Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KP26M1XER Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Empire Red
Customer Review: Kitchenaid KP26M1XER is a powerful workhorse!
Summary: 5 Stars
This mixer is everything it is claimed to be - big, fast and powerful. It does an excellent job.
My only complaint is that both the instruction manual and the accessory parts list describe specifically a 2-piece splash cover, but it has apparently been redesigned to be a single-piece part which is undoubtedly easier to use. After Amazon shipped a 2nd complete unit to replace the "missing part", and the same part appeared to be missing, it became apparent that the part had been redesigned, but the documentation had not been.
And I can't say enough good about Amazon's response! The first unit, and the replacement, were shipped free and both arrived in 2 days via Fedex!!
Customer Review: Early Christmas present

I have been wanting a really nice mixer for a long time; however, until June of this year, I was unable to have one in my really small kitchen. After we moved, I began searching advertisements for stores trying to get the best buy. I already knew that Consumer Reports rated Kitchenaid one of the better mixers. When I found the top of the line model on sale at Amazon, I told my husband that it would be my Christmas present. However, as I was waiting for it to arrive, I began to think that this mixer was needed before Christmas. That was the best decision. I have made cakes, cookies, & breads. I love the mixer. I am collecting more recipes to try out soon. Thanks for the great deal, Amazon!!Customer Review: Ultimate Mixer

My husband bought this mixer for me for xmas this year. It was more than what i had expected. I already have a Classic model that i have owned for 10 yrs, but i have really dreamed about owning a "lift" model. Wow, was i surprised when i got it as a gift! I have been using it every weekend since i got it. I love the splash shield, the lower mixing speeds and the hi speed whips. Highly recommend this model to anyone that does alot of baking - even my teenage son likes it more. My Classic is now in our Pole Bldg kitchen for summer baking needs (i'm not getting rid of this one either) KitchenAid by far is a superior product.Customer Review: A must for the home baker

I used a 5-quart KitchenAid mixer for over 25 years and it had worked just fine. Graduating to the 6-quart however has been terrific! The difference has been remarkable for kneading bread dough, mixing batters, etc. in terms of time (it is quicker) and quality of the dough (smoother). If you are someone who has been wondering if it is worth the money to get the professional model, go for it! You will be happy you did. Just a note: the 6-quart model did not fit under my kitchen cabinet the way the 5-quart model did. Not a problem for me as I just made a few re-arrangements and am actually happier with the new locations.Customer Review: KitchenAid KP26M1XER

Mixer works well but it is very noisy. We used the mixer heavily for our holiday baking. The dough hook is much more efficient than the on on the K5SS. However, the planetary gear area gets very hot after about ten minutes of kneading bread dough. Another heating problem is that the shaft on the nut grinder got too hot to touch after grinding only about eight cups of walnuts.
I called KitchenAid about the noise and customer service said it was normal. I had not done the heavy mixing and grinding at the time I called about the noise so I did not report the heating "problem". I will call KitchenAid after the holidays.
