Costco also sells a professional 6qt Professional 600 Design Series with a glass bowl for 300, plus a $50 mail in rebate. Its beautiful, but the glass bowl is very heavy I think, and the reviews are not good due to the mixer not passing the dime test/uneven mixing. Should I keep the Ultra Power, or take a chance at the Professional? I worry about the uneven mixing, and the weight of the bowl. It might deter me from using it as often? As for the ultra power, I worry about longevity. I would make a loaf or two of bread a week.

Good to know, and thank you.

But for six years, Kitchenaid weas cheap Chinese JUNK!! And that terse article said they were moving only their mixer manufactiriong back to the U.S.! What about their Kitchenaid A9 Coffee Mills, which I had to buy an old 1940's model made in Troy Ohio off Ebay to avoid the cheap Chinese JUNK syndrome?
