Title: Junk Electronic Speed Control
Review: Hi,When it is working, this appliance is great, but in the last 3 years, I had to replace the electronic speed control three times. The funny thing is that KitchenAid, doesn't even carry it as a spare part, (I guess they would rather sell you a new mixer all over again :) )The first time, I really did scramble to find one from a third party and it cost me U$ 67.00 with shipping.Speed control #2 did last a little less than a year and I just had to replace it again.This last year, my wife used the mixer maybe 5 times. This time, I got speed control #3through Amazon.com for U$ 38.00.The electronic on this mixer is made from the cheapest components money can buy; it seems to degrade slowly by itself even if it isn't being used.....It is a far cry from the rugged unit KitchenAid is marketing. Good news; 2 years after installing unit #3 our mixer is still going...
