How good is the kitchen aid quality these days? When i did i course in machine elements during my engineering studies my professor said that his kitchen aid had broken down after a few years. When he opened up the machine he said that many parts were underdimensioned in witholding forces.

I got their measuring spoons and I freaking love them. The measurements are molded indents and they're light enough plastic that I'm not worried about being a little rough with them

I heard recently that if you buy Kitchen Aid, buy it directly from them off their website. That in order for them to make a profit on items sold through retailers, the quality for those batches had to be lowered, but the quality of the items through their site was much higher. I cannot say if that is true or not. But I bought a Kitchen Aid directly from them almost 11 years ago and use it multiple times per week. Have barely done any maintenance on it aside from occasional deep cleaning. Still works and looks just like new.
