I literally just ordered a 600 today and now I hear how bad the noise is. I will live with it though because I got it cheap.

I retired from Hobart Corp about 14 years ago and have worked on a ton of the K45 and K5 mixers. When Hobart first switched the Kitchenaid mixer motors to a solidstate controls the motor noise doubled. Older mixers before the K5SS models were very quiet mixers. I even qot to work on an old K3 mixer that the body was all chromed and it was a beautiful. Good video.

Very interesting. Do you have any idea why the new KA mixers have a clicking sound? KA even addresses it on their website and it seems they think it's OK. But the older machines don't click like that. I have the Imperial Grey Proline mixer on the left of the video, with no unusual noise. Does the clicking for the newer models have anything to do with KA having removed the spring & washer from the attachment shaft? Thank you.

can you shed any light on what was before solid state and if its possible to convert the modern ones to that set up? would it be a huge piece of work? assume solid state was a cost inspired decision , esp if it increased the noise. I have a 5KPM5 I picked up second hand and Im planning on refurbing soon. thanks!

Sashine B. Before 2016 all tiltheads have springs and washers attached and bowl lift models normally dont have springs and washers. And then 2016 came and kitchenaid no longer put springs and washer and all their stand mixer because they find those irrelevant and the clicking noise does not bug the motor at least thats what ive heard from them, but a lot of customers are upset when they heard that clicking noise and ending up returning it.

Hey mate what the best one around 20L for house power

Before I say anything else, let me just say - WOW. Finally, someone has clearly, and accurately, explained the differences between these models of KA machines. No guessing, no anecdotal nonsense, no 'touchy-feely' self-rationalization as to purchase justification, etc., etc. Just good solid facts. I only wish those many folks [who legitimately] have model-difference questions would come here - and pay attention - I think all will be answered. As for myself, after originally owning a 5-quart bowl-lift mixer, the same vintage as yours, and used it for about 18 years with no issues, moved-on to a 6-quart "Professional 6" mixer for added capacity. But 16 months later I decided to upgrade once again to the 7-quart Proline mixer, not only for the additional capacity, but to avoid the many issues [some folks seem to experience] with the Pro 6/Professional 6 mixers. So, my history is similar to yours, but instead of 'collecting them' (I'm not certain how I avoided that one...) I passed-on my first two mixers to some deserving, loving homes. The decision to ultimately go with the 7-quart mixer not only involved presumed greater reliability, and the added capacity, BUT the ability to use ALL stainless steel attachments: Flat Beater; Dough Hook; and Elliptical Wire Whip (provided as standard) - which are available for the 7-quart mixer - and all three come standard on the 8-quart capacity models. I'd like to again emphasize, in one place, some important points you covered in your talk... As you surmised - the 6-quart; 7-quart; & 8-quart bowl-lift stand mixers ALL have the same profile, case size (w/*minor* design variations to accommodate specific features), bowl support; bowl support movement; distance from bowl support to bottom of the beater shaft in both upper & lower positions. In other words - as long as a specific bowl size was properly-paired with its designed attachment(s), any of the bowl/attachment-pairs will work on ANY of these machines. (Understanding, of course, using an 8-quart bowl/attachment on a Pro/Professional 600, fer instance, and loading the bowl to capacity will not magically have the performance of the 1.3 HP motor of either the 7 or 8 quart models, and will make quick work of damaging the undersized 6-quart motor/transmission if the mixer is straining). The diameter of the bowls for these three models are identical - the only difference being the height - to accommodate their respective rated capacities. Put another way - if one presently owns a 6-quart capacity bowl lift mixer, and has few, if any, issues with, say, beating a single or two egg whites - the performance with be identical using either the 7 or 8-quart mixer. Some other food for thought when considering a model with a glass bowl. Sure, they look cool, and have fairly legible gradations boldly embossed into the glass, but even empty, these bowls weigh over 6#. Compare that to around 3# for a stainless steel bowl. That unwanted additional weight can become rather burdensome when least expected. So unless you plan on shooting videos and producing your own cooking show where a glass bowl offers a nice 'touch' - think twice. Also, the glass bowls designed for bowl-lift mixers incorporate a stainless steel support band encircling the bowl, containing the attachment points that mate with the locating pins of the bowl support. That band prevents these glass bowls from being placed in a microwave oven - perhaps the only real advantage of a glass bowl. Another drawback - these glass bowls require F-series beaters and whisks and that series has a bit more limited support in terms of options. KA does make an all-stainless steel wire whip for their 6-quart, S/S bowl-lift mixers, which also has additional tines for quicker whipping times. Again, Zachary, thanks for this most-informative tour of these bowl-lift KA mixers.

