    I hear ya. The KitchenAid stand mixers are still tanks though. I have one that’s a couple years old. I abuse it a lot. It cares not.

      Hobart KitchenAid mixers are tanks. Everything made after Hobart sold KitchenAid to Whirlpool is crap in comparison.

          I agree, I have a Whirlpool version and it’s still a tank. I think some of the criticism comes from the fact that the newer mixers use a plastic sacrificial gear, which is designed to fail before the motor. Other than that, they are virtually identical to the Hobart version (you can buy parts from KitchenAid/Whirlpool to repair/restore a Hobart mixer)

        Nonsense. I drive my Whirlpool Kitchenaid hard and I’ve never had an issue. But they are still easy to repair. And still made in Ohio. Besides some tweaks, there’s not that much difference.
