Black Friday NOW: KitchenAid Stand Mixers

KitchenAid mixers are always a hot item on Black Friday.  Lots of stores advertise them on sale because they know people are looking for them and it will get them in the doors.  But is that really when they are the best price?

Well, that all depends on if less hassle is worth a couple extra bucks.

The general consensus on Black Friday is that the KitchenAid 5qt stand mixers will be $279.99.

BJ’s Wholesale Club will have the KitchenAid 5qt Artisan Stand Mixer with White Painted Bowl for $229.99 – so if you’re a BJ’s member, you have the best deal.  Everyone else, you have other options.

It’s the KitchenAid Artisan 5-qt. Stand Mixer that is going to be $279.99 everywhere. But guess what?  It’s already $279.99 at Kohl’s.

Yes, you can get the KitchenAid Artisan 5-qt. Stand Mixer for Black Friday price at Kohl’s.  Plus you’ll earn $50 Kohl’s Cash to spend from 11/20 to 11/27.  So buy the stand mixer now and have $50 Kohl’s cash to spend on Black Friday.   If you wait until Black Friday to purchase from Kohl’s you’ll earn $75 Kohl’s Cash – so there is that consideration.  But your out of pocket will be the same.  AND you don’t have to worry about it going out of stock, especially if you want a certain color (Kohl’s offers the mixer in over 25 colors!).

A step down from the Artisian Stand Mixer is the KitchenAid Classic Plus 4.5-qt. Stand Mixer.  This one is in all the Black Friday ads at $199.99.  But guess what?  It’s always $199.99.

It’s regularly priced at $199.99 on Amazon.

It’s on sale on Macys.com for $199.99 right now.

At Kohl’s, it’s $199.99 with $40 Kohl’s Cash.  (Again, if you wait until Black Friday, you’ll still pay $199.99 but you’ll get $60 Kohl’s Cash instead.)

Unfortunately, the Classic Mixer only comes in silver or white.  So if you want a color, it’s going to cost you extra to get the Artisan one.
