Noisier than old model

I bought this to replace a 10 year old similar model that had developed cracks. The new one is noisier, and doesn’t seem as well made. It does keep the same base sizing as the old model, so I can use the old motor base, blender jar and processor blade as back ups for the new one in case they break. The new motor housing looks like shiny stainless, but it is actually plastic. Time will tell if it lasts as long.
