Kitchen Aid Professional - KitchenAid 575 Watts Professional 600 KP26M1X Stand Mixer For a large portion of my life, I have wanted a Kitchen Aid Mixer. I received mine as a Christmas present last ye...

I purchased my first Kitchen Aid Mixer about 7 years ago. I purchased the 5 qt. Artisan mixer. I LOVED it!!! So as my need grew I decided to go up the line to the next level the Professional 600 series. Right from the start I was disapointed with the choices of color, but if it worked better I would live with a pearlized color. It has similar features to other kitchen aid models. It comes with 3 attachments, a Whisk, Paddle and Dough hook. The first thing I noticed is that the parts are no longer dishwasher safe. Also instead of the head tilting back as it does in the smaller models, you have the bowl lift feature. This took a lot of getting use to, but again if I was able to get more work done in a shorter period of time I could live with it.

This past Christmas I was making my normal batch of Marshmallows( that I had made tons of times with my 5 qt model with no problem) when the machine just stopped revolving. When I called Kitchen Aid of course my warrenty had just expired. So when I called the recommended repair show I was shocked when I was told it would be a minimum of $200 to fix. It appears all though it is advertiesd as all metal, the casing that all of the gears are in are in is made of plastic. So if one goes everything goes. I was shocked. I had spent $400 on a machine to do more work and it worked less than my smaller one. At first I decided to go ahead and have the work done, but as I thought about it and investigated online I decided I had had enough. It turn out that the Hobart company has sold Kitchen Aid to Whirlpool and the quality has gone down. I am far from the only one that has suffered this problem and feel for the money I could get a much better reliable product. I am going to replace it with Cuisinart which is the same price but 1000 watts compared to 575.

If you want more specifics on the product I am sure many of the other reviewers can give that. I just want everyone to be warned how easily it blows gears.