One tip I always tell a young new bride, "Don't get Black colour, you will be continuously dusting flour and dust off. I was in a store one day and they were putting these stand mixers on sale for fabulous price. I had never heard of a Morphy Richards mixer. I hesitated and read everything I could find. Out of Scotland. It looked something like the cuisinart does today. I bought it and have never looked back. At that is 14-15 yrs ago. Very good quality. The front circle comes off but it doesn't hold KA appliances. This mixer also has a blender attachment with glass jug. So many people say, I never heard of Morphy Richards. I know they carry other appliances fusion however not sold in Canada.

Thank you Zack. This was just what I need to know. Your comments about the loudness of the Pro 600 let me know that I need to get the 7 quart model. The loudness and the capacity to double my bread recipe are the two most important factors for me.

Awesome comparison and explanation of the 3 KitchenAid bowl lift stand mixers. The KitchenAid KSM7586PSR 7-Quart Pro Line Stand Mixer is actually America's Test Kitchen winner when they tested multiple stand mixers ranging in price from a couple hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars. Your description of each mixer's motor, gears, bowl, speed, torque, etc. really helps to understand the price differences.

Thank you for sharing your insight and knowledge!! This is one of the best comparison video's I've seen in a long time. I am so glad I returned that 6qt model and got the 7qt instead. Thanks again. Well done!!

Excellent information! Have a K45ss and simply love it. Been running over20 years flawlessly.

My KitchenAid 5K5SS already 20 years and still working great. Honestly I've never thought it would last this long, but it did. Happy that you clearly described my machine younger siblings. I hope newer machine can last as long too. Glad I bought this machine then. Awesome video🥰

Good video. I have the KMS5. I have used it for 25 years never had a problem. The only thing I didn't like about it was bowl was too small. I used to make 4 & 5 loaves of bread at a time when the family was home. Now it's perfect for the two of us. Mixer still going strong. Thanks for sharing your info.

Appreciate your effort in detailing these lift bowl wonders! Answered my questions abt Proline 7! Thanks!

Not flashy, not in-yo-face, not super cut, not multi-takes, and not sponsored by anyone. Just simply informative with honest opinions and personal viewpoints - I am glad I clicked on this and sat all the way through. Based on this review, I canceled my Pro 600 order and went with a Pro Line 7. Running all the machines for noise comparison was great. Thanks Zach!

I’m a little late to the party but thought the information you gave was great. All my questions answered in one video. Thanks man!

great video content, a deep understand of the proline mixers. just ordered Proline 7 Quart. pretty excited to have it. thank you!!

Thanks very much for a comprehensive presentation of these three Kitchenaid stand mixers including the information of their internal workings. I really like the quiet sound of that sliver 7 qt mixer, I could use that bowl as a bomb shelter. I bought my old white Kitchen aid Heavy Duty 5 qt used last year at a pretty good price. It makes the same noise as the gray one you introduced first so I'm glad I bought it. It's always good to hear someone knowledgable share information that we would otherwise never know. Best wishes from Ohio.

Just the video I was looking for! Thanks Zach! I really was trying to see the inner workings and what would hold up the best & this explained it so well. Knowing the inner workings on the machine & that one could possibly work on it themselves is incredible knowledge! Thanks again!

