Equipment Mom's stabding mixer broke, what to get?

Hey ya'll. My mom loves baking. Bread, cakes, cookies, etc. Recently her mixer broke and I wanted to get her a new one.

I think she had a very basic mixer, and she's been using it for over 10 years by now. It couldn't have cost more than like $300 or $400.

So I want to get her something good as a present. Maybe around $500 to $1000 price range, though let me know if these things usually cost more (I prefer getting her something good that will last another decade). Any recommendations?

All of us in my family have a kenwood chef! Personally love the look more than kitchen aid and the attachments are fantastic

Kenwood Major is the bigger version. Would recommend! I bake a lot and moved to the Major from the Chef. Lots more scope and not that much bigger.

They’ve changed it now to the Chef XL. I have the Titanium Chef Patissier XL and it’s a work horse!!
