I have several artisan minis In my fleet And they are awesome little machines. It should be pointed out that they share the same 250 W motor that's in the kitchenaid Classic Tilt head. If you choose to buy a minit's a Mini I recommend that you opt you opt for the optional "bull scrape"" attachment attachment and avoid the pouring shield shield because itas it tends to get in the way more than it helps.
Nice work guys. Good amount of info and not too much fluff. Just bought a Professional 500 series on sale for $199. Post-researching to decide if I made a poor choice and should have gone with the Artisan.
The Pro 500 is a great mixer, good power with the bowl-lift design - the bowl lift is going to help with bigger batches and bread dough for sure! Let us know if you have any questions. Happy mixing!
Why do you say you made a bad choice? I need to get one for my wife and want something decent. She never really makes bread its mostly just cakes and cookies for birthday and holiday. What's main differences in 5 and 6 pro series
I don't think I made a bad choice. But I bought the Pro 5 because it was on-sale for less than the Artisan. Kinda of a spur of the moment thing. Only downside is that replacement bowls are more expensive and it takes up more space.
@@aaronstestlab .sorry I read your post wrong. So over all are you happy? There on sale for 199.00 still. I think I'm going to get one for wife. She has been wanting one. I'm not crazy about the tilt head units, I'm afraid they might loosen up after a bit.
I just bought 2 pro 600 models from everything kitchen. I did some research and couldn’t beet their prices. I bought one for my daughter and one for myself. I from old school Italian making everything for a lot of people. My mother in law had one in the 1960’s and ground her own meat with it! I compared prices on the attachments and can’t beat prices on everything kitchens prices, including sales. My suggestion are, follow the direction on speeds and you won’t be disappointed! Watch as many TH-cam videos on the mixers. Follow some of the tips, they are very helpful. Good luck!🥰
I bought Pro-500 factory reconditioned lift-bowl model for $199 about 5 years ago and have used it regularly. Out of the box it looked and performed like new and still does. I use it most often with the dough hook for bread and it handles 2 and 4 loaf batches without complaint, although the motor housing is a bit warm after kneading 4 loaves worth of dough. I agree that it does not perform well with very small batches such as 1 or 2 egg whites, but I still have my mom's KA hand mixer--at least 30 years old and with frequent use, also looks and works like new. As a bonus, the stand mixers can be reparied by the factory or, if you are a bit brave about mechanicals, by the owner. Excellent products, save a line in your will to pass them to the next generation!
I have the ultra power which is between the classic and the Artisan and love it. I have the pour shield and the 4.5 qt bowl with a handle which is great for someone like me who needs the extra helping hand. It works great for small batches.
I'm in the early stages of a gut-and-rebuild kitchen project, including rebuilding an exterior wall from the foundation blocks up, and the floor to about a foot in from the ext wall, new cabinets with slab-style doors, new Bosch appliances (black porcelain and stainless steel) currently in the staging and storage rooms, widening the windows and the doors, a copper sink, and blue pearl granite.
Attachments can be a good thing but one thing to keep in mind is that if they are overloaded they can break two gears in the mixers so just be careful not to over-work/over-load the attachments and it will be ok. we have some videos about mixers that have had this problem, it all depends on the style some of them are more stronger than others like the 7Q it's all together different inside.
3:29 That’s a great point that I don’t think manufacturer’s ever address. But easily fixable, I think, by simply divulging whether they lit the product with soft, daylight, or cool white bulbs. Because it does affect the tone of the color. In a perfect world they would show the same item under the three different lights as today’s consumer tends to be more aware of lumens and color temperature when lighting their kitchens. It’d make for a more confident, informed choice.
I believe they use white light in a studio setting whereas most folks have yellow light in their homes. I was really worried the Empire Red I ordered would look orange but it looks great in my cranberry & white kitchen
Good review for chef. Many home users will be more interested in how many cakes the mixer will mix at a time, not cookies and bread loaves. All three of these mixers will mix comfortably only one cake batch. The two larger ones will mix two cakes if done carefully because bowl will be almost run over. I own both of larger ones, not the mini. For those who want to mix multiple, larger cakes, you will need to choose a commercial 10 qt mixer, which will mix up to 3 cake batches at a time. A 20 qt will mix up to 6 cake batches at a time. Liquids will need to be adjusted/scaled based on recipe; can't just multiply them up. Anything larger than 20qt is not tabletop, but floor-standing commercial mixer.
