Product Description
Product Description
The Professional 5 Plus has a powerful 450-watt motor that delivers enough power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mixes large batches easily. This special bowl lift model has brackets on the bowl that fit over support pins on the stand mixer, which is than lifted up by a handle on the right side of the mixer to lock the bowl in place while mixing (this design is made to handle heavy mixtures and large recipes). The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl is dishwasher safe. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable. This mixer also features a unique mixing action: the beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise, moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This distinctive mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl. 10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job, from very high to a very slow stir. The flat beater, dough hook, and professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. In addition, the Soft Start mixing feature helps prevent ingredient splash-out and "flour puff" at startup, while "Overload Reset" helps eliminate overheating of the motor. A hinged hub cover flips up, allowing easy installation of attachments and never leaves the mixer. Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.

Thirty percent more powerful than KitchenAids previous 5-quart stand mixers, this professional model efficiently tackles heavy loads with its 450-watt motor, direct-drive all-steel gear transmission, and bowl-lift lever that effortlessly raises heavy ingredients up to the beater. KitchenAid stand mixers, constructed of durable die-cast metal, come in a variety of colors and styles that have become American classics.
With a choice of ten speeds and three attachments--flat beater, spiral dough hook, and stainless-steel wire whip--the mixer handles everything from egg whites to meat loaf to pizza dough. Rather than rotating the bowl, KitchenAid stand mixers feature a fixed bowl with a unique mixing action: the beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter-clockwise, thus projecting the beater to 67 different points inside the 5-quart stainless-steel bowl. In deference to its power, the Soft-Start feature prevents splashing and flour clouds by gearing up to each speed gradually; then the electronic speed sensor kicks in to maintain a constant speed even when mixing the thickest batter. The bowl features a handle as well as two pins that hook into the lifting mechanism, which consists of a solid metal arm the same color as the mixer and a stainless-steel lever. A hinged attachment hub makes changing attachments easy. For safety, the mixer shuts down if an object obstructs the mixing process or if overloading occurs. The bowl, beater, and dough hook are dishwasher-safe. Assembled in Ohio, the mixer measures 16-1/2 by 12 by 14 inches and is backed by a hassle-free, one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Traditionally, We've always done Pizza dough 'by hand' in our home. (That's what we learned, way back in the '70s.) And recently, we've started to make our own bread in an effort to avoid unwanted preservatives (primarily, bromate) and to create some more healthier breads. We started with our typical recipe for Pizza Dough, which would make a couple of 8 - 10 inch pizzas, but the same quantities of flour and other ingredients would only make a single loaf of bread. I can't describe to you what a surprise it was to make a 'double batch' so we could bake two loafs at a time, rather than just one. But we did succeed and the bread came out just fine. Reflecting back, however, it was (as all the more modern people might be able to tell you in a matter of seconds) a whole lot of work.
Well since that time, we've been working toward getting some kitchen tools to help out. And the main one is the KitchenAid Pro 5 Plus.
I did some looking around, but my brother has a beautiful Artisan, I believe, and he's been super happy with that. But, realizing what a job it is to do a couple of loaves of bread, and appreciation for a little bit of 'over-engineering' for what you need to give your machine a bit of extra longevity, I wanted a little bit bigger machine. On the other hand, I'm not running a restaurant, or a bakery, so I didn't want to buy a machine that was way too big for what I needed. (Otherwise, I would be looking at a Hobart).
So, with our successful family experience with KitchenAid and my own tendency toward a bit of over-engineering, as well as a bit of experience (a long, long, long time ago) in the bakery industry and food industry, lead me to select the Pro 5 Plus.
I didn't buy one of these, blind. I checked out a lot of "You Tube" videos, including what they are like new, where they break and what it takes to fix them. I can tell you, though, I'm totally impressed with the fact that you can actually buy the parts off the shelf and fix them yourself, with just a bit of mechanical ability. My kind of "Good Stuff".
Out of the box, and on the table, and working, I'm already so impressed! And I'm becoming endeared with the machine. (Yes! ... I think you can love a machine).
I have a few minor-minor-minor issues;
1) the machine didn't come with the 'shield'. Although, if you are careful, follow directions, and "CAREFULLY" control your speed, you can likely avoid splattering your hard work all over the place. But I went back and ordered one anyway. There was a "You Tube" video where the lady used a towel to cover, even over the 'splash shield'. (I also ordered the 'Cover' for the machine ... due to arrive tomorrow). AZ is, after all, a dusty place.
2) Some of the videos I viewed had a bowl with a bit beefier handle on the Stainless Steel Bowl. I was a bit disappointed in the handle that comes with the Pro 5 Plus, that it wasn't all that 'beefy'. It is stainless steel as well, and it's well done, but it's just kind of a flat piece of metal. Another video was a 'rant' where the case of the machine was cracked, which caused the gears to strip, and then, of course, it doesn't work right. But I can tell you, that my machine didn't arrive with any cracks. It was well packed, and operated incredibly well out of the box. But, time, only, will tell how it holds up.
3) The AC Power cord (120 VAC) is 4 ft. long. [If you need 220 VAC, you will likely need to obtain a 'step-down' transformer to convert 220 VAC to 120 VAC to make it work]. One of the most difficult things to decide when you are engineering a product is how long to make the cord. There are so many varying conditions to take into consideration. If it is too long, you have to figure out where in heck you are going to put all the extra cord. If it is too short, then it doesn't make it to the wall socket. ... Well, a 5 ft cord would have been 'just right' for me. But 4 ft is so much better than it would be if it was a 3 ft cord. ... "'nuff said"
I mention those issues so that you can curb your expectations to the proper degree, and if you want 'more' you can get something else (like the next model up???), but I'm willing to live with the minor-minor-minor shortcomings and maybe upgrade later, add an extension or whatever. But the minor-minor-minor issues are not enough, to me, to drop even half a star.
My closing impression, though, is that it is an incredible machine. I am so looking forward to using it to create some really, really good stuff! I hope it helps you in making your decision for whatever machine you buy.
Update 12-22-09: I just wanted to add that I recently made a coconut cream pie and used my Kitchenaid stand mixer to make the best whipped cream ever! I wanted to make a nice stiff whipped cream to top this pie, and this mixer made the best whipped cream in just a minute or two.
NOTE: I had to adjust my mixing time and baking time for the cakes I always make for people (birthdays, special occasions, etc.) because they were coming out a little dry at first. I started cutting the mixing time in half (or basically as soon as all of the ingredients were thoroughly combined) then checking the cake earlier, and I found that I have cut a least 5 - 10 minutes off of the original baking time; then they are moist & delicious!
