Baking can be messy, especially when you add ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer in operation. Kenmore wants to solve that problem with its latest countertop appliance. The Kenmore Elite Ovation 5-Quart Stand Mixer is built with an opening at the top of the mixer through which you pour ingredients into the 5-quart mixing bowl. A built-in splash guard that surrounds the entire bowl is supposed to keep your ingredients from flying out.
The Kenmore Elite Ovation 5-Quart Stand Mixer goes on presale today on Sears' website for $450 (Sears controls the Kenmore brand), and the first 500 Shop Your Way members will receive $100 back in program points.
