It does not seem as sturdy as my old mixer that is 18 years old. The outer part of the lift handle fell off the first time I used it.  The motor seems to stop when mixing one batch of bread dough.  This surprised me since it is a 7qt mixer and my older mixer (4.5qt 300w) can do it better.  Over all just not impressed and frankly a little disappointed. Not sure if mine is a dud or these mixers have lost quality since my last purchase 18 years ago.