Well Chef i feel really bad i purchased a new Kitchen Aid Artisan regular because of the color its the light green i have 2 red kitchenaid mixers and 1 white 1 black. but on the good side doing the holidays i could mix alot of pastries and cookies and pies and not have to wait to use just 1 when i could use 2 or 3 at a time . but i do love my Kitchenaid they are kitchen icons. and i learned to make many things .
Wow, so many mixers! I hope you like your light green color - The Artisan mixer does have the most color options to choose from for sure. And using many mixers at the same time can for sure be an advantage when making lots of baked goods at one time. Let me know if you ever have any questions, we'd love to help!

eunchan eunchan, we do not - the classic is comparable to the Artisan, just with less wattage. The mini and the classic have almost the same wattage so they are equally powerful. If you have any questions, we'll happily help!
Selwyn, you can not upgrade to a larger bowl with the pro 5 - the arms of this mixer are too narrow for larger bowls and will not fit. I hope this helps!
Just replying to your comment a year after - I'm afraid that I have the same apprehension in buying the Pro 600. It's on sale here in Costco CA but I'm hesitant to buy it since I live in a condo and super conscious about noise. Don't want to be mistaken to be conducting unit construction if I'm just making a batch of cookies.
I gotten a Kitchen aid classic from walmart. The motor head moved quit abit just from one cookie dough batch. The head pin is tight.is this normal? And can it cause more issues in the future?
Tony Webster J.r, have you watched our "Shaking Mixer Head FIX" video: th-cam.com/video/DCXJnA-1EM8/w-d-xo.html - If you have tried this, I would contact KitchenAid directly to make sure you do not have a defective unit: 1 (800) 541-6390
I have a Proline 7 quart that will be delivered on Friday November 23, 2018 from Katom. My Classic 250 watts strains making the refrigerator dough so a much more robust model is needed for my multiple purposes. Happy Thanksgiving.
We tested 1/2 cup of egg whites and it worked well! It was unable to do 1/4 cup of egg whites though. I'm not sure the minimum amount of dough it could do as we did not test that.
I got artisan mini mixer in 2020..the lock lever doesn't stay in unlock position..it is automatically move back to lock position whenever I pushed to unlock position.. I don't know whether they change the mechanism or it's a defect..
I'm deciding between KA Pro600 and KW Kitchen Machine Chef Major. I would like to use it for baking small cakes (3 eggs mostly) and sometimes for bread and pizza. Do you have any suggestion?
May Ooi, the Architect series of mixers are identical to the Artisan series of mixers. The only difference is the Architect series has different color options and an embossed KithcenAid logo on the silver band around the mixer. I hope this helps!
No, tjhe Pro 600 bowl is too large for small quantity like 3 egg whites. However, there is the smaller 3qt bowl you can purchase for the Pro 600 that works well for smaller batches: evkitch.com/2R0NRKi
@@EverythingKitchens thanks for your answer i have bought the kitchenaid artisan its smaller but still good for using every day and im so satisfied 😍😍😍
Jason, the Artisan will shake some when making doughs like that. If you ever consider upgrading, the Pro 600 bowl-lift model does a great job with thick doughs and will not shake like the Artisan mixer. Learn more: www.everythingkitchens.com/kitchen-aid-pro-600.html
The artisan whisk should not be used on the pro mixer, they are different widths and heights. To find the exact whisk you need, you can check out our compatibility chart here: www.everythingkitchens.com/kitchenaid-stand-mixers-wire-whips-whisks-chart.html Let us know if you need any more help!
Bani, technically no (but kind of yes). There are many "tilt-head" mixers that are identical in size and shape to the Artisan including the Classic, Classic Plus, and Artisan Designer. These models can have different watt motors on the inside. I hope this helps! Learn more here: www.everythingkitchens.com/kitchenaid-stand-mixer-review.html
Please help! I have bought both Kitchen Ais Pro 6 quarts and Artisan 5 qt. I have to kneed about 9 cups whole wheat flour for 5 days a week. But when I need to bake, I will only go for 1 dozen muffins, cookies or normal 8 inches layered cake . I am highly confused which one to keep. Please please help .
ritu, I would keep the Pro 6 for your needs - the Pro 6 will handle all of those task. The Artisan would not be good for mixing that much wheat flour on a regular basis - the Pro 6 has all metal gears to handle large tasks like that. I hope this helps!
