Bought this machine one month ago in Feb 2020. The creaming beater makes a very loud screeching noise when creaming butter and sugar. Spoke to Kenwood who say its normal. I bought this because I want a large bowl for breadmaking, and Choice recommended it. I have only used it twice for creaming butter and sugar and both times it made a terrible squealing noise. The very loud noise puts me off using the creamer.
The best Kenwood could offer was the advice that the very loud screeching is normal for this beater. It also jolts around on the benchtop when in use mixing a cake mix.

When using the creaming beater it makes a very loud screeching noise. I used it to cream butter and sugar. Spoke to Kenwood who say its normal to make this screeching/squealing noise. I dont agree as its very loud and hurts my ears. I adjusted it as per Kenwood instructions, no change in noise level. The machine also jolts about on the bench top when in use.