I got a KitchenAid 5QT mixer at a yard sale and I was looking up info on it when I came across your video. You are very knowledgeable on these machines and thank you for sharing that knowledge.

Would you make a similar video on the Artisan series, including a comparison of Artisan vs Pro, please?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of KA mixers. I just got a KA mini unaware of the different noise levels between models. Knowing that the mini is quieter is a bonus. I'm single, retired, and don't make bread, so I knew the mini would be perfect for me.

I am about to purchase my first kitchenaid, I cannot thank you enough for this informative and expert review! 🤩

That second one sounds like a UFO. I have a kitchen aid mixer that my husband bought for me Christmas of 1999. I'm still using it in 2023. I worked in bakeries for 16 years decorating cakes and they all had Hobart stand mixers. They are incredible too. Thank you for your insight regarding these machines.

Such a pleasant voice. Great video 👍🏼

Thank you for this review, I will be upgrading my tool from handheld mixer to stand mixer. Previously, I decided to go for 4.8 Artisan but from this video, I will be going to pick 7 qt. 1.3 HP.

Thank you so much , I've had a kitchen aid KSM90, 300 watt for almost 30 years but I learned more from this video than I ever knew...you have a big future in videos, 'can't believe this is your first one!

This video helped solidify my decision to go with the 700. Great info!

I’m feeling good about buying my Kitchenaid mixer after watching this video. It allows for up to 10 cups of whole wheat flour in bread making and that makes 4 loaves at one time. It handles it with grace and dignity. I also love the fact that it quietly hums when it works. This is my third Kitchenaid mixer and I think I’ve finally got what I need. Thanks for the interesting video from the perspective of someone who knows the guts of these machines!

Picking a mixer is overwhelming because it's an investment. This is the most informative video I've watched. Loved it!

Not only is this video super informative but it's just really interesting. Thanks for putting this together.

Dove into the search on model Comparison because my wife wants one and as a mechanic by trade this was the most in depth comparison I’ve seen on them and EXACTLY the kind of stuff I wanted to know. Not just the attachments, sizes and capacities. THANK YOU.

I finally bought a model 7 after years of putting up with Sunbeam and China machines. I had lusted after a Kitchenaid for years. Thanx for a lucid, detailed evenhanded review.

Thank You for taking the time to create and share this wonderfully informational and helpful video with us all ❤️.

Good video. I am saving up for a nice mixer and your knowledge is so helpful. Please make more.

Thanks to this video, we went from looking to buy the Pro 600 to buying the Pro Line 7 Qt. Thanks a lot for such an insightful review.

Hi Zack, thank you so much for this video. I have been researching for the past few days I own an artisan 5 quart that just doesn’t cut it. I was going to purchase the 6 quart professional series at Costco it is $249 right now in comparison to roughly $500 for the 7 quart pro line but it looks like I will be getting what I paid for with the pro line you really helped me. This video was very informative.keep up the good work thanks again, Maria

Thanks for the great information on the differences on the models ! I still have my KSM 25 5 qt and it’s a work house

I just picked up a KSM5 mixer at an auction and I'm in the process of cleaning it up. I can't wait to use this one as it's the first I've had of this line versus my other tilt head KitchenAid mixers. Thanks for the informative video!

Thank you for "validating" the fact that I was completely surprised and put off by the incredible noise of the Pro 600 - purchased it from Costco. It was delivered today and it's going right back. Whoever product tested these did not do so in a normal residential kitchen. Wow. Kudos to you for making such an informative video. thank you very much.

I have just watched your (2018) video presentation of the 3 models, and I have to say that you have done an excellent job of the comparison, it was the best of several related videos that I watched. As I'm in Australia, I've obviously had to do some weight/power conversions, but overall it was an extremely informative presentation without being too technical. Keep up the excellent work, well done.!! Cheers - Russell

Fantastic and thorough in detail review. Thank you!

