Have had this same one for about 6 years now and some time in the last year it has started making some concerning sounds. Still works, but took it apart and it's all plastic gearing so I don't expect it to last too much longer. I tried to do some research when it started making noise to see if there were any with metal gears but couldn't find any.

Having overheated a cheap one recently, I guess the lesson is to avoid overstressing these little boys. We have this guy for when shit gets real.

Yeah we have a kitchenaid stand mixer as well and use that for all the heavy duty things that doesn't mean we didn't over work the hand mixer at some point and caused the issue, but I don't recall that happening

You could try to replace the plastic with metal gears, Amazon or eBay (or a local option) probably has all the sizes and teeth counts you need
