A trademark of any good kitchen? Besides an excellent set of knives, it’s a KitchenAid mixer!

The iconic kitchen appliance is a staple in any home. It’s also the top-notch accessory any baker needs and the status symbol for any true at-home chef.

Durable, long-lasting and top-of-the-line, KitchenAid mixers have just one flaw: the price. Considering the models are designed to last decades, it’s no surprise they boast such a price tag upwards of $300.

Luckily today, Amazon is selling a KitchenAid bundle at a cost so low, it’s cheaper than a single mixer. The bundle includes a KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer along with three different mixing heads, a meat grinder and a splatter guard for 48 percent off — just $260 — today only. That’s a $279 savings.

Available in five different colors, the KitchenAid tilt-head mixer has a 5-quart bowl. That’s big enough to mix together nine-dozen cookies or four whole loves of bread in one single batch. The tilted head — along with the splash protector included that blocks out any slush during the mixing process — keeps things clean by allowing bakers to easily access the goodness inside the bowl.

In addition to the huge mixing bowl, this KitchenAid has 10 different speeds you can choose from, perfect for anything from whipping cream to kneading doughs. There’s even more potential: the KitchenAid stand mixer can transform into a food grinder in seconds. All you have to do is attach the grinder to the top.

One five-star reviewer said: “I've always wanted a KitchenAid mixer, but it was way too expensive for my budget. OMG, it's everything I've always dreamed it would be and more. This stand came with the meat grinder, which I haven't used. Instead, I've been playing around with the mixing attachments (also included). The wire whisk was great for eggs. It turns out the dough hook wasn't the best choice for mixing meatloaf, but the triangular paddle-shaped attachment was perfect for the job. I love meatloaf, but not the hand mixing needed to make it. Now, my hands stay clean. Well, until I have to shape the loaf. Anyway, it's wonderful! I even used the splatter shield tonight, because when I sped up the mixing, meatloaf started splattering — not a lot, just a tiny bit. Anyway, the shield took care of that.”
