SAVE $200: The Best Buy Drop of the Day for March 4 is the KitchenAid 5.5-quart Bowl Lift stand mixer for $199.99. That's more than 50% off its usual $449.99 when you buy it through the Best Buy app.
Spring is inherently a motivational time for anyone who just can't do winter, arguably making it a better time than New Year's to start and stick to a new hobby.
If you're eyeing anything cooking related as your 2025 hobby, a KitchenAid mixer should definitely be in the mix. Best Buy's Drop of the day for March 4 just happens to be a Black Friday-worthy mixer deal: Get the $449.99 KitchenAid 5.5-quart bowl-lift stand mixer for $199.99. That's more than 50% off its usual $449.99 when you buy it through the Best Buy app. For reference, you'll be getting one of the most premium KitchenAid mixers for less than the Black Friday pricing of several smaller capacity mid-tier Artisan mixers.
To unlock this steal, all you have to do is check out in the "Drops" tab of the Best Buy mobile app. Drops only last for one day, but may be gone sooner than the official end of the day if inventory sells out — which it often does.
This particular KitchenAid has a bowl-lift design, which is sturdier and more ideal for large or thick batches than the less expensive tilt-head design. That durability also allows the bowl-lift models to harness double the power of the tilt-head ones, plus more flexibility when choosing a speed setting. If dough-intensive recipes like bagels or cinnamon rolls are high on your "to make from scratch" list, the bowl-lift is the way to go.

Past the mixer and stainless steel bowl, a dough hook, flat beater, and wire beater are also included with your purchase. There are a ton of attachments for KitchenAids, so consider putting your savings toward one of those. Think homemade pasta.
Leah Stodart is a Philadelphia-based Senior Shopping Reporter at Mashable where she covers essential home tech like vacuums and TVs as well as sustainable swaps and travel. Her ever-growing experience in these categories comes in clutch when making recommendations on how to spend your money during shopping holidays like Black Friday, which Leah has been covering for Mashable since 2017.
The robot vacuum beat in particular has cemented itself as Leah's main ~thing~ across the past few years. Since 2019, her expertise has been perpetually bolstered by the meticulous eye she keeps on robot vacuum deals and new releases, but more importantly, her hands-on experience with more than 25 robot vacuums tested in her own home. (This number has probably gone up by the time you're reading this.) That at-home testing is standardized through Mashable's robot testing guide — a granular scoring rubric for assessing all aspects of owning and using a robot vacuum on the daily — that Leah created herself.
Leah graduated from Penn State University in 2016 with dual degrees in Sociology and Media Studies. When she's not writing about shopping (or shopping online for herself), she's almost definitely watching a horror movie, "RuPaul's Drag Race," or "The Office."
