KitchenAid Professional 600 Review and Demo

- This video was filmed using the Sony Handycam HDR-CX260V.
We wanted to make a video demonstrating the KitchenAid Professional 600 capabilities, because we have been asked by many people what we use it for. This demo includes Mashed Potatoes (10 pounds), Meatloaf, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, White Bread Dough and Whipping Cream. We enjoy this mixer and use it much more than expected. It even has a space on our counter top. We highly recommend getting it!

I’ve had a kitchenaid classic for 24 years and it still runs like new these machines just don’t break or die it’s insane!!
4 years later and this is still a terrific review/demo of the 600. Thanks for taking the time!
You are welcome. After 4 years it is still up and running and I still love it. :)
Thank you for your comment. We did look at the Artisan and was all set to purchase it, but after checking prices online we found we could the Pro 600 for the same price as the artisan was selling for locally. We also liked the fact that the Professional 600 uses metal gears vs. the plastic ones in the Artisan, it has bowl lift vs. tilt and has a more powerful motor. I didn't think I would need the Professional either, but I use it all the time.
Heres a tip i learned working in a bakery, if you put the bowl in the freezer before you whip cream in it, it takes seriously just about a minute to whip cream. best trick ever!
Great tip thanks! :)
agreed, i usually put the whisk in there with it to chill also...not sure if that helps much more than just the bowl, but can't hurt right?
My boyfriend just bought me one of these for Christmas and I'm so excited to use it for the first time!!
Yes. I have and it handles it just as well as it did with the bread dough on the video.
Nice video, thanks for sharing. I have a KA from 1989 and I still love it. I've seen some of the newer mixers by other companies, but mine still works like a charm, although I did read where KA had some problems in the 90s with motor burn-out, gears stripping, etc. Your machine looks like it performs really well and you're obviously getting good use from it.
Thanks you for your comment. I'm sure you'll love the mixer, it hasn't disappointed us at all. :)
my husband bought the pro 600 for me. I love it. also the blender from kitchenaid is excellent too.
Great demo! thank you! i just ordered mine and I am anxiously waiting for it to arrive. =)
great assortment of examples of how to use it. I would have liked to hear more of the speed changes. You talk about low medium and high, but this machine has specific speed numbers which can help in a recipe when it may over whip or not leave the lumps you like as in the mashed potatoes.
Thank you
Thank you for the information! Just doing some research before I commit, but I think this is what I'll be buying.
There is a handle that allows you to lift the bowl and lower the bowl. The lower watt model also has plastic gears where the 600 has metal gears or at least used too, not sure if it has changed since we purchased ours. We have not been disappointed with our mixer. I'm sure your wife would love either model. Tell her said Happy Birthday! :)
I'm sure the video did enhance the sound, I like that you mentioned the make and model of your recording device :) I was interested in seeing the capabilities of the KitchenAid Pfrofessional 600, and you demonstrated them well!
No, the sound wasn't enhanced. It really is that loud.
cool demo video!
love the mixee
thank u great video i needed to see how someone used it that was really helpfull.
+Taram1987 You are welcome! :)
Gotta love how when the mixer speeds up it goes up a few notes in pitch.
hi love your videos they make my day from bad to good
Thank you so much for your comment! :)
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Bill, we appreciate your comment. 😀
Nice demo!!!! So excited to get mine!
Thanks, I'm sure you'll love it! :)
WeRmudfun I got the exact same one. o you know if you can purchase a smaller bowl? I mostly cook/bake small batches
I use the big bowl for small, medium and large batches. There is a half capacity that uses a 3 qt bowl, but it 's a combo kit.
Yes I have they were oatmeal with cranberry cookies. I have not used the Flex Edge Beater. Personally I haven't felt a need for it.
Thanks!
Thank you for this video.
You are welcome, we enjoyed making it.
I LOVE IT!!!! :) You guys did an amazing job with this video! Thank You! :) I'm looking at buying a KitchenAid but will probably get a tilt head mixer as I think a professional would be too much mixer for me. Do you think the Artisan is a good choice?
tyvm i never thought about mixing my meatloaf in mine will try that now
mysqueeker I have been using mine ever since I commented this I love it
I still love mine too. We just got the Food Grinder Attachment. We posted a video on it, it's on our channel. :)
Nice video. I just bought a refurbished copper finish 600 Pro on Overstock for $240 shipped.
