Great way to get a KA, but with a couple caveats!
I ordered a reconditioned KA Professional 500 Plus mixer in metallic chrome. What I received was instead a KA Professional Heavy Duty mixer in metallic chrome. Both the 500 Plus and the HD have 5 quart bowls, all-metal gears, etc. Both are high-quality mixers and, either way, are a great deal at the Amazon price. That said, there are some small differences between the models and I was disappointed not to receive the Professional 500 Plus I'd been expecting. I am writing this review because after I received my mixer, found cases of people receiving the wrong thing from Amazon even as far back as 2005/6. I guess they aren't going to fix the discrepancy between the SKU number and product name.
The Pro 500 Plus has a wide bowl, while the Pro HD has a narrow bowl. The wider bowl makes it easier to add ingredients without spilling them all over the place or needing a pouring shield. However, some people find that the narrower bowl of the HD works better for mixing very...
Excellent Mixer
This is, indeed, a heavy-duty mixer. I received it quickly and it works great. However, it is VERY heavy and tall. You need a counter top that will accommodate the heighth so you do not have to move it to use it. Also, for anyone with an older home it requires a three-pronged outlet. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with this mixer.
SUPER Deal!!
I read everyones review on this refurbished mixer and some in other colors before deciding to buy. After reading them all I decided to take the plunge. I got it pretty quick and it is immaculate. Not a scratch on it. Came with all three beater attachments. I have the smaller mixer and wanted to upgrade for the power and larger bowl capacity. This one sure has it. I am glad I stumbled on this refurbished deal. Someone wrote in their review that returned items are put through a pretty thorough process before they can resell them as refurbished. I think that is a super point!!
