The KitchenAid Stand Mixer Is on Sale for July 4th | Well+Good

A good stand mixer will transform your life in the kitchen. From making cake batter and cookie dough to fresh pasta and homemade butter, a stand mixer is one of the most versatile kitchen tools in your arsenal. But with so many different models on the market to choose from, it’s hard to know which one is the very best.

Luckily, reviewers are always happy to help consumers navigate the complex world of shopping. Based on over 10,000 5-star Best Buy reviews, it looks like we’ve found a winner—the KitchenAid Pro 5 Plus 5-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer ($349), a “buy it once and keep it for decades” piece of equipment. Now, you can buy it once… for $100 off the original price when you purchase it at Best Buy.

Unsurprisingly, KitchenAid’s stand mixer is one of the best for seasoned chefs and beginner cooks alike. The brand has been making durable mixers since 1919—over 100 years of perfecting the model to what it is today.

Instead of the signature tilt-head design KitchenAid is known for, the Pro 5 model features an elevated bowl you can lift up to the beaters, making it so easy to swap out different accessories, like mixers, hooks, and more. With a 10-speed slider to control consistency and compatibility with over 10 different attachments, it’s no wonder this gorgeous kitchen gadget is the standard choice for all sorts of foodies.

Now, $349 is better than the original price, but still expansive. But according to thousands of happy Best Buy reviewers, it’s worth every penny. If you’re spending so much up front, you’d want it to function properly for a long time—and that’s exactly what you should expect with your purchase. Multiple reviewers noted how they’ve been working with the same KitchenAid stand mixer for 10 or 15 years, withstanding all the wear and tear they can muster in the kitchen.

“Kitchen Aid mixers will give many, many years of service. I bought this one for my daughter. Mine is 39 years old and still works great!” wrote one customer. “I purchased this mixer in February of 2003 and 15 years later it’s still going strong,” said another.

Currently, four colors of the mixer on sale, all which happen to have a patriotic theme ahead of the Fourth of July weekend: Cherry red, navy blue, shiny silver, and arguably less Americana but still very posh, onyx black. And if $345 is still too expensive, don’t worry—a refurbished KitchenAid is available on Amazon, too. And other great options with amazing reviews? The Hamilton Beach Electric Stand Mixer ($99) comes at a fraction of the price and is loved by over 6,000 happy users. At 4-quarts, it’s a bit smaller than the KitchenAid, but it still packs a punch with seven different speeds and three included attachments. Similarly, the Cuisinart 5.5-Quart Stand Mixer ($199) has all the bells-and-whistles needed to whip-up cookies, muffins, and more.
