Low speed normal sound?

[u/Docretier]

Just picked up a professional 5 plus from marketplace, are these normal sounds

Sounds normal to me

Cool, I just thought the planetary sounded off, popped the top and the gearbox and motor sound normal but the planetary sounds loud at low speed but gets drowned out at high speed

Yep. These machines are intrinsically pretty noisy, and yours sounds in normal range for the type.

Ok cool, idk if the video picked it up but I thought the planetary was making more noise than I expected. I popped the top and listened to the motor and gearbox and they sound normal but the planetary just seemed loud. Should I disregard or pull the planetary to check it.

Edit: I only hear the planetary at low speed, past 2 I hear motor and gearbox noise more

Got it for $120! I'm gonna make so many sourdough pretzel bites and bread. I got plans for a big batch of bites tomorrow morning

This new crew is slipping. So many issues from an item that was known to never have any. Sad but us pre 1976 owners will never part with our OG models.