The white Pro Mixer has the most power and space for mixing. This is good if you make large batches of food or mix bread dough regularly. I hope this helps! يتمتع جهاز Pro Mixer الأبيض بمزيد من القوة والمساحة للخلط. هذا أمر جيد إذا قمت بعمل دفعات كبيرة من الطعام أو خلط عجينة الخبز بانتظام. آمل أن يساعد هذا!
I plan to purchase a 5-qt Atisan and will be leaving on my counter-top and push it under the cabinet when not in use. Will it be to heavy to pull out from the wall when I plan to use?
Pam Hampton, this is what I do at home. It is around 20lbs, so it does take a little effort to move the mixer, but I've been doing that for a long time. I hope this helps!
I do exactly what you do, I got one and week ago and with the time it becomes really normal to carry the mixer around, it may be heavy at first but then nothing out of the normal, just be careful on how you treat the mixer and where you leave it
I have the 600 series kitchenaid. I have had the mixer for 13 years and have never been happy with how it mixes. When making large or small batches, it never mixes well there are always unmixed ingredients left at the bottom of the bowl. I also notice that it use to leaks grease when mixing. Is this common? Does this mean that I have to add grease to the machine and if so, how do I do this? I am concerned that the gears will dry out. I look forward to hearing back. Thank you
Hi Debbie Gambacort. To answer your question about the unmixed ingredients - you may need to do a beater-to-bowl clearance adjustment. You can check out our video here of how to test that: th-cam.com/video/fpPvW7qGyvk/w-d-xo.html - the video shows the artisan mixer, but the same process is done on the 600 (the adjustment screw is just on the neck of the mixer). If your adjustment is okay, then consider getting a flex-edge beater: evkitch.com/FlexEdge - this beater blade has silicone edges that scrape the sides of the bowl while it mixes and this may help you out. As far as the grease goes, this is not uncommon - I contacted KitchenAid and they said there is a very large amount of food-safe grease in KitchenAid mixers to last a lifetime. They said if a teaspoon or so is leaking out, that is okay and you shouldn't have to worry about it, but it is a larger amount around a quarter cup, then you should have it serviced. If this is the case, they recommended sending it to their service center in Greenville, Ohio (800-961-0959, ext 2865) , they'll send you a box to ship the mixer to them. KitchenAid also recommended running the mixer once every 3 weeks for a few minutes to help prevent that issue. We hope this helps! -Chef Austin everythingkitchens.com
Please strongly consider getting a Beater-Blade, works better than the flex-edge beater. It improved mixer performance having no more unmixed ingredients at the bottom of the bowl.
I learned from owning one that you buy the cheapest and just work it till it burns out. Kitchen aid doesn't service them and if you get any problem no matter how minor they offer you 100 off a new one and tell you sorry. Over priced junk. It died immediately after the warranty ended
@@mahrukhalid nah it was someone I know that was wanting to get rid of it but it was in it's sealed package...they just never used it and so i offered 75 bucks and they said ok
Ankarsrum and Bosch are better and don't use plastic gears. KA are overpriced and if you plan on doing dough do not buy a KA they can't handle mixing dough.
I received an artisan mini that wouldn't operate when plugged in. Very disappointing. In this review I find it interesting that the juicer made for the mixer has a pitcher that won't fit under it. How does this get past the engineering dept. Or quality control? It's those little things that affect customer satisfaction.
