1. A stand mixer having a vertical direction, a transverse direction, and a lateral direction, the stand mixer comprising:
a motor;
a head comprising a central shaft operably coupled to the motor and rotating about a central axis, and an offset shaft operably coupled to the motor and rotating about an offset axis; and
a mixing assembly comprising a transmission assembly mechanically coupling the central shaft and the offset shaft, and a mixer attachment mechanically coupled to the transmission assembly,
wherein the central shaft and the offset shaft provide an input motion and the transmission assembly generates an output motion from input motion, the mixer attachment moving in the output motion,
wherein the input motion is different from the output motion, and
wherein the transmission assembly is configured to rotate the mixer attachment at a speed slower than the input motion and to oscillate the mixer attachment, the output motion comprising a combination movement of rotation and oscillation.
