What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Kitchenaid is reliable, durable, and functional. Incredible number of functions. The possibilities are endless. Only one complaint.
The bowl moves up and down to the blade, as opposed to the head that tilts up. The bowl fits securely on the mixer even when kneading dough.
The pro 500 plus comes with the typical kitchenaid coated white attachments, while the pro hd has the burnished attachments. The pro hd is a special mixer made for the warehouse clubs (costco and sam's club) the new color line is fantastic - the blue ... Read More

Competitiveness