Just Wow & Better Than Kenwood By 1000 Times.. Thank You So Much
You're welcome.
Have you tried making oatmeal cookies with this mixer? Also, have you tried the Flex Edge Beater attachment?
I believe it was right around $325 with rebates and specials. They always go on sale, so if you can wiat, you can save some money. :)
The mic on the camera probably does focus in on the sound, but the power of the mixer shortens the mixing time, the sound the mixer makes has not bothered me. When we did our research we also could not decide between the Artisan and the Professional. The gears on the Artesan are plastic, the Professional they are metal and for the amount of times I use this (a lot), this was important. For us this was the correct decision, I even recently bought an additional bowl. :) I do love my mixer.
You ae more than welcome. Good luck, I love mine. :)
Making yeast bread with mine right now !
I use my kitchenaid tonmake mashed taters too. This time a year using the mixer is the way to go. lol I don't think I would use it to mix up my meatloaf but hey, we get it your demoing it so it's all good. I'm wanting to upgrade to the pro series. Just can't figure out if I want the seven or six quart. And what color. Haha
Chocolate Chip cookie at 3:11. Thank you guys again. Watched my fella use ours to make some delicious cookies this morning. He's the baker, not me!
:)
The Pro 600 is loud. Mine is the same way.
AmyLearnsToCook amyyy Hii
Loud but BOY it does a great job I have had a smaller one for YEARs still have it for small things I use my large one few times a week. Wonderful'!
Great video
Thanks! 😀
Hi. Why did you all edit out the changing of the bowl? Is it that difficult? I think that is an important part in helping people make the decision between the static and moveable head.
There are two pins it mounts on then clips in position on the back. It is extremely simple, we didn't feel it necessary to show that.
It's a really good but noisy mixer. It is great for making 3lbs of bread. If I used it more frequently I would want the Pro Line series mixer with the quieter DC motor.
If you have had it for a while, try adding grease to the gear. It will quiet it down a lot.
It would have been helpful if you actually showed us the changing of the blades flat vs. whip, as I am trying to see the ease of use before purchasing.
Switching the blades out is extremely easy, we were showing what the mixer is capable of doing. The blades slide on, twist and drops into a notch...simple! :)
I found it easy too. Mine arrived, have used it already. Thank you
I like the tilt feature as well, especially cookie batter so I can spin and gradually lift head to have batter spin off (careful not to spatter kitchen). I bought the lift stand for the bigger bowl for large amounts of flour for certain breads. I have only used it for double cookie batch so far. I have a 4.5 Classic which is very old and I think needs new grease.
half turn and one is off, half turn and the other blade is on. if you're doubting that kitchen aid is the best stand mixer, you haven't done any investigating at all
@weedreporter
Hi. Did you get yours yet? If so how does it work? Thanks.
it would be great to see all the hook and bowl changes it would have made this vid so much better. I just bought the pro but it hasn't been delivered. in talking with some people the one thing people pick the artisan over the pro is the lift bowl vs the lift head. i was hoping this would have made me feel better about my choice....
It is all in personal perference. The 600 has a larger bowl and metal hooks vs the plastic ones on the Artisan, plus at the time the 600 had metal gears vs the plastic ones in the Artisan. We have not been dissapointed with our choice and that is not saying one is better than the other.
powerfull!
Thanks
You are welcome. :)
Please tell me why my standmixer 6qt liftup bowl has not proffessional series written on top of machine as yours
Kitchenaid makes a 600 model and a professional 600 model. The differences are not that much, but they are 2 separate models.
4:04 holee cow, mesmerizing dough!
I’ve heard that because the motor doesn’t tilt up and back, it’s difficult to change attachments without removing the bowl. Is that true? I noticed you stopped recording whenever there was an attachment change.
Changing attachment is easy. If the bowl is full with potatoes, you might have to push the attachment into the mix to attach it. We didn't show the attachment change because the video was getting too long and it a simple thing to do. We had never had an issue changing the attachments, even after all these years using it. Hope this helps.😀
Question for you.. how far from the bottom of the bowl does the whip stand... we are trying to figure out if there is something wrong with ours... we put in 3 egg whites and felt the whip was not reaching...