Kans Choclate, personally I like the Artisan series mixer. If you want to do bread dough or large batches, then I would look at the Professional 600 series. Check out the buying guide here: evkitch.com/2kt2Mit - We can ship your KitchenAid mixer to you for free! (USA only)
I noticed the. Commercial Stand Mixer did not have the spring on the shaft for attachments. I've heard it causes more noise than the ones that do & doesn't run as smooth. Why has KitchenAid change that design? All the reviews on all KitchenAid Mixers in the past 2 years are terrible. It's always been such a great product & lasted over decades. I've also learned they are NOT made. In the same factory & some are from overseas! WHY! When you spend up to $ 500.00. On just the Artisan Mixer tilt head, I'm expecting the same Quality Mixer my Mom used just 10 years ago! WHAT IS THE DEAL KITCHENAID CORPORATE? You are loosing customers. Help us understand the terrible changes! We want the KitchenAid our Parents owned. The motors made of metal & all the things that made it run smooth & quite. Attachments of stainless still & are coated.
Peggy Brewer Yup, Spring is better. I have been noticing the quality change in other products as well. I now check all reviews and realize newer doesn't equal better. I will only buy one with a spring and great reviews. Just like updates aren't always better:) If it works awesome, don't change it. Angrybirds:)
Why did they change the design? Because they could, and because it saves them roughly $1.25 in hardware costs ($2 if I'm generous) and 2 minutes on the assembly line. Welcome to the new norm: corporations eschewing logic and quality in favor of maximizing profit margins, even at the detriment of their end product and brand reputation. Working on retrofitting the spring to my new P600, along with re-greasing the gearbox with a better quality lubricant.
Evan McCausland Please make a You Tube video of the retrofit. I found you can buy the spring at sears parts direct. Now to put a make shift metal washer underneath. You are right on all acounts. Greed vs Need! Hi Everything Kitchens:)
Don't worry you all, I got an artisan recently and with no spring, and the mixer works wonderfully, it DOESN'T make any noise and with food in the bowl the beaters perform just as good as I would expect on a kitchenaid. Don't keep yourself the pleasure to buy one just because it has no spring, works just as fine, hope it helps from a sincere cook.
Quality really depends on which model you buy. The Classic and Classic Plus models are is unchanged inside from the Hobart days I would not buy a Pro 5 or Pro 600.
cathy9160 I have the pro 600. Poor quality, noisy motor and grinding gears. The head would get warm. Opened it up one day....not a drop of grease in the gear assembly. Dry as a bone. Greased it, runs smoother, still loud . Junk. Quality has really dropped. A friend has an older model, made by Hobart. Built like a tank. Hobart made them for Kitchen Aid. Kitchen Aid sold to whirlpool. Crap.
For the professional mixer, you noted in both reviews that small batches to whip are an issue because the whisk attachment doesn't reach the bottom of the bowl. Is this fixed by using the adjustment screw (noted in some other reviews)?
borgxxxboy yes, you can perform a beater-to-bowl clearance adjustment to get the whisk lower to the bottom of the bowl. We actually have instructions for that here if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/fpPvW7qGyvk/w-d-xo.html

eunchan eunchan, we do not - the classic is comparable to the Artisan, just with less wattage. The mini and the classic have almost the same wattage so they are equally powerful. If you have any questions, we'll happily help!
What's the exact height of the KitchenAid Mini when it's tilted up? Just need to check if one would fit under where I hope to put it!
Hi Amber, I measured and it stands 16" tall when the head is fully tilted back. I hope this helps!
Thank you very much! The height between my cupboard and worktop is a fraction over 16", so it will just fit! :)
@@amberwinter4351 prefect! Happy mixing!
Thanks!
I have a pro 5 and would like to know if you can you use a larger bowl than the 5qt and if so up to what size and would i have to change the beaters .
Selwyn, you can not upgrade to a larger bowl with the pro 5 - the arms of this mixer are too narrow for larger bowls and will not fit. I hope this helps!
Whats the minimum number or eggs we can beat with the artisan? I know you said 1 for the mini but I don't think it was mentioned for the artisan !
Baekai, I'd say 3 egg whites would (around half a cup) is the minimum you'd want to use for the artisan mixer. I hope this helps!
How does sound compare?? I hear the 600 has terribly loud gears and with littles in the house, I wonder if this is something I need to consider.
Just replying to your comment a year after - I'm afraid that I have the same apprehension in buying the Pro 600. It's on sale here in Costco CA but I'm hesitant to buy it since I live in a condo and super conscious about noise.
Don't want to be mistaken to be conducting unit construction if I'm just making a batch of cookies.
