Update: this is my second full season to use this and my first week after not using for the spring and summer. Now the center rod won’t sit correctly and keeps unscrewing the cap that site on it and so the stir paddle barely moves and it pops the lid off.I use this in my bakery and it’s a great little machine. Easy use, easy clean. But the two side clips that clamp it down both broke in the first month I’ve had it. It still works but looks terrible with those hanging off the sides.
