It’s quieter because it has a DC motor vs the AC motors found in most KA mixers. The DC motors are quieter, more powerful, run cooler, and should last longer.
I purchased mine 2 yrs ago because my smallish one was getting overwhelmed with my dough. This has been a game changer. It’s a power horse, it’s quiet, It works perfectly in settings 1 or 2 for me. I use several times a week. I absolutely love it
Last year I upgraded from my Professional 550 to the 8qt commercial because my Christmas baking was overwhelming the 550. The 8 qt has been awesome. Handles all my massive batches with aplomb. I did buy the paddle with the silicone scraper for things like frostings since it scrapes the bowl as it mixes.
So far it's worked great. Like I said, I primarily use it for things in the frosting realm of consistency. It's not as heavy duty as the attachments that come with the mixer though. @@the.kitchenmom
Glad you're enjoying your Commercial mixer so much. I had thought of getting one, but haven't done so yet. That pastry paddle looks amazing. Thanks for such an interesting video.
Congratulations on your relationship with your new KitchenAid... So Happy for You.... Hope one of these days I too will have you congratulate ME on my new arrival of a Commercial Kitchen-Aid...
@@the.kitchenmom I will definitely give you all the credit... because of your great video I was thinking about getting the Pro... but after seeing your video on the Commercial one... WOW!!!
@@the.kitchenmom I will be 69 years old this month... been cooking since I was 17 years old... and I think I deserve a KitchenAid... but not only that... through the years will all the mistakes I have made... I have learned that it is worth buying something that is just a little bit better... and get better results. The ONLY reason I would buy a Commercial KitchenAid is the fact I am RE-Opening my Acting Studio and having the Mystery Dinner Theatre with it... LOTS of cooking.. Not counting I give out 3 meals a day plus snacks... desserts... So... I think I deserve and NEED a Commercial KitchenAid.... BAHAHAHAHAHA... I sound like a "Commercial" FOR KitchenAid.. A few years ago ... I got a Vitamix 750 Pro after really studying ALL of the Vitamix... and KNEW that the 750 Pro was the ONE for me... Worth EVERY Penny... You're only as good as your tools...
I have the Commercial Kitchen Aid in red that I got about 5 years ago. Love it!! I burned out my old "Professional" model with double batches of cookies. It just couldn't handle the abuse. I have mine on the counter spot that does not have an upper cabinet. I have a paddle attachment with a rubber edge that is my favorite. I don't have to scrape the edges of my batter as often. TFS
Higher powered mixers are great, but they definitely require some adjustments with timing. I have a Blakeslee that I inherited from my mother. It is like a mini-Hobart. If you aren’t watching carefully, you can actually liquify items you are mixing. Because of this, I’ve been a little hesitant to use it to its full potential. If you have any suggestions that you’ve come up with (in using your new commercial mixer), I would be grateful for any helpful hints. So glad to hear that you are enjoying your new mixer.
Oh wow! I have not liquefied anything yet, but I also haven’t run it higher than speed 4. I haven’t needed to. I will definitely keep that in mind and let you know if I figure out any tricks! Thanks for watching 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I absolutely love the commercial one for double batches. I sell some baked goods in the summer at a farmers market and this gem has made that process so much faster and less stressful.
@@lrbogoyes it is the contour silver. I purchased mine through KitchenAids website directly. I have a link in the description of the video to buy it, but it’s through Amazon. It’s the same product either way. I just don’t know how the warranty stuff works out through Amazon.
the red unit likely needs fresh grease, depending how much you use these and the types of grease used, they typically need new grease every year, Mr Mixer has several videos on how to do this
I have a 40 year old lift head KitchenAid similar to your red one and it’s as quiet as your commercial model. I wonder what they changed? Even the speed slide is very quiet on my old one while yours sounds very notchy - not a bad thing but an audible difference. Enjoy the new mixer!!
I’m not sure what they changed. I know the commercial one has a different motor than my red one. So maybe the older household KitchenAids also used to have the quieter motor. I am very much enjoying my new mixer! Thanks for watching! 🙂
The company got sold to a generic appliance company a handful of years ago and all the newer mixers were made much more cheaply. My professional 5qt cannot handle more than once per week to either bread cookie dough.
