When shopping for a stand mixer, experts recommended this KitchenAid model for its 10 speed options, allowing you to slowly stir batter or quickly whip egg whites. The mixer has a lever to help you lift the bowl into position after you secure it to the base instead of a head that tilts back like other KitchenAid models. It’s compatible with attachments like meat grinders and pasta makers (sold separately) and comes with a flat beater, spiral dough hook and wire whip.

When do Target’s Black Friday deals go live?
There are two types of deals you can shop during Target’s Black Friday sale:
Weeklong Black Friday Deals, which debut every Sunday through Thanksgiving weekend. You can get a sneak peek at weekly deals every Friday in the Target Weekly Ad.
The Deal of the Day, which lasts for 24 hours while supplies last. Target will highlight a new Deal of the Day through Dec. 24.
Deals are available online and in-stores, and select deals are online exclusives. You can use Target’s curbside pickup (what the retailer calls Drive Up) and order pick-up options to get your products in as soon as two hours with no minimum purchase, or use same-day delivery through Shipt to receive orders in one hour (no membership fee required).
Does Target price match Black Friday deals?
Target’s Holiday Price Match Guarantee runs from Oct. 6 to Dec. 24, allowing you to price-match deals you purchase during Black Friday sales. If you shop early and Target lowers the price of an item you bought later in the season, you can request a price match within 14 days of purchase. Proof of purchase is required for all price adjustments and Target only price matches for a limited number of competitors.
Is Target open on Thanksgiving?
No, Target is not open for in-store shopping on Thanksgiving. The retailer announced that it will close stores on Thanksgiving moving forward in 2021 after it did so during the pandemic to minimize crowds.
What’s Target’s Black Friday return policy?
Target does not have a special Black Friday return policy. The retailer offers free returns on most new, unopened items within 90 days of purchase. There are specific holiday return policies for electronics and entertainment products purchased between Oct. 6 and Dec. 25, however — read more here.
Target RedCard vs Target Circle
Anyone can shop Target’s Black Friday sale, but the retailer offers two programs that can help you save even further and earn rewards during the event to use towards future purchases.
The Target RedCard is a store card that can only be used at Target. The Target Debit Card, Target Credit Card and Target Mastercard are each considered a RedCard (though you can use the Target Mastercard at any merchant that accepts Mastercard). They all give you access to the same benefits, including a 5% discount on eligible purchases, including during Black Friday. You can also get free standard shipping on most items, free two-day shipping on eligible items and an additional 30 days to return purchases beyond the standard 90-day return policy. You can learn more about other credit cards that are beneficial to use while shopping at Target from our friends at CNBC.
Target Circle is a free loyalty program that offers members rewards and other perks. Members earn 1% in Target Circle earnings every time they make an eligible purchase in stores or online (purchases made with a RedCard do not receive these earnings). Eventually, you can build up earnings and use them towards a Target purchase. Target Circle members also get access to special discounts and can get 5% off a single purchase for their birthday. Members can participate in Target’s Community Giving Program, too. Members can earn and cast votes to help direct where Target makes donations to select nonprofits. If you’re a Target RedCard holder as well, you can link it to your Target Circle account to take advantage of perks offered through the rewards program.
