Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KP26M1XCV Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Caviar Gloss

Customer Review: Hoped for more
Summary: 1 Stars

I receive the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series for Christmas. I was very excited, because I have never had a KitchenAid before. I couldn't wait to try it out. My daughter and I tried one of the bread recipes from the recipe book that came with it. When the machine started mixing the flour, we smelled a burning plastic smell. I hoped it was from it just being new. It wasn't.

I have made 4 more batches of bread. On the last batch, the machine stopped while it was kneading the bread. I smelled a really strong smell of burnt plastic right before it stopped. I called customer service about the problem. They were not very helpful. I was told that this was common, and when the mixer got hot, to let it cool down. What? How ridicules is that? This machine says that it can "effectively mix up to 14 cups of all-purpose flour per recipe". The recipe I was using was 7 cups of flour. Two of those cups were wheat flour which does make for denser bread that is harder to mix, but it shouldn't have made that big of a difference. It does not make sense to use this machine for making bread if you have to turn it off when it gets warm and then do the kneading yourself!

My machine did turn on again after a half an hour, but it still smells like burnt plastic when I use it. My only choice is to use it until it stops permanently, and then I can get a replacement from the company (if it stops before a year is up). The new machine will then be put into my cupboard to make cookies while I use something else for making bread. I should have purchased something else to start with! I'm sad to say that I now have a very expensive dust collector. If your interest in this machine is to make bread-look somewhere else.
