Question: I have a kitchen aid professional 6 mixer with a 6 qt bowl. The bowl looks like the one I have, but after reading comments, I am unsure. Help, please
Document: I love my professional Kitchen Aid mixer. It does exactly what I want it to do. The only problem is that when you have only one mixing bowl, it is hard to do a double batch, especially of very touchy dough's such as brioche. I was making two batches of brioche, and the recipe warned against doubling, so I mixed them up manually, in glass bowls. Never again. At various points, the dough gets very thick.
Cannot say enough good things about Kitchen Aid and the quality of their products. This is my second 6 quart mixing bowl for my stand mixer. The first one is now 18 years old and still in perfect condition.
Easy to use with ergonomic handle. Very sturdy. Fits the Costco 5.5 professional kitchen aid stand mixer wide mouth bowl.
If you own the KitchenAid Professional 575-watt 5.5 Qt Mixer sold at your local Costco, and are looking for a second bowl THIS is the one for you. I bought this bowl as a gift; well actually I had purchased, returned, searched and cursed at the first bowl that was said to fit this mixer, resorting to finally seeking the advice of a Kitchenaid representative. Look no further- this is the bowl.
Having two bowls means less down time when you are doing a lot of baking. Throw one in the dishwasher and get started on your next batch right away.NOTE: these bowls are not supposed to rust but it can happen. The bowl that came with my stand mixer rusted even though I handwashed and dried it after the first use. A google search told me that this is a common problem. I called up Kitchen Aid and they sent out a new bowl right away.
I gave 2 star not because the bowl is not good, actually the quality is just the same as the KitchenAid mixer original bowl. The problem is this 6-qt doesn't fit the one I recently brought from Costco. So beware of it. Thanks for Amazon I could return it for return right away.
NOT GOOD, KITCHENAID. One more thing, if you are shopping for a mixer, take note that although it's almost twice the price, the 8 Qt. mixer clearly has a much better motor (the sound difference is akin to that between a lawn mower and a Rolls Royce) and the difference in the quality of the attachments (they're solid stainless steel in the 8 qt. model) is substantial. Lastly, I gave this bowl ONE star because it simply doesn't fit my 6 quart mixer.
I have the KA 600Pro and I got this additional bowl about 6 months later. I have to say, I use it more than any of the other accessories I purchased for my mixer. It is exactly like the one that came with my mixer - the quality is superb. Heavy stainless steel with a very comfortable handle. Especially for the holidays, the extra bowl makes using your mixer even more of a pleasure. I often make dough in one and simply let it rise right in the bowl.
Exact fit replacement (or spare) for the Kitchenaid 6 qt stand mixer. Now I do not have to immediately clean my lone bowl to whip up something else when cooking multiple recipes.
TAKE NOTE that there is much confusion about which bowl fits which mixer and there is some misinformation reported in online reviews. For example, I ordered this bowl because another Amazon reviewer stated that this bowl did fit their 6 Qt. mixer. If that reviewer was correct, then there must be other models of the 6 Qt. mixer that have the wider 8 Qt. arm on them.
Answer: It works on the 6 quart.  I have the exact same mixer and this one works fine.  Just don't get it from the supplier that I did.  Packaging was terrible.