Our whip is just clearing the the bottom of the bowl. I just whipped 3 eggs whites and i got a full froth. Hope this helps. :)
Thanks so much!
Wow, I never would've thought of making meatloaf in that mixer. I've only made cakes, cookies, whipped cream, and mashed potatoes. Thanks for the idea! 😽
I wonder if you could use the dough hook to make pie dough...
I have never made pie dough, would think you could. If you try let me know how it worked please. :)
I definitely will! 👍🏻
Please show to the demo ,how will be use in india.
I can honestly say that as much as I love my mixer I hate how annoying and loud it is. The higher the speed the worse that noise is. I have two tilt mixers from the late 50 and early 60s and they aren't even close to being loud.
I have a problem with mine the bowl keep moving making ton of noises it will stay firm in low beat if beat in high speed the bowl jump like crazy .... what should I do ?
I would check the spring latch to see if it is loose or worn. It is where the bowl hooks in on the mixer.
WeRmudfun I just go it is exactly like yours same color it is a brand new I used 2 days ago the bawl was fine in slow speed but going high speed that think drove me crazy ... but I think you right I look at the spring yes was loose to be quiet honest this is my first kitchenaid mixture ..Thank you
Glad to help!
I just started using the Pro 600. On making a double loaf batch of Brioche bread the motor got hot. I mean hot enough where I took the cover off to cool the motor down. I realize any motor heats up but this seemed excessive. Does anyone have any thought on this? Much appreciated.
Just a thought, you may want to check the grease in the gears. If you just got it, it should be under warranty. You could also call the company and talk with them. Good Luck!
Im thinking about upgrading to this from my artisan, im a little concerned about whipping 1 egg white, does the whisk hit the bottom?
No, if it hit the bottom that would be bad. I have not tried whipping egg whites.
Leon Zhou Don't.
Hi again, can you please write the product name...and is the kitchenaid 5 plus better? I can't afford another one? How much you recommend it and is it durable for heavy dough like pizza frequently ? Many thanks
+Dhuha Al-Shaikhli It's the KitchenAid Professional 600. I don't know anything about the 5 Plus, this is the only unit we own. I do make pizza dough in it and it works great! :)
I have the same model and was wondering if yours smells hot when mixing white bread dough for 10 mins (using 5 to 6 cups of flour). Mine does and has overheated and shut down once. Am afraid the gears will strip soon if I make bread dough too much. Have you had any issues? How often do you make bread dough?
No smells at all. We opened up the gear box once, because we were curious what it looked like under there. We noticed the grease was all to one side, so we spread it back around. The mixer ran better and slightly quieter. You might want to try that or add grease. Good Luck. :)
@@WeRmudfun Thanks for the info! I'll check the grease in mine also
sold
Thanks, we had to eat a lot of stuff after making that video! lol
WeRmudfun ماشین خراب شده باید ترمیم شود موتور ماشین
I just want to know that when we use whisk and when we should use paddle atachment ?
I'm no a pro but I use the paddle most of the time, the whisk to do egg whites, cream, and whipped potatoes (after using the paddle to break them up). The recipe book helps with deciding what to use. Happy cooking.
@@WeRmudfun thanks ☺
how long does it take to form the dough from flour ? I wait for a good 15 mins and I don't see the dough get pick up at all. Do you know why is that? I use about 3 1/2 cup flour for basic bread recipe.
It sounds like you don't have enough liquid to flour ratio. In the instruction and recipe book that came with my mixer, the basic white bread calls for...
1/2 Cup Low Fat Milk
3 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Teaspoons Salt
3 Tablespoons Butter or Margarine
2 Packages Dry Yeast
1 1/2 Cups Warm Water
5-6 Cups of All Purpose Flour
15 Minutes does seem like a long time. I hope this helps. :)
WeRmudfun can it be because I don't put enough flour. I really don't think so. we are just 2 ppl family I don't need to make a big batch at all. I just this model is the one on sale at the time.
after 15 mins my dough look like yours at "4:31" except it stay like that forever and never get pick up.
