Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check them out.

My wife wore out the motor in two of the 5qt 325w lift arm models made around 2000-ish. The first one stopped working a month after she got it. It’s replacement lasted 10 years or so until it stripped the nylon gear. I replaced the gear, but the motor just had no power after that and was unable to mix anything as stiff as cookie dough.

I see these recommended on BIFL fairly often. Are there heavier duty models available?
