I am glad to hear that it will fit. I was thinking about getting a 7 quart bowl but I will have to try the bowl from the Pro 600.

Yes, it will save you some money. Enjoy your Black Friday haul, it is impressive..

+Justin Johnson I love the KA as well...even tho the Bosch is a nice mixer that can probably beat it head-to-head on bread dough...I still love KA!

I bought a 5qt bowl for mine. To do smaller batches.

How is it holding up? I got my commercial refurbished for 400$ delivered to my doorstep which I think is a robbery

@@Kevin-sy8uf It’s doing great. No sign of slowing down or wearing out. I think mine cost around the same as yours, but it’s been well worth it. And the spiral dough hook is soooo much better than the one that came with my Classic. I hope you have a great experience with yours.

@@jamesbrown8766 glad to hear that! If it will last you a lifetime then I rather have the quiet one :)

Yes. They have DC motors. It is one reason why they are quieter.

I had a KSM 6Qt that had a DC motor before I upgraded to the KSM 8Qt commercial. You must pay attention to the item number to ensure your 3.5, 5, 6, or 7 has a DC motor.

+eddiesadat Thanks! I always knew the Pro 600 was loud but after doing this test...I was amazed! I've heard from others that the Pro 600 is really loud and now I definitely believe it.

I am glad it helped Martha! There is a link in the description to this mixer on Amazon. If you get one, please let me know how you like it!

+FitAnge S Hey Angie, thanks for watching. Yeah, Amy's excited to use this thing. It definitely is quieter than the Pro 6's that we have.

+Teri Muncy I really like my Bosch. Eric was thinking about putting some suction cups on the bottom to see if it would help with the moving around issue. I wonder if it would work.

+imiKah K I am glad to hear that you like it! I am working on some bread and roll recipes. I will have them up soon! Thanks for watching!

Thank you I look forward to them xo

+Bonnie Fanning You and I are just alike!! I have the Classic Plus, the K5 Professional 5 quart, a Pro 6, an Epicurean 6 quart which is pretty much the Pro 600, and now this commercial. I am a KA freak I tell you!!! What is worse is I also got a Breville Stand Mixer half off at the WS outlet mall last week...and I also have a Bosch. One day they will haul me away for having all these mixers! LOL!

+Nicola Straw Thanks! I can't wait to use it!

@@AmyLearnsToCook Count me in. I'l take the wine gals!!

I believe the motor on the Proline 7 and the Commercial 8 are the same hp.

You can buy an 8 quart bowl for your Pro-Line 7 for $75.00 on Amazon, probably even less than that on other sites. It pays to shop around. You're good to go!

+Glenn Miller I would be a good candidate! LOL! I hae 5 mixers can you believe it?? We will see how this one performs against the others...I can't wait to use it this upcoming weekend.

+AmyLearnsToCook Only five stand mixers? Are you sure?

+Glenn Miller "Mixer Hoarders - Buried Alive". Yup! Amy's opening a Foodie Museum. LOL!!!

+Eric Learns to Cook Well 5 KA anyway LOL!

They did call. Wants Amy to buy 5 more mixers and see if they can bury her alive. Wants some drama for the show. :-)

+Tressa Daigle Thanks Tressa!

I can check tonight when I get home from work. I've heard that the 7 quart bowl fits on the 8 quart but I have never tried it. The best thing to do is go on the kitchenaid website and hit their chat function. You can chat with a rep from kitchenaid. They would know best if the Pro 600 bowl will fit the 8 quart.

The 5 quart bowl on my KitchenAid Pro 5 Plus will work with my Commercial 8 perfectly. So the bowl from a Pro 600 should also work on the Proline 7, since both the Commercial 8 and Proline 7 share the same chassis.

Do you mean the KitchenAid ice cream maker? I don't think it will work on the Commercial 8.

+Christopher Shannon Thanks Christopher! I was totally surprised at how loud the Pro 600 is against the commercial mixer. I always knew it was loud because my K5 is much quieter but I didn't realize how much louder until I put them side by side. I am going to do another test with a bread recipe and these two mixers to see if the extra cost of the commercial is worth it.

Amy crazy? nahhhhhhh!!!!! Well, maybe. Glad you enjoyed.

I am not sure. I do know that the bowl from the proline 7 qt will fit on the 8 qt. The best way to find out what will fit is to go to Kitchenaid's website and use their chat feature. They are really helpful!

You would be surprised at what you can do with a 7 quart bowl. It may sound big, but you can do surprisingly small batches with one. And yes, smaller bowls are available for the Proline 7. A 5 quart bowl for a Commercial 8, will work with a Proline 7.

@@AmyLearnsToCook Do you think the 8 qt bowl will fit in the 7 qt mixer too?

I am not sure. I would call KitchenAid and ask them to make sure it is compatible.

