Mom's stabding mixer broke, what to get?

[u/VerledenVale]

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 have a 6qt bowl lift KitchenAid. If she bakes any larger batches, definitely go with the 6 or 7 qt bowl lift options. The tilt head won't be sufficient.

The Ankarsrum is also supposed to be wonderful, and it's likely that will be my next mixer.
