Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KP26M1XMR Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Meringue
Customer Review: New KitchenAid in 25 years
Summary: 4 Stars
We wanted a larger bowl and dediced to finally purchase a new KitchenAid after 25 years. The bowl is quite a bit larger, but much lighter. The machine itself weighs half the weight of our old one. The knob to turn on is cheap and feels flimsy. It smells like burnt rubber when it is running, this is after having it for a month over the holidays. The beaters are also much lighter in weight and we just hope that all the cutbacks on materials will hold up for 25 years, like our first one. We did keep the old one for just in case! I use it at least 2-3 times a week, so it has gotten quite a workout. We do use all the blades, especially the paddle. A double recipe of cookies fits rather nicely in the bowl, which barely fit in our prior machine. To be continued...Customer Review: Great Mixer-Great Price

My wife has wanted a new KitchenAid mixer for some time and she recently bought an Artisan model as a bridal shower gift for our daughter. I soon realized I'd better get one for my wife too if I wanted to preserve my marital bliss. We shopped around and decided on the KP26M1XMR because it had a larger capacity, more powerful motor and all metal gears. I looked everywhere for the best price (even eBay) and found a great special deal on Amazon.com that was even less than the price on refurbished models and about the same price as the less powerful Artisan model. My wife loves the mixer and she can mix large batches quite easily. It is a heavy mixer but that's OK because she gets a good workout lifting it into and out of the kitchen cabinet.Customer Review: Does all the work for me...

So I had been using my grandmothers old Sunbeam stand mixer. You know, the type where you had to spin the bowl and constantly push down the dough with your spatula. Enter the KitchenAid 600. This machine has totally changed the way I bake. I was actually a little upset at first because I felt that I wasn't really cooking if I wasn't constantly feeding dough to the dough hook. But having my hands free (and a paddle that gets the dough off the sides) allows me to really play with the ingredients. Where I was baking three or four times a month, now I'm baking a few times a week just so I can use this machine. Its well made, holds up to whatever I make it do, is attractive and makes baking more fun than it already is.Customer Review: Handy and Hands Free!!!

This Kitchen-Aid 6-quart Stand Mixer has been just what I've been looking for in a stand mixer. It will speed up your baking/cooking time while giving you a hands free experience in order do multiple tasks in the kitchen while your mixer does your dirty work. From pizza dough to bread to Xmas cookies to sauces, I highly recommend this quality mixer...NO kitchen should be without one!

Customer Review: it didnt work out of the box
Summary: 1 Stars
I just got home and found my new kitchen aid mixer waiting for me. I took it out of the box and plugged it in and it ran for 5 seconds and cut off. It does this each time I try to use it. I contacted customer service and was told the unit was old and out of warranty. It is not supposed to be a refurbished mixer.( I just ordered it from amazon)
I must fax them a copy of the shipping invoice before they send me a new machine. My initial impression is bad product not worth the high cost but good customer service. The mixer was much louder than expected and the fit and finish of the mixer and accessories doesn't match what I have seen in stores. I'll repost when I get my new mixer.