Try sprinkling in small amounts of flour, this should help form it into a ball, if you think you have to much liquid. I sometimes have to do this with my dog cookie recipe. Good luck, let me know if that works.
You'll be glad you invested in this mixer. It will last over 35 years.
Mathius959 No, it will not. Our Professional 600 lasted 3 months before breaking and KitchenAid will not honor their warranty. However, out Hobart-made 1970s model is still running fine.
icankickmagda - KitchenAid was a spin-off of Hobart. It’s essentially the same company giving you the finger.
hey man, how many heads does this thing come with? thanks
+Ruichao Cheng It comes with a wire whisk, a dough hook and a flat beater.
I have used the flat beater maybe twice in 4 years and I just used again last week to beat up masa (white), after few minutes my masa turned gray color. any ideas of why this happened? can plastic attachments will work on this machine? thank you!
Sorry, I have never used masa, so I can't answer you.
I actually work for KitchenAid. It sounds like you may have the burnished aluminum beaters. After hand washing it is recommended that you get them very dry. Do not wash in dishwasher.
buy the coated beaters from Amazon... that's what i plan on doing
Pam Matthews Exactly. Or call KitchenAid and let us take care of ya! We have discontinued the burnished aluminum because of the issues with them. Coated beaters or stainless steel are the way to go!
how much time of mixing was separately ?
I'm not sure what you are asking.
U can put the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before making meguines
My first use of my kitchenaid 20 mins of running and it’s stop May be over heat
Never had an issue and we have been using this machine for many years. If it is new, i would take it back and get another one.
Nice vid tutorial. Have you guys ever try to cut back on the noise? I live in a residential unit and like to bake at night. Don't want to disturb the neighborhood. Lol.
Jolene8 No, our neighbors are far away. LOL It's not as loud as the video makes it out to be. We filmed it very close, should have used more zooming instead. :)
+WeRmudfun Thanks so much. And for the vid in the machine. Really helpful! ;)
WeRmudfun Hi I have th pro 6 series and mine was noisey also, I thought it was broke since i've worked with these at school and they were much quieter, i took the top off and opened the gear box and found very little grease so i put more food grade grease in the gear box and now its much quieter, theres alot of tutorials on you tube that can help thats where i found my info good luck.
me two when I have it o huge it is sonpuod
Also does it reach to the bottom of the bowl?
+Dhuha Al-Shaikhli Yes it does reach the bottom of the bowl, but can also be adjusted.
How do I adjust the dough hook,? My hook isn't low enough to knead my bread, one person said to turn a screw but it doesn't help
It has the planetary action. Reaches all points of the bowl. That’s what sets KitchenAid apart from others.
wow
my wife is worried about the fact that the mixer does not tilt backwards to allow you to remove the bowl ....the lower watt model tilts up but i tell her the power is more needed than the tilting action.....this video does not show how easy it is to remove the bowl with the attachments in place...how easy is it to remove a full bowl..? thanks a million in advance my wife has wanted one since we got together and thats 13 yrs ago. her birthday is coming up.
Damn that thing is noisy.
Impressive indeed but expensive as well!
Worth every penny. I used it on average at least once a week for the last 9 years. 😀
Hello, your video is from 2013. Are you still happy with this model in 2020? Is there anything about it that you don't like? Any repair issues? It's done a great job on everything you've shown here. Thank you.
Still going strong and I use it a lot. 😀
@@WeRmudfun Good, glad to read that. My KA is from the 1980s and still going strong, but when I have to replace it, I was wondering what one to get. Thanks.
Hi...how long have you been using it? And how often please
+Dhuha Al-Shaikhli I got it in 2011 and used it a couple times a week. It stays on my counter top. :)
+WeRmudfun wow thanks a lot
Dhuha Al-Shaikhli You are welcome.
Y su valor me gusta
Your suppose to knead bread dough on #2 speed...no higher!
That is correct and I never went higher than 2.
Judith Cook.
making one loaf of bread, start on no more than speed two. two loafs of bread don't go over speed two. mine worked fine for a little more than a year, just long enough to go out of warranty, then it broke some teeth on the gears, fortunately I was able to repair it at a small cost with the help of a couple of demo repairs on you tube. follow the directions in the manual or you will be sorry. PS, I used it to make bread at least once a week.
