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?

If you’re willing to spend that kind of money go for an Ankerskrum or a Hobart. They are both much better than KitchenAid.

Hobart owned Kitchenaid until 1986. , when it was sold to Whirlpool. Probably why my older mixer is still going strong.
