Kitchenaid Professional 600 Stand Mixer 6 quart, Nickel Pearl (Renewed)

I may have written a review before using this mixer. I am very pleased with this purchase!! No defects at all, and it works great!! It has definitely made mixing so much more fun. We purchased the sausage stuffer attachment and just had a blast making our own. It's very pretty and the red is just as the picture! I like the lift as it is easier to add ingredients and the 6 quarts is huge compared to what i was using before. The handle on the mixing bowl is very convenient for mixing and pouring. It cleans up easy! I did find a cover for it in the handmade section of Amazon that matched my kitchen. I had ordered a kitchen aid cover, but it was too small for the 6 quart. I'm not sure if kitchen aid makes a cover for this one as I was unable to find one that wasn't handmade. The purchase is so worth it!! We love it....

Trying to purchase a stand mixer during the pandemic was challenging. I, like many others, took up baking during quarantine. My husband asked if I wanted a mixer for Mother’s Day since I was doing it all by hand. After 3 failed attempts of getting it elsewhere, we did some homework and decided this was the best route since we wanted a 6qt with the lift vs the tilt. It arrived about a week after we ordered it. Some tears in the box during shipping but no damage at all. It’s beautiful and works like a dream! I have been able to do so much more since it wasn’t all by hand. Great product for the price.

I purchased this "renewed" mixer and have not had any issues with it. Kitchen aid is a wonderful, durable product.

OMG! I love my new mixer! I have never had a "real" mixer before and knew when I did eventually purchase one, I wanted a good one. I am seriously impressed! In the first week I used all three attachments. I made everything I could, just to use the machine - and it worked like a dream. I do wish the attachments were dishwasher-safe but that is not a deal breaker in the least. I love this mixer and will gladly hand wash the attachments in order to keep it forever.As a warning though: The first batch of bread dough I made turned a blackish color though. I had to google why that would happen and apparently Kitchenaid uses something on their mixing bowl in the polishing process that you sometimes cannot wash off with regular dishsoap and a cloth. We had to follow the Kitchaid instructions and make a baking soda paste to neutralize the bowl before using it. They said we could eat the bread made with the blackish dough, but I didn't really want to take the chances so we just tossed it out. After we neutralized it and rewashed it (and all the attachments), we have never had that problem again.

I'm in love with this machine. The color is a bit darker than I expected. I thought I was getting the "pearl" finish and it would look, well, more like a pearl. But it's definitely more of a stainless steel look, which I don't mind. It is virtually flawless. The only thing that I noticed is that the metal band that wraps around the top (that has the mixing speeds stamped into it) doesn't sit flush anymore (there is a tiny gap). I suppose it could be fixed with some super glue if I can muster the patience to stand there holding it down with my finger while the glue dries! :-)First thing I did was set it up, plug it in and turn it on. It rotates smoothly and without too much noise. It's definitely got an upgraded engine as compared to my first Artisan KitchenAid stand mixer. I have used it a couple times now for pies and meringues and it's just a beauty. So glad I upgraded and I'm so pleased with this refurbished product. Hands down, great buy!

The Kitchenaid Professional 600 Stand Mixer 6 quart, Empire Red (Renewed) arrived when promised and undamaged - it's packaged well. Product looked like new with the exception of two very small dings inside the bowl. Mine did come with a pretty substantial knob on the lift handle. Instructions are clear and concise. Product registration is easy- go to KitchenAid's website and "Service and Support" (the model and serial numbers are on the mail-in form) ... took about 3 minutes. There's also a lot of useful tips and tricks there and well worth a read, especially if you're like me and have never owned a KitchenAid stand mixer before.Pleased so far, it's a time saver and has made cooking fun again. Makes short work of mashed potatoes (no lumps!) and it's easy to clean afterwards. I chose this model because it fit under the upper cabinets and can be used there unlike the tilt head models, power (575 watts), and the refurbished price savings though you do lose six months of warranty. I left one star off as it's way too soon to tell about longevity but it seems quite substantial and well made.

At first when I saw the offer to purchase this as a refurbished item I had reservations . However, after reading the reviews as I'm sure most of you will. I decided to take the plunge due to the considerable savings. The item arrived on time and to my surprise it even had a knob on the handle, which I didn't expect because i was under the impression that the refurbished models didn't come with the knobs. This is per the description that Amazon gave for this model. When it arrived I unpacked it and set it up. The mixer looked new without any blemishes. The setup was pretty straightforward but putting the bowl on and off takes a little practice. I ran the appliance for five minutes on each setting to make sure it operated properly. (NOTE) the settings are numbered 0 - 10 but the switch operates by two's. So I ran it for 25 minutes. I even conducted the dime test to make sure the attachments were operating correctly. After all of that I turned it over to the wife. She then began to go on a mixing marathon preparing bread, dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, butter and whipped cream. Using the three attachments that were provided with the mixer without any problems.Not a bad deal and I am satisfied thus far. My advise is to do your homework and good luck

It's not that I don't like the mixer...I was able to buy one - brand new for same amount. I returned the refurbished one (unopened) according to instructions. I have yet to be reimbursed. Could be a very expensive change of heart.

All stainless steel. Even for KitchenAid, this is impressive stuff.

Fast shippingWorks very well as expected!

great machine! Works great.

electric motor made a horrible noise. finish was coming off the mixing attachments into the food ......not good
