If you're an avid home baker looking to whip up a storm of tasty treats this fall, we've raked up a deal you won't want to miss. This 5.5-quart KitchenAid stand mixer is a beautiful and versatile addition to any kitchen, and while it's usually pretty pricey at $450, today only you can snag it for just $280 at Best Buy -- a whopping $170 discount. It comes in four different colors, all of which are only on sale until 9:59 p.m. PT (12:59 a.m. ET) tonight, so be sure to get your order in before then if you don't want to miss out.

With 500 watts of power, this automatic mixer can whip even the densest ingredients into dough. And with 11 different speed settings, it's extremely versatile and great for kneading, folding, mixing and much more. It even has a half-speed setting so it won't mash or over-beat delicate ingredients like fruits and egg whites. And with a 5.5-quart capacity, it can handle enough dough for up to 11 dozen cookies or 7 pounds of bread per batch. It comes with a wire whip, flat beater and dough hook, and there's a bevy of other attachments available, including a food grinder, pasta maker and veggie spiralizer (all sold separately), that can help turn this baker's buddy into a full-on sous chef.
