Are all the gears in this mixer metal? I had a Kitchenaid mixer that was bought at a big box store. It lasted for 20 years but it had a plastic gears that wore out. I want to get my son a Kitchenaid but want the mixer to have all metal gears like my new Kitchenaid.

Idkd95,

They have gone back to metal gears. The plastic ones just weren't holding up well. I had my first KA for about 30 years..metal gears. It finally gave up, so I bought a new one. That one lasted only 3 years. We did our research and found it had plastic gears and of course it was way out of warranty. We bought our 3rd one with a guarantee from KA that they had gone back to metal gears. Sure enough, my handy hubs opened it up to make sure and all of the gears were metal.