@@GpD79: I once had a Pro 5 Plus, and its bowl would fit on the Commercial 8. And the bowl from the Commercial 8 would fit my Pro 5 Plus perfectly. So yes, you should be able to fit an 8 quart bowl on your 7 quart KitchenAid. The Commercial 8, Pro-Line 7, and Pro 600 share the same chassis. The motor and gear case assembly on the Pro-Line 7 and Commercial 8 is the biggest difference when you step up from a Pro 600. The video clearly illustrates this.

+Nannerchan I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I am planning on testing it out this weekend on some bread dough. The price is significantly hire on Amazon but I am hoping that I will not have as many issues with the power. I will let you know...I am planning on doing a video as soon as I have a chance to test it.

+Tressa Daigle Thanks Tressa! I can't wait to try it out!

+David Lloyd Miller No...I've never commented on the KitchenAid website. Mine is still going strong. I recently did a video on it. You can see it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJeGrNB4vMnPdp8.html

+Nathaniel Aranda I am looking forward to using this new mixer! I can't wait to see what it can do!

Hi Katie! If you plan to make a lot of bread, I would take a look at the Ankarsum or the Bosch. I don't have much experience with baking for a lot of people. How many loaves of bread would you be making per week?

Hi Tim! It takes all the regular KA attachments that go on the hub. The paddle, dough hook, and whip are specific for this model.

+elrabbitsbbq Thanks Manny! I can't wait to use it this weekend!

+AmyLearnsToCook hi Amy I am a fan

Hi Amy can you get splash gard for it with pouring sprout fan from new Zealand

+chk hum ga zhan szm hum ga zhan Thanks for watching and commenting. This should be 'soon'. We are in the process of filming (and should have editing completed this week) a battle between the 5 quart KA Artisan and Breville 5 quart mixer. I believe Amy wants to make bread with the KA commercial soon.

+chk hum ga zhan szm hum ga zhan It is on the way! I tested a recipe that I wasn't totally happy with so I am working on it. I am currently shooting another Stand Mixer Challenge between the Breville and the KitchenAid Artisan. It will be up in a few days. Then up next is the Commercial 8. Stay tuned!! Thanks for watching!

The Commercial 8 has solid stainless attachments where the Pro Line 7 are painted. The Commercial 8 also has a stainless post assembly. It is NSF certified for commercial kitchens and has an available bowl guard that is required in many commercial environments.

There is a version that comes with the safety guard. I ordered one without it because I am not using it in a commercial settings. It makes it harder to add ingredients without stopping and opening the cage.

@@AmyLearnsToCook that is what i am talking about. There is another attachment to add ingredients without lifting the gard. Or cage.

+ap bxny You can order it without the cage.

+Barbara Smith Mine looks pretty shiny. It is definitely stainless steel. I think they have a number you can call for the warranty department. Maybe they will send you another one.

+AmyLearnsToCook : I called them last week and i already received our replacement bowl (fits the ss-pegs better than the first one that came with the mixer) And the SS-whisk is also being replaced. (Not here just yet)... ty

Probably not. If you have one from the Proline 7, it might fit.

Probably about 7.5.

+mark fontaine I'll just comment on the second part of your post. I will give Amy 10 stars on the BLT sandwich she made for me for dinner tonight. It was great. As always, thanks for watching our videos and adding your witty comments; we love it!

+mark fontaine Thanks Mark! We shot this video late at night and I was really tired. When I watching it back I can see in my face how tired I was....I can't wait to use the mixer. I am going to try it out this upcoming weekend by making some bread.

+Eric Learns to Cook ERIC, ERIC, ERIC, TUT TUT TUT :) TWO rules u LEARN in life pal :) rule 1.W.O.M.E.N. R.U.L.E rule number 2 = see rule number 1 :) im guessing u ant quite worked out who wears the trousers round your pad , give it time :)

+AmyLearnsToCook why do i get the hunch your house is turning in to a " kitchen aid" show home :/

+mark fontaine I'm still married. I figured out rule 1 (and rule 2) at some point, but I definitely get your drift. LOL!

I've never used the 7qt. I hear it works pretty good. Love the 8 qt.

A Commercial 7? or and 8? It really depends on the condition.

@@AmyLearnsToCook sorry it's a pro 7

I would go look at it and see the condition. It is a great price but it could be beat up. Run it and listen to the motor. Make sure it sounds ok and doesnt get hot or miss speeds. Also see how clean it is particularly in the cracks and crevices. This will be an indication that it was heavily used and not cared for. Do you know the person who is selling it or is it just a random seller?

Its a random seller. I could always take a friend with me to go check it out

Yeah I would be careful. You don't know how beat up it is.

+Barbara Smith There is a metal piece in the back that the bowl has to be pushed under in order for it to lock into place and be level. The bowl should sit on the two side posts on the arms and then be snapped under the metal piece. In the video, I hadn't pushed it under it so the bowl was leaning forward.

