As an editor on GH's deals team, I've been busy sifting through hundreds of kitchen deals to find the best sales worth shopping for Black Friday, and I am here to report that KitchenAid's deals are now in full swing. I'm talking up to 30% off the brand's stand mixers and almost 60% off select accessories.
Experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Lab have evaluated a variety of KitchenAid appliances firsthand, including its cult classic stand mixer and equally popular hand mixers. It turns out that our Lab pros top stand mixer, the Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt Head Stand Mixer, is already on sale, along various attachments and handheld versions.

Why we love the KitchenAid stand mixer
KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Stand Mixer
After testing 13 different stand mixers, we named the Artisan Design Series 5-Quart Mixer best overall. "It’s a workhorse in my kitchen, helping cream sugar and butter for homemade cookie dough, kneading pizza dough or even for shredding chicken," said Kitchen Lab Reviews Analyst Eva Bleyer. It performed well in all of our Lab evaluations, acing our cookie dough and whipped cream tests. The mixer also received a perfect score for kneading.
The mixer comes with a set of attachments that make it versatile — it can tackle mixing batter, whipping butter, kneading dough and more. "The pasta attachment and ice cream bowl are favorites, but they also have a fun shaved ice attachment and even a food grinder for grinding cuts of meat at home," added Bleyer. The mixer comes available in a variety of solid colors to match any kitchen aesthetic.

Is Black Friday a good time to buy a KitchenAid mixer?
Absolutely. At Good Housekeeping, it's quite literally our job to compare pricing across retailers and track price history. We've found that Black Friday — along with other major holidays like Prime Day or even Mother's Day — are the best times to snag the top-rated mixer (over $100 off is a win). I asked Santa for the KitchenAid hand mixer this year and a little birdy (my Mom) told me he already bought it while on sale for Black Friday.
