The service life of a commercial mixer is affected by various factors. Under normal use and maintenance conditions, its service life can reach 10 - 15 years or even longer. The Vonci brand is rather strict in the selection of materials for components such as motors, transmissions, and containers. The motors have good durability and can withstand long-term operation.

I. Brands and Quality

High-end Brands: Commercial mixers of well-known brands usually adopt high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes. For example, high-end commercial mixers of brands like Kenwood and Hauswirt may have a service life of about 10 - 15 years. However, the motors inside may have a relatively higher probability of malfunctioning due to slightly inferior quality, and the materials of components such as the outer shell may be relatively thin and prone to damage.

II. Frequency and Intensity of Use

If a commercial mixer is used for long hours and with high intensity every day in commercial places such as bakeries and restaurants, for example, being used for more than 8 - 10 hours a day and frequently stirring thick dough, sauces and other materials, its service life may be shortened. In the case of such high-frequency use, even for a mixer with better quality, key components such as the motor and mixing paddles may show obvious wear and tear in about 5 - 7 years and need to be repaired or replaced.

In some small cafes or office pantries and other places, if a commercial mixer is only used occasionally, a few times a week and for a short time each time, its service life may be extended significantly. In such a situation, it is also possible to use it for more than 10 - 12 years.

III. Maintenance Conditions

Good Maintenance: Regular maintenance of the commercial mixer is the key to extending its service life. After each use, promptly clean the mixing paddles and containers to avoid the corrosion of machine components by residual food residues; regularly check the heat dissipation situation of the motor to ensure its normal operation; lubricate the transmission device according to the requirements of the instruction manual, etc. If these good maintenance measures can be implemented, the service life of the mixer can be significantly extended.

Note that if the mixer is not cleaned for a long time, the accumulation of food residues may lead to motor failures or blockages of the transmission device. Moreover, if attention is not paid to waterproofing and moisture-proofing of the machine, it is also easy to damage the circuit part. In such a situation of lack of maintenance, the mixer may have various problems after being used for 1 - 2 years.

A commercial mixer can be used for a long time under good maintenance. The specific service life can be checked in the product instruction manual.
