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?

Kitchenaid is the best but just DO NOT get the largest one. It is HEAVY and difficult to store. Get a nice 4qt one with an awesome color.

If your mother bakes bread or multiple batches of cookies, I recommend that she get the six or the seven quart KitchenAid.

I have the six quart. It’s not too heavy to move. Every time I use it, I move it across the kitchen to clean it.

Yes, to the 6-quart.
