$500 KitchenAid Mixer, $230 Refurbished

Several colors of the KitchenAid 5.5-Quart Lift-Bowl Stand Mixer drop from $499.99 to $229.99 directly at KitchenAid right now. These are certified refurbished mixers directly from KitchenAid, and they're inspected and restored to be just like a new KitchenAid mixer. Because it's directly from the manufacturer, it also includes a one-year warranty, and unlike some of the lower-end models, this one has all-metal gears, so it's designed to last a lifetime. You also get the flat beater, whisk, and dough hook attachments! I've been wanting to upgrade my KitchenAid mixer to a lift-bowl model because they're better suited for kneading bread dough (my old Artisan model has been through a lot of wear and tear from bread-making over the past five years). This is the absolute best way to get a KitchenAid mixer at a reasonable price, and you get lots of colors to choose from! Shipping is free.
