An ode to the KitchenAid mixer—and it’s on sale today!

If you know anyone who likes to cook or bake, odds are you know someone with a KitchenAid stand mixer. These countertop appliances are absolute workhorses in the kitchen. They’re durable, versatile, and basically set the gold standard for stand mixers — which is why everyone who spends a significant amount of time in the kitchen either already has one, or has one on their wish list.

I mean, you watch The Great British Baking Show, right? There’s a reason there’s one of these babies sitting at every single baker’s station.

The reason not everyone has a KitchenAid mixer is that they’re pretty dang expensive. For the large-capacity stand mixer most home cooks covet (generally a 4-6 quart bowl), you’re looking at dropping around $450-$600 at most retailers, depending on the colors and specs. And they don’t go on sale very often, so when they do, you have to act fast.

Well, dear reader, today is one of those times. Thanks to Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, AKA October Prime Day, KitchenAid mixers are on sale. Today only, you can snag the Artisan series in tons of colors, including Blue Velvet, Black, Dried Rose, and Matte Black, for $71 off. That means these 5-quart capacity stand mixers are just $379, compared to their usual list price of $450.

Each one comes with a 5-quart stainless steel bowl that can hold enough dough to make nine dozen cookies at once. If math isn’t your strong suit, that’s 108 cookies. At once. In other words, this holiday season is going to be a breeze.

The Artisan Series mixer also has 10 mixing speeds, a tilt-head design, and three included attachments: a flat beater, dough hook and wire whip. It’s compatible with tons of other attachments that are sold separately, like pasta makers, juicers, food processors, and more.

Just act fast, because this sale ends after today.
