I’ve had my mixer for 1year, this is my 3rd kitchen aid mixer and this part which I don’t use as often as I use the hook has broken in half all 3 times! This after using maybe 10times it’s sad to see how much more it cost to replace! Btw are ur mixers only made to last a year???  I’m disappointed kitchen aid use to be the best out there but if I could I would get my money back and stick with ninja
