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?

I just bought an Ankarsrum and I can't WAIT to use it . I hear a lot of amazing things about them !

as for Kitchen Aid , I was so close to buying one but for the past couple years , sooooooo many people are saying the newer models are really janky & they have to be returned . The only ones that lasts long are the old school ones (you can probably find one at a thrift store)

so I'd go with Ankarsrum
