Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KP26M1XER Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Empire Red
Customer Review: Awesome for Mixing Dough
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this 6-Quart KitchenAid Professional 600 series mixer in Empire Red (in addition we bought the cover as well) for the main purpose of mixing dough with the spiral dough utensil, which is included.
My family and I spent spent a considerable time comparing the Cuisinart 7-Quart Mixer Cuisinart SM-70BC 7-Quart 12-Speed Stand Mixer, Brushed Chrome
with the KitchenAid mixer before making our purchase.
The Cuisinart Mixer had a larger bowl, more wattage, sale price was less than the KitchenAid.
We watched numerous demo videos on both on Amazon and YouTube.
For us, the KitchenAid's selling point was the lift-up handle that picked and locked the bowl into place. I have many years worth of experience working with a restaurant-grade dough mixer (Usually mixing nearly 20 pounds of dough at a time), so the videos demonstrated the mixer's sturdiness.
Although the Cuisinart's mixer appeared equally sturdy, we were nervous about the constant over-use of the hinge of the machine that requires completely torquing up and out the machine and the wires inside in order to remove the bowl (You should watch the videos to see what I mean).
So far I have limited myself to making up to 6-8 cups of flour into dough at a time. Only thing to point out: When mixing dough, I would recommend standing by the dough mix and adding water into the bowl in areas that needs to be wet, instead of dumping all the water in the beginning. By doing so I cut down the time the utensil is able to work the water into dry dough, thus I am able to cut down the total time my machine needs to be running. Dough is mixed in less than 10 minutes, but overall I hope that I am extending the total life of the machine. The dough always comes out in a ball shape and does not require further kneading by hand, as long as the flour and water are in the right proportions.
We have not opened the cover to see if the 2010 parts are made of metal, but based on most recent reviews we believe they are. The machine is loud, so I recommend placing it on a counter-top instead of a table. Over all the machine does what it promises and we are very happy with our purchase.
