Classic Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

Their four-year-old Classic 4.5 qt, used often for two years then stored, now gives off a slight burning smell making cookies.

Having owned both, they say the Classic is clearly not as robust as the Artisan.

Their entry 4.5 qt 300 W tilt-head has worked for 7 years, cream on speed 10 and bread on 2, but speeds 9 and 10 now run the same.
