As others have said, this cheap plastic stuffing attachment is more trouble than it’s worth. After an hour of struggling with it I gave up and stuffed the sausage by hand.
The grinder tool worked great but I definitely don’t recommend the stuffer. If it had cost more than the $10 I paid for it I would have asked for my money back.
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.

this is a great tool to have. I have meant to purchase one long ago but just never go around to it.
It works great although the fit is not secure or snug to the bowl itself.
it does however keep the confectioners sugar from flying everywhere and that is most important so I feel it does what it is supposed to do.
thanks so much for your speed and helpful website.

I recently purchased a pouring shield for my Kitchen Aid Pro. 500 mixer. It really helps keep spills in check when I add ingredients to my mier.
It’s great that the shield fits all model but it doesn’t tighten to the bowl. If you beat something like flour and the dough rises up and hit the shield, the shield would lift up. Basically the shield is quite loose to fit into the bowl.
This mixer will change the way that you bake! I absolutely love it. It whips up a cake in no time at all. It takes just a few minutes to cream 3 sticks of butter and 3 cups for sugar. This mixer is definitely a time-saver! I love my mixer!
I was thrilled that I was able to purchase a superior machine at the same cost that I could have paid for name brand machine of much inferior quality. i have not had a chance to try it yet but I know that I will enjoy it.
It came packaged very well and was shipped promptly. Thanks.
This may be the “Bottom of the Line” for a Kitchen Aid mixer but the wattage was bumped to 275 and I find it to be more than capable for any job I have for it. It will change the way you cook. My Grandmother has owned and used a similar model for over 30 years, used almost on a daily basis, and it performs as good today as it did when it was new in 1977. Three generations have loved what was lovingly made with her Kitchen Aid. These machines are solid as stone.
If the beater is not hitting the bottom of the bowl your mixer needs to be adjusted. On the K45 series there is a screw on the front of the joint when you tilt it back. Turn that screw clockwise (to the right)to tighten it and that will allow your blade to reach the bottom. If your blade starts hitting/rubbing the bowl, the screw should be turned back to the left until you find a happy medium. If the blade is hitting/rubbing you bowl it will damage your attatchments. Good luck. This is an older piece of equiptmant but built very well that should last a lifetime. My husband and I have a “hand me down” that has lasted 40 years!
I thought my old hand mixer, which I received as a wedding gift in 1974, was fine. Hey, it lasted longer than my marriage did! Unfortunately, I broke it while making sticky icing for my sister’s birthday cake. My new kitchenAid 7-speed mixer is so much more powerful, not to mention quieter. I can still hear the T.V. while I’m mixing up a cake. It is great for cookies too. Due to the design of the beaters, the batter doesn’t get stuck in them like it did on my old mixer. I am very happy with my new mixer, and I would definitely purchase another one if it holds up half as long as my old one did.
I asked for this attachment pack for Christmas since I love applesauce and I do a lot of canning. I had never seen one used before so I had no idea what to expect, other than what people said in the reviews here on Amazon. The instructions for this are horrible; I had to look up an online video to know how the pieces were supposed to fit together. Maybe this is apparent to other people when they first unpack it, but I didn’t understand. The instruction book is for the food grinder, fruit and vegetable strainer, and the pasta attachment and this set does not include the pasta attachment. Nowhere in the instructions did it say that all the pieces included in the box were not used at once. After I got everything hooked up properly to the mixer (thanks to the video) I started loading my cooked apples in the tray. I agree with everyone here that the tray should be bigger, or the larger tray attachment should be included. Why not throw in the big tray to begin with? Once I got everything going, I realized the attachment “poops” out the front, meaning all the peels and waste comes out the hole in the front of the attachment in a long tube of pulp. I was not ready for this and now I know to put a smaller bowl under the hole to catch the waste.
The attachment seems very efficient, comparable to the old Foley food mill I’d been using. The texture is very similar. For my trial run, five large apples yielded 2/3 of a quart of applesauce. Much cleaner than using the food mill, since I didn’t have to worry about constantly dumping out the waste, it just came out the front. The directions don’t say what speed setting to use for making sauce; I guessed and used speed 6 and everything seemed to be great. It took me about 2 minutes to put the five apples through and it was effortless. As long as you keep the apples in the tray and don’t dump them down the sides, you shouldn’t have much mess at all. When I was finished I unhooked everything, disassembled the pieces and dumped them in a sink full of soapy water. Everything comes apart and is very easy to clean. The hardest thing to get all the apple bits out of was the metal cone.
I can see this being my favorite attachment come summer when canning season begins. This is easy enough to set up and use for small batches of applesauce anytime. Why can applesauce when it’s this easy to make? I will eventually use this for jam and baby food. If not for the horrible instructions (or lack thereof) I would give this five stars. How hard would it have been to include a step by step guide to assembling the pieces and include the correct speeds for the attachments? Maybe I’m missing part of my instructions? I don’t know, but it shouldn’t take a half hour online to figure out, especially when I’m usually pretty savvy at figuring out this kind of stuff.
This seems like an expensive attachment, but it is essential for making homemade applesauce and freezer jams. It was so easy and the attachment pieces are very durable. I can’t believe that I was ever without this!
Bought this set for my son, a chef-in-training. He is very happy with all of the
pieces, and I am happy with the number of food processing options that this set
offers. And that junior is happy with the gift. The testamonial in itself.

I’ve used a food grinder and fruit/veg strainer for almost 30 years with my old Oster kitchen center, so I’m very used to the concept and application. The Kitchenaid strainer is considerably smaller and has less output than my Oster’s attachment. The top feed tray and the diameter of the input hole are tiny in comparison. Whoever designed this unit did not plan on someone home-canning a large quantity of food… it is designed for an occasional pressing/straining of baby food or light duty use. This is disappointing.
You will definitely need to purchase the additional optional food tray!
As for the strainer, with common sense and care it should do very well. You just have to cook any fruit which isn’t already totally soft or cooked until completely mushy. I do like the backward pour-out design of the strainer unit.
Also, the picture shows a wooden pusher; the unit now comes with a plastic pusher which doubles as a wrench for a too-tight twist holding nut. It also is molded with places for your fingers, which is nice.
I like the quality of the Kitchenaid plastic. My old Oster finally gave up after almost 30 years; the motor’s still going strong but the plastic Oster attachments are broken
Let’s see how the Kitchenaid holds up after 30 years of hard use.
The Kitchenaid food grinder metal plates and blade are smaller, thinner and less well made than my old Oster’s. I am slightly disappointed with the design.
Please don’t think I’m unhappy with my choice of replacement for my faithful but retired Oster. It’s just that I was expecting an upgrade in design because of the hype and cachet of the Kitchenaid brand.
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!
The product was delivered promptly in excellent condition. The seller did everything expected in the transaction.
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.
This item was exactly as it was presented. It arrived in a timely fashion. I was very pleased with this order.
I bought this Kitchenaid 7 speed mixer to replace a cheap hand mixer I had. I was looking for a mixer that had power plus a slow starting speed. I found both in this mixer. I did wish the top speed was faster. Overall I was satisfied with this mixer. A little less than four years though and the mixer quit. We determined it was the digital electronics and not the motor. The motor would still click but not turn on. I had problems with the digital controls for the last several months before it quit. I was disappointed that an expensive mixer like this would not last longer. I will not buy another Kitchenaid hand mixer again.
Was looking for appliances and accessories for my new kitchen and wanted red – probably didn’t need this much power, but works really well and looks adorable (if that matters to you). Very, very pleased with this buy!
