West Elm is one of our favorite spots to shop for elegant, versatile furniture and decor that lasts a lifetime. While we would happily shell out the big bucks for their timeless pieces, it’s scoring fabulous furniture on sale days that brings us the most joy. So, if you’re anything like us, you’ll probably want to know about our newest West Elm discovery: the Outlet Deals Section. Chock full amazing finds at some of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen, the outlet section is a mixture of items on super sale and “Open Box” pieces that need a new home. The Open Box furniture, bedding, and decor has been previously unboxed, then returned due to minor blemishes, and now it’s ready for a new home. By blemishes, we’re talking hard-to-see scratches or slight wear. But don’t let that stop you, with some of these items up to 50 percent off, it’s more than worth it.

When it comes to cookware, there are a few big names you’ll find time and time again in the hearts, carts, and kitchens of home cooks everywhere. One of the most-loved brands across the globe? Le Creuset. The iconic cookware company popularized the Dutch oven in home kitchens nearly a century ago and has continued to make waves in the industry with stylish, colorful, and timeless pieces ever since. That being said, we have some exciting (and bittersweet) news to share. Le Creuset is retiring one of its classic hues. Fans and newbies alike, pay attention: This is your one last chance to get your hands on an LC piece in Fig before it disappears from their stock forever.

Every avid baker needs a KitchenAid stand mixer, the ultimate kitchen powerhouse appliance. Well worth the splurgy price, we consistently consider the Artisan Series to be the best stand mixer on the market thanks to its tilt-head style and relatively compact size.

But for a bowl-lift mixer that’s ideal for bread bakers and anyone who likes to make big batches, it’s all about the KitchenAid Pro Series — and we found a can’t-miss deal happening right now at QVC, where the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series Bowl Lift Stand Mixer is on sale for just $450. That’s $100 off the original asking price on the KitchenAid website! It even includes a bonus attachment, the icing on the proverbial cake.
If you’re not familiar with this KitchenAid stand mixer model, allow us to explain. This version is larger and more powerful than the Artisan mixer. It’s capable of churning out double batches, kneading tough bread dough, and, of course, tackling smaller tasks like whipping, beating, and mixing. It includes a larger 6-qt. bowl (the Artisan comes with a 5-qt. bowl), as well as attachments like a flat beater, dough hook, wire whip, and pouring shield. Each attachment helps accomplish a task, like whipping cream, kneading bread dough, or folding in delicate ingredients. The pouring shield (one of our favorite accessories) will be especially useful to avoid a puff of flour to the face when you slowly add dry ingredients.
The reason this model ranks as the best stand mixer for bread bakers is that it doesn’t budge an inch while kneading particularly tough doughs like ciabatta. We also love that its bowl-lift design (versus the tilt-head) makes it easy to operate and add ingredients along the way. The only caveat: It’s pretty tall, so if you’re planning on storing it on your counter, make sure you have enough space below your cabinets.
This special QVC bundle also includes the handy Flex Edge beater, which is ideal for doing all of your beating and mixing while simultaneously wiping down the sides of the bowl. Yes, really — you’ll never need to stop your mixer to scrape the sides down again!
Are you an avid bread or big-batch baker? Let this great deal on the KitchenAid bowl-lift stand mixer be the reason you finally press “add to cart.” After that, gather your favorite pumpkin dessert recipes ready ASAP, because you’ll be ready for fall baking season as soon as the first leaf hits the ground.
