Our Kitchenaid has been working quietly and cleaning well for about 3 years. We went in on a sale and after checking features asked if the price could be negotiated. Even with the sale, that ask earned us $50 more off. We had a Kitchenaid at our old home that was almost 30 years old. We replaced it when we remodeled the kitchen. We bought a Kitchenaid then, too. They do a great job. We bought a basic model.
