What does Mom want the most for Mother’s Day? (Well, besides your love, of course!) If she often bakes and cooks, a KitchenAid mixer is one of the best gifts around. The brand’s stand mixers have earned household name fame thanks to their power, style, and durability, and they last for ages—so you know you’ll be making a great investment.
That level of quality comes with a hefty price tag, but investing at the right time can save you a bunch of cash in the long run. And right now seems to be that time, with two high-level KitchenAid mixers on sale at KitchenAid and Best Buy for less than $300. They are both fairly similar in quality, offering between 10 and 11 speeds so you can find the perfect power for any recipe, and both come with a minimum of 5-quart capacity so Mom can make large batches and entertain with ease.
KitchenAid mixers also come with a minimum of 500 watts of power for quick mixing, and you can buy additional attachments to create everything from ice cream to pasta. The major difference between the two is the type of mixing it does: The option from Best Buy is a bowl-lift-stand mixer, which means the bowl attaches to two arms that are raised and lowered with a lever. Accessories can be switched or ingredients added while the bowl is lowered. The powerful motor and sturdy design of the bowl-lift stand mixer provides the stability needed for heavier mixtures.
The one from KitchenAid is a tilt-head mixer (and comes with a chic glass bowl!), which means the mixer’s head tilts back so you can attach the bowl to the base and swap out accessories as needed. It then tilts forward, where you can lock it in while the motor is running. When adding ingredients, simply release the head with a lever and tilt it back again for clear access to the bowl. It’s best for recipes where you know you’ll have to keep adding ingredients at different times.
No matter which option you pick, though, this deal is definitely not one to sleep on. Mom will be so thrilled to wake up to this on Mother’s Day, she just might make you pancakes instead.
