Aldi’s sell-out stand mixer is back with a sleek new colourway - and it's even more affordable than before
Is this mixer the best affordable option?

Aldi's stand mixer is now back just in time for Bake-off season, and this time it's even cheaper than before. So, if you're looking for the best stand mixer to give your kitchen an update this autumn, then you may want to consider Aldi's latests offering.
You can always rely on Aldi for a bargain price, and at £39.99, shoppers can expect to make up to an £180 saving compared to the three-figure Kenwood mixer. It's even £10 cheaper than Aldi's last mixer drop - which at £49.99, we still thought was a great deal.
There's no denying that the Kenwood mixer (kMix Stand Mixer, £299) is incredible at what it does—our team of reviewers rated it the best stand mixer of 2024, calling it a powerful yet affordable mixer in their review. But if you've been trawling the market for a more budget option, we recommend looking into the Aldi Ambiano Stand Mixer.
There's no denying the Ambiano Classic Mixer is nice to look at. Its smooth, sleek design feels fresh and modern. Like the best stand mixers, it features multiple attachments, speeds and a pulsing option. At £39.99, it's one of the most affordable options on the market.
The kMix Stand Mixer is a classic for a reason. From it's classic glass bowl to it's powerful motor, there's a reason our team of reviewers rated it so highly. The proof is in the pudding for the 1000 watt motor - the Kmix is excellent at kneading bread and formaking meringue. Overall, it's a perfect mixer for keen home bakers.
So, what's new?
This time, the mixer is back in two sleek colourways - matte blue and matte grey. Don't get me wrong, they're not at all punchy and vibrant as a KitchenAid mixer, but they're still easy on the eyes.
Perfect for mixing, kneading and stirring gorgeous, fluffy dough to perfection this is a kitchen accessory of every baker's dreams. The pro tool features three different heads, including a balloon whisk, beater and dough hook.
The Ambiano mixer has six speed levels including a pulse function, allowing budding bakers to tailor it to the desired consistency for the ultimate mixing experience. They also have a spacious 5L mixing bowl and a splash protection lid to keep clothes clean - just like a kMix mixer.
Having a stand mixer takes all the hard work out of whipping up meringues, cake batters and frosting – doing the job in a fraction of the time.

Our Deputy Digital Editor, Rebecca Knight has the Aldi stand mixer at home at say 'It's is definitely noisy, but it gets the job done if you're an occasional baker or on a tight budget. The only downfall I found with it was when kneading dough as it can't be run for more than 10 minutes at a time. If you are a keen baker I'd personally recommend investing the extra money in a Kenwood if you can afford it.'
Aldi's mixer is a great affordable buy. In simple terms, it does what it says on the tin - which in my book, can only be a good thing.
To get your hands on the Ambiano mixer you'll have to act quickly - like all specialbuys, when it's gone, it's gone.
