And all I can say is WOW! I got it in nicke lpearl, and it is so pretty! I had to make some No Fails last night, and I was amazed! My pouring shield wasn't in the box, so I need to call and have them send it to me, but I don't think it will be a problem!

Congratulations! They rock. You're going to love it!

I'm very jeleous!! Congratulations and enjoy!!

it's the bees knees! once you go kitchen aid, you'll never go back
enjoy!

COngrats! I got mine for my 30th in November and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so amazing to have.

I had been using a hand mixer and an Oster Stand mixer that my mom has had for ocer 20 years! I couldn't believe the difference!

My pouring shield is on backorder and will take 2-4 weeks to get here

Does anyone actually use the pouring shield? I spent the extra $ to get one for my mixer years ago, and I have never used it once! It just seems to get in the way.

I do find the pouring shield helpful when doing my icing because the powdered sugar really dusts all over.[/list]

i couldn't live without my pouring shield! my kitchen is enough of a mess as it is!! seriously... i love it!

I do not use my pouring shield much. I do LOVE my KA 600! It makes baking everything a breeze!

You lucky girl!!!! I dream of a KA like that!!!

Can't wait to afford it

Congrats on your mixer I got mine back in September & Its my baby. I love it I talk to her all the time

I do not have one. I do not plan on getting one. I just would need somewhere to store it.

How many qrts is your mixer?

I have a love hate relationship with the shield. It does help to keep p.s. from flying all over the place, but it is annoying to try and lift the paddle with the silly thing on.

I have a 4.5 qt and a 6 qt. If I need to prevent flour or powdered sugar explosions, I just wrap a cloth around the mixer....that's what I learned to do working with 20 and 60 qt. mixers in a bakery, and it works just as well with the smaller ones! I just have a really hard time adding ingredients to my mixer with that darn shield on and then you have to take it off to scrape the bowl (which I do often)...it's just a pain.

Looks like there's mixed reviews on the shield! I guess I'll have to wait forever for mine to get here, so I can try it out for myself! I do know that I was making No Fails last night, and ended up covered in flour when I turned up the power

I got one last fall and I don't know how I made it. It makes so many jobs so much easier. I use the pouring shield when I'm adding powdered sugar or flour. I measure either one (by weight) into a pitcher and then pour from the pitcher through the pouring shield. It works great.

I also just got a pro 600. It makes jobs like MMF and No Fail Sugar Cookies a breeze! So much fun to use!!

I got mine last month, and I LOVE IT!!!!! Mine is white, with pearlized finish, I think it is called merigue. I start mixing with the shield on, and I always take it off before it is done. But I do love it, what a difference!!!

I just got the same mixer this week (even the same color). I used it for mmf last night I love it! As for the pouring sheild it does make adding powdered sugar a lot less messy, but it takes time getting used to. I love the mixer, but it was a big change from the cheap stand mixer I was using! Congrats on your new purchase.

I also got the metallic pearl pro 600 last mothers day, and It's amazing how it has help me in making large qtys of everything,

I am also pro of the spill guard, It does help me not to get flour, or conf. sugar all over the place.

I am a proud KA fan!!!!

Congrats on your buy, Is worth every penny,,,

HOORAY! Mine is new I also have the 600 my shield was with it and I use it all the time. I make IMBC and it is a must and keeps large quantities in the bowl!
One ? for you and the others with a 600- mine is really LOUD. Like I have to yell over it. I always thought is was normal becasue of the high-powered motor, but family visited last month and when I used it they thought it shouldn't be that loud. Is your's super loud?

Mine is not loud, did you check the beater clearance, the beater should not touch the bottom of the bowl when you left the bowl up to use. There is a screw right there in the middle to adjust the bowl lever. I did have to do that to mine.

Well mine does make the normal mixing noise, but increases with the speed, that is normal if you have your at 10 speed you do have to speak out louder but I dont think there is a problem with that because you normally beat at this speed for a small period of time.

hope the info helps!!!



I also had troubles at the begining adjusting the bowl, this will also make a noise with the paddle
if its not in the right position

you're so lucky!! i keep wishing and hoping for one. i graduate from college in may, so maybe i'll ask for as a graduation present!

Congrats....Hope your loving it. I got my KA Pro600 for xmas and really dont know how I made it without the thing. I love it.

Have Fun with it

MINE IS REALLY LOUD TOO. I THOUGht something was wrong because my instructor was suprised when she heard it, but it works great! my friend just got a pro 5 and it souNDS JUST LIKE MINE, SO I ASSUME ITS NORMAL. (SORRY, BROKEN CAPS LOCK...)