I certainly appreciate this professionally made video!! Great job!! I bought a Cobalt Blue Tilt Head Stand Mixer off my sister years ago and it is amazing!!! I am so reluctant to buy a new one to enable me to do much larger batch mixing capacity. I have NEVER had an issue with my mixer and don't want to part with it. So, this has been extremely helpful if I go in the direction of buying a new one. You would appreciate mine as it is a beast. Thanks again Zach!

Just ordered my 7Qt after watching this video. Great video!

Zach, great video. Enjoyed it very much :)

Awesome video and you’re so easy to listen to with that pleasant voice.

Great presentation and so helpful when shopping for a new Kitchenaid. Thank you so much!

Very helpful, Zachary. You've assisted me on my next purchase. Kind regards, Darryl

Fantastic video! It answered several questions I was wondering about. Thank you!

Great video Zachary, I still have the K5SS my dad bought for my mom in the mid 80's after her Sunbeam Mixmaster died after yrs of holiday baking

Dude, you're great at these videos. Thanks for a very informative video. Really helped me with my X-mas gift decision.

Zac, thank you for putting this video out. I am researching the stand mixers because it really is difficult to decide which model is best. The places they are sold don't offer much information.

Thank you, I didn't know all these differences in the models, it will help me choose.

i have no idea what you were explaining --- BUT --- you made it so interesting ---- your presentation captured my attention --- thank you

Thank you. Awesome review. I love that you refurbish them.

Very nicely done. It was interesting to learn of the differences between the machines. I am the (original) owner of a 34 year old K45 with 250 watts. I make bread, cakes, cookies, everything in between and it's never missed a beat. I do have that grease discoloration around the front, was interesting to learn about that. I bought the tilt head glass bowl when they brought them back and really like it. I think it's a bit wider at the top and easier to work with adding ingredients.

This is an excellent review. Thank you. I love the level of detail. Amazing.

So glad I watched. Now I love my old K5 mixer even more! Thanks.

Thank you, Zack! Just the info I needed to help make a purchase decision. Your comment about relative wattage was enlightening, also. Who would have thunk 325 watts might do a better kneading job than 575! I also believe the noise issue with the 600 is a killer - I've seen quite a few comments about this problem and you amply demonstrated it. As for the accessories, what were these marketing dolts thinking when substituting burnished metal that needs to be hand washed for what used to be stainless steel. Just incredibly stupid decisions. But in any event congratulations on your first video, it sets a high standard for what product reviews should look like.

Thank you Zach, for this importent info. I'm on the brink of replacing my 5ksm150 standing mixer and your info is right on time! In the Netherlands, it is rather difficult to find a shop, that sells anything else than the 5-series, but i'm going to move heaven and earth, to find a 500 pro ore the right mixer from the 7qt serie. Again; thanks for the info! And furthermore, i keep you site in my adressbook for help when there are problems!😉 Keep up the good works!👍😘

Thank you so much for making this video, Zach. It's so helpful.

Thanks Zach, this is a great video. I learned a lot and I appreciate you putting it together.

Thank you for this video, I was not sure on what model to buy for my dougthers birthday. Now I know exactly what I need to buy, I am going with the KS5SS because I now I know I can buy and replace any part myself Great job.👍You have a new suscriber.

Thanks for this video. Really gave me a sense of which model(s) I might want without any heavy selling. Now looking for a DC motor model, preferably refurbished for lower price.

14:21 - That's the face an expert makes when they know what they are talking about.

Very detailed, Zach. I'm an amateur collector who will probably go buy another Kitchenaid mixer that needs help this weekend now that I know more about it!

Zac, Very nice vid. As a DIY person I have fixed a quite a few machines and currently am looking for a 7-8 qrt size mixer for bread dough. You provided some quality comments. Cheers and thanks.

Great, thanks for info. We have an older K5A and love it. Starting a refurb job, wish me luck!

This was an excellent video! Very informative. Thank you!

Very helpful, valuable video! Many thanks to you for making it and sharing it with us!

