One of my Dad’s old school chums was one of Clair Chenault’s original 100 Flying Tigers (no kidding), so there is a special place in my head for all things that have to do with that bunch. Not only that, but I like off-beat things and what could be more off-beat than a mixer with the most recognized Flying Tiger emblem?
Fairly easy to apply, too.
The KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers are the largest stand mixers manufactured bearing the KitchenAid brand name. The Pro 600 brings professional power and outcomes to the baker and family. How do you know if a KitchenAid Stand Mixer Professional 600 is the perfect stand mixer for your cooking needs? Below are a few pros and cons regarding the KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers.
Advantages of the KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers
Big Capacity - The 6 quart mixing bowl and powerful motor can power through batches of up to 14 cups of all-purpose flour.
Powerful Motor - The KitchenAid Stand Mixer Professional 600 boasts a 575 Watt motor. This is 125 Watts stronger than the closest mixer.
Stability - Due to the bowl-lift structure of the KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers, they are much more stable than tilt-head models when working with thick dough.
Large Opening Bowl - The KitchenAid Pro 5 Plus and the KitchenAid Professional 600 both possess a bowl with a large opening, allowing easier reach to the bowl contents.
Smart Speed Controls - The Kitchenaid 600 Series Mixers have a soft-start feature that keeps the bowl contents from flying from the bowl. The Electronic Speed Sensor keeps the mixer running at the selected speed even while the mixture become thicker as ingredients are added.
PowerKnead Dough Hook - Most KitchenAid mixers have a C-shaped dough hook. The PowerKnead hook can more efficiently handle stiffer dough.
Many Attachments Available - The KitchenAid 600 Series can turn into a complete kitchen center with the purchase of further attachments. These attachments allow you to do everything from opening cans to making ice cream. Think of a mixer than can even slice vegetables and stuff sausages!
KitchenAid Warranty - The Pro 600 is backed by KitchenAid's no-questions guarantee. They will replace the mixer if it stops working during the first year.
Disadvantages of the KitchenAid 600 Series Mixers
Weight - Due to its considerable size along with its strong motor, the KitchenAid Mixer Professional 600 is a weighty appliance. It is wise to locate a place where it can remain on the counter top.
Space Required - The mixer requires a bit of vertical height. Confirm that the necessary space can be found in your kitchen.
Price Tag - Because it is the top of the KitchenAid line, it costs the most.
With KitchenAid's well-known reputation for superiority, the KitchenAid Stand Mixer Professional 600 becomes a good purchase that will result in sustained use as well as yummy treats.
Where can I find kitchenaid pro 600 mixer accessories.?
I have the mixer, 1 bowl and bread attachment. That's all. I need the rest of the original accessories.

OK, here’s the gift for the cook who has everything. I have a white Kitchenaid mixer. I love it, but it looks like everyone’s mixer. Not anymore. I saw Alton Brown’s mixer on Good Eats one night, googled, and found FlameKA.com. Then I comparison shopped–basically everyone is charging the same price.
I got this one because it looked different from the flames. Also, my husband is a WWII buff, and he got a kick out of this set.
These decals are very heavy duty and thick. Easy to put on, and they’re not coming off easily. The instructions provided are fine, but this is so easy you don’t need much in the way of instructions.
FlameKA ships fast and isn’t a big ripoff for shipping charges.
I know it seems like a lot of money to decorate a mixer, but I am going to have this mixer for a very long time, so break the cost down to a monthly cost, or something that will make you feel better. I spent a lot of money on the mixer, so why not a few more bucks making it special?
Ok, so I did not buy this. However there are a few historical issues with calling this a 1942 Navy sticker set.
- The Flying Tigers were originally an American volunteer and later a U.S. Army Air Force unit flying out of China, not a U.S. Navy squadron.
- The red horizontal stripe in the national insignia was not added until 1947. No US aircraft during WWII had these stripes in their insignia.
If sticking with the US Navy theme, probably better off calling this a VF-111 Sundowners F-4B decal sticker, circa 1972. Otherwise an A-10 of the USAF 23rd Fighter Group is more (but not completely) accurate.
Buyer beware, should you be cornered by a military nerd!
These decals are really heavy and the graphics are crisp. I have received many compliments on my enhanced mixer; even a bit of envy.
The one problem I did have on the application was *static* The over-sheet on which the decal were attached & aligned wanted to stick far quicker than I had expected. I had to reposition several of the decals because of this. One they were firmly in place, there is no moving them.
