KitchenAid Pro 600 Stand Mixer Review

The KitchenAid Pro 600 is the bowl-lift big brother of the Artisan. The 575-watt motor handles triple batches of bread dough and double batches of cookie dough without bogging down. The 6-quart stainless steel bowl accommodates up to 14 cups of flour – enough for 8 loaves of bread or 13 dozen cookies in one go.

The bowl-lift design provides greater stability than tilt-head models when mixing heavy dough. All-metal gears ensure decades of reliable use. Like the Artisan, it accepts the full range of KitchenAid attachments, turning it into a pasta maker, meat grinder, or spiralizer.

At $550, it’s $100 more than the Artisan, but the extra capacity and power are worth it if you bake in large quantities or make bread regularly. The Pro 600 is a professional-grade tool that belongs in serious home kitchens.
