KitchenAid Stand Mixer Pricing

Much to my dismay, there was not a lot of price variance for the same mixer model between retailers. It is possible that since KitchenAid has their "Authentic Retailer", they are able to mandate prices like Apple and their iPods.

Because of this, I won’t spend a lot of time supplying prices for individual retailers (Though I did do a lot of research on this). On a similar note, I didn’t visit every online store and check their price. I checked the main ones, including Amazon and eBay.

Pricing Summary

How do you like that? A summary before any of the data. I figured that many people won’t care about my research data.

Buying In The Store (Stubborn)

If you insist on buying in a local retailer, it doesn’t really matter which store you buy it from. The Classic model will be about $200, the Artisan will be $300, and the Pro 600 will be $400. If this isn’t the price at your store, try a different one.

Buying Online (Wise)

If you are up for buying online, I tip my hat to you. Not only are the prices cheaper, but you have greater selection of the many colors that KitchenAid offers. I bet your local retailer doesn’t carry thirty different colors, do they? I would recommend Amazon.com for buying online, they seem to be about 15% less than local stores. eBay is another great place to look for these, even new.

Buying Used or Refurbished (Practical)

With the stand mixers, you don’t always have to buy them new. These last for decades and thus there is nothing wrong with buying one that is used or refurbished.eBay has an enormous amount of auctions for KitchenAid stand mixers for sale in used and new-in-box. A used mixer can be consistently found for half the price of the new item in stores. This is absolutely the best deal that you can count on finding.
KitchenAid has a massive refurbished program and sells through their website in addition to eBay (Their account is KitchenAid). Their eBay listings ended up being about 5% cheaper than through their website. They all come with warranties.

Supporting Data

As mentioned earlier, I won’t really cover buying these magnificent machines in your local retail store. The prices are pretty much all the same and the only way you will find a deal is if it is on some special sale, which I can’t of course predict. I’m covering consistent data.

Table: Documents the price difference between used, new, and retail mixers as a percentage. This is perhaps the most important information I have here!

You can see that even buying the mixers new on eBay is a fabulous deal. Some interesting statistics to highlight are that:

• Buying a new mixer on eBay is about 27% cheaper than buying in a store.
• A used mixer in good condition is about 25% cheaper than buying it new on eBay.
• Therefore, a used mixer on eBay is about half the cost of a new one from the store.
• Refurbished mixers (which are practically new) are about 37% less than the cost of a new item from a retailer.
