The photo dates to 2018 when we still had the 'screecher'.  We had a large family gathering to deal with in a few days, and the amount of baking (and noise) was almost oppressive.

I replaced it with a Wolf 'Gourmet' model in 2019:

Stand Mixer | Wolf Gourmet

I didn't expect purring from the mechanism, and this new machine makes noise.  But in terms of annoyance and screech, it's the hands-down winner.  Bigger bucket, too.

The KitchenAid product gets very high customer appreciation and loyalty, so I know they're generally a very good and robust product.  My wife's...dunno....I even took the cover off and spread around the grease to the barest-looking gears hoping to make it quiet.  The gears were clear of any metallic particles as far as I could see, and the grease didn't harbour any.  But, despite my efforts, it didn't work.
