Title: Shoddy
Review: My wife and I received this mixer as a Christmas gift in 2004. Not 5 years later, it no longer works. First the gears would spin but not the mixer. Then it would not turn on. This isn't a lifetime item like you might think. This isn't an isolated incident either. There have been many consumer complaints over Kitchen Aid's decision to use cheap plastic gears and other poorly made internal parts. The outside is definitely sturdy and attractive but the insides are result of KitchenAide cutting corners to save a few dollars. What a waste!Don't listen to the short time owners. Yes, it makes great cookie dough, for maybe 4 or 5 years. After that, it's very large door stop.
