Now if you've ever identified yourself as the "baker" of your friends or family, we know you've drooled over these mixers before — until you've seen the price tag. These mixers are built to last, and their cost reflects that, which means finding them with significant markdowns can be tricky. That's where buying refurbished can really help.

This product is certified refurbished, meaning it has been restored to look and perform like new (which many reviewers say it does on both counts). It's also backed by a 30-day return period.

If you don't usually spend a ton of time in the kitchen, you still might be wondering what exactly the draw is here. We're happy to explain. KitchenAid mixers are incredible for a bunch of baking and cooking needs. With 10 different speeds and even more attachments — this one comes with a flat beater, dough hook, and whisk — there's a ton of variety in what you can make, from breads to cookies, cakes, and even mashed potatoes.

If you're so inclined, there are 10 additional attachments you can purchase, from pasta makers to spiralizers to meat grinders and even ice cream makers to up the functionality of this bad boy. Combine those possibilities with a six-quart bowl, and you'll have plenty of goodies to share.

Even if you're more of a casual baker, a KitchenAid can really make the process more enjoyable. Or — random thought — it could be a great gift for the baker or chef in your life. Check out this stand mixer while it's $100 off for a limited time only at Walmart.
