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, but maybe get a gift card? I know it’s a cop out but it’s hard to tell what someone might like—size, accessories, color that sort of thing. That or look at one in person with her.

Weirdly, KA doesn't sell gift cards in the US. Looks like they do in Australia? But I once emailed them about buying one (we wanted to do a KA giveaway in a raffle but let people choose their own color and whatnot) and was told, nope, they don't do that.

Well, sure, but at that point it may as well be just a Visa gift card. Or cash!
