KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer - $279.99 ($170 Off; Originally $449.99)

Just in time for baking season, this mixer can tackle a batch of up to nine dozen chocolate chip cookies in one go — and still have energy to handle the rest of your to-bake list, thanks to its powerful motor. It has 10 speeds and 59 touchpoints for the mixing attachment inside the bowl, which means this machine is built to handle pretty much anything thrown in it, from whipping egg whites into a meringue to getting through some thick bread dough. Plus, the tilt-head design makes it easy to add ingredients and swap out your mixing attachment of choice.

The mixer comes with a five-quart stainless steel bowl, a coated flat beater, a coated dough hook, a six-wire whip, and a pouring shield so you can get cooking as soon as it's out of the box.

Get it while the deal's still available over at Bloomingdale's.