@@rachelbuster2826 Sad. This seems so typical the past 30 or so years. Companies spend more time shipping stuff overseas or lowering the quality as they run their companies solely through spreadsheet as opposed to ensuring satisfied customers. Near sighted thinking courtesy of stupid “shareholder value”. But when you disenfranchise your customers the value of the corporation goes down. Anyway. I’m glad I could get decent replacement full metal parts from the parts store on Utah - and they ship to Canada. Now I just need to repaint and then rebuild my 1960s era Hobart built KitchenAid :-).
The Quiet Motor is a BLESSING... Especially when you're seriously working hours and hours with the K.A. Too loud of noise wrecks your nevers... That is why we have wine at night... BAHAHAHAHA
Thanks for the vid, can you tell me how it's been behaving since the last time you reviewed it? I make a lot of bread at home so I just want to make sure it can withstand the amount of work I'll put it through. A friend of mine was using an artisan mixer to make her bread dough and in a couple of months the gears started to wear, and KitchenAid did not want to honor the warranty as they told her that it was made to only be used once a week with heavy work and no more.
Oh interesting. I’ve had the 8 qt for almost a year now and I use it multiple times a week to make double batches of breads, and scones (pretty dense dough). It is holding up great. The motor still sounds quiet and solid. I could definitely see where the artisan one isn’t standing up to making breads much. I only use my artisan one to make icings and cakes anymore. Hope that is helpful, thanks for watching!
@the.kitchenmom thanks for the reply, that's gives me some peace of mind! I'll definitely see if I can buy one of these commercial grade mixers in the very near future 😊
I would imagine that KitchenAid has a European model. That would be something you would have to find on their website specifically. Sorry I can’t be of more assistance. Thanks for watching!
I have put up to 9 cups of flour to form a soft dough in it with no issues. There is no where in the manual or instructions that gives you a limit. Just have to play with it a little, I guess.
Not sure how well the translation works on here. But, you do need a specific 5 quart bowl to fit the 8 quart Commercial KitchenAid Mixer in the video. I don't think a 5 quart bowl from a smaller mixer would work. I may be wrong on that. Here is a link to a bowl that will fit this particular mixer and is 5 quarts amzn.to/3TqS4d0 I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
@@the.kitchenmom I’m guessing they are making lower wattage motors now. I have a 6 quart model I bought at Costco a few years ago. It has a 590 watt motor!
An important advice regarding the Commercial (aka Heavy Duty and also the Pro600 ) KA, it doesn't have the safety plastic gear that protects the motor. So be aware and use it without demanding too much of it. Since the motor and gears will damage and will need to be entirely replaced (which costs similar to buying a new one).
That would be interesting to note. I don’t find much need to run it above speed 2, but that is probably just because of my proclivity to certain recipes. Thanks for watching!
It’s quieter because it has a DC motor vs the AC motors found in most KA mixers. The DC motors are quieter, more powerful, run cooler, and should last longer.
Yes the DC motor has got to be the reason it’s so quiet. Makes me wonder why they don’t put the DC motor in the other KA mixers.
If Hobart still built KitchenAid, all KitchenAid mixers most likely would have DC motors, and they'd last a lit longer.@bakingwithbeatitude
@@williamslater-o5bif only. Though my KitchenAids tend to last me a good while, and I put them to the test for sure!
I love my commercial Kitchenaid also! I also got the 7 qt and 5 qt bowls that can go with it.
Nice! I didn’t know there were 7 and 5 qt bowls to go with it. That’s good to know! 🙂

Thanks for watching! Yes it is so much better than the smaller models.
Where can I get one
@@sandraangel8871 I got mine from the Kitchen-aide website. At the bottom I clicked on Commercial Stand Mixers. Small bakeries use these
Last year I upgraded from my Professional 550 to the 8qt commercial because my Christmas baking was overwhelming the 550. The 8 qt has been awesome. Handles all my massive batches with aplomb. I did buy the paddle with the silicone scraper for things like frostings since it scrapes the bowl as it mixes.
Awesome. Do you like the silicone scraper paddle? I’m curious as to whether it would wear out and break off in the mix
So far it's worked great. Like I said, I primarily use it for things in the frosting realm of consistency. It's not as heavy duty as the attachments that come with the mixer though.

Thank you! If you do end up purchasing one, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I do love using the pastry paddle. Thanks for watching!
I recommend the side swipe blade for this for creaming butter for cookies or cakes.
Thanks! I will look into that 😊

The company put in more insulation to mute the noise.
Interesting, well it worked!
The 8 Qt. Commercial model uses a 1.3 HP DC motor. There is no insulation "under the hood".
@@jklphoto I heard the models with a DC motor is quieter than the models with an AC motor. Which is why the model with a 5 QT bowl is louder.