Great Video Zack, I really appreciate you taking the time to record it. I am doing research to purchase a heavy duty stand mixer to make keto bread for my husband. Your video is one of the best I have seen. Now, I need to find the KSM5, Our keto bread will be made in small batches with almond flour and psyllium powder, so I believe after your explanation the KSM5 will get the job done.

Great video!! Glad I discovered you because I have a 2018 pro 600 model that fails the dime test. Brand new machine. This is related to the bowl height as you probably know but the paddle attachment doesn’t touch the dime at all. I have rotated the adjustment screw from all the way left to all the way right with no discernible difference. I haven’t had any luck with the kitchenaid people and so hopefully you can shed some light on what I need to do. Thank you again. Keep up the awesome videos!

Thank you so much. I’m new to the kitchenaid mixers and this really helped and informed my decision of which to buy.

Thanks 😊 I have the professional 550 HD and I need to start using it. I bought a second-hand off a friend when he was moving.

Thank you Zack. I wish I had seen a video like this video before I purchased. I bought the pro 600 about 10 years ago. I haven’t had any trouble but I don’t use it daily. If I were to buy today I would purchase a different model.

AMAZING video. I’m wowed! I learned so much. I would love to see repair videos. I’ll have to comb through your channel later and see if you have any. Just wanted to say you are inspiring. 😃

I have a KSM circa 1976. Still going strong. I was considering an upgrade to the Pro600, but after watching this, I think I’ll stick with the tried and true.

Very thorough review, thank you very much!

Excellent, easily the best Kitchenaid video out there !

Appreciate your in depth knowledge as I was looking to buy a used one (KitchenAid) but had no idea of what to look for, I do now!!! Thanks again Zachary, subscribed too!

Very well done comparison on models from "yesterday to today!" I have both, the older K5 machines (though, mine are even older, e.g. K5-A Hobart) AND the newer 6 quart and 7 quart Kitchenaid models. I completely agree with you Zach! Those older machines are VERY well built and VERY fixable.

Wow, what a wealth if information. Thank you so much, Zach. I actually had a K5, purchased in the ‘70’s and I gave it away because it leaked a bit of oil😩 Now I want it back!!

Thank you for these long format videos.

A great overview, thank you. Thanks especially for the tip about motor noise and how, for me anyway, the DC motor will be the best choice.

What a great video you really cleared up a lot of things for me on what I should do with my NOISY Pro 600. The noise is in the motor and not the gearing. You covered all mixers well and my wife has a KM5 that is at least 40 years old and the only thing that was done was added brushes. SO, I was geared {bad pun} to fix the gears on my mixer and now I will be looking to buy one of the old KM5 or 70qt. Thanks for the greatest and informative videos..

You should have purchased an older made by hobart mixer, it would have given you decades of service. Made in China parts are not the same as made by hobart in America. I hope you still get years of service from your new mixer. Happy cooking and baking.

Thanks for the comparison. I'm about to receive a 600 series 590 watt KitchenAid and will compare the noise/performance to my 20 year-old Artisan mixer. The DC model is much like the one my mom has, which is at least 35 years old and still going strong.

Great video. You seem like a natural at this.

Great video. I learned a lot! Thank you so much!!

wow I just learned alot from you, thanks. My husband is on his way home with a Professional Series 6 from Costco and I'm scared to turn it on, lol.

Curious, if I’m grinding meat, will a 275 watt machine handle that ok?

An excellent presentation from someone who knows his equipment inside and out. If the newer bowl-lift models start to bend with using attachments, it is nothing when compared to the permanent downward bend our tilt-head Kichenaid mixer now has! We used it to peel apples with the appropriate attachment, but failed to notice 'the bend' until it was too late. I checked the internet and Kitchenaid website for any information on fixing this to no avail. Kitchenaid should issue a warning that the use of some attachments can result in the permanent loss of using the mixing bowl because the permanent bend causes the beaters to be too low to be adjusted through the adjustment mechanism. Anyway, thanks for providing direction for my next purchase (and it won't be a tilt head model!)
