Nope, that hasn't been true for about 4-5 years now.

You are thinking of the old Costco model. That model was a Professional 6000HD (not to be confused with the similarly named Professional 600) and had a 1.0HP DC motor. The current Costco model is a disguised Professional 610 and has a 590W AC motor, making it the most powerful model (by 15W) in the Professional 600 lineup.

As for attachments, the Professional 6000HD (the old Costco model) used a modified 5QT bowl with flared sides to make it a 6qt bowl. As such, most 6qt bowl related attachments won't fit it but a few 5qt ones will. All other non-bowl related attachments are fully interchangeable with that model. The current one uses a standard 6qt bowl, so it can use any attachment any other Professional 600 models use.

I did some quick math to help alleviate this concern. As a disclaimer I have this mixer in red and it is amazing. If you add up all the 1,2 and 3 star reviews you get 418 reviews. Now add up the 4 and 5 star reviews and you get 4177. If you look at this as a percentage it is almost exactly 10%. It's safe to say that more than 10% of the general public are not good equipment reviewers or users for that matter. I meet people that honestly can't tell me how to get to their house, they have no idea what roads they take they just drive them. If 90% of the reviews are 4 and 5 star, that's a bet I'll take, I can promise you that. This is a solid mixer, it'll sell out at this price. I got it for $219 about 4 years ago and it's still running strong and 0 complaints here.

Despite the name, both of these models are targeted at home users. You don't really start seeing the true professional features and power until you hit the DC motor models, which (confusingly) start at the Professional 6000HD or 6500Design and up. For true professional use though , you are looking at the Commercial 8qt model which has all of the necessary commercial features, NSF approval, and a commercial warranty.



The difference in power is only notable when you are doing larger volumes or more difficult doughs like pasta or bagel dough. This Costco model is the most powerful of the AC motor models. To get something better from KA, you would need to step up to a DC motor model which though looking the same are entirely different beasts.



The plastic gearbox housings had a tendency to crack. Kitchenaid has stopped using those in all bowl-lift models other than certain ultra-budget models for things like BF specials. Additionally it was a single sacrificial plastic gear designed to shred itself if the motor is over taxed. This is IMHO a good thing, not a bad thing.

As for the removal of the microcontroller, I have seen that on more than just this Costco model. It likely means that motor overload protection is gone (unless they accomplished it with discrete components). Alternately, the microcontroller could be integrated into the hall effect sensor. I have seen a few uC's integrated into hall effect sensors.




It is not. Costco used to sell a DC motor model around five-ish years ago but no longer do.

To be honest SlickMagic gave you the right answer, ie. it wasn't a dumb comment. All you need to do is read this thread, but instead you just prefer to ask a question that has been answer multiple times in it.

I read all pages, and didn't find the answers I need. Tried google too. If a person don't have answer, just don't answer and don't pretend to be smart.

Got last red one in the store. But looks like it still 329.99 in store. Will the 80 off show up in the checkout?
Costco uses a billing system created around when the wheel was invented. Unlike other places that might have everything sync'ed nationally to a main database Costco has their system tied to a local machine on the warehouse. So unless the store manager has the coupon setup locally in their store, the discount will not show up. In other words, try paying for it and if you don't get the $80 discount try talking to a manager and showing him the online discount /coupon (if it hasn't expired that is).

I did answer your question in this thread, so give the thread another read. What keywords did you tried using in Google?

Btw, SlickMagic gave you the right answer and he did not disrespect you in any way. You in the other hand called him dumb. Just take a few seconds and read again what he said with a level and objective mind and you will see that you are the one that needs to perhaps be more polite.

How's this what you saying here related to KitchenAid Mixer? This tread is about Costco deal, not trying to be smarter than other persons, saying "I know how to use google".

Hey thanks for the feedback. So it ended up scanning with $80 off and that was literally the last one on hand. The red is growing on me and my wife as I would have liked the silver! Made our first dough and it made an amazing consistent dough! Already going to put through the grind coming thanksgiving!

I guess there is a language barrier and you didn't understand or are not willing to understand. Have a nice day, hope you find what you are looking for. Also sincerely wishing you good luck finding the mixer you need.

I went with red, it looks super nice. Silver looks more neutral, looks nice indeed but it is not eye popping, will definitely blend without standing out in the kitchen. The black one is matte which I liked a lot, but in the end the red one won me over.

Costco is weird on how they handle out of stock or phased out items on their website. They just kill or remove the website instead of just keeping it there. Just give a call to your local warehouse and ask them to check if they still have some on stock.

Is not plastic, it is a flex material, like silicon or something similar. It definitely is not plastic, at least from what I can tell 🙂
I was referring to the material of the beater blade itself. The scraper part is a hard silicone type material whereas the beater blade structure is a hard plastic. The scraper part never broke on us, it was the plastic beater blade structure that always broke, most often at the point where the thinner frame connects to the thick base (the part that connects to the mixer). That joint gets so much stress on it when mixing that it will eventually break if you mix super thick batter. I would imagine it would break after a few weeks of trying to use it to knead bread dough (I would never recommend doing that), so only use the beater blade for cakes, cookies, brownies, whipping cream, etc and use the provided dough hook or metal beater blade for super thick material such as bread dough.

Hope that makes sense!

Yeah red is definitely nice! We are super excited for the addition to the kitchen.
