KitchenAid Professional 6-Quart Stand Mixer (Red)

Hey Massdrop Community. I'm a Kitchenaid veteran who knows a thing or two on these mixers. Here's some answers to FAQ's I've seen in the discussion on these drops: Is this a good price? - Yes! In fact, this is the best price you'll see going forward. Tarriff's, raw material (zinc) increases, etc. means these machines are only going to cost more in the future. No, it's not going to get cheaper during the holidays. Source: worked with Kitchenaid for 16 years. Is this a Pro 600? - Yes and no. This machine is identical to the Pro 600 (KP26M1X) with the exception of the pouring shield ($20), a rubber grommet on the bowl lift lever, and the metal band around the top where the model name is. ALL of the internals are identical. Also, it only is produced in Empire Red, Onyx Black, and Silver (no longer made in White). Finally, the Pro 600 is at least $349.99 during promo's and $399.99 outside of that. - See more at this site where they compare the two. Is this unit covered by Warranty? - Yes, you usually don't even need your proof of purchase (receipt). All you need is the serial number on the unit. Which attachments work on this unit? - Referring to all the attachments that Kitchenaid makes (spiralizer, meat grinder, food processor, etc). Any attachment that fits the Pro 600 works on this unit (basically, all of them). Which attachments come with this unit? - Nylon coated flat beater and dough hook, burnished aluminum wire whip. Nylon is dishwasher safe, try and keep the aluminum from sitting with water on it or it may corrode over time. Will this make bread and hold up to rigorous use? - Yes. Take America's Test Kitchen's word for it. They tested the 4.5qt, 6qt, and 7qt. against all the key competitors. - Personally, I've had this model for years and worked the hell out of it. It always held up. Think you'll absolutely destroy it? Buy an extended warranty from Upsie.com or research mixers specific to bread (like the Ankarsrum); however, the Kitchenaid is a much more versatile machine. You'll get more practical use out of the Kitchenaid than any other mixer. Will this fit under your cabinets? - Probably not, but it's a beautiful machine. Keep it on the counter as an ornament and remind yourself to use it. Voltage? - It's 110V, for domestic use in the USA. Not compatible with 220V without an adapter -- and at your own risk. Ship to Canada? - Nope, sorry. Made in the USA? - Yes, in Greeneville Ohio. I'm sure some parts come from overseas, but the vast majority of Kitchenaid product is made domestically.

numonixAll of the pizza from February on was made with this mixer. I also use it to make my ice cream base, cheesecake batter, whipped cream, of course ... I haven't done as much as I would like but I eat a lot of ice cream and pizza and have the ass to show for it.