I gotten a Kitchen aid classic from walmart. The motor head moved quit abit just from one cookie dough batch. The head pin is tight.is this normal? And can it cause more issues in the future?

Can I make 1 recipe of whole wheat bread in a mini mixer?
Joanne, it depends on the recipe. The mini can handle around 5 cups of flour at its maximum. I hope this helps!
I have a Proline 7 quart that will be delivered on Friday November 23, 2018 from Katom. My Classic 250 watts strains making the refrigerator dough so a much more robust model is needed for my multiple purposes. Happy Thanksgiving.
Cheryl, that's a big upgrade! Let us know if you come across any questions with your new mixer. Happy mixing!
Do you like the Proline 7 so far?
@@lmbmay6551 Yes I like the Pro 7.
Where do you find the smaller bowl for the 600 series mixer? Is there a specific name for it?
KitchenAid 3-Quart Stainless Steel Bowl & Combi Whip KN3CW is what you are looking for :)
What is the minimum quantity dough or egg the kitchenaid artisan can handle ?
We tested 1/2 cup of egg whites and it worked well! It was unable to do 1/4 cup of egg whites though. I'm not sure the minimum amount of dough it could do as we did not test that.
I got artisan mini mixer in 2020..the lock lever doesn't stay in unlock position..it is automatically move back to lock position whenever I pushed to unlock position.. I don't know whether they change the mechanism or it's a defect..
Yasmin B, I haven't had that happen to me before - I would call KitchenAid directly and they would be able to troubleshoot with you: 1 (800) 541-6390
Very helpful. Is it also free shipping to the UK?
Hi Ndidi, we only ship to USA at this time.
I'm deciding between KA Pro600 and KW Kitchen Machine Chef Major. I would like to use it for baking small cakes (3 eggs mostly) and sometimes for bread and pizza. Do you have any suggestion?
I'd say the Kenwood would do better at smaller batches like you are wanting to make. I hope this helps! evkitch.com/2A1nXmI
How about Architect Series mixer ? I saw those at Macy’s with great deal. Review please :)
May Ooi, the Architect series of mixers are identical to the Artisan series of mixers. The only difference is the Architect series has different color options and an embossed KithcenAid logo on the silver band around the mixer. I hope this helps!
Please the professional 600 can be used for a small qantity like 3 white of eggs ????
No, tjhe Pro 600 bowl is too large for small quantity like 3 egg whites. However, there is the smaller 3qt bowl you can purchase for the Pro 600 that works well for smaller batches: evkitch.com/2R0NRKi
@@EverythingKitchens thanks for your answer i have bought the kitchenaid artisan its smaller but still good for using every day and im so satisfied 😍😍😍
I like our artisan but it really shakes a lot when mixing bread dough.
Jason, the Artisan will shake some when making doughs like that. If you ever consider upgrading, the Pro 600 bowl-lift model does a great job with thick doughs and will not shake like the Artisan mixer. Learn more: www.everythingkitchens.com/kitchen-aid-pro-600.html
Will the Artisan series whisk fit on the pro?
The artisan whisk should not be used on the pro mixer, they are different widths and heights. To find the exact whisk you need, you can check out our compatibility chart here: www.everythingkitchens.com/kitchenaid-stand-mixers-wire-whips-whisks-chart.html

Where can we purchase the smaller bowl for the 600?
Hi, Judy! We have a 3 Quart bowl on our site that fits the Pro 600. Hope this helps! www.everythingkitchens.com/kitchenaid-combi-whip-kn3cw-html.html
Are there different models under the artisan series?
Bani, technically no (but kind of yes). There are many "tilt-head" mixers that are identical in size and shape to the Artisan including the Classic, Classic Plus, and Artisan Designer. These models can have different watt motors on the inside. I hope this helps! Learn more here: www.everythingkitchens.com/kitchenaid-stand-mixer-review.html
@@EverythingKitchens yes this helps. Many thanks for the explanation.
Please help!
I have bought both Kitchen Ais Pro 6 quarts and Artisan 5 qt. I have to kneed about 9 cups whole wheat flour for 5 days a week. But when I need to bake, I will only go for 1 dozen muffins, cookies or normal 8 inches layered cake .
I am highly confused which one to keep.
