Redesigned for the serious home baker, the KP26M1X KitchenAid is KitchenAid's most powerful stand mixer. With a 575-watt motor and all-metal quality construction, this rugged mixer looks like it means business, and that's before you even turn it on.

But flick that switch, and you're in for quite the performance. Its 575-watt motor comes with heavy-duty transmission. And for added peace of mind, the KitchenAid Professional mixer boasts Commercial-style motor protection. The KP26M1X KitchenAid is a solid kitchen appliance you can depend on: a long life of quiet, trouble-free operation.

Capable of holding 14 cups of flour, the KP26M1X KitchenAid's 6-quart bowl will let you mix over 8 loaves of bread, 8 pounds of mashed potatoes, or 13 dozen cookies, and you won't even need to rotate the bowl even once!

That's because KitchenAid has created a unique planetary mixing action which allows for the beater to spin clockwise while the shaft spins counterclockwise. This unique design moves the beater to 67 different points around the bowl, ensuring that ingredients are mixed faster and very thoroughly.

The KP26M1X KitchenAid's professional bowl-lift design allows the bowl to be raised into the mixing position. The Soft Start mixing function of the KitchenAid Professional mixer helps keep ingredient spatter and flour puff under control. Its 10-speed slide control provides for gentle acceleration to your chosen speed, from a very slow stir to a very fast whip.

The KP26M1X KitchenAid also features an electronic speed sensor which helps maintain a consistent mixing speed, even when adding ingredients. When overload is detected, the mixer automatically shuts off for commercial-style motor protection. The seamless one-piece motor head design makes for quick and easy cleaning.

The KP26M1X KitchenAid Professional arrives fully equipped to get you started on the spot:

• a burnished aluminum flat beater for normal to heavy mixtures like cakes, quick breads, biscuits, cookies, pie pastry, creamed frostings, candies, mashed potatoes or meat loaf;
• a PowerKnead spiral dough hook (designed to handle 20% more dough than previous models with a forceful punching and rolling action to replicate hand-kneading) for mixing and kneading yeast doughs such as breads, buns, rolls, or coffee cakes;
• a professional wire whip to incorporate air into mixtures like eggs, egg whites, mayonnaise, heavy cream, angel food cakes, sponge cakes, boiled frostings, as well as some candies; and
• a pouring shield with a large chute for adding ingredients to help prevent ingredient splash-out.

Last but not least, the KP26M1X KitchenAid Professional stand mixer has a multipurpose attachment hub with a hinged hub cover which can be flipped open for easy installation of optional attachments.
