The aesthetic workhorse is on serious promo at KitchenAid, Williams Sonoma, and more cookware retailers.
Having a KitchenAid standing mixer is the millennial equivalent of home ownership. I say this not only because I do not yet own either, but because I actually fantasize far more about the former (I have also heard a lot of HOA horror stories). Luckily, my dream has never been more possible with the many Black Friday sales on KitchenAid standing mixers that are (yes, already) emerging on the web.
Eater’s Cory Baldwin outlined the KitchenAid mixer’s journey to cult-fave status in this article, retracing its over 100-year-old history as an appliance that came onto the cookware scene with the right ideas at the right time; no brand, it seems, could quite match the ways in which a KitchenAid standing mixer combined sheer power, Art Deco design, and color-popping aesthetics. Baldwin also discovered that many people consider their standing mixer to be a 10 year (minimum) investment, so it makes sense that they would seriously mull over the purchase options, debating which colorway (Matte Dried Rose? Empire Red?) and capacity (the 8-quart iteration deserves to be immortalized on Mount Rushmore) works for them.
Below, I’ve rounded-up some of the best KitchenAid standing mixer sales this Black Friday, from some of the more classic models to a mixer that looks like it listens to Black Sabbath.
