The 3rd Kitchenaid Pro 600 I’ve had in the past 10 years just bit the dust. Actually, it might be less time than that and it could be the 4th mixer I’ve gone through. To tell the truth, my memory is a bit hazy anymore since it seems like I’ve gone through this too many times for a mixer with reputation that the KitchenAid has but doesn’t deserve in my opinion. But it’s definitely at least 3 mixers.
I make a lot of bread dough for, well, bread. And pizza. And stromboli. And the occasional calzone. I’m probably using it minimally 2 to 3 times a week making anything from white to wheat to rye to sourdough based recipes. The Wife also uses it for cookie dough and the occasional cake.
In short, it needs to be a workhorse. I’ve checked Hobart mixer prices, but new ones are minimally $2000 and the used ones aren’t much better. Guess that’s what it costs to have something that’s reliable.
Crap.

Too many to pick from …. you need a bigger kitchen and winning lottery ticket number for some of them ! !
