KitchenAid models are pricey, with the range starting at £449 for the Mini and extending to over £900 for the largest Bowl-Lift models.

Smooth cake batter, creamy frosting, airy meringues, bouncy enriched dough... the baking options are endless if you have a stand mixer.

KitchenAid mixer deals 2024

KitchenAid Mini

Best stand mixer for small spaces

KitchenAid Mini stand mixer

Star rating: 4/5

The Mini is, as you might guess, the smallest stand mixer in KitchenAid's range with a bowl capacity of 3.3 litres, which has a maximum capacity of 1.8kg worth of cake batter. This would make a good choice for someone who is short on space, or is an occasional baker. Unlike other larger models there isn't a handle on the bowl, which on test we found made it difficult to remove it from the mixer. The motor on this model is pretty modest which means that whisking and kneading may take a little longer.

KitchenAid Classic

Best basic stand mixer

KitchenAid Classic

Star rating: 4/5

The KitchenAid Classic has a 4.3-litre bowl and is a step up from the Mini, with a higher motor power of 275W. It comes with all the same attachments as its counterpart the Artisan, and the primary difference is that this model is only available in black and white. The wattage means that, much like the Mini, this model struggles a bit with thicker mixes and on test we found the buns we made were a little tough as a result. If you're an occasional baker looking for a mixer which does the basics well but doesn't have lots of bells and whistles, this could be a good option.

KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM125

Best stand mixer for stylish kitchens

KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer For Cake Mixing

Star rating: 4.5/5

This might be KitchenAid's most well-known stand mixer which is often featured as a baking essential, like on The Great British Bake Off. This model is available in red, black, silver and cream which is KitchenAid's core colour range. A good option if you want to match your mixer to other appliances in your kitchen, and if you want a sturdy, reliable mixer which is both mid-range in size and price.

KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM175

KitchenAid Artisan

The engineering of this machine is the same as the other Artisan models, with a differing product code indicating a change in the colours and accessories available for this range. This model comes in the largest available set of colours with 13 to choose from, so if you're looking for a mixer to stand out from the crowd, this could be the one. It also comes with an additional three-litre bowl and splash guard which works well when adding icing sugar or flour to the mixer.

KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM180 - Shadow and Light

Light and Shadow

The Artisan 5KSM180 is KitchenAid's limited edition colourway which usually comes with a unique mixing bowl. This model available from Harts of Stur is the 2022 Light and Shadow model with a studded black ceramic bowl.

KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM185

Black KitchenAid standmixer with glass bowl and whisk attached

This model has the same design and motor as other Artisan models so will be able to handle most baking requirements with ease. It is available in seven colours and comes with an additional three-litre bowl and splash guard as well as the stainless steel dough hook, flat beater and wire balloon whisk.

KitchenAid Artisan 5KSM195

KitchenAid colour of the year product image 2023
KitchenAid

Every year KitchenAid release a colour of the year. These are usually bright, eye-catching shades — think Beetroot (2022) and Kyoto Glow (2020). Last year's shade was Hibiscus, a shocking pink that's sure to stand out in any kitchen. The model comes with a 4.8L stainless steel bowl and 3L bowl as well as the usual attachments.

KitchenAid Bowl-Lift Artisan 5KSM60

KitchenAid Bowl-Lift Artisan 5KSM60 with badge

Star rating: 4.5/5

If you're regularly catering for a crowd, a bowl-lift mixer will offer a wider range of versatility thanks to its large capacity. This new model comes with a 5.6L bowl which is the middle size available — other models cater for 4.8L or 6.9L. With 11 speeds to choose from, this is a powerful machine that easily handled all textures of mixture on test from light cake batter to thick enriched dough.
The design does take some getting used to, especially if you're used to the tilt-head models. We found inserting and removing the bowl from the pins took a certain knack as there's a clip at the back of the bowl to hold it in place.

KitchenAid Bowl-Lift Heavy Duty 5KSM7591

KitchenAid Bowl Lift Heavy Duty 5KSM7591

This mixer has a powerful 500W motor, fit to deal with large quantities of heavy mixes from bread doughs to biscuits. It comes with a 6.9-litre stainless steel bowl, plus nylon-coated dough hook and flat beater, wire whisk and pouring shield. It's a tall machine so would be unlikely to fit under traditional kitchen cupboards.

KitchenAid Bowl-Lift Professional 5KSM7990

KitchenAid Bowl Lift Professional 5KSM7990

This mixer is fit for professional use. It includes a wire guard and 6.9-litre stainless steel bowl with accessories of a dough hook, wire whisk and flat beater, plus a removable pouring chute that attaches to the wire guard. It has a 325W motor which is more than enough to handle most mixes.

KitchenAid mixer attachment deals 2024

KitchenAid Spiralizer

Kitchen Aid Spiralizer

Best blow-out spiralizer

This attachment has two blades for noodles and two for ribbon slices. A spiked pad holds the veg securely and, with the slide of a switch, the mixer’s motor drives the blade towards the veg for effortless spiralizing.

KitchenAid Classic vs Artisan

Roughly the same size and with the iconic tilt-head design, the KitchenAid Classic and KitchenAid Artisan are in many ways fairly similar. If choosing between the two, there are a few keys differences to consider depending on what you're looking for in your stand mixer.

Capacity: the KitchenAid Classic has a slightly smaller bowl capacity of 4.3 litres, while the Artisan holds 4.8 litres (except for limited edition models which come with a 4.7 litre bowl). This means with the Artisan model you have slightly more room to play with, but honestly the difference is negligible and is roughly the equivalence of one small egg white if making meringues.

Price: the KitchenAid Classic and the standard KitchenAid Artisan model 5KSM125 will both set you back £449, although there are, of course, deals right now to bring this price down. However, if you'd like a greater choice of colours, accessories or personalisation the price of the Artisan model increases from £449 to £799 to the priciest option (the limited edition Blossom colour with hammered bowl).

Colour: KitchenAid mixers are known for their bright colours, and if this is what you're after the Artisan model is certainly the way to go with the widest choice of hues available. The Classic model comes in a choice of white or back with a matte or shiny finish.

How to get a good deal on KitchenAid

KitchenAid is one of the most recognisable names in the world of stand mixers, with a range of other products also available in its range of bright colours. While it's fairly unusual for new models of the stand mixers to be released, there are new colours and accessories to keep an eye out for, some of which are limited edition so will be unlikely to be available in sales.

When looking for a good deal it's important to think about what you're looking for in your stand mixer. Questions like how many people you'll be baking for and how versatile you need you're mixer to be are important to ask yourself before you start looking for deals. It's also important to note that you'll sometimes find deals on unusual colours or bowls where retailers are trying to clear stock. If you're less concerned with the way your stand mixer looks, or are after something different to stand out in your kitchen, this can be a great way to make a saving.

How do we select KitchenAid deals?

Our expert reviews team spend their time rigorously testing and reviewing appliances to make sure you know which one is right for you. This combined with years of working the biggest annual sales events means that we are dab hands at cutting through the noise to spot a good deal.

We always recommend shopping at trusted retailers to make sure that you're getting the product which you've purchased. Remember that if you spot a deal that seems too good to be true, chances are it probably is.

In our deals pages you'll always find the price saving and the percentage saving listed. It's important to look at both of these when you're keeping an eye out for deals. Retailers often list one or the other which can make the deal seem better than it is. For example a saving of £100 seems like a lot, but on an £1,000 product this is only a saving of 10 per cent.
