With a 525-watt motor to handle bread doughs and thick cookie batters, this is KitchenAid's most powerful stand mixer, a professional-grade appliance with a heavy, rugged, all-metal construction (31.7 pounds) which prevents "counter walk" on the mixer's rubber feet. It has a 6-quart, polished stainless-steel bowl with an ergonomic handle and a two-piece pouring shield made of heavyweight plastic to provide a large chute for adding ingredients. Accompanying the mixer are a burnished flat beater, a burnished dough hook, and a big wire whip. On the front of the powerhead is a hinged cover for the hub to which KitchenAid's many mixer accessories attach.

The God of mixers

Pros: Endless power, 1st rate assembly quality, wide array of accessories, KitchenAid reputation, looks awesome.
Cons: Price, but I think you get what you paid for.
The Bottom Line:
The biggest, baddest mixer on Earth. Go get yourself one today.
Just stop right there for a second. Take a long, hard look at your old mixer that smells funny every time you beat two eggs with a cup of sugar. Now, head to your favorite store, online or not, and treat yourself to one of these. This appliance is way beyond just a mixer. If you want just a mixer, you can get by with something way less expensive and powerful. But to me, life is just too short, you know what I mean? First thing you will notice about it is the assembly quality. Paint finish rivals that of luxury sedans. When they say "All metal construction" they mean it. This thing was not meant to be moved much. I saw a few people stating in their reviews that "it's too heavy to put in the cabinet" Why??? It's a work of art, leave it out on your countertop, be the envy of your friends, make them ask questions. After everybody is done lecturing you about spending almost $400 on a mixer, show them how perfectly it beats cookie dough into a nice, firm ball. Then ask them to do it with their mixer. That's what I thought.
No, not everybody needs one this big and powerful, but if you enjoy cooking and entertaining your guests, you must get one of these. I am yet to find a task that it can't handle.
Yes, it is a little loud, and it is very heavy, but it's an American-built piece of power equipment, what did you expect? And yes, most people's car payments are less than the price of this mixer, but I think you get what you pay for, especially if you consider the fact that this will probably be the last mixer you will ever buy. I was considering Epicurian (because of available colors), but went with Professional, because I like that extra little power. I bought mine from www.goodmans.net for $339 plus shipping. Man, I love this mixer!!!
