There are some kitchen appliances that make you wonder, "Why didn’t I get this sooner?" For us, a stand mixer is one of those gadgets. Not only do they make both cooking and baking tasks easier, they can save you a ton of time in the kitchen. If you’ve been holding off on one of these cooking staples because of their typically high price (our favorite model, the KitchenAid Artisan 5-quart stand mixer, will currently run you around $400), now is the time to act, because Kohl’s currently has a popular alternative, the Cuisinart Precision Master 5.5-Quart stand mixer, up for grabs for less than $200 as part of its Friends and Family Sale.

Our reviewers found this mixer to be a top performer when it came to churning up cake mix and whipping egg whites together, making it a great option for cake bakers. Overall, it also got a good rating for its performance and quiet operation. Where it really excelled, however, was in its ease of use, with reviewers applauding the smooth-turning dial and the simple switch that's used to tilt the head. In fact, they said it trumped the KitchenAid in this department!
One thing to keep in mind however is that this mixer doesn’t perform as well as others with heavy loads, such as thick dough for bread, so if you're looking to do a lot of big lifting, this might not be the model for you. For small batches of dough (enough for two loaves of bread), you should be fine, though.
Another great feature is the range of accessories that are available for this mixer. While you’ll get the three standard attachments in your box, including a chef's whisk, flat mixing paddle and dough hook, much like the KitchenAid, this Cuisinart machine also has additional attachments available for purchase (think pasta roller and cutters, $143.99 with the code, a food spiralizer that's $39.99 with code, and more).
Your purchase also comes with the signature heavy-duty stainless-steel bowl, a splash guard with a pour spout and a recipe book.Remember, the additional 20% discount ends on March 21, so don't wait too long to check out this versatile mixer!
