Why doesnt it have a metal gearbox?

I don't know for sure. Perhaps it has to do with how the mechanism works, or perhaps metal wasn't feasible. Either way, I'm still very pleased with the overall product. It's a durable and realistic replica.

It's metal, but the problem is the screws going into the head come loose constantly so you have to take the head apart to tighten them. If you don't have a hex wrench on you, you're screwed.

If you asking about the metal click, I believe so. My memory is biased by the fact that the wheel arrived as cracked apart. I just tossed it back in the box and shipped it back for refund.

yeah I can answer your question. I just received mine from amazon about a wek or so ago. I was a amazon vote winner. I contacted Kitchenaid, and they told me my mixer was made in August of this year. All mixers made after april of 2007 have metal gearboxes. Read my review.

Maybe people don't get the memo.... Use an m2 (i think) metric bolt, it should have a 4mm head on it.

It does. It's in the middle where you see that black box. It has four gears and you can adjust with a lever horizontally. Any gear is too fast for me though due to rear-drive's big wheel and its rotation. Next time I still want a front-wheel drive because it is easy to turn just by lifting the front wheels. Hope that helps.

It is made out of plastic. The only metal parts are the crank and the disks. All of the gears are also made of plastic. The one I purchased worked fine for a few times, but then one of my children cranked too hard and stripped the plastic gears.

http://www.totalvac.com/waring.html You can see in the parts guide the gears are metal and are available as a spare part. I have used the blender frequently (twice daily for 6 months so far) , but can't wholly attest to its future life span. I just bought another one for my son, who just bought an apartment and he uses it as well.

Don't know if it has a warranty. My experience has been that it is its own warranty. Make sure you buy the one that has all metal gears.

You can buy metal gears separately for $10. We had one with the regular hard (plastic?) gears they come with, lasted a few years

On most Kitchenaid mixers, all the gears are metal except for one nylon gear. This gear is made to break if the mixer is overloaded or if an object keeps the paddle from moving. It is designed this way to save the motor from damage. It is fairly easy and inexpensive to replace the one gear than to replace the motor.

It has pretty heavy duty metal gears. Now that I have used it for a couple months, I would not give it up.

I did buy one but after doing further research decided not to fit it. Most of the advice was they can potentially stress the gearbox.

Yes, all metal gears.One thing you do have to make sure of is when you are thru using the Rotisserie motor is that you remove it so with subsequent Grilling and it is not needed you do this.... No motor can handle the repeated heat.I had to modify my mounting and spit to use this motor.... Been working great for a couple of years and I use it a lot.

No it not it have some metal stack plates and showing some copper in the side of the motor.

It matters more on the spokes. The more spokes, the greater the explosion it's gonna have to push back the piston. The platinum material also helps by being a better conduit and of its ions for the electricity it carries.
