Beater does not reach the bottom
Ive been holding off on buying a KitchenAid since a long time. I finally got this model and tried to bake a cake in it. I washed the stainless steel bowl by hand and ran it through the dishwasher before using it. It ruined my batter coz of some polishing residue on the bowl. After I cleaned it with baking soda, I tried again, the batter was not discolored this time but it just stuck to the bottom in a thin sheet. I adjusted the bowl clearance as specified to the max I could but I still can’t pass the dime test or get my batter to mix. This is just frustrating, I thought this was going to make baking easier not worse. Very disappointed with this product.

Highly disappointed
When I first saw this I had to have it. I already have an older model but loved the color, look and power of this one. It all looked good until I started using it. First, I found it a little difficult to handle the bowl because it's VERY heavy and because its glass you're always conscious of how you're handling it. The motor is very loud, sounds like a lawn mower and then there's the beater not scraping the bowl so haven't used it in a while. When I think of Kitchenaid, I think quality and dependability; about this product, I just think of disappointment. I hope they make this right, too much money to spend on a piece of decoration for the counter.

Beyond Disappointed!
I am a avid baker and was SO excited to have this. Then I started to use it. Like everyone else says if you're using a single recipe the Beaters don't even reach the bottom of the bowl. So I have only used this about 10 times. Then yesterday I used it, went to wash the glass bowl and it's cracked! I would be the first person to admit if I was negligent in handling the bowl. Believe me, I was not. Which is why with everything considered I wouldn't purchase another one and am SO happy that at least I still have my smaller one to help me finish up for Christmas. What a huge waste of money and a huge disappointment.

Not functional
Unfortunately, like all of the other reviews I have to agree that the attachments simply don't cover the whole depth of the bowl. I bought this to make large quantities of bread dough, and I am constantly having to stop the machine to scrape the bottom. The bowl just broke after having had this machine for a few years and I am happy about it because now I can just buy the traditional tilt head stand mixer. I would replace the bowl, however, I am not able to find just the bowl. I would have to purchase all of the attachments that came with my mixer, and that would simply be a waste of money. The reviews I have read about this particular mixer have been spot on-definitely would not recommend.

My hand mixer suits me better
My husband very sweetly bought me this top of the line mixer for Christmas last year, sadly it’s essentially useless to me as a single batcher. The blades do not reach the bottom of the bowl and it is beyond irritating - I find myself cursing the brand, I can’t find a scraper paddle for it, I wind up using my hand mixer and getting better results. If you’re not making double/triple batches and feeding a family of 7 or stocking a bakery display case, you’re fine with a smaller version. I prefer a tilt head model for access to the bowl also. it was a gift, otherwise (if I had the receipt) I would’ve traded it in after the first use.

Very dissapointed
I purchased this mixer to replaced my sunbeam Heritage mixer. The first one was returned due to a cosmetic defect (I wished I had try it first), now this one is a total dissapoinment. The mixer does not seem to reach the bottom of the bowl,it doesn't mix the bottom because the paddle is to short. I tried to make two different recipies and at first I thought it was my fault. That I probably have done something wrong. But I tried again to make a cheesecake , total disaster. I went online a read all the reviews about others having the same issue. I had always wanted to own a Kitchenaid mixer, I don't know if it's just this model or all styles are like this.

Waiting for replacement
I am unable to review my mixer at this time. I am waiting anxiously for the replacement. A part was missing to turn the attachments and when the replacement arrived it had damage to the head of the mixer due to shipping issue. It was returned and I am waiting for the replacement. I would love to review the mixer after it arrives and I have a chance to use it. I miss my 20 year old Kitchenaid stand mixer and was always pleased with its performance. Michael was the customer service representative who handled the return and was very nice. The return label came promptly. Hoping the replacement comes soon. Thank you!

Regret my purchase
Wanted this KitchenAid Pro 600 and finally got one for Christmas. The paddle and wire attachments do not fit the bowl. They are too small and have to constantly use a spatula to mix the ingredients. I've used this mixer only a couple of times and now it just sits on my counter because it doesn't work properly. All the money spent and it's useless. I wish I had read the reviews before my purchase.

Worst kitchen aid I’ve ever owned!
This mixer has never worked properly. Even with adjusting, the paddle never mixes the ingredients at the bottom of the bowl. And the glass bowl is AWFUL! It’s so heavy and unwieldy. It’s hard rom lift to empty the bowl and has developed cracks in the two years since I’ve owned it. It’s now unusable. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT purchase this overpriced machine.

Beautifully designed, but not made for heavy work
I bought this mixer about 18 months ago and I do a lot of baking! Kitchenaid has always had rave reviews and we used them in school, so of course I wanted the best! Unfortunately my mixers motor has burned out and I'm going to have to buy a new one, because there is only a one year warranty! I'm use to scraping the bowl! You should always scrap your bowl, so ingredients being on the bottom doesn't bother me! What bothers me is the amount of money I spent on this mixer! I was hoping to get at least a few years out of it! I'm so disappointed right now! I have orders to fill this week and now I'm looking for another mixer!
