I continue to really like this mixer. It's gotten a little less quiet, but is still "quiet' for a stand-mixer of this size and power. Stand-mixers in general are not quiet appliances, so expecting one which literally makes very little noise is not realistic. I am impressed by the efficiency and power of the bread hook. My ciabatta has improved greatly since switched to this machine.
I do want to repeat my warning: This is not a machine you should allow children to use. If I had young children, I would not have one in my kitchen, except under lock and key. I was a kid once, so I remember trying things out even when my parents told me absolutely not to do so. The welts have long faded from the several spankings I got after I absolutely did so. In careless or unwitting hands, this is a dangerous piece of kitchen equipment. You wouldn't let your kids play with good kitchen knives or a food processor, so just add this to the list of NOT FOR KIDS.
Original comments:
This is in-between a commercial model and the usual stand-mixers I've used. It's not for use by children or careless teens. It's for serous cooks. There are some things about it which could present minor safety issues if you're not paying attention - such as not turning off the mixer before you lower the bowl. To repeat: the motor does not turn off when you lower the bowl. That could cause the beater to catch the splash-guard and break it. It could also splatter batter outside the bowl. However, being able to raise and lower the bowl is something that I find extremely useful, and would be disappointed if there were a switch incorporated into the stand mechanism.
I broke the dough hook on my Kenmore 800 Watt 5-quart mixer, and the thing is so old now (15 years), I can't find a replacement hook for it. So I splurged on a new KitchenAid 6-quart Bowl Pro 600 model (a retail "professional" model) for about the same price I paid for the Kenmore 15 years ago. So far, it's been a pleasure. Everything has small tolerances, so that the beater and Whisk come close to the bowl. The bread-hook is exactly like the ones I've seen on commercial models. The mixer is relatively quiet compared to the Kenmore. (As it aged, I started wearing ear-plugs when using it. If I keep it, I will look for new gears to install in it.)
The KitchenAid has a slow-start protocol built in, so that when you turn it on (by advancing the speed lever - there is no on/off switch) it doesn't sent a puff of flour in the air or splash liquid out (unless you go immediately to high). The Kenmore I had apparently was engineer with a fast-start; I resorted to starting the Kenmore with the beaters up and then lowering them into the bowl when the mixer had gone to it's appropriate speed. Still, if I had a lot of flour in the bowl of the KitchenAid, I'd start with the bowl lowered, and slowly ight the bowl to reduce splatter, etc.
I like it because it's the closest I've seen to a real commercial mixer. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is used in commercial kitchens for smaller jobs. I have just begun to use it, so I don't know how it will wear. If it develops problems from early wear, I'll be back to report on them.
I love it!
I made a big batch of chocolate chip cookies and about six loaves of bread. This mixer plows right on through it!
Some reviews mention noise being a factor. Well, true, it's not a quiet machine... but... it's also about how I would think a 575 watt electric motor driving a high torque steel gear set would sound. This is a powerful machine so it's not going to be whisper quiet.
The 6 quart bowl is bigger than I though it would be which is great! It will easily be able to handle doubled recipes and the like.
The dough hook does an awesome job! So much better than the 'C' type hook on my little Hamilton-Beach that this is an upgrade from.
I'd definitely recommend this machine if you're serious about your baking!

Original review:
I'm disappointed to report that the mixer I was sent apparently has something wrong with the gears. Once per cycle, the rotation would catch for a moment rather than being one fluid rotation. If the mixer happened to stop in the position where it caught, the mixer would take several seconds before it started moving again.
I'm really sad this wasn't working properly as I was looking forward to a Sunday of breadmaking. In the meantime, I'm going to have to drag out my little $85 Hamilton Beach that this was going to replace.
5 Stars to Amazon though for their replacement policy. Submitted the replacement request at 10:10 PM Saturday night and the new one should be here by Tuesday at the latest. Keeping fingers crossed that the new one doesn't have any problems!
***UPDATE EDIT***
Again, 5 stars to Amazon for the quick replacement. Received the replacement on Monday afternoon after only sending the request in on Saturday night.
The replacement seems to be in good working order. Now that I've opened a second one, I suspect that the original was a return that somehow got back into the 'new' channel. With the first one, the various attachments were all in the bowl and it was shipped in the regular box.
On the replacement, the paddle and dough hook were in slots in the styrofoam and the whisk was attached to the mixer. Also, it shipped in an outer brown cardboard box rather than just the internal "pretty" box (the one with photos etc. printed on it) that you would see at a store.
Once I get a chance to put it through its paces, I will re-review.

Reviewed in India on December 28, 2023
La calidad del equipo es de primera, sin problemas aquí. El motor es muy potente y tiene buen torque. La batidora es pesada y bastante sólida. Los acabados son muy buenos. Incluye 3 accesorios de metal; batidora de huevo, gancho batodor de masas y otro gancho tipo "flat beater".
No se si vaya a ser muy durable, pero lo que si puedo decir es todavía existen en la familia batidoras Kitchen Aid de 20 años y siguen dando batalla.
Importante: esta batidora no tiene cabeza pivotante, es decir; la cabeza es fija y no se levanta. En lugar de eso, uno tiene que quitar el bowl haciendo un par de malabares. Esto es importante porque algunas personas prefieren que la cabeza sea la que se levante y las aspas queden en el aire. Esto es para dar mayor eficiencia en los batidos.
+ME GUSTA
+ Color muy estético (la mía es la roja quemada)
+Pesada y sólida
+Excelente calidad
+Motor profesional con gran torque
+Accesorios de metal
+Buen precio en Amazon
+Variedad de velocidades
+Muchos accesorios que se venden por separado
-A MEJORAR
- Un poco ruidosa
- Cabezal no se levanta (modelos pro)
Puedo decir son lugar a dudas que esta batidora es 100% recomendable.