This is a fabulous purchase. I use it almost everyday. Really easy to operate. Heavy duty. I bought the ice cream maker attachment as well, and all I can say is YUMMO! I saw a few reviews about it being a bit difficult to attach the ice cream blade, however it was as easy as hooking up a beater. (Hint; just look at the length of the two sides of the attachment and match it according to the picture of your model.) I looked at the other Kitchen Aid models, and am happy I bought the deluxe, lift bowl. It makes a large batch for one thing, and the power is incredible. I can make a quart of whipped cream in a minute, and my hands are free to do other prep work. I definitely use the shield when I have a full bowl, so don’t be fooled by what the adds say about the refurbished ones, “that you don’t need it”. (They can be ordered separately though.) With power like this, I will be ordering all the attachments for sure, which will eliminate many appliances. Just another reason I am happy to have this powerhouse. REALLY WORTH THE MONEY!
Always wanted a KitchenAid mixer and I bought the workhorse. Simply put, it makes baking and whatever else you would use a mixer to make so much easier! It is well worth the money.
This mixer is beautiful. It works great. We have made a few batches of pizza dough, cookies and brownies. THe only thing that we don’t like about it is that if you are making small batches of things the bowl is really way too big. I wished they had a diffeent size bowl that you could interchange with the 6 qt one.
The product was delivered promptly in excellent condition. The seller did everything expected in the transaction.
This item is just plain fun and easy to apply. Makes me wish I had more KitchenAids to put on some of the other designs they have. I might get one of the other designs and put it on my bread maker.
You will have this for life. Has wonderful attachments and makes cooking particularly baking easier and with fabulous and consistent results.
Why I bought it:
I make a lot of cakes from home.
Pros:
I can make a very big batch of buttercream. I love the options for all of the attachments.
Cons:
It bogs down a little when I really load it up but I haven’t had it quit on me. I have to handwash the attachments because for some reason, the dish detergent crystalizes and sticks to them.
Fast Shipping and great product. It is way more powerful than the Artisan series that I first bought. I would advise spending the extra money and getting this one. It is quieter than expected (about like the Artisan) and performs better. I like the extra features like the slow startup and It has not strained like the Artisan did with pizza dough. I look forward to getting the attachments for grain, meat and pasta.
My husband ordered this for me for my birthday in the very lovely caviar. I used this well for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas baking. I made I don’t know how many dozens of cupcakes for my daughters birthday party, several standard cakes for Thanksgiving and roughly a dozen cheesecakes for Thanksgiving with no issues what-so-ever. It cleans very easy, looks wonderful on my counter and as the title states, well worth the wait!
I couldn’t be better pleased with this decal set. The decals themselves are wonderful quality – well worth the price, which I thought was a bit steep, until people started bragging on my beautiful mixer! A dear friend in Maine wrote me that I surely had the fanciest mixer in Alabama. My Mom has been telling everyone how talented I am, and I keep reminding her that it was a set of decals – my talent (or lack thereof) had nothing to do with it! With the 5 year projected outdoor lifetime of the decal set, I feel confident that inside, covered up and in its cabinet, my mixer will be fabulous forever! I truly did not want to put it away in the cabinet after “decorating” it! The only warning I would give anyone buying this set is to be very careful as you’re placing the roses – they’re really sticky!
Decal was the perfect size for my 4.5 quart mixer. Sellers description was very informative and item was received quickly.
I saw these a long time ago, but never would have purchased them for myself. Yay, I got them from a good friend for Christmas!!! So cute and they add a wacky little touch to my otherwise somewhat traditional kitchen! Those who know me, know that with the amount of baking I do, these “flames” are a very apropos representation of my favorite pastime!!! A cinch to put on the mixer!
Yes, I admit that I too am an avid fan of Alton Brown and his Good Eats. When I opened this flat package on Christmas morning I think my husband was worried I’d think this was cheesy but I hurried to the kitchen to pimp out my fire engine red Kitchen Aid. He was right, I was a little anxious, but the flames look sweet against the shiny red mixer and all my holiday guests got huge grins on their faces when they got a glimpse of my custom decal job.
Applying the decals was easier than I could have thought. And I was relived that if I do get tired of the flames I can just peel them off with the help of a little rubbing alcohol. Now I’m ready to dazzle if I can only find a way to get Alton in MY kitchen…
What fun! Now my mixer can be upgraded to look like Alton Brown’s! I’d tried the decals designed for cars and it just didn’t work. Thanks for these decals just for my KitchenAid mixer. I bought a set for me and for a friend who is also an Alton Brown fan.
