Multiple KitchenAid stand mixers are on super-sale for Cyber Monday. At these prices, grab one for yourself and one as a gift for your favorite home baker.(Walmart)
As people who shop for a living, we know how to spot a worthwhile Cyber Monday deal when we see one. So if we do a double take when a $400-plus KitchenAid stand mixer goes on sale for $250, you'd better believe it's one to jump on. 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. Not for long, thanks to these KitchenAid Cyber Monday deals that are still available!
This classic 4.5-quart, tilt-head model will have you whipping up culinary creations galore, and it's currently $141 off at Walmart. Want a bigger, more industrial model? You can also get a 5.5-quart, bowl-lift mixer for $200 off during Target's Cyber Monday sale.
Whether you're a cookie monster or a bread head, having a KitchenAid stand mixer is an absolute game-changer when it comes to preparing baked goods at home. You'll be able to add your ingredients and then let the machine do its thing while you take care of other tasks, saving you time and a whole lotta elbow grease. It comes with whisk, beater and dough hook attachments, has 11 speeds and can hold enough dough to make up to 11 dozen cookies in a single batch. It's also great for mashing potatoes come Thanksgiving! (Full disclosure: This very model — in silver — is the one I own, and it's the best.)
You can snag this lovely mixer in four colors: blue, red, pink or this sleek silver.
The word Aid in its name isn't a throwaway — this timeless kitchen standby will do all the heavy lifting for you.
We compared prices at other retailers (yes, even Amazon), and Walmart and Target's prices are currently the lowest we're seeing online — up to 45% off for the crème de la crème of stand mixers. If you're serious about baking, these workhorses will more than pay for themselves with all the time and effort they'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 four colors, 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 900 perfect ratings from satisfied shoppers, this mixer is, understandably, a Walmart bestseller.
"Excellent," wrote one happy home cook. "I’ve wanted one of these since childhood. I’ve already baked a cake and made mashed potatoes using this. It’s easy on your back and you can multitask."
"Greatest stand mixer ever!" exclaimed another impressed baker. "Super easy to use; the mixing wand reaches the bottom so it mixes all the batter. It makes cooking effortless. I'd recommend it."
"Easy to use, but it's fairly heavy — but that goes along with how very well it's built," observed a final fan. "It's a very high-quality product! ... It will outlast me!"
And if you think you'll need a larger model, this 5.5-quart mixer is priced right at Target (45% off):
