I continue to really like this mixer. It's gotten a little less quiet, but is still "quiet' for a stand-mixer of this size and power. Stand-mixers in general are not quiet appliances, so expecting one which literally makes very little noise is not realistic. I am impressed by the efficiency and power of the bread hook. My ciabatta has improved greatly since switched to this machine.
I do want to repeat my warning: This is not a machine you should allow children to use. If I had young children, I would not have one in my kitchen, except under lock and key. I was a kid once, so I remember trying things out even when my parents told me absolutely not to do so. The welts have long faded from the several spankings I got after I absolutely did so. In careless or unwitting hands, this is a dangerous piece of kitchen equipment. You wouldn't let your kids play with good kitchen knives or a food processor, so just add this to the list of NOT FOR KIDS.
Original comments:
This is in-between a commercial model and the usual stand-mixers I've used. It's not for use by children or careless teens. It's for serous cooks. There are some things about it which could present minor safety issues if you're not paying attention - such as not turning off the mixer before you lower the bowl. To repeat: the motor does not turn off when you lower the bowl. That could cause the beater to catch the splash-guard and break it. It could also splatter batter outside the bowl. However, being able to raise and lower the bowl is something that I find extremely useful, and would be disappointed if there were a switch incorporated into the stand mechanism.
I broke the dough hook on my Kenmore 800 Watt 5-quart mixer, and the thing is so old now (15 years), I can't find a replacement hook for it. So I splurged on a new KitchenAid 6-quart Bowl Pro 600 model (a retail "professional" model) for about the same price I paid for the Kenmore 15 years ago. So far, it's been a pleasure. Everything has small tolerances, so that the beater and Whisk come close to the bowl. The bread-hook is exactly like the ones I've seen on commercial models. The mixer is relatively quiet compared to the Kenmore. (As it aged, I started wearing ear-plugs when using it. If I keep it, I will look for new gears to install in it.)
The KitchenAid has a slow-start protocol built in, so that when you turn it on (by advancing the speed lever - there is no on/off switch) it doesn't sent a puff of flour in the air or splash liquid out (unless you go immediately to high). The Kenmore I had apparently was engineer with a fast-start; I resorted to starting the Kenmore with the beaters up and then lowering them into the bowl when the mixer had gone to it's appropriate speed. Still, if I had a lot of flour in the bowl of the KitchenAid, I'd start with the bowl lowered, and slowly ight the bowl to reduce splatter, etc.
I like it because it's the closest I've seen to a real commercial mixer. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is used in commercial kitchens for smaller jobs. I have just begun to use it, so I don't know how it will wear. If it develops problems from early wear, I'll be back to report on them.
Well....
Arrived ok and I admired it on arrival day, all day and told my entire neighborhood that I just received this long desired stand mixer.
Day 2; I tried an easy, light dough mix cake recipe in the morning and all went just well. Late afternoon, I decided to Tru a bread dough mix.
Letting the machine rin on speed 2 fir 5 minutes, as the recipe suggested, I noticed a strange, shirt 'screatch' coming from the machine, now and then.
First, I thought it was the dough hook, somehow hitting the metal bowl, but I couldn't see it doing so.
The dough did get finished. The 'screatch' did happen randomly.
Day 3: loved how easy it now was to knead dough, I tried another bread dough.
Speed set 2 for like 2 minutes, then up to speed 4 for most 2 minutes and back to speed 2 for 5 continuous minutes.
Well....that mysterious 'screatch' started happening again and this time, the dough hook suddenly stopped, with a strange click...as if it got stuck. There was nothing to get itcstuck in the bowl, though. I turned the machine off. Wiggled the dough hook lightly and turned the machine back on. It started mixing again, for about a minute and once again, the dough hook stopped with this strange click noise.
My adult son said it sounded like 'gear shifts' in a car.
I was very disappointed, because I couldn't finish my project but I realized that there must be something wrong with this machines motor or mechanism or whatever is inside (?). Sadly, I will have to return it and I am by now extremely disappointed, because for this price, I expected much better than a 'right away break down'. My old $80 stand mixer is still working after 8 years!!!!!!! Lousy resume for KitchenAid, who used to have such a fantastic reputation!
Will i take the same brand back? Nooooo. I am convinced that this has something to do with the whole out of country made and multiple sell outs by this company etc etc, so I will look for something US made and I am sure that I will find it for the price I just paid for this train wreck.
I know, I know. Others KitchenAid stand mixers work just super well....just not mine, lol. Sorry. First impressions are still the most important....
Sorry, KitchenAid

If you are going to spend all this money on a mixer, you need to get one that is going to work for you and hopefully this will help.
I started decades ago with the smallest one 4.5Qt and it worked great for many, many years. I used it all the time. And when I say all the time, I mean a minimum of 4 - 6 times a week. Total workhorse.
But then I decided to trade up and ended up going with the 6QT one from Costco which I thought was a regular KitchenAid. The Costco one is not as good. 4 years later it would arbitrarily halt in the middle of mixing and then finally it decided not to start at all. But the things I liked about KitchenAid were still there. The bowl is tall, the beater is fantastic, the dough is always mixed well.
In between the Costco KitchenAid Mixer and this one, I ended up with 2 additional mixers. The Cuisinart 5QT and a Bosch Mixer.
So here are my findings on the new KitchenAid Mixer
PROS -
It comes in nice colours so you get a half star.
The noise of the motor is quieter than the Cuisinart or the Bosch but it whines so you only get half a star.
It can handle a batch of oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies without bending the beater (the Cuisinart flunked that test first time around) so you get another star.
CONS
- the motor makes a whining noise that seems to bug the dog. I'm hoping she gets used to the noise eventually. The Costco one had a beefier sounding motor.
-this mixer gets HOT. And I mean hot to the point where it will turn off. So making more than a single batch of marshmallows which takes about 14 minutes on high? Not going to happen unless you can wait 30 minutes for the mixer to cool down. Within 6-7 minutes of mixing on high, this mixer is warm. 10 minutes and this mixer is really warm. 14 minutes and it was hot. This is not an issue for the Cuisinart (I can do three batches of marshmallows in a row before the motor starts to feel warm) or the Bosch (never feels hot). The instruction manual does admit the motor will quit when it gets too hot.
- this mixer has a shallower bowl now and actually flings butter out of the bowl at projectile speeds. I am still trying to understand why they make a mixer with such a shallow wide bowl. It doesn't mix as well as the Costco KitchenAid Mixer where the bowl was more tulip shaped and taller. Wider bowl means it takes longer to incorporate dough. And shallower bowl means more can escape.
I was trying to mix hard butter for a recipe and chunks of butter were flying out of the bowl and across the counter. This also happens when you add your dry ingredients. Dust cloud and chunks of dough fly out of the bowl.
- this mixer has a useless plastic pour shield that sits on top of the bowl to "protect" you from the flour dust up. But since it doesn't snap onto the bowl and just rests on top, if the mixer is on top speed, it shifts. And when you have chunks of butter flying around, the butter will knock the pour shield right off the bowl. Not to mention that there is a huge gap at the back where I suppose Kitchen Aid thought the back of the mixer would protect you from the flour or the butter but it does not. If you are going to provide a pouring shield then take some lessons from Cuisinart where it snaps into place. Or better yet, Bosch, because they completely cover the top of the bowl with 2 different pieces so you can take out one small part to pour in more ingredients and then completely enclose the entire bowl so you get no flour cloud at all.
- the new beater is no longer coated so the dough sticks to the beater and never mixes into the batter unless you take the time to continually scrape the beater. The older models were coated and this was not an issue. If you are not scraping down the beater often, you will find your cake or cupcake batter has blobs of the original butter/sugar mixture still intact.
-The bowl always has blobs of unmixed dough no matter how much you adjust the screw at the back to lift up the bowl. I also got one of the beaters that had the built in bowl scraper but that beater is plastic so there's no way that will stand up to anything heavy.
NOT GOOD or BAD:
-the wire whip is okay but does not fluff as well as the Cuisinart
- it does okay on bread but the Bosch is faster and you can do up to 8 loaves at a time.
RESULTS
If you are wanting to make cookies, this is your mixer.
If you want to make marshmallows, this mixer is not the one. Pick Cuisinart
If you want to make whip cream, this mixer is not the one. Pick Cuisinart
If you want to make big batches (double, quadruple) of anything, pick the Bosch
You want to limit the dust cloud and flying projectiles, this is not the one. Both Cuisinart and Bosch are going to keep your kitchen cleaner.
If you have pets, they may or may not enjoy the KitchenAid. The jury is still out on that one.
I really wanted to love this KitchenAid like I did my previous ones. And it breaks my heart how disappointing this model ended up. You can do better than this, KitchenAid.
I spoke to amazon CS, hoping for a refund and expecting some percentage off the total. I was offered $35 as a one-time promo, which I wasn't happy with. The next rep tried to decrease that to $20 (out of spite, I think). I escalated the call to a supervisor who clearly had their mind made up before talking to me. They did not provide a reasonable solution and gave me terrible customer service. When I asked where to review the customer service I received, the 'supposed supervisor' disconnected the chat without a word. That was the 3rd time a rep disconnected on me from the same issue.
Amazon customer service has really gone downhill in the past few years. It is not my fault I have received faulty items -- that's on you.
