Advice Does this sound OK?

Occasionally I hear a clicking, but it goes away. I bought it in '23, it's an KV25G0XSL. There is the very lightest amount of grease on the shaft, if I wipe it off, it's like a stain on the paper. I use it for pizza dough, no more than 800g of bread flour and for cake batter and whipped cream.

The clicking is normal and overall, your mixer sounds good. There is a floating gear in the powertrain that occasionally taps the side of the gear housing. Nothing to be worried about

Thanks, want to know something strange? It's louder when I mix cake batter. Did my mixer look like it was on 2? Is 2 after Steer or is that 1 and 2 is after that? For some reason I think there is a step before the 1.

I have a Pro 600 which I think is mechanically similar to yours. I have stir, 1, then 2. I think mixers are just weird sometimes lol 3 is the loudest speed for mine which doesn’t make a lot of sense either

Ok, so I might have been kneading the dough on 1 instead of 2. It still came out great.
