Give your hands a break — this sleek KitchenAid stand mixer is here to tackle thick doughs, batters and more.(Amazon)
It's no secret that KitchenAid is considered the gold standard when it comes to stand mixers, and seeing as my job entails testing kitchen products, I can vouch for these sturdy (and splurge-y) appliances. Most serious home cooks and bakers dream of owning one of these bad boys, but their high price tags often keep them out of reach. Well, not for long, thanks to this epic discount on KitchenAid's Classic Series 4.5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer at Amazon.
If you could use a more industrial model, this is the exact mixer I have on my kitchen counter — it's an absolute beast. Because it has a bowl-lift design rather than a tilt-head design, it's more stable and can whip things up with greater power. Plus, the bowl itself is a bit larger.
At nearly 40% off, this is the best price I'm seeing on the web — I'm tempted to grab a second one!
This No. 1 bestselling, TikTok-famous compact carpet cleaner packs a punch, especially considering it weighs less than 10 pounds. Its powerful suction can be used to remove stains not just from rugs, but furniture and even car upholstery too. Plus, it comes with a self-cleaning hose tool and a bottle of Bissell's Spot & Stain with Febreeze.
Prime members can snag this bestselling phone holder at an all-time low — a jaw-dropping 73% off. It's a cinch to install on your dashboard, windshield or vent with a three-layer gel and locking mechanism that won't leave a mark on your car. A 360-degree ball joint and extendable telescopic arm allow you to pivot it as needed. The holder adjusts to fit nearly every kind of phone.
"It has exceeded all of my expectations," said a happy customer. "I used the AC vent mount and it is very sturdy and remains intact while driving. The adjustable arms firmly hold my phone, even during bumpy roads or sudden stops. It is easily adjustable and super easy to install, so I was able to rotate it to get the perfect angle for my needs."

A No. 1 bestselling Roomba that's down to just $159 (it's lowest price ever)? We'll take two! Let this little cleaning whiz zap up dust from your floor while you chill on the couch.
Nothing says cozy like a flannel throw blanket — unless that blanket also happens to have an impossibly fluffy fleece side, like this one does. It's perfect for cuddling up with on the couch while reading a book or watching a movie, and it also makes the perfect gift. This is as cheap as we've seen it, and with Eddie Bauer you know you're getting quality.
We compared prices at other retailers, and you won't find any better than Amazon's markdown — you'll save $90 on the creme de la creme of stand mixers! This workhorse usually costs upward of $300 (at least), and if you're serious about baking, it'll more than pay for itself with all the time and effort it'll save you.
Before I started writing about kitchen products for a living, I worked with kitchen products for a living — as a baker, to be exact. That said, I still bake pretty much every week, and my trusty KitchenAid stand mixer is what I reach for when I'm making cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I've probably made it using this mighty appliance. In fact, the bakery I worked at even used this very mixer for certain tasks — it's that good. Unlike flimsier mixers on the market, this one was built to last (there's a reason KitchenAids are often passed down from one generation to the next!), so you won't need to worry about replacing it after a year.
At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time and won't take up much room in your kitchen. Oh, and you'll get beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any dessert under the sun — though some people have also found savory uses, from mashing potatoes to shredding chicken.
Short on storage space? This beauty comes in classic black and white, and once you realize how much you can do with it (and how pretty it looks), you'll likely want to keep it right on the counter for all to admire.
With over 6,700 perfect ratings from satisfied shoppers, this KitchenAid mixer is, understandably, an Amazon fave.
"I love this machine!" gushed one happy home cook. "I can use it to make my cookie recipes, or just in general mixing things up that are harder for people like me to do. When I say people like me, I mean because I have carpal tunnel, and arthritis in my hands. Having something take the repetitive mixing out of the occasion for me is great! My husband even likes it because we bought a grinder attachment and used it to grind his venison meat to make sausage. If you ever wanted a stand mixer, I would always chose a KitchenAid over any other, because they seem to be sturdier and last longer."
"Everything about this KitchenAid Classic mixer exhibits all the quality I've come to expect from KitchenAid!" exclaimed another impressed baker. "I love the look and the way it performs. I'd never used a dough hook before, but this weekend made three big batches of rolls, and I will never go back to kneading by hand. Very pleased overall and highly recommend."
"I received this as my Mother’s Day gift and could not be happier," raved a final fan. "It’s exactly what I’ve been wanting." Their one warning? "I will tell you it's HEAVY. I was not prepared coming from my plastic mixer. This is not a mixer you whip out from time to time. It has a permanent spot on my counter."
And if you think you'll need a larger model, this 5.5-quart mixer is priced right at Target:
