Why it's buy-it-for-life
Redditors who switched from gear-driven mixers point to the belt drive instead of plastic gears, higher build quality, and no history yet of corporate cost-cutting as reasons it's held up better under heavy, frequent dough use.

Nice mixer, but I'm partial to the Bosch Universal, which I've heard is pretty BIFL.
I eventually replaced it with a Bosche Universal Plus and I feel like that is a higher quality machine.
