Got a good deal on a newer 5.5 qt bowl-lift but wouldn't buy it again knowing older bowl-lifts can be refurbished; still uses it for bread.

Bought a two-year-old KSM55 second-hand and found three of its internal gears had crumbled, needing a new motor.
Has had a KSM55 from Mr. Mixer for a year without an issue.
Bought a new 5.5 qt bowl-lift three years ago, uses it a couple of times a week and calls it a buy for life.
Happy with their 5.5 qt bowl-lift and its spiral dough hook, which works far better than the C hook, though no silicone-edged scraper they found would scrape its bowl properly.
Their KSM55 bought in October 2023 has developed vertical play in the beater shaft after a few years of heavy sourdough use.
Very happy with the 5.5 qt bowl-lift they bought last year; they make sourdough with it weekly, up to 1 kg of flour, with no issues.
Loves their 5.5 qt bowl-lift and has made many batches of cookies, loaves of bread and pizzas with it; not a purchase they regret.
Their first impression of a brand-new KSM55 bowl-lift was how loud the motor is.
