Any one see the new 7 Qt. Kitchenaid? They claim it is the quietest mixer they have ever made. Williams-Sonoma has a video of it in action in their website

That's quite a claim
I would be amazed if it were more quiet than a 4C or a K4.

Beleive this mixer has a PM DC motor instead of the tradidtional series AC-Dc motor-that would make it quieter.Or it could have an induction motor like the commercial Hobart ones.

Nice mixer! And interesting that I can view the Williams-Sonoma website now. They blocked it always for people from other countries.
I wonder though about the sound of the motor. It's a bit of a chirpy sound. I'd prefer a more solid, continuous sound, even if it would be a bit louder.

I can't get the video to work. I double clicked on the video icon. Veys mir. is it maybe too early for the mixer site to be awake?
Pretty neat mixer-still sounds like it has the traditional universal motor.The coated beater blades is better than the raw aluminum ones.Since I have a 7qt Viking-stay with that.

Interesting - seems quieter albeit a bit "whiney" at high speeds, but at low speeds actually seems louder. And both sounds are unlike my plain early 90s KA. Wonder how the reliability will be if they've significantly changed the motor design? I've replaced every single other appliance I've had since the early 90s due to failure or moving *except* my KA mixer...never had a single thing go wrong with it!
I still don't think it's as quiet as what Hobart was producing from roughly the 40's through the 60's.
It appears to be the louder Swedish motor type, which I think just about all bowl-lift models larger than 4.5 quart are outfitted with.
No doubt KA has received many complaints about noise level in recent years and has started to do something about it. Too bad they are limiting their noise reduction to high end models. They should be quieting down all of their Swedish motor models across the board.

Whats is this thing about Swedish motors? VitaMix has gone to Swedish made motors in their blenders.Feel that USA made motors are BETTER.Blendtec makes thier OWN motors.
