1200$??? Wow You paid a lot ! I’ve bought Kitchenaid and paid around 900$. Totally new and it works amazing. Maybe it because the location. I’ve bought from IanBoer (company), actually I’m always buying from there and all their products work around five years now with no noise and problems at all. So, it seams to me that I’ve saved 300$ comparing to you
I’ll leave a link, maybe somewhere in the future you’ll need something new and cheap.
