Customer Review: Where do start?
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok here it goes...My mom (a small time baker) has been using the base model (tilt-head) mixer for 15 years. She has made over 2,000 cakes and it is still beating strong! I decided to get my own but upgrade to the 600-series. So excited like a kid on Christmas I used it last night for the first time. I now have my own small time baking business so i am making cakes one after the next. Time is everything for me.
Negative Reasons:
1. Without a tilt-head you need to remove the paddle to take the bowl out! Too timely for me. And it is nice to lift the head and let the paddle drip back in the bowl. Cant do this with a bowl-lift feature.
2. Putting the bowl back on you must check that the bowl is sitting correctly on the hinges. again, to much time.
WITH the Tilt-head, the bowl comes off and you can throw it back in very easily.
3. When turned on, the motor makes a very annoying screechy sounding humm. It annoyed me after about 45 seconds. Could you imagine if i did a whole day of baking with it? A high-pitched scratchy sound! The old model had a regular hum, nice!
4. When making identical cakes using the new mixer and my trusty old one; guess which one was better? Yep, the base model K90 mixer. The 600-series did not whip my eggs nearly as fast when set on the same speed.
5. After cakes, i moved on to mixing dough for homemade Gnocchi's. Instructions say to not go above speed #2 with the dough hook. I stayed on the stir level and the motor smelled like it was about to explode. It was struggling bad! Not to mention the machine heated up- hot to the touch.
6. You need to adjust it so the bowl and the paddle attachment are touching. Right from the box, they sit about 1/2 inch apart which will not mix bottom ingredients.
Positives:
1. the color red was pretty
2. The bigger bowl was nice. But doubt if filled to capacity it would hold up. I only had it filled half way.
I am very disappointed! Mostly because the motor overheated on the first day. This thing wasn't cheap either. My old K90 series was better all the way around. I know the tilt head is my preference but there is no excuse for the engine to go after making one batch of gnocchi's.
I am returning this one and giving the 90th anniversary edition a go. After calling KitchenAid to report the issue the operator was very condescending and rude and suggested that I only use KitchenAid approved recipes when making anything. What??!! The old mixers were quality, the newer ones are definitely not the same and the customer service STINKS!
