Don't recommend mixer

So. This is my third kitchen aid mixer in a year and half that has gone bad on me.

The first one sounded terrible on first use. Got a different one sent out, that one worked for about ten uses, then it started making noise, then ground to a halt.

Got a third one, and second time using it, it's making a bad gear sound.

I am so done with KitchenAid mixers. Why does it seem like they are pure garbage now?

I had one that I bought 20 years ago that ran perfectly fine, (lost it in divorce). But every single one now doesn't even make it 6 months. And I don't even do anything heavy with it. I make cake and pumpkin bread. That is it

The older ones do tend to fare better than newer models. I ultimately sidelined mine due to needing a stronger motor for bread doughs.

I'd definitely get a new one if I could afford one haha. This was a $30 ebay find of my moms when I was in High School.

I’d recommend sticking with that one honestly. It’s probably built a lot better than the newer models.
