It's no secret that KitchenAid is considered the gold standard when it comes to stand mixers, and seeing as my job entails testing kitchen products, I can vouch for these sturdy (and splurge-y) appliances. Most serious home cooks and bakers dream of owning one of these bad boys, but their high price tags often keep them out of reach. Well, not for long, thanks to this epic discount on KitchenAid's Classic Series 4.5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer at Walmart. The deal brings the kitchen essential down to $259 (from $359) — that's lower than you'll find it at Amazon and the best price we've seen this year.

The word Aid in its name isn't a throwaway — this timeless kitchen standby will do all the heavy lifting for you.

We compared prices at other retailers, and you won't find any better than Walmart's markdown — you'll save $100 on the creme de la creme of stand mixers! This workhorse usually costs upward of $360 (at least), and if you're serious about baking, it'll more than pay for itself with all the time and effort it'll save you.

Before I started writing about kitchen products for a living, I worked with kitchen products for a living — as a baker, to be exact. That said, I still bake pretty much every week, and my trusty KitchenAid stand mixer is what I reach for when I'm making cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I've probably made it using this mighty appliance. In fact, the bakery I worked at even used this very mixer for certain tasks — it's that good. Unlike flimsier mixers on the market, this one was built to last (there's a reason KitchenAids are often passed down from one generation to the next!), so you won't need to worry about replacing it after a year.

At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time and won't take up much room in your kitchen. Oh, and you'll get beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any dessert under the sun — though some people have also found savory uses, from mashing potatoes to shredding chicken.

Short on storage space? This beauty comes in six colors, and once you realize how much you can do with it (and how pretty it looks), you'll likely want to keep it right on the counter for all to admire.

With nearly 2,500 perfect ratings from satisfied shoppers, this KitchenAid mixer is, understandably, a Walmart fave.

Pros 👍

"My new favorite kitchen toy!" exclaimed one happy home cook. "I leave the stand mixer on my counter because I use it so often. I knead bread, make cookies, cake, brownies and whipped cream — lots of other stuff too. This mixer is so easy to use and clean and its elegant style is so professional looking. If you bake, you need this stand mixer."

This pleased purchaser agreed: "I’ve wanted one of these since childhood. I’ve already baked a cake and made mashed potatoes using this. It’s easy on your back and you can multitask."

"Greatest stand mixer ever," added another impressed baker. "Super easy to use; the mixing wand reaches the bottom so it mixes all the batter. It makes cooking effortless. I'd recommend it."

Cons 👎

"I bought this KitchenAid mixer for myself to replace an old one I gave to my sister. This one has the handle on the bowl and each of the paddles works well," wrote a generally pleased buyer. "The only thing I'd say is it would be helpful if they reached a little further to the bottom."

"Easy to use, but it's fairly heavy — but that goes along with how very well it's built," observed a final fan. "It's a very high-quality product ... It will outlast me!"