+AmyLearnsToCook : Thanks Amy... But do i really have to FORCE down so hard on it and does it get easier with wear? Also... Even the cone shaped-posts don't line up EXACTLY with the holes on the bowl...i also have to FORCE it back (on one side), in order for BOTH holes to line up exact. Only one goes on without a hitch. Is this "normal"/ Standard procedure? Are ALL KA mixers like that?? Or just the 8 QT? (Never owned one before but we got one because hubby wants to get a machine that could handle tough jobs ie KNEADING the dough for him when he makes homemade pizza dough. Maybe in one of your videos you could SHOW us exactly how to put this on even if you struggle a bit... so that the public can SEE it actually being done (by you) , so that those that buy one of these, don't get too freaked out by it and think their KA is defective. Since the unveiling of your unit... I have not been able to see any other NEW youtube videos, of yours...did i miss them? Or have you just not gotten around to it? By the way... Have you made a PIZZA DOUGH here on youtube with your stand mixer? If so...can you post for me here the link? ty

+Barbara Smith I think I have to force it down a little but it is not too bad. My goal is to shoot a video using it on Sunday so I will see how hard it is to push the bowl down. I've only used the mixer once since I bought it so off hand I am not sure...my other KA mixers are not too hard to get the bowl on. I've done a couple videos since I unboxed the KA Commercial. I recently did a test between the KA Artisan 5 quart and the Breville mixer. You should be able to find them using the second tab on the main page of my channel that says videos. I've posted a pizza dough recipe but it was using the bread machine. I haven't made it in a mixer yet...I plan to so I will let you know how it comes out.

+AmyLearnsToCook Hi Amy...THANK YOU for answering all my questions. KA sent me another stainless bowl for our 8-QT that actually fits the ss-pegs alot better than the 1st bowl, that came with the mixer. So far their Customer Service has been helpful : ) ty

+AmyLearnsToCook Am looking forward to watching FOOD recipes : ) was inspired last week to make my own FAJITA mix per your Southwestern Rice recipe. You should have your own show BECAUSE you teach as you go... I learned about long grain vs Short grain rice watching your video. I had not known that long grain was LESS sticky than short grain rice. Thanks Have you done any PIZZA DOUGH videos yet?? Curious

Do you have joint custody of one and someone is trying to take it away from you? I'd sue for sole custody.

LOL :)

I thought about re-homing my Pro 5 Plus when I got my Commercial 8, but I sort of backed down. I gave up custody of one of my Sunbeams instead. :D

+Kelly Hou It is available on Amazon. The price depends on the color that you choose. For some reason, the prices are different. I am planning on testing it this weekend and doing a video on it...so I can let you know how it performs.

It is better. It lasted a few days. Luckily Eric didn't get it. We had some snow over the weekend and now it is freezing! It was 15 degrees when I left for work this morning!!! I hope everything is going well for you and that you had a nice New Year!

1 Breville, 1 Kenwood, 1 Bosch, 1 Cuisinart, and KA's (4.5 qt, 5 qt Artisan, 5qt Pro, 6 qt Pro, 6 qt Epicurius, 8 qt commercial). I guess that puts us at 10, unless I'm forgetting something. Santa might drop-off 1 or 2 more around Xmas, but not sure right now. Yeah, if you have 12, then why not keep them all. Right?

Too many! LOL!

+Harvey Knight A have a couple...Well actually 6!

+AmyLearnsToCook is that just kitchenaid

+AmyLearnsToCook would you recommend getting a kitchen aid artisan because I've heard some bad reviews on them

+Harvey Knight Yeah...I have a Breville and Bosch as well.

+Harvey Knight I recently did a test of the Artisan vs. the Breville. The Artisan performed better but it definitely isn't for big jobs or bread dough. I like the mixer but I would agree that it is just for small jobs so it is not as useful as the larger ones.

Yes. I have both a KitchenAid Pro 600 and this Commercial 8 quart.

I believe the hub attachments are all compatible. I will awaken the Gadget Princess to get her official opinion. :-)

Yes, the hubs are all the same. Of course, only the motor power is different between the models (i'd be scared to use the grain crusher attachment on the 4.5 because it'd likely burn up that motor, but it would fit). KA even has a live chat to help you with these questions. Can you believe that?

é difícil sem um misturador

+Baackliinns I am testing recipes and I should have one up soon!

Liz, you got the link OK? if not, it might have got caught up in the filter and Amy will need to send to you.

This has a bigger bowl and is NSF certified so it can be used in a commercial setting.

@@AmyLearnsToCook you never said you were commercially baking and needed the 1 qt bigger bowl for what you do, my bad.

I dont bake commercially but that is the reason it is more expensive. This was not a comparison with the 7 quart. This video is about the 8 quart.

@@AmyLearnsToCook both are identical in power and the 7qt is up to 450$ cheaper so good enough for me..with the money I save I could buy most of the attachments so I am happy.
