Best Selling Mixer of Dec 2016
This honor goes to the KitchenAid KL26M1XER Professional 6-Qt Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. Apparently Empire Red remains the top color choice among most shoppers!
2nd Best Selling Mixer of Dec 2016
KitchenAid manages to capture both the #1 and #2 spots this month for best selling stand mixers. Not surprising given they are one of the most popular brands on the market! This month the number two seller is the KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer. Again the most popular color appears to be Empire Red, but you can also check out over 20 other colors available on this specific model.
3rd Best Selling Mixer of Dec 2016
We finally have a brief break from KitchenAid! Hamilton Beach sneaks in here with their cheapest stand mixer which may be sufficient for the casual, light baker. You will want to read our more in-depth review of this mixer before deciding if it is right for you. We only ranked it 3 stars due to several concerns, but given the price point and the amazing volume of Amazon reviews around the 4 star mark, you may decide you can live with it.
4th Best Selling Mixer of Dec 2016
KitchenAid roars back into the top 7 with their Classic 250-Watt 4.5Qt Tilt-Head stand mixer. In the number 4 selling position on Amazon for kitchen mixers, this is an economically priced mixer that has been around for quite a while. At 250 watts it is not the most powerful stand mixer, and in fact is comparable to make hand mixers.
A stainless steel bowl, strong track record of reliability, and decent capacity make this a good choice for the casual baker. As mentioned in our comprehensive comparison of KitchenAid models, this would not be the best choice for making larger batches of bread dough or cookies. If you are a serious bread baker you should check out our thoughts on the best mixer for dough.
5th Best Selling Mixer of Dec 2016
KitchenAid remains in the mix at number five for December. The Professional 5 Plus 5-Quart bowl lift stand mixer is actually a discontinued model from KitchenAid, but continues to sell well. Again this position in the ranking is for the Empire Red color which is not surprising at this point.
