KitchenAid Stand Mixer Alternatives

kitchenaid mixers

KitchenAid Stand Mixers have been a fan favorite for as long as we can remember, and we’re sure some of you still wish you could add one to your kitchen. Since they are pretty expensive, we’ve got some high-quality KitchenAid stand mixer alternatives that are a little more affordable and still get the job done.

For this post, we’re comparing each of these mixers to the 4.5-Quart Classic Mixer. This is the model that retailers discount most often, so we’ll be taking into account its size, power, and features when comparing each of the mixers below. For Black Friday, the lowest prices of the year, we usually see this KitchenAid model on sale for $180. If you have your heart set on a KitchenAid, try to find this model under $300.

Aucma 6-Speed 7.4-Qt. Stand Mixer – $126

This is a great alternative option! With a bigger bowl capacity and a more powerful motor, this $126 price point is hard to beat. It also has quite a few color options to choose from, whereas the KitchenAid Classic has two. Prices range from $125.99 - $169.99, depending on the color.
