KitchenAid 600 Review

What a great product. I just wanted to buy a mixer that I wouldn't have to upgrade or replace, ever. I don't plan to make baked goods on a large scale, but want the option, if necessary. So far I've made breads, pizza dough, and cookies. I've also and whipped cream to stiff peaks and egg whites into a stiff meringue. Even though the bowl is large it can still be used to whip small quantities, in my case either three egg whites or a 3/4 cup heavy cream. All of these tasks are done with ease on this machine. Based on prior reviews I was expecting the noise level to sound like a small jet engine, but it wasn't too loud.

My only beef is that they could pay slightly more attention to the fit and finish - the metal band around the housing was slightly loose, which creates a slight gap between the band and the housing/channel for the band. This won't affect performance, but will eventually make the unit harder to keep clean.

I like the new splash shield - one piece is superior to the two piece shield I had on a previous artisan mixer. And the burnished aluminum paddle and dough hook are easy to clean and feel quite substantial.

KP26M1X KitchenAid 600 Review 2

As a result of a diet, both my wife and I found that we were wheat-sensitive, and finding good tasting wheat-free, gluten-free (WF/GF) bread in our friendly grocery store proved to be impossible. WF/GF bread made from scratch involves a sticky mess that will quickly clog hand-held mixers. But, with the purchase of this KitchenAid Pro 600, that's a thing of the past.

The (KP26M1X) mixer easily combines the WF/GF flours, gums and other ingredients with a minimum of fuss and bother. We now carry the mixer with us when we travel in our RV, and I've made WF/GF bread and muffins with ease. It's heavy enough to not walk across the counter when operating, yet light enough to tote with us. I premix the flour combinations with the whisk, then change to the paddle when adding liquids. The 6-quart bowl is large enough for two 1 1/2 pound loafs, and should easily accomodate two 2-lb loaves. I'd recommend this mixer to anyone.

KitchenAid 600 KP26M1X Review 3

This was my first stand mixer. One of the smartest purchases I've made. I love it. I love it. I love it. It's powerful, easy to clean, and very easy to operate. I've only owned it for a few months. So far I've used it for for mixing cake batters, cookie batters, and buttercreams. I've yet to use it for heavier batters such as bread. It's stood the test for mixing a large amount of cookie batters.

Contrary to other reviews, I think it's very quiet. Looking forward to creating more delicious desserts with my Kitchenaid mixer.

KP26M1X KitchenAid 600 Mixer Review 4

I was ready for greater capacity, more power and a more cosmetically appealing mixer, so I took the plunge with the KP26M1XC (licorice). I'm glad I did.

The machine is a bit louder with more of a high whine at higher speeds, but I would expect that with the added power and size.

This morning I took it for a "test drive" with a 600 gram (flour) batch of pizza dough using very high gluten flour which I kneaded at speed 2 for 5 minutes. The sound under load wasn't at all unpleasant and the spiral dough hook really works the dough like the professional mixers I used in culinary school and on the job.

I've mostly used my 5 quart Kitchen Aid for cakes, muffins, pate choux for eclairs, mashed potatoes and whipped cream and meringue. I've made my bread dough exclusively in my large capacity Cuisinart food processor. Now that I have a more powerful Kitchen Aid mixer, I feel confident it can take the challenge of the high gluten dough (Take heed: DO NOT USE MORE THAN 8 CUPS PER BATCH OF HIGH GLUTEN BREAD FLOUR, WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR OR ANY OTHER HEAVY GRAIN FLOUR. THE 12 CUP CAPACITY REFERS EXCLUSIVELY TO ALL PURPOSE FLOUR. ALSO, ONLY USE SPEED 2 when kneading dough. (Repeat this to yourself 20 times and post a notice above your machine, especially if you have a spouse, kids or roomate(s) in your household that might use the machine.)

Caught up in the excitement of this new, beautiful machine I was inspired to purchase the pasta roller accessory based on the terrific reviews on Amazon, I also added the sausage stuffer to my order (could this be used to fill eclairs? I wonder....) as an addition to my collection of accessories.

Currently the attachment I use most frequently is the shredder which I use exclusively for shredding cheese for pizza and casseroles like lasagna.

And, the Licorice is a matt, slightly pearlized finish, which nicely complements the black trim on my larger appliances. An unexpected bonus of this dark color is that it really shows the "dirt/flour/batter enabling me to get it "spanking" clean after use. With my middle-aged eyesight I find it hard to see the accumulating mess on my white machine.
