I use my stand mixer at least once a week, if not more. It’s the easiest way to whip up a batch of cookies, pizza dough, or even deli-style chicken salad. But it wasn’t really something I ever got used to until I was an adult—my mom drilled into my head that the only “fancy gadgets” you need in the kitchen are two hands and a spoon.
Now, I can’t imagine my kitchen without one. And sure, maybe I use it obsessively to make sure I’m getting my money’s worth. The model I have costs $499, so it’s definitely an investment piece. What if I told you there was a way to see if the stand mixer life is for you without dropping serious cash first? The Aldi Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer is back in stores, and at $49.99, it’s way more budget-friendly.

Why I Love It: This mixer proves that great baking gear doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
Why I Love Aldi’s $49 Stand Mixer
This piece compromises on price without sacrificing style. The sleek mixer comes in two colors: creamy white or bold red. It has a 5.3-quart stainless steel mixing bowl with a large handle. It also includes a splash guard to make sure flour doesn’t fly everywhere when you’re making Christmas cookies. And if you think, surely that won’t happen to me! I have news: it happens to everyone. It’s like a rite of passage in the stand mixer world.

There is a simple button on the side to lock or unlock the arm, which tilts up and down to allow the bowl to slide into place. The mixer is controlled by a dial with a digital display that allows you to select mixing speed and also see how much time has elapsed. No more guesswork when a recipe calls for mixing up dough for five to seven minutes!
This budget-friendly stand mixer is perfect for beginner bakers or home cooks who want to experiment with new appliances. It’s also great for anyone who does a ton of holiday baking but doesn’t really need it for the rest of the year. And if anyone in your family is a Great British Baking Show fan, this might be the perfect holiday gift!
This isn’t an exact dupe of the very famous—and very expensive—KitchenAid Stand Mixer. But the KitchenAid version retails for about $499.99. It is a prohibitively costly piece of kitchen gear, which is something Aldi has now faced head-on. The Ambiano Classic Kitchen Mixer is a budget-friendly $49.99.
When To Buy the Aldi Stand Mixer
It dropped in Aldi stores on October 22, and in classic Aldi Find form, it’s “here today, gone tomorrow.” The mixers cost $49.99 and are only available while supplies last. These are always a hot item, so check online first to see if your local Aldi has one in stock. This kind of deal is too good to pass up!