Was that a single batch of cookies?
Yes, I believe it was.
I just got one in red! Your's still going strong?
Yes, it is still running strong. We also just bought another one to keep in the RV. Love this model. :)
Strong as in terribly loud
WeRmudfun keeps the bears away?
5:36 turbine powered stand mixer
That lady is great :-))
Yes she is, that's why I married her! :)
Don’t go crazy. I like lumps in my mashed potatoes.
the pro 600 model motor is 100 watts stronger then the Pro HD model ! I don't know if anyone can tell the difference, but it is. the attachments are way to expensive in my book!
How big is the bowl?^
6 Quart
WeRmudfun thanks!
I've been shopping for a KitchenAid mixer and I've been considering both the Artisan and Professional 600 mixers. One thing I'm concerned about is the noise level of the 600 models...it sounds like a loud, high pitched whine that's quite unpleasant. I've never heard either machine running outside of You Tube videos, is the sound on your video accurate?
it's not loud at all. about the same as a hand mixer. i've had conversations with people while we were standing on either side of the thing while it was on. not an issue.
how much
+Aurelia Blakney We don't sell them, this is our personal one. A search of the web should bring you a bunch of prices. :)
What is the price
Link is in the Description Box below video... amzn.to/43lPB6q
can I have the recipe from the choclate cookies?
Here is the video of the chocolate chip cookies. Ingredients are in the description box below the video. :)
Try making them potatoes with the skins on next time. Delicious.
Plus, you don't have to peel them!
Thanks for the tip. :)
WeRmudfun Scrub them well though. Clean potato skins are great, dirty ones not so much.
judsonkr Delicious _and nutritious!_
=)
judsonkr
the food grinder attachment has a #8 plate and a 2 1/8" diameter stuffing horn. the box doesn't tell u that, even KA doesn't tell that !! what's the secret? LOL !!
i'm sure your stuffing horn will work fine
when using this 600 machine, I cover a cardboard box on it
KITCHENAID
Geez super annoying to listen to. Really noisy. Was considering purchasing this and upgrading my 28 year old machine but not sure I can take the noise.
+Karen Rossy As stated in the comment below...The noise is enhanced due to the video camera being close to the mixer. It's really not that bad. I still love it. :)
Karen Rossy Keep your 28 year old machine. Our old Hobart KitchenAid is working fine. The new Professional 600 model we bought though broke after 3 months. When it was working it actually was quite loud and not a camera effect.
it's not any louder than a hand mixer.
Is not she the guys wife from Americas test kitchen? Uncanny resemblance!
I would not recommend using attachments with the Pro 600 series ( other models with less power, for that matter). The gears can't take the stress. We used the meat grinder attachment. Stripped teeth off of one of the plastic gears and caused extensive wear on others which necessitated the replacement of all gears so that it would work. You're looking at $58 for replacement gears and 30 minutes of your labor if you do.
If your mixer was made after 2007, i thought it should have all metal teeth on all gear assemblies? is this not the case for you or was yours made in 2007 or before?
it is only 2 years old.
Thank you for the reply!!
So annoying those noise! Hope my heavy duty is not that noisy!
You should be fine. We have a comment pinned stating that the camera was too close to the mixer when this video was filmed over 6 years ago. The mixer is a lot quieter than the video makes it out to be and is still running strong.
In india we call it a hopeless machine. Company lies with 5 years warentee. And when it gets spoiled i an year or 2 doesn’t give srvice at all . Infact grabs money and machine becomes showpiece. According to to me in india its hopeless company ever came across
We have had ours for over 10 years and it is still running strong.
WeRmudfun may be old were good. India it is very bad and no service atall
WeRmudfun reading similar views i purchased and regretted. Its a machine so possible of happening something but giving 5 years warentee no service at all in india. Many of us are regretting
Your mixer sounds terrible
That is the way it was picked up by the mic on the camcorder, it sounds the same as all the others. We were showing the capabilities of the mixer, not the sound quality. :) I love my mixer and will buy it again if necessary.
Sometimes mixers need to have parts greases. I saw at kitchen aide.com has the grease for 7.98
