KitchenAid
3.0
(7)
"We bought a KitchenAid mixer for just $218 from the Pro line last year :D it was from their Black Friday sale. It's working fine!"

"The kitchenaid attachment works basically exactly the same for basically exactly the same price but is smaller if you already have the stand mixer."
