KitchenAid’s Popular Stand Mixer Is $120 Off—It’s the Best Price Since 2020

I’ve owned my trusty KitchenAid stand mixer for going on 10 years. It has been with me through two moves, a four-year cookbook writing project, and a seasonal obsession with making chocolate soufflé, which famously gets its poof from perfectly-whipped egg whites.

I know people used to hand-knead even the toughest doughs, whip all their egg whites manually, and cream butter with a wooden spoon, but I thoroughly enjoy not having to do any of those things. Or at least, having the option to not do those things if I don’t want to. My stand mixer does it for me.

However, the barrier to entry into the blissful realm of the stand mixer is steep: a price tag topping $400. I would argue that my KitchenAid has been worth every penny, and I didn’t get mine on sale, but finding a great deal on such a spendy small appliance is the difference between joining the stand mixer club and wearing out your wrist every time you need to make whipped cream for most folks.

Deals are fleeting for this kitchen workhorse, but right now you can find KitchenAid’s Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt Head Stand Mixer for about 25 percent off the list price. That’s just $329.95 compared to the $459.99 list price. This particular mixer hasn’t been priced this low on Amazon since 2020, and there’s no way to know how long this deal will last.

There are several colorways available at this price point, including white, almond cream, and retro-chic pistachio, so you aren’t limited to the basics and can match your kitchen aesthetic.

While a stand mixer can feel like a pretty niche purchase, suited only to the most die-hard bakers, they’re actually one of the most versatile small appliances you can own. In addition to kneading doughs, whipping egg whites, and beating cake batters, the KitchenAid is the best tool for shredding chicken, mixing meatloaf, making perfect mashed potatoes, and whipping masa for tamales.

KitchenAid also sells a wide array of attachments for their stand mixers, so you can convert your mixer into a pasta roller, a meat grinder, or even a shave ice machine. It’s maybe the only appliance that will allow you to follow your latest cooking hyperfixation.

My stand mixer has broadened the kinds of recipes I feel comfortable taking on. The chocolate soufflé I mentioned before? I probably would never have tried making soufflé to begin with if it weren’t for my stand mixer, which makes whipping egg whites as easy as flipping a switch. When I set the soufflé on the table, all my guests look at me with awe, but I give most of the credit to my beloved KitchenAid.
