Got the 7-qt lift mixer for Christmas but worries the arms holding the bowl feel a little loose, though they do not wiggle.

Bought the new 7qt for $450 and likes the attachments and spiral dough hook, but their wife says it groaned under some heavy dough.
Tested their KSM70 with an oscilloscope and found it runs on phase-chopped AC rather than the advertised DC; build quality, gearbox and board are top notch, quieter at low speed but louder at top speed than their DC model.
Finds the new 7 qt great for cakes and buttercream and uses the half speed often, but it is already leaking oil and gets hot faster than their older mixer.
