Can Costco Help You Save On The Name-Brand KitchenAid Mixer?

Chocolate chip. Peanut butter. Gingerbread. Snickerdoodle. As the holiday season approaches, many of us already have visions of sugar cookies dancing in our heads, and it won't be long before it's time to pour over secret family recipes that can take hours to make or bake from scratch. Whether you need help before hosting a neighborhood cookie exchange or feeding a table full of hungry houseguests, or you are just looking for a must-have culinary gift for the baker in your life, can Costco help you save on the name-brand KitchenAid mixer?

We've come a long way from the first KitchenAid stand mixer, the Model H-5, which was first introduced to the public in 1919. Revolutionary for its time, the H-5 helped executive wives slice, strain, and mix foods like never before. More than 100 years later, the iconic KitchenAid mixer is as popular as ever. Although its looks have changed considerably, from the upright white design to a sleek bowl-lift model available in colors like Cherry Red and Silver, the stand mixer is still one of the top kitchen appliances people cannot live without. 

Along with hands-free mixing of everything from cookie dough with a flat beater to frothy egg whites with an 11-wire elliptical whisk, KitchenAid mixers are compatible with a number of bowls and attachments that are perfect for everything from pastry to pasta. Our team loves the Good Days' Lyfehacks Adhesive Hooks to keep your standing mixer attachments organized.

Hundreds of happy Costco members have purchased the KitchenAid 6 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. Regularly priced at $399.99, the small kitchen appliance is currently eligible for a $100 manufacturer's discount through November 17, 2024. This discount offsets a Costco Gold Star membership, which costs $65 annually. The membership club only sells appliances to members, so you'll have to join to purchase the KitchenAid mixer online or in stores. If you order online, you'll also be on the hook for a $9.99 shipping and handling fee.

Although you may be able to purchase refurbished bowl-lift stand mixers directly from the KitchenAid website for a lower price, Costco is the only major retailer that sells the KSM60SECXER model. Larger capacity bowl-lift options, including the KitchenAid 7 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer, are available on Amazon in an even wider range of colors like Blue Velvet and Feather Pink. But starting at $599, even with free delivery, the smaller Costco option helps you save.

No matter which size you choose, a KitchenAid stand mixer is an easy way to incorporate colorful appliances into your decor. In addition to a bright look that stands out, the mixers are easy to clean, and they are quiet yet powerful. Although KitchenAid stand mixers come with a one-year limited warranty, many home cooks and bakers report using theirs for a decade or more.
