A recent viral claim suggested that KitchenAid was offering its mixer at an incredibly low price of just Rs 640 (or 7.43$) after filling out a short form, sparking widespread reactions on social media as users questioned its validity. However, Fact Crescendo has confirmed that this claim is misleading. This article presents the findings of our investigation into this claim.
Social Media Claim
Recently, a claim posted on social media quickly went viral, urging users to fill out a short form online to receive a KitchenAid mixer at the lowest price. The post rapidly gained traction, sparking significant reactions, comments, and shares from users across platforms.
Many users were excited by the supposed offer, eagerly discussing the possibility of purchasing the mixer at such a low price. The post generated significant buzz, leading many to believe that KitchenAid was indeed offering the mixer for Rs 640.
For more information and specifics regarding this post, you can find the details below.
Given the claim’s extensive dissemination and the considerable attention it has received from the internet community, we believed it was necessary to perform a fact-check on the above subject.
Fact Check
Fact Crescendo monitors and verifies claims through official KitchenAid announcements, relevant news updates, and its own research. This investigation has led us to the following conclusions:
A review of KitchenAid India’s official website confirms that no promotion exists offering a stand mixer for Rs 640, with the lowest-priced model, the Artisan Mini Series 3.3 L Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, listed at Rs 33,500 (or 389.10$). According to KitchenAid India also, their stand mixers typically range in price from Rs 33,500 to Rs 51,000 (or 592.36$), depending on the specific model, features, and configuration.
Additionally, no announcements or offers related to this claim have been found on KitchenAid’s verified social media accounts, press releases, or email newsletters. Any legitimate discounts or promotional offers on such high-end products would be clearly communicated through recognized and verified channels.

These products are also available through authorized retailers, both online and offline, including trusted e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart, as well as official KitchenAid dealers. These findings strongly indicate that the viral claim is not supported by any official or credible source.

KitchenAid Australia and New Zealand has also alerted customers about unauthorized retail websites targeting users via social media. The brand cannot verify whether the products sold on these sites are genuine or if buyers will actually receive their orders. Consumers concerned about compromised information are advised to contact their credit card provider and report the site to a consumer protection agency.
Furthermore, legitimate promotions from KitchenAid would never be associated with short forms or external links leading to unknown or third-party websites, as these are often used in fraudulent schemes.
In addition, Fact Crescendo also verified the shortened link (TinyURL) provided in the claim and found that it does not lead to the official KitchenAid website or offer a KitchenAid mixer for Rs 640. Instead, the link redirects to an unrelated site, which suggests it may be a phishing attempt or scam.
Tips to Stay Safe Online:
- Always verify deals through official brand websites.
- Be cautious of unrealistic discounts and pressure tactics like “limited offer” claims.
- Avoid clicking on shortened or suspicious links from unverified sources.
