PSA: KitchenAid Stand Mixers Are Over 40% Off on Amazon—but Today Only

There’s a reason we’re always talking about how essential a KitchenAid Stand Mixer is for any kitchen: They make the laborious task of mixing, whipping and kneading ingredients a breeze. Suddenly, all those upcoming fall bake sale and holiday events don’t seem so daunting if you’ve got a KitchenAid proudly sitting atop your counter, ready to take on the heavy lifting.

The only downside to a KitchenAid is that it can come with a hefty price tag—I mean, all that power doesn’t come cheap. Which is why whenever we find it on sale, we share the good news. Today only, Amazon is offering a Deal of the Day that lets you snag the KitchenAid Professional Six-Quart Stand Mixer in Empire Red, Onyx Black or Contour Silver for $260, which is almost 40 percent off the list price.

The six-quart stainless steel bowl can mix enough batter at once for 10 dozen cookies, while the bowl-lift feature raises and lowers the bowl and keeps it sturdy while mixing heavy ingredients or large quantities. The stand mixer also includes a coated power-knead spiral dough hook, coated flat beater, professional-style wire whip, and a pouring shield.

The Professional Series has unparalleled strength, with 10 controlled speeds, and can be used for more than just prepping breads and cakes. You can purchase additional attachments to prep pasta from scratch, shred a block of cheese in seconds or make fresh juice in the morning.

Seriously, now’s the time to treat yourself to a kitchen workhorse that you’ll enjoy for years to come.
