I can be clutz too so I'd probably need a replacement at some point in time if I had a glass one!!

Mine has the tilt head.....the larger one I'm hoping to get someday has the one where the bowl lifts up......which do the rest of you prefer?

My husband likes the tilt head design - I like the larger bowl lifts up design. But since it is my kitchen aid, and not his, we are going with my favorite!

I cannot wait until mine gets here!!!

I like the tilt head. That's what mine is, but I've used the larger one. I've had mine for ten years now. And I love it! I've got the grinder (use it for meat and when I'm canning tomatoes) and the pasta maker (don't use very often - I like to roll out my noodles). I use my mixer a few times a week.

The one on which the bowl lifts up seems like a bit of an awkward design to me (I checked out a model in the store before I chose the Artisan version). It seems like it's a bit of a pain to remove the bowl.

Chicken Lady -- that's what I thought, too. And when I'm adding ingredients, I like the fact that I can just lift the head up.

I just got one for Christmas. I started using it 2 weeks ago, making lots of bread recipes. So far I really like it. My initial rating is a 10.

Hope you enjoy yours, Sequin.

Thank you so much!!!

I am pleased to announce - It's HERE!!! My Onyx Black KA Pro600 is finally here!!!!! YipEEEeeeeeeee....

My DH is really excited too. He wants me to start rolling out the goodies tonight. LOL. I will start tomorrow with Gump's Bread I think. Or maybe just some cookies I can have fun rolling out with my son. Or maybe a bundt cake so I can use my new bundt pan. Or maybe just some biscuits. Or, Or, Or,...

oh the fun I will have bonding with my new toy!

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me make my decision. Your thoughts and advice were All really very helpful and I truly appreciate each and every one.

Happy baking!!!

Maybe you should send us some cookies so we will know that the mixer works right.
