| Product Description: | Reimagine your favorite holiday recipes -- braided loaves lavishly studded with candies and fruit, a huge assortment of kid-frosted cookies, or mega batches of mashed potatoes (for now and freezing for later). This KitchenAid Pro 600 stand mixer is a mixing, kneading, whipping machine that helps make it all happen with a huge-capacity lift-style bowl, 10 different speeds, and the kind of power that can handle all your large holiday batches (and then some).
Plus, it comes with the indispensable Flex Edge beater, so you can cream the butter and sugar to that light and fluffy state without stopping for a spatula-scrape-down moment. And that pouring shield is a must (because flour flurries: it's a real thing). From KitchenAid.

There aren't really any videos that i can find going through the pros and cons of the old vs new style. I was hoping that a kitchenaid repair specialist i watched on youtube would have a video on it but he doesn.t
TLDR: Pro 600 being discontinued, replacing with new motor that is harder to repair.
btw i paid $220 for a refurbished 600 with all attachments minus the bowl guard, it was on walmart and officially sold by kitchenaid. That is by far the best place to get this mixer cheap but you have to look at it a lot because they have been sold out a while, they put up random stuff there. Also their refurbished page has great deals too, but they are slightly cheaper when bought through walmart.com

And I *think* the Professional 5 plus (5 quart) uses a 525W motor, while the regular version of the 6-quart uses a 450W motor and the newer 7-quart model uses a 500W motor. Might not be spot on with the numbers - I just remember learning the Pro 600 had a fairly significant improvement in power.

Light duty -$100-200 Artisan tilt head, 200 watt loud AC motor, reinforced nylon worm gear. Buy extra genuine nylon ($20), amazon sells the $5 fakes. Heavy bread dough will burn it out and damage the gears fast.
Medium duty-$200 Bowl lift, 600 watt loud AC motor, soft metal gear. Artisan Mini DC motor.
Heavy duty- $300-800, 600-900 watt quite DC, hard metal gears, Stock up on parts. Perfect for bread doughs daily, small bake shop pro grade (aka Vitamix 6500, Speed Queen)
Yes, the new model have the quite AC motors, $100 modular parts to earn a better income for mixers. The build it to last forever and cheap $5-20 parts isn't a sustainable business model.
Does the current Costco one have metal gears?
The Pro 600 has all metal gears, right?

See @FAL's description above. Kitchenaid has made a real mess of their naming. You need the actual model number to know what drivetrain you're getting. Sure, all of the parts were available, and yeah, the brass gear is only $10 or so. But you also need the transmission gasket each time. And if things wear in just the right way it'll push the gears around enough and the transmission housing might shift, which might break a locator pin, so you might need a transmission housing. And then, well, you're in there, better replace some other gears. And then you find yourself $100 into yet another hour or two rebuild.
And it's not like it break suddenly. It's a continuum. It starts to get louder, then it starts clicking and grinding. And then I worry that heavier doughs will cause it to break, and they will, so I stop making things I want to make.
It got old fast. I went to a DC model.

We know the DC powered KSM models, such as the commercial series, have been more reliable, but they're also quite a lot more expensive.
