It’s not easy to admit this, but I’m a girl with a lot of hobbies, and one of my favourite pastimes is baking. Even my Tom’s Guide colleagues can attest that I do make some damn good sugar cookies. And while I own almost every kitchen appliance under the sun, there’s only one that has really propelled my love for baking, and that’s my KitchenAid stand mixer.
If you’re an avid baker, adding a KitchenAid stand mixer to your arsenal is a worthy investment. While it might be more of a splurge purchase, these stand mixers can do it all, from whipping up fluffy meringues to making pastry — and in a flash, too.
KitchenAid’s Artisan Stand Mixers come in a plethora of different colourways — including 2025’s colour of the year, Butter — and can be used for more than just mixing and whisking. You can purchase additional attachments, like a vegetable slicer or meat grinder, making it more than just a heavy-duty mixer. The catch? KitchenAid mixers are often slapped with a hefty fee, costing the average home baker upwards of AU$800, even when they’re on sale.
Right now, you can grab a KitchenAid KSM-150 Artisan stand mixer for a record-low AU$499 on Amazon — that’s a massive AU$400 saving! What’s even more impressive is that some of the best KitchenAid attachments are on sale too, during the maker’s own 30% off EOFY sale. So if you’re keen to grab an extra dough hook or beater, you can check out the full range of discounted accessories and attachments at KitchenAid’s EOFY storefront.
I’ve rounded up my top-rated KitchenAid attachments and the mixer below — all of which I’ve used alongside my own KitchenAid (or hope to nab during the sale myself!).
