Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KP26M1XMR Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Meringue
Customer Review: Not intended for frequent bread making
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this mixer in 2008 to be the primary bread kneeder for our family. I used it regularly for bread (3-4 times per week) with a recipe that was included in the cookbook which accompanied the mixer. The recipe was for two loaves of french bread, requiring only 7 cups of flour, well below the KitchenAid's advertised 14-cup capacity. It was also used for other baking needs such as single batch cookies, or double batches of quick breads. This is a great machine if you plan on using it sparingly or rarely plan on kneeding bread. It does not live up to it's advertised claims. If you are going to be using it sparingly, save you money and buy the cheapest model. I have numerous friends that have the basic mixer with no problems. Everyone I know that has purchased the "Professional" has been disappointed.
After 8-months, the machine broke. The cylinder that turns the mixing attachment seemed to get stuck. It would no longer turn any attachment, thus rendering the mixer unable to be used. I called the customer service line and a new mixer was sent out to replace the machine. I have no complaints about the quick, no questions asked return policy from KitchenAid. I did ask at the time if there was something that I did that could have caused the damage as to avoid the same action in the future and was given a negative response from the customer service representative. The new machine, once arrived, preformed great with no problems and I went on my merry way using the mixer in the same fashion. I am now on my fourth mixer, and my 4th request to replace the machine. At this point I am to their "No Lemon Policy" in which they will buy back the machine or replace it a final time. Needless to say, I am going with the buy back.
I would also recommend not purchasing any extended service plan from them. I called last week to report to the extended warranty service that the machine was broken. I now find out that a)I didn't need the extended warranty due to the No Lemon policy that KitchenAid does not readily advertise and b)the customer service line you call to report the initial claim to can do nothing for you at the time. The fact that extended warranty does not have the prompt and hassle free service that their main customer service line has was beyond disappointing. The woman I spoke with at extended service gave me, 4 working days ago, that I would hear back from them with a "verdict" as to whether they would replace, fix or do nothing with my complaint in 2-3 business days. As it is the end of the day on the fourth and I still have not heard anything, I am extremely frustrated and disappointed. This is a machine that my family uses daily and is very inconvenient to be without, and to be without any contact from KitchenAid is even more frustrating.
