Just looking at this gorgeous helper makes me want to hop in the kitchen and whip up some homemade ice cream.

Not only do KitchenAid mixers have the coolest attachments I've ever seen (like this ice cream maker attachment🍦), but in their most basic form, they are a work horse. The five-quart stand mixer has enough capacity to mix up to nine dozen cookies, four loaves of bread, or seven pounds of mashed potatoes in a single batch!

The KitchenAid mixer is investment-worthy (reviewers have passed them down through generations ), which means it costs a significant chunk of change to get one. The professional 5 Qt. mixer can run up to $449.99 each.

But today is the best day of all time, because the KitchenAid professional 5-quart mixer is on sale on Target for $224.99.

For example, this review from Halo13 says it all: "I absolutely love this mixer. All the info online for the Pro 5+ says it’s 450 max watts, but mine says 525 watts, which was a very nice surprise. It’s already more powerful then the Artisan 5-quart series, and not only is it powerful, it's also very steady. I've seen people having issues with mixers moving around as they were making bread dough, but this model is very stable. It also comes with the spiral dough hook instead of the C hook, which is perfect for me. With this price, it is an awesome deal."

There you have it. The KitchenAid pro 5 Qt. mixer is one of the most powerful and steady in the game. Time to get mixin'!
