I own the Pro 600 and its great for kneading dough..the bowl is big and accomadates double batches for my cookies....However be warned that the noise it makes will sit on your last nerve..the drive is different then the Artisan so its far noisier..and having had the tilt head prior to this..I must say I like that more then the lift...Perhaps you want to go hear it in person before buying it..you can do that at Williams Sonoma stores...If you can stand the noise..you will probably love the mixer..does pizza dough for me in a few minutes...great every time!

I have a 600 pro and it fits... i would suggest emailing kitchenaid.com and live chat with someone who can further assist you... if it fits your mixer, I would strongly suggest you get it. It makes amazing frosting (high for 4-5 minutes)!

Not sure. 750 is the artisan series only sold by higher end kitchen stores. Has better book by the actual chef and the biggest 2.2 HP motor as well as 40% quieter than older versions.

It does great for home based quantities, we used it for bread. But I think it's underpowered and undersized for this. Step up to the 600, can't remember the exact model but it's larger and heavier. That is what we needed to do. If you price shop you'll find the heavier one for just a little bit more. I bought one of the heavier new and one of the heavier factory refurbished for my daughter. The first refurb had a bit of noise; they replaced it right away and the replacement has been fine for 5 years. Hope this helps!

Size/capacity and ease of cleaning. the pro is smaller, but faster and much easier to clean. The tec is larger but takes much longer and is more difficult to keep clean. Also you can only froth milk in the Tec any powder mixes clog it up whereas the pro is great fro mixing chai and hot chocolates. We use both and hands down the pro works great and is a super easy to clean. We also have a 500ml Secura Automatic Electric Milk Frother and Warmer like the tech it has a larger capacity and can only froth milk (no powders) but it is super fast. on the downside it's got electronics on the pot itself which makes cleaning a little more delicate.

Check the New Metro blade website. Im not sure. My wife has the KitchenAid Pro 600 with the 6qt bowl.

I think the Pro 600 is the greatest unit of all. I was surprised to hear that the noise it makes sits on Jillie Bean's nerves as mine is no louder than the Artisan models. I love the lift device and the fact I can place up to 14 cups of flour in it at one time. I make biscotti and anyone that has ever made them knows how stiff this dough really is. This unit handles it like nothing. In a few minutes it's all kneaded and ready to place in oven. I just love it and can't recommend it enough. It is worth every penny you pay for it.

I believe that this is the better option. I love my KitchenAid mixer, but sometimes it even strains when mixing extra thick cookie dough. I have used this grinder many times and the motor is more than powerful enough, and is very durable. When you consider the cost of the KitchenAid attachment, this really isn't that much more.

If it's a "Kitchenaid 5qt mixer" then yes...... Since Artisan is a model of that "Kitchenaid 5qt mixer" and that takes the same attachment as all for the "Kitchenaid 5qt mixers"... BTW it's the best attachment we own for it....

There is a mix of metal and nylon/plastic gears in the Aristan line models. It makes the mixer quieter that the Pro 600 line, but obviously that makes a difference in it's ability to handle extremely heavy duty work. I've confirmed this information with Kitchenaid Customer Service as of November 19, 2014. They absolutely confirm that there ARE nylon/plastic gears in the Artisan line. I'm not saying it's an inferior model, just different.

Sorry I had some outpatient procedure took me a little bit to get back to email. I wanted the Consumer Report recommended KitchenAid Architech Series KHM 920A. I received the KitchenAid KHM 9260 BO. Did this help?

I had previously answered with details of the Artisan 50 but was not aware of the L100. Curious, I started searching for information. I found the L100 mentioned only on European sites; I'm not sure it's even available in the US. One Indian review I read panned the printer, labeling it "expensive for a single-function printer, noisy and slow."

Looks like the Pro 500. It's marked on the item on the face . Excellent Blender.

Sorry, but I have the KCM534, which I believe is the JavaStudio model. So, I guess I'm not sure about the KitchenAid Pro.

The Classic has a 250 watt motor while the Artisan has a 325 watt motor. That is the biggest difference.

It is difficult to move the mixer on our counter top. You must lift it to move it. We have done several large bread and cookie dough batches and it has not moved at all. I am not familiar with the Artisan model except we wanted the larger motor and all metal gears for longevity. So far it has not disappointed us. I also read the 7 quart model has a die-cast frame which might be heavier resulting in more grab when sitting on our counter top. So far we have not noticed any movement at all.

I bought the 600 also and it is a piece of junk. I had to replace the transmission within 2 years. You cannot grind meat, regardless of what Kitchen Aid says. Caveat Emptor, it clearly is not worth the price. I also bought two machines for my daughter in laws, both have had quality issues. 3 for 3 nothing but crap.
