KitchenAid Professional 600 KP26M1X

“As an owner of this model, I appreciate this video, because it ahowed me that, with just some basic knowledge of how things work and the effort to use that knowledge, this can be repaired, without engaging an "expert repair professional".”

“Many of these machines have a nylon gear designed to fail first.”

“I had a Kitchenaid Professional 600. I like to bake bread. I found while making dough that the bowl would flex a bit and move a little while the machine worked with dough. One day, I stripped the gears in that machine, and when I took the cover off to see what I could do, I noticed that part of the transmission housing in the kitchenaid was made of plastic.”

“This was an estate sale with the house up for sale as well. I don't think they knew what they had or its value.”

“I was able to replace the planetary in mine and regrease my Kitchenaid thanks to your very detailed videos.”

“I have this exact same machine, color and broken gears and everything.”

“the motor didn’t work, after following your instructions it’s working like a champ now”

“its amazing how simple and durable these things are.”

“Years ago I bought one and returned it because it was so difficult to put the bowl on.”

“it cannot do doughs which is why I have a kitchenaid to begin with”

“this was so helpful in getting my mixer back up and running!”

“the spiral hook (dough hook), it did not touch the bottom of the bowl, so the dough didn't move”

“At home I have a Kitchenaid Pro 600. Its a great little mixer but like pretty much every kitchenaid, it is not made for bread at all.”

“Found a 6QT mixer in a plastic bag sitting on a tree bend a few blocks away, ordered the parts from Mr. Mixer and got them the next week and repaired it all the way”

“I've had mine for 10 years, working in bread and dough making. I had to replace the gears once, because of too many heavy breads, but the replacement parts for these are easy to get and easy to install yourself.”

“The old machine was made much sturdier than the new models. The bowl is durable but I do worry about the motor.”

“I thought my wife would love the Pro 600...but I ended up hating it. We make pizza dough a lot, and although this is the most powerful unit they make, I found out that due to a design flaw, the planetary falls out of the head.”

“It's got a decent 590W 1HP motor on it that can actually drive attachments and knead tough dough.”

“The one I got is Professional 600. Not sure what all the small differences are, really. I know there's mentions on here about it not working to knead dough, but that hasn't been the case for me. Some of the dough that gets really thick sometimes needs some help, but it works for me.”

“The motor in ours burnt out and it wasn't covered by warranty anymore. I bought a replacement motor for $100 and installed it myself. There were only nine screws I had to take out and eight of them were the exact same screw. They are dead simple to fix.”

“I brought it to work because our KitchenAid whisk broke (kitchen aid pro 600 I think is our model). Comparing the two models there are some pros/cons but I think the Kenwood is a far superior machine both in quality but also in ease of use.”

“I gave my little sister the one-year old Kitchenaid professional 600 because I couldn't stand it.”

“He just bought the thing out of the blue and shipped it to me (Pro 600 in white). I absolutely love it and use it as often as I can.”

“it just broke, but fortunately a replaceable part. But until it broke it was great.”
