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 think the main difference is that the pro logic is pre seasoned. I can tell you that we love our pro logic. We use it mainly to make artisan bread. It is a perfect size and the crust is always beautiful.

On September 7, 2009, I bought a black onyx Kitchen-Aid Artisan 5 quart stand mixer from Bed, Bath and Beyond in Dayton, Ohio, for $232.92 including tax, . Normally it would have been $299.99 but I used one of their 20% off coupons. (Apparently, Artisan mixer prices vary according to the colors as well as where one buys the product.)Amazon wanted $289.95 but the S & H was not included.Kohl's was having one of their "best prices of the season sale" and they wanted the full $349.99 that is Kitchen-Aid's asking price.

THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE COSTCO PRO 600 6QT Mixer! Found some new info and this blade is most definitely NOT compatible with the PRO 600 Series KitchenAid Costco is selling. There are multiple comments on the product and its new bowl design being more narrow and deep than the traditional 6 QT model. It is indeed 6 QTs, just a new bowl design, possibly just designed for Costco. You can clearly see the difference when comparing pictures. I saw this review there that was helpful too: ""the bowl is taller and narrower than any of the PRO 600 models, it is still 6 qts, but it will not work with the Metro Designs BeaterBlade for 6 qt KA mixers (KA-6L)" Hopefully this is helpful to anyone who purchased theirs from Costco. It appears that, per KitchenAid, none of the regular KA accessories, IE Lids and Pouring Shields don't fit this bowl either. Their only recommendation is to buy a 5QT bowl (apparently the regular 6 QT won't fit) and buy the accessories you want for that bowl. So sorry I can't use this product with my new mixer. I did notice that the new bowl does seem to do better with the factory attachments, so I may not even need an attachment like this. Hope that helps!

I have both a 5000 (the predecessor to the 5200) and a Pro 750 (like the 300, but with the addition of 5 presets). The 300 is a Next Generation Vitamix as are the 7500 and the Pro 750. These machines come equipped with a low profile, wide bottom, 64 oz. container with a 4 inch blade, which is far more efficient than the standard tall and narrow 64 oz. container with a 3 inch blade that's used with earlier models. The wider bottom makes it much easier to remove heavy and/or sticky contents from the container, and the 4 inch blade makes quick work of everything. It's not really that the newer models don't handle small quantities well, it that the new container with the wider bottom requires more volume to cover the blades. Therefore, batches under two cups are best processed in a smaller container. I have a 32 ounce container that I originally bought to use with my 5000 when I needed to make a small batch of something, like salad dressing for example. I find it's also the perfect container to use for making small batches with my Pro 750. In my opinion, the Next Generation series of machines are far superior to previous models.

NO, you will need a mixer, I recommend Kitchen aid Pro Line Series or the Professional 600

Did any of you see the Popular Mechanix video that tested blenders? Neither the blentec or the vitamix comes out looking very good. I've been using my Kitchenaid 5-speed, which won the competition, everyday for green smoothies and it does a great job at a fraction of the cost.

Don't buy either, IMHO. I wanted one for years and finally bought an Artisan, though I only use them for family dinners.On its 5th or 6th use, it dumped grease oil in the food. Just sitting, it started dripping oil, and the gears started sounding distressed.KitchenAid support said this is normal. They said I should run the mixer every couple weeks. On average, over 3 calls to customer support, they indicated it was normal for the gear grease to separate and drip into food.

You will need to get the KitchenAid Artisan Mixer 5KSM150PSE. This mixer will run on 220V. These are made for the overseas market. I hope this information helps.

Basically both are the same machine, except the DM0600 has a glass blender as opposed to plastic for the 500, and 600 has the plastic No Brainer mixing container for many tropical drinks. You pick a drink and it shows how much liquid of each ingredient to add for that beverage. To me, a plastic blender jar was good enough, and although the no brainer would be quick and easy to use, I could easily enough play around with ingredients on my own with out the added cost. You can purchase a glass (and plastic) blender jar and a No Brainer measuring cup separately if you need to.

I owned a Sunbeam Mixmaster for over 40 years before it finally died and thought I wanted a KitchenAid. I purchased a KitchenAid and just was never satisfied. It never whipped frostings as well as my Sunbeam did and this may have been because of the 2 bowl size and beater position adjustment. I always had to scrape the bottom of the KitchenAid no matter how I tried to adjust. I would suggest stepping up to a slightly more expensive model of Sunbeam as the base on this model is plastic and not a sturdy as I would prefer but I absolutely love everything else . . . and whipped potatoes are also creamy and fluffy once again.

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.

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 love mynKitchenaid Pro-600. Hated the hand mixer, just because of those stupid wire beaters....I am going to look for a vintage Sunbeam with thenflat beaters. I bought a Cucina Roma Hand mixer becauseit had flat beaters...its a piece of Chinese Junk

Yes - I have the Pro 600 and this 7 quart mixer. The bowls can be used on either machine - 6 on the 7 and 7 on the 6.

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

I think this would be a perfect machine. I got it because it has the stronger motor and should last longer. My old one was pretty but through constant use it only lasted about a year and my neighbor is having the same problem. That's why this time I went with the Pro.
