Get the Best Price on KitchenAid Mixers With These Tips!
Get the best price on a KitchenAid mixer with these helpful shopping tips!
Want to get the best price on a KitchenAid mixer?
Let’s face it – KitchenAid mixers are not cheap. 💰 However, for a couple of hundred dollars, this countertop appliance will do just about everything… except bake the cookies for you!
You can make homemade dough, whip up frosting, shred chicken & cheese, make pasta, and much more with KitchenAid’s extensive line of standing mixers and attachments.
While they do cost a pretty penny, these small appliances can make your life a whole lot easier in the kitchen, and that convenience is well worth the cost!
Here are three ways to get the best price on a KitchenAid mixer all year long:
1. Don’t buy the biggest & latest model.
Unless you’re cooking for a family of 10 and plan to use your KitchenAid mixer every single day, you won’t necessarily need the biggest and fanciest model. Many of the smaller models have a lot of the same features, are more affordable, and usually take up less space on your kitchen counters, too!
As an idea, this small but mighty KitchenAid Classic 4.5-Quart Mixer includes a flat beater, dough hook, whisk attachments, and has 10 mixing speeds, so you can easily prepare a variety of recipes. While it’s currently priced at $249.99, we’ve seen it go on sale for under $200.
2. Watch for KitchenAid rebates.
Occasionally, KitchenAid offers promotions & rebates on select mixer models in the form of a check or VISA gift card. While these promotions may not come around often, we do usually see them pop up a couple of times a year. We’ve also seen various mail-in rebate offers at Kohl’s, QVC, and other retailers!

3. Buy a refurbished model.
On the fence about buying a factory refurbished KitchenAid Mixer? Don’t be, as they’re a great way to save you some dough… so you can get in the kitchen and make lots of dough! 🍪 😂
Whenever you purchase a refurbished model through KitchenAid, you can rest easy because they include a 6-month limited warranty from the date of purchase (excluding cosmetic damage).
Yes, refurbished mixers have been returned from a consumer, retailer, or trucking company, BUT they have been cleaned and inspected to the original mechanical and electrical condition – so they work just like new!
They also may contain cosmetic blemishes (which are not covered under warranty), but you likely won’t even notice a few scratches or dings while the mixer is sitting on your counter! If you do purchase a refurbished mixer, be sure to keep the dated sales receipt since you may be asked to email, fax, or mail in a copy of the receipt.

Refurb is definitely the way to go. My Mom got one for $149 in Jun/Jul and said she could not tell the difference, the unit looked brand new.
We’re glad to hear your feedback, Margaux. We agree that it’s an excellent way to save and still get a great product!
How long do they usually last ? I’ve been having mine for 17 years now, I use it constantly, it’s working as good as the first day but I’m afraid it will suddenly brake and I wouldn’t want to pay full price to replace it
Great question, Lesly. According to a good source, KitchenAid will tell you that the lifespan of their mixers is about 15 years. Under the right conditions, though, a mixer could last 30 years or more. It depends on how often it’s getting used and how well it’s being taken care of. Hope that helps!
I’ve had the basic, white model for 28 years. Still runs great! I did replace the bowl last year and I don’t use it every day. Sometimes it’s just easier to grab a hand mixer. I’ve been on the fence about updating it but it keeps hanging in there.
I purchased a refurbished KitchenAid mixer, 13 years ago, and it’s still going strong!
That’s awesome, Katie! Thanks for commenting!
Glad to hear they last so long! Since some of you have been owners of one for many years I have a question. The tilt head always seems to cost more, isn’t as heavy duty or as large of a capacity as I’d like. Is the tilt head really worth the higher price or do you find it not a necessity?
Has anyone seen a good sale on attachments? Especially the meat grinder? Thanks
The meat grinder is 30% off at Bed Bath & Beyond and you can use a 20% off coupon. We got the metal one for $56 (normally $100)!
