Once you invest in a great mixer, it’s a game changer. The ability to walk away from the kitchen while a machine is doing the dirty work is a luxury that never gets old. The quintessential mixer, the one that most people think of when they think of mixers, is the KitchenAid Classic Plus Stand Mixer. And right now it’s on sale for just $199— $80 off.
It’s solid. It’s powerful. And it’s a mixing machine — literally. This particular model comes in stainless steel and that just adds to its appeal — you’ll never get sick of it.
And though other mixers may have more bells and whistles, this 10-speed appliance does what it does and does it well. The 4.5-quart bowl is big enough to handle six dozen cookies, three loaves of bread or six pounds of mashed potatoes in a single batch. (And you thought you didn’t want to host Thanksgiving.)
The head tilts back, giving you ample room to add ingredients as you go. The mixer includes three attachments: a flat beater, a dough hook and a six-wire whip, and you can buy more for everything from grinding meat to making pasta.
Customers adore this mixer, and a common theme among the reviewers? That they should have gotten one sooner!
“Why did I wait so long?!” asks a mixing enthusiast. “This was a family Christmas present to myself. My kids are at the age where they are really into baking, so they love this. It also helps them be part of the mixing process. Before I would have to mix everything because they do not have the arm strength yet. But now I turn on the mixer and they can just dump ingredients in as it mixes. Everyone loves it!”
“I grew up always having a KitchenAid mixer in the kitchen,” says another reviewer. “It was just naturally a part of our lifestyle. Our mixer stayed out on the counter and was used any time something had to be beat, whipped or blended. I waited my whole adult life to own my own KitchenAid mixer. I came across this one and the price was right so I finally decided to purchase. I was so excited to try it that we made a cake and a batch of cupcakes once it was delivered and washed. Just as I remember, it makes life so much easier! Mine will also stay out on my counter. It has a small-ish footprint and is so easy to clean. It is my most cherished appliance and will probably help in making memories for my children.”