Please please help .
ritu, I would keep the Pro 6 for your needs - the Pro 6 will handle all of those task. The Artisan would not be good for mixing that much wheat flour on a regular basis - the Pro 6 has all metal gears to handle large tasks like that. I hope this helps!
@@EverythingKitchens thank you so much ❤️❤️
السلام عليكم ممكن ترجم بالعربي وهل عجانة البيضاء برو هي الأفضل
The white Pro Mixer has the most power and space for mixing. This is good if you make large batches of food or mix bread dough regularly. I hope this helps! يتمتع جهاز Pro Mixer الأبيض بمزيد من القوة والمساحة للخلط. هذا أمر جيد إذا قمت بعمل دفعات كبيرة من الطعام أو خلط عجينة الخبز بانتظام. آمل أن يساعد هذا!

Great video. New subbie
Thanks for your kind words Bertha 👨🍳😊
I plan to purchase a 5-qt Atisan and will be leaving on my counter-top and push it under the cabinet when not in use. Will it be to heavy to pull out from the wall when I plan to use?
Pam Hampton, this is what I do at home. It is around 20lbs, so it does take a little effort to move the mixer, but I've been doing that for a long time. I hope this helps!
If you lift up the front of the mixer high enough the unit slides very easily.
I do exactly what you do, I got one and week ago and with the time it becomes really normal to carry the mixer around, it may be heavy at first but then nothing out of the normal, just be careful on how you treat the mixer and where you leave it
I love the kitchen aid mixer, but the problem I have is that we use 220 volt, while you do use 110 volt.
Can I please have a kitchen aid mixer please?
Yes! You can have one, just click here: evkitch.com/3HUS5h4
I have the 600 series kitchenaid. I have had the mixer for 13 years and have never been happy with how it mixes. When making large or small batches, it never mixes well there are always unmixed ingredients left at the bottom of the bowl. I also notice that it use to leaks grease when mixing. Is this common? Does this mean that I have to add grease to the machine and if so, how do I do this? I am concerned that the gears will dry out. I look forward to hearing back. Thank you
Hi Debbie Gambacort. To answer your question about the unmixed ingredients - you may need to do a beater-to-bowl clearance adjustment. You can check out our video here of how to test that: th-cam.com/video/fpPvW7qGyvk/w-d-xo.html - the video shows the artisan mixer, but the same process is done on the 600 (the adjustment screw is just on the neck of the mixer). If your adjustment is okay, then consider getting a flex-edge beater: evkitch.com/FlexEdge - this beater blade has silicone edges that scrape the sides of the bowl while it mixes and this may help you out.
As far as the grease goes, this is not uncommon - I contacted KitchenAid and they said there is a very large amount of food-safe grease in KitchenAid mixers to last a lifetime. They said if a teaspoon or so is leaking out, that is okay and you shouldn't have to worry about it, but it is a larger amount around a quarter cup, then you should have it serviced. If this is the case, they recommended sending it to their service center in Greenville, Ohio (800-961-0959, ext 2865) , they'll send you a box to ship the mixer to them. KitchenAid also recommended running the mixer once every 3 weeks for a few minutes to help prevent that issue. We hope this helps! -Chef Austin everythingkitchens.com
Please strongly consider getting a Beater-Blade, works better than the flex-edge beater. It improved mixer performance having no more unmixed ingredients at the bottom of the bowl.
The grease separates and leaks because the mixer is not used for considerable lengths of time
@@russ5024 Picture of Beater Blade?
Valeu 👍
What about a giveaway😭😭😭 available in all countries especially in Africa😌😌
I learned from owning one that you buy the cheapest and just work it till it burns out. Kitchen aid doesn't service them and if you get any problem no matter how minor they offer you 100 off a new one and tell you sorry. Over priced junk. It died immediately after the warranty ended
That's so disappointing to hear! But believable that the quality has gone down as it's common brand after brand these days. Bummer.
just bought a new mini for 75 bucks!
Hi! Where did you buy it for that cheap?
@@mahrukhalid nah it was someone I know that was wanting to get rid of it but it was in it's sealed package...they just never used it and so i offered 75 bucks and they said ok
Ankarsrum and Bosch are better and don't use plastic gears. KA are overpriced and if you plan on doing dough do not buy a KA they can't handle mixing dough.
