SAVE $100: Get your holiday baking started early with the six-quart KitchenAid bowl-lift stand mixer, on sale at Amazon for $399.99 as of Oct. 20 in an early Black Friday deal. 


Everyone who bakes even a little bit dreams of one day owning a stand mixer. Having that iconic red KitchenAid on your counter is like a rite of passage from boxed cake mix to baking from scratch, and it opens up a whole world of new recipes. You can start making bread without having to knead it by hand, or beat perfectly fluffy meringue and whipped cream with the flip of a switch and some patience. 

If you want to make the leap before the upcoming holidays (maybe to perfect your pie and cookie recipes), the six-quart KitchenAid bowl-lift stand mixer is on sale in an early Black Friday deal for $100 off, at $399.99. This is the lowest price it’s had on Amazon since February, according to the price tracker camelcamelcamel. If you’ve been holding out since last winter on upgrading your baking setup, now is the time to grab a new KitchenAid.

The lifted bowl of this KitchenAid raises and lowers the bowl and offers enhanced support for mixing heavy loads and big quantities (think large loaves of bread and up to 10 dozen cookies). You’ll get 10 different mixing speeds, which will give the best results for everything from cutting in butter to whipping egg whites. The stainless-steel bowl has 67 different touch points when mixing, and that means more even ingredient incorporation and less turning off the mixer and scraping down the bowl. 

This mixer comes with a pouring shield and three attachments: a dough hook, a coated flat beater, and a wire whisk, but these mixing tools aren’t all your mixer can do. Having a KitchenAid stand mixer also means you’ll be able to buy some of the over 14 different attachments, which will turn your mixer from a high-powered whisk to a whole kitchen arsenal. Roll out fresh pasta, make veggie noodles, grind meat, and more with the add-on attachments. 

For Thanksgiving pies, Christmas cookies, and baking bread, a KitchenAid stand mixer is a must. Grab this six-quart KitchenAid bowl-lift stand mixer today, for $399.99 and get baking.
