Restored KitchenAid Professional 600 Stand Mixer 6 Quart 10-Speed Contour Silver - RKP26M1XCU (Refurbished)

Unit is exactly what I wanted. Build is substantial and performance is what you'd expect from a pro level appliance from KitchenAid. My last one is still going strong 17 years later (was a wedding gift) and was a standard model. I needed a larger unit with more power to add to my baking arsenal. Plus, accessing the bowl by raising and lowering it rather than tilting the entire heavy head of the mixer is a much better design in the Pro. Also, being refurbished just means someone returned it and they can't sell it as new. So if you're hesitant just keep in mind that it has all the warranties of a new one and at this price point it is less than what people are paying for truly used ones on eBay with no warranty. Lastly, being that they do last so long the smart choice is going with the silver/stainless color. You might like red, yellow or robin's egg blue now, but will you 15-20 years? Silver is timeless. Probably can't say as much about our kitchens right? Silver can live through a remodel. Bake on!

Arrived quickly and looks fantastic for a renewed mixer. I purchased this to replace a cheap Chinese mixer that lasted less than a day and was returned to the seller ( not Walmart). I used KitchenAid mixers when i had restaurants in San Diego and even though they are technically not commercial they lasted over 4 years without any issues. This is a nice strong machine and mixes my bread dough with breaking a sweat. The only slight criticism i have are the coated paddles, not a fan and much prefer polished stainless steel.
