Thanksgiving is coming up, and I’m breaking a sweat at the mere thought of how much food I need to prepare for my family.

This year, my boyfriend and I are taking responsibility for cheffing up lamb (our parents aren’t huge turkey fans), sweet potatoes, creamed spinach and more holiday essentials. I’ll admit, I’m not the best in the kitchen, but I just found an Amazon cooking essential on sale that makes me slightly less worried.

The KitchenAid Artisan, 5-Qt Tilt Head Stand Mixer, is 30% off right now in a pristine milkshake hue, and I’m rushing to add to cart.

The sturdy, metal device features 59 touchpoints, making for a wholesome blend. It’s compatible for both small and large amounts of ingredients, which can easily be poured in thanks to the tilt-head design.

Choose from 10 speeds, whether you want a slower stir or faster whip, depending on the type and texture of the ingredients.

Although milkshake is one of the only colors of the mixer on sale, it’s also available in pistachio, wildflower, feather pink, hibiscus and more fun hues that look cute on your counter.

With over 23,000 positive Amazon reviews, it’s no secret shoppers are fans.

“If you’re on the fence as to whether you ‘need’ this, BUY IT. It’s so much easier than fussing with a hand mixer (and I have a very good one) Especially if you have a health situation where you tire easily, and maybe don’t bake much, if at all, anymore,” one buyer wrote. “That applies to me. This isn’t merely a mixer on a stand, this is a valuable machine that does most of the work.”

Another admitted that even though the mixer skews on the pricier side, it’s worth the investment: “So I’ve been price watching this mixer for almost a year! It’s a lot of money but I know how good they are.”

Don’t wait until the week before Thanksgiving to get your kitchen holiday-ready. Shop the KitchenAid Artisan, 5-Qt Tilt Head Stand Mixer now, as it’s only 30% off for a limited time.
