This worked great for redoing the shower/bathtub of my kid's bathroom. ru-vid.comUgkxfiuHoZJo3bgdVPFRxQ-iqPpfbEHl2cYt I didn't like the guide, so I took it off. I just used a fine tipped sharpie on the tile and followed that line. It does make a wet mess, and once I started looking like I wet myself I started wearing a towel and apron while cutting. The blade it came with worked great until we wore it out. It was better than the replacement one we bought. I tried looking for just their blade, but failed. Not really for larger tiles unless you stack stuff on either side to support the tiles. Anyway, would definitley buy again.
My first KitchenAid did have the beater meet the bowl, but the newer ones do not. I was told that they had litigation problems because of it. You know how that goes. Someone caught their hair or necktie in the beater. 🤷♀️
I was able to adjust the beater on my Pro 600 this past April! Thanks for the Helpful Tip on how to adjust the beater height on these Professional Bowl Lift Stand Mixers!
If your height adjustment doesn’t change the distance between the paddle and the bowl there might be a mechanical problem with it. Also, hearing your 600 run made me think you have bigger problems. Watch “Mr. Mixer” and listen to some of the mixers after he has fixed them. The only noise my K45 Classic makes is the fan/air noise from the motor. No whining. He also has an after market spring/washer fix where the paddle attaches to the shaft. Apparently this was removed in 2016 for some reason. My K45 has it as it is much older. I wouldn’t think displacing the paddle off it’s locked position to “lower” it would be good. If you do that often maybe that’s why the gears in your 600 make a whining noise. Check out Mr. Mixer, he is the be all and end all to keeping our beloved machines in good shape. He has many good tips.
Thanks Marty, I will check him out. The 600 is the 3rd kitchenaid that I have owned. They all whined while pushing bread dough around. I never thought anything of it. Thanks again!
Yes the washers do work. But better than that. Turn the screw COUNTER CLOCKWISE instead of righty tighty. It will lift the bowl higher. The kitchen aid manual gave the wrong procedure.
The screw on my mixer doesn't turn to the left at all. 🤷♀️ A better washer to use would be rubber washers, but we used what we had in the garage. One thing is certain, they don't make them like they used to!
Wow! I’m watching this video three years after posting. I just got a new kitchen aid and this advice is fantastic! Exactly what I needed. Thank you for your effort to make this video!!!
Thanks for sharing the tips. I think we all have the same problem. Why don’t kitchen fix the problem themselves as this is very common problem. Earlier I had a smaller bowl there was absolutely no problem.😢. I used to be great kitchen aid fan. But now no more. When I moved to a new house and decided to buy all new appliances of kitchen aid, but unfortunately within a year or two, one after another appliances all stopped working. I would never suggest anyone to go for kitchen aid
I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with KitchenAid products. You aren't alone. I still like my mixer, but for anything heavy, like bread dough, I use a Bosch mixer. KitchenAid mixers can't handle the weight. 😖
@@ninainthekitchen1455 I highly appreciate your tips. I use it for kneading the dough for bread. I have replaced my dishwasher with Bosch. No more kitchen aid.
Thank you, thank you thank you! The traditional way that Kitchen Aid suggests wasn't enough for me. Mine simply wasn't working right and wasn't working using the dime method. I had the idea to use washers, but thought maybe that wouldn't work, and then you suggest it; confirming my own idea. lol.... Thank you.
My KA is worthless. It doesn't scrape the sides or bottom. I'll give these hacks a try. BUT mylanta! A mixer that costs hundreds of dollars should just WORK. I never recommend kitchen aid. They are overpriced pieces of junk.
I have had my pro mixer since 1989. It dosen't have the adjustment screw on the back. I did the dime test and guess what? The dime didn't move. I never knew how to mix it. I placed the washers on the arm pins and voila, problem solved! Thank you so much! 😁
Thank you for your video. I'll try it in a min. The other problem I have with my Professional 6000 HD is if I try to use one of the spades with the rubber edge on it, it jams against the side of the bowl as if the osilation pattern is wrong. Any ideas there? Thanks again.
Hi K, thanks for writing, and for the info about the rubber edged paddle attachment. From your description, I have to wonder if it's the wrong attachment for the 6000. Call KitchenAid and ask them about it. Please let us know what they say.
This is by far the worse mixer I have ever used. We bought this for $599 a year ago and had used in for less than one year and the roller stopped turning while the motor is still running. I waited a month to bring into repairs due to Covid and the holidays and the warranty had just expired. They told me this is a known problem and repair cost comes to $400+. Because the warranty expired they are not covering it. What a SCAM!! If this is a known problem, why did they focused on the marketing in selling a colourful and fancy looking mixer to the public instead of engineering a good quality mixer and fixing the inherent problem??? I will never buy another KitchenAid product ever again and will tell everyone I know to do the same. Shame on you kitchenScam!
I agree with you. Because of everything that you said, I now own 3 mixers. The KitchenAid, a Bosch and a hand-held Breville. I purchased the KitchenAid because of making videos. That is a familiar mixer to most people.
Thanks for writing, and people have mentioned that, but the screw on my mixer doesn't turn counterclockwise at all. The mixers at work do, however, that did nothing. It was so long ago that I don't remember what KitchenAid said about it.
Kitchenaid has at least 4 different models. The 4 quart tilt head is the smallest, and the only one where the head moves. The rest all have crank. One for every need!
The problem is not with the mixer, the problem is with the bowl. Every time you snap it into place you put a little more downward pressure and every time you load that bowl up with dough the blades are pushing down. Hence, they are causing the ears of the bowl to bow upwards and the bowl to get further from the blade. Bend the ears on the bowl downward, problem solved on everyone's mixer.
@volganashahbazi My first KitchenAid mixed the bowl much better than these newer mixers. I don't understand the reason behind designing a beater that doesn't mix the bowl. Everyone has this issue. Other than that, it is a great kitchen appliance to have. I hope that you enjoy your mixer for a very long time.
The thread does not work that way on my mixer. Other people have written the same thing so I actually tried it and if I turn to the left it won't move at all.🤷♀️
I would think one could figure out a way to keep the washers stuck on the pins without them getting lost... Also, I would be concerned the paddle loosened and set down in the bowl would wear out the bottom of the bowl / wear the beater. I do like the ideas though!!!
Hi T, there are rubber washers that will stay on the pins. I just wanted to demonstrate that it was a very common item. Even we (someone with no handyman skills) had them in our garage. At the time that I made this video, I worked as a chef i n a professional kitchen, I would not trust that anything as small as a washer would remain with the mixer for very long. There are too many hands involved. We actually lost an inversion blender because someone on the kitchen staff clean-up crew didn't know that the head detached from the base. You know, the thing with an electric cord... hello! 😂 Lastly, I can assure you that I would never recommend anything that does harm to kitchen equipment. I have used these methods for years without any problem.
I need help with the attachments to make spaghettisauce. I can't figure how to put it together. My husband did this. He passed away in May this year. I lost. Book doesn't help. HELP.
