Take KitchenAid’s five quart stand mixer for example: it’s now a whopping 44 per cent off on Amazon, but only for a limited time.
With hundreds of five-star ratings and a near-perfect 4.8 out of five stars, it’s a true testament to the stand mixer’s popularity and reliability.
But is it really worth the splurge? Let’s find out.

The details
Everything about the design of the KitchenAid Artisan 5 qt. Stand Mixer is convenient - the tilt-head mechanism allows easy access to what’s inside the bowl attachment and its unique mixing action reaches every part, leaving nothing behind.
Along with a 10-speed control panel, five rubber feet on the bottom of the mixer help stabilize it while in use and protect whatever surface it sits on top of. Plus, the package includes a dishwasher safe flat beater, dough hook, wire whip, pouring shield, and durable glass bowl attachment.
What reviewers are saying
There’s no doubt that the stand mixer is built to last. Amazon shoppers also praised this kitchen essential for being easy to use, easy to clean, and great value for the money.
“I make my own pizza dough at least once a week, and bake a lot, so I need a good stand-mixer in my life. You won't be disappointed with this model,” shared one five-star reviewer.
While it’s a great option for home bakers shopping for themselves, the KitchenAid Artisan 5 qt. Stand Mixer is also a great gift item.
“This mixer was a gift for my wife who has wanted one for years,” added another. “We've used it over the holidays to make cookies, biscuits and pizza dough and it has worked flawlessly. The motor is plenty powerful for everyday use and the included attachments handle every mixing task we would need.”
Although negative reviews for this top-rated mixer are few and far between, some shoppers have noted that the fragile glass bowl is more likely to break than the other stainless steel versions, and is also quite a bit heavier.
“The glass bowl is too heavy because I have arthritis and bone problems so lifting the bowl is very hard for me...otherwise it is fantastic,” wrote one reviewer.
Splurge-worthy, or not?
For over $250 off retail price, the KitchenAid Artisan 5 qt. Stand Mixer’s quality, value, and ease of use scream “add to cart.” If the glass bowl is a point of contention, it’s possible to purchase a separate stainless steel bowl to replace it, still bringing you well under regular price.
And if red is not your favourite, you can also choose from a few different colours which are still available on sale at Amazon.
