Not a bad deal
By Rico on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2019
At first when I saw the offer to purchase this as a refurbished item I had reservations . However, after reading the reviews as I'm sure most of you will. I decided to take the plunge due to the considerable savings. The item arrived on time and to my surprise it even had a knob on the handle, which I didn't expect because i was under the impression that the refurbished models didn't come with the knobs. This is per the description that Amazon gave for this model. When it arrived I unpacked it and set it up. The mixer looked new without any blemishes. The setup was pretty straightforward but putting the bowl on and off takes a little practice. I ran the appliance for five minutes on each setting to make sure it operated properly. (NOTE) the settings are numbered 0 - 10 but the switch operates by two's. So I ran it for 25 minutes. I even conducted the dime test to make sure the attachments were operating correctly. After all of that I turned it over to the wife. She then began to go on a mixing marathon preparing bread, dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, butter and whipped cream. Using the three attachments that were provided with the mixer without any problems. Not a bad deal and I am satisfied thus far. My advise is to do your homework and good luck

Lots to say
By CB on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2020
I did a lot of research on refurbished KitchenAid mixers and thought it was worth a try to save $200. I bought mine from Always Quality (listed as "always quality"). First of all, unimpressed with the seller and shipping. I placed my order on May 14 and received message that my package had shipped. "Great," I thought. It ended up not being received by FedEx until May 18, four days later. On May 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25th I received messages that my package was "Out for Delivery." I finally received it on May 25th, and, oddly enough, the tracking number still shows that it's out for delivery. I tried to contact the seller twice to see where my package might be and got crickets. Nothing. Anyway, it arrived and it is flawless looking. Really beautiful. I read that the whisk attachment was turning peoples' food gray so I made a paste of baking soda and water and rubbed the whisk wires by hand and that removed the debris that was on the surface. The other two attachments seem to be fine. The black knobs are on the speed lever, the lever near the front (where attachments go) but not on the lever used to raise the bowl. It's not a big deal to me and not obvious. I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies today and it worked well. The motor is loud, sometimes not so loud, sometimes quite loud, and behaves that way at every speed. For this reason, I would not order one of these as a gift. I know it's loud, but I saved $200 so I can live with that. It mixed the dough well. I have yet to try bread dough because, thanks to COVID-19, grocery stores have been sold out for weeks. I'm cautiously optimistic that the mixer will be able to handle it. It short, I paid $279 for a KitchenAid Pro 600 that looks flawless but is loud. I will feel better about it when I "put it through the ringer," which will need to be soon to stay within warranty. I saved the box for a possible return. I saved over $200 so overall, I feel I have reason to be cautiously optimistic and pleased with the savings. The more I use it, the more confident I'll be. Looks great on my counter. Would not buy as a gift.
