. Same for the pastas I usually do half recipes with 2 eggs and about 2cups of flour. So all in all I think I've mixed 15 pizzas dough, 5 loafs of bread, 4 batches of pasta dough and 5 cake mixes. Well yesterday March 2nd I started my mixer on a bread dough and about 6-7 minutes in the kneading process I started to hear a dreadful gear grinding noise... yeah... there it was, my mixer was dying. Now I'm in the process of getting a replacement from Kitchenaid. Did I get a bad machine? Is it a flawed design? I don't know but I'll update my review when I get my replacement.

Fantastic purchase...fabulous color!!..,
This review is from: KitchenAid 4KP26M1XPM Professional 600 Stand Mixer, Pearl Metallic (Kitchen)
I LOVE this new KitchenAid mixer!! I chose this model primarily for its large capacity bowl and also because the bowl lifts to the mixer and the mixer head doesn't have to be lifted up. Although it is a couple of inches taller than the KitchenAid Artisan mixer, I am able to leave it on my counter under my cupboards and just slide it forward a bit when I want to use it. Because the Artisan mixer head lifts up, it actually becomes a "bigger" machine when the head is tilted. I worried it might be a nuisance having to remove the paddle/hook before removing the bowl, but it becomes second nature once you start using the mixer. It's definitely not a concern. On the other hand, it has taken me a bit longer to get used to lining up the three points on the bowl so it will "snap/lock" in place.Although there is just my husband and myself at home now, when we get together we are a family of 19 so many of our recipes are done in big batches. I did all my holiday baking (as well as mashing a huge quantity potatoes for Christmas dinner) with my new mixer and wished I had bought it years ago. One of my big concerns when I made this purchase, was what color "pearl metallic" really was. I checked numerous blogs and websites (both Canadian and US, visited several local stores and couldn't find a clear description). I was completely happy when it arrived...pearl metallic is a soft medium grey color...very rich (similar to the dark peuter color)...with a nice (easy to clean) glossy sheen. The service from Amazon.ca was amazing as well. I placed my order late Thursday evening and the mixer arrived on Tuesday afternoon. It was shipped from Mississauga to Thunder Bay (1200 miles)....free shipping and delivered right to my front door. I do think KitchenAid should rethink their decision to include the mixer blades and hooks that are NOT dishwasher proof with this model. I have purchased an extra paddle that IS dishwasher proof (another $35 on sale!!). I know it's just a matter of time before I accidentally load the whisk or blades in the dishwasher (they look like they should be dishwasher proof....but my daughter has this mixer as well.....and I know for certain they are NOT!!...expensive lesson!!).
