Beware: KitchenAid mixers just milking their name and reputation.
Comments (46)Hmm, I've also been reading this thread with interest because I was just about to buy a KA stand mixer. On their website, it says the Professional 600 series is "Flour Power" rated for 14 cups, "8 loaves white bread, 13 dozen cookies, 8 lb. mashed potatos" Also from their website: Warranty Our Hassle-Free Replacement Warranty guarantees that if your countertop appliance fails during the first year, KitchenAid will replace it free of charge. We will: # Deliver a replacement to your door # Arrange the return of the failed appliance # Guarantee the new appliance for one year For more information or complete warranty details on KitchenAid® countertop appliances, please call Customer Service at 1-800-541-6390. Sure doesn't sound like your experience. Maybe I'll have to look at the Cuisinart instead. W....See MoreQuestions About Hobart KitchenAid Mixer
Comments (32)Unlike some other message boards, people here don't look in much at old threads because they figure new messages are spam. You're very welcome to start a new thread of your own. We don't have thread police. You'll probably get a lot more answers. Additionally, you can choose to have one thread show both here in Cooking and also in Appliances, which might be useful. My opinion, and it's opinion only, is that while the old Hobarts were superior machines, they're only good buys if you know how to recondition and service them well (or want to learn and know where to get help). Second hand on new-ish ones from someone whose habits you know and approve of is fine. Or barely used in the box with all its accessories. Otherwise, you're taking on someone else's problems. You might also get a good deal, with a warranty on "scratch and dent", open box, display models, etc. Just don't go for a "demonstrator", which will likely have heavy use. If you frequently have uses that require a heavier duty mixer than your Artisan, getting a stronger mixer makes sense. I can't figure out from your post whether it was the meat that was partly frozen or if the mixer froze while mixing the meat. The Artisan is great for normal baking chores, including lighter breads, but it's not quite there for heavier breads without reducing the batch or other compromises. The meat might just be too much for the model, especially if there wasn't much liquid in the mix. I don't like to use the mixer for meat anyway. It gets too dense from that much handling, so I go old fashioned, put on food handling disposable gloves, and use my hands (I wonder if there's a better way to mix the meat than with the flat paddle?). I can't advise you about models. Do consider starting your own thread....See MoreKitchenaid stand mixer Pro 600 beater to bowl

Comments (4)If you rarely use a stand mixer, think about a handheld one. That’s what I have, and it’s great, though I would not use it for heavy peanut butter cookies or the like. But for cake batter, whipping cream or egg whites, creaming butter and sugar, etc. it’s great, and takes up very little space in a cabinet. I have an old Kitchenaid handheld mixer that I love, but was not sure if they’re made as well today. Still, Consumer Reports in 2020 recommended the KA KHM7210 and KHM926 (they have different accessories). Wirecutter recommends the Breville BHM800SIL which they say is more powerful than the KA models....See Moremama goose_gw zn6OH