Your voice drops off at the end of your sentences. Good info.
These have some awful reviews on Amazon
They used to be good but these days they use plastic gears hence why they can't handle mixing dough for bread like the Bosch or Ankarsrum
I received an artisan mini that wouldn't operate when plugged in. Very disappointing. In this review I find it interesting that the juicer made for the mixer has a pitcher that won't fit under it. How does this get past the engineering dept. Or quality control? It's those little things that affect customer satisfaction.
I want to buy kitchen aid what the best one recommendation
Kans Choclate, personally I like the Artisan series mixer. If you want to do bread dough or large batches, then I would look at the Professional 600 series. Check out the buying guide here: evkitch.com/2kt2Mit - We can ship your KitchenAid mixer to you for free! (USA only)
I noticed the. Commercial Stand Mixer did not have the spring on the shaft for attachments. I've heard it causes more noise than the ones that do & doesn't run as smooth. Why has KitchenAid change that design?
All the reviews on all KitchenAid Mixers in the past 2 years are terrible. It's always been such a great product & lasted over decades. I've also learned they are NOT made. In the same factory & some are from overseas!
WHY! When you spend up to $ 500.00. On just the Artisan Mixer tilt head, I'm expecting the same Quality Mixer my Mom used just 10 years ago! WHAT IS THE DEAL KITCHENAID CORPORATE? You are loosing customers.
Help us understand the terrible changes! We want the KitchenAid our Parents owned. The motors made of metal & all the things that made it run smooth & quite. Attachments of stainless still & are coated.
Peggy Brewer Yup, Spring is better. I have been noticing the quality change in other products as well. I now check all reviews and realize newer doesn't equal better. I will only buy one with a spring and great reviews. Just like updates aren't always better:) If it works awesome, don't change it. Angrybirds:)
Hello Peggy and Paul, Sadly KitchenAid is no longer making any mixers, that we know of, with the spring on them.
Why did they change the design?
Because they could, and because it saves them roughly $1.25 in hardware costs ($2 if I'm generous) and 2 minutes on the assembly line.
Welcome to the new norm: corporations eschewing logic and quality in favor of maximizing profit margins, even at the detriment of their end product and brand reputation.
Working on retrofitting the spring to my new P600, along with re-greasing the gearbox with a better quality lubricant.
Evan McCausland Please make a You Tube video of the retrofit. I found you can buy the spring at sears parts direct. Now to put a make shift metal washer underneath. You are right on all acounts. Greed vs Need! Hi Everything Kitchens:)
Don't worry you all, I got an artisan recently and with no spring, and the mixer works wonderfully, it DOESN'T make any noise and with food in the bowl the beaters perform just as good as I would expect on a kitchenaid. Don't keep yourself the pleasure to buy one just because it has no spring, works just as fine, hope it helps from a sincere cook.
Kitchen aid was sold to Whirlpool and the quality dropped .
Quality really depends on which model you buy. The Classic and Classic Plus models are is unchanged inside from the Hobart days I would not buy a Pro 5 or Pro 600.
@@russ5024 hi Russ, thanks for sharing. You are positive about this?
@@russ5024 also, in this video, none of these are classic models right?
@@tomatojuice12 save your money and get a Classic or Classic Plus
cathy9160 I have the pro 600. Poor quality, noisy motor and grinding gears. The head would get warm. Opened it up one day....not a drop of grease in the gear assembly. Dry as a bone. Greased it, runs smoother, still loud . Junk. Quality has really dropped. A friend has an older model, made by Hobart. Built like a tank. Hobart made them for Kitchen Aid. Kitchen Aid sold to whirlpool. Crap.
Annoying music to loud

Kithenaid does not last more than one year. Worst possible quality

At least he's not wearing the poofy hat!
(lol)
For the professional mixer, you noted in both reviews that small batches to whip are an issue because the whisk attachment doesn't reach the bottom of the bowl. Is this fixed by using the adjustment screw (noted in some other reviews)?
borgxxxboy yes, you can perform a beater-to-bowl clearance adjustment to get the whisk lower to the bottom of the bowl. We actually have instructions for that here if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/fpPvW7qGyvk/w-d-xo.html
