Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer

EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally wrote this post as an open thread. In 2025, we bought this mixer and put it through a full review.
When fall arrives, Aldi gets serious about stocking baking and cooking supplies you may need for upcoming holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year.
Over the years, I’ve seen Aldi sell several types of stand mixers, ranging from cheap to mid-priced to expensive. Aldi sells most mixers under its Ambiano brand, which is not a separate company but rather is the Aldi private label for various kitchen products, including electric grills and griddles, waffle makers, rice cookers, and more.
The most recent mixer in Aldi stores is the mid-priced Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer (or, the online Aldi ad called it the Ambiano Classic Kitchen Machine). I’ve seen Aldi sell a model similar to this one several times going back at least to 2017.
The Ambiano Classic Kitchen Machine cost $49.99 in October of 2025.
That’s the same price it cost in October of 2024 and 2023. That’s down from $69.99 in October of 2022. Going farther back, this mixer sold for $59.99 in 2019 and $79.99 in 2021, so I’ve seen this model go up and down in price over the years.
You’ll easily pay more than $100 for similar stand mixers on Amazon.
Aldi usually sells this about once a year, and it was most recently scheduled to arrive in stores October 22nd, 2025. It’s an Aldi Find, which means each store should receive one shipment, and after that sells out, it’s gone until next year. Aldi does not offer online ordering if this is out of stock at your local store.
Here’s more information from the box:
- Offers eight speed settings and turbo function using an adjustable control dial
- Convenient digital display shows speed settings and continuous processing time
- Includes flat beater (ideal for smooth cake batter), stainless steel wire whisk, dough hook, splash guard with fill opening, and a 5.3-quart capacity bowl
- Stylish steel mixing bowl
- 420 watts
- For blending, kneading, and stirring
- Features swiveling drive arm for simple filling or removal of mixing bowl
- Includes anti-slip feet for greater stability
- Features overheating protection.
The mixer in 2025 comes with a three-year warranty serviced by Protel, which is a common Aldi warranty service provider. For service, call 1-855-754-8297 or email service-us@protel-service.com.
Unboxing and Trying Out the Mixer:
When you open the box, you’ll find the mixer itself with a detachable bowl. There’s are also three attachments: a whisk, a flat beater, and a dough hook. In addition, this comes with a splash guard and a user manual.
The manual is useful to look through before using the mixer. Be warned that the manual has very small print, which is a problem I’ve also seen with some manuals for other Aldi products.
Here are a few key tips from the manual. There is a release button on the side of the mixer that lifts up the drive arm so you can put the bowl in place and position the attachments and splash guard. The splash guard attaches to the drive arm from below. You rotate it until it locks into place. Stirring tools (whisk, flat beater, dough hook) are pushed and twisted onto the drive arm. To lower the drive arm, push the release button and push the arm down while holding the release button.
When you plug in the power cord, the control knob on the side of the mixer will light up, showing all the symbols initially, and then only displaying the power symbol.
To use the mixer, press the power symbol on the control knob. Then, turn the knob to start the mixer and adjust speed control, from level 1-8, or turbo. The speed level will show on the display along with running time. The manual notes the turbo function is only for ingredients in smaller quantities and with low resistance. To activate turbo mode, press and hold “Turbo” on the display. To turn off the mixer from any speed, turn the speed control until the display shows “0” or press the power symbol.
The splash guard and stirring attachments are dishwasher safe, and you can clean the rest of the mixer with a damp cloth.
So far, I’ve used this to mix birthday cake batter from a boxed mix. It was easy to use, the batter mixed up beautifully, and the bowl and attachments were easy to clean. The handle on the bowl is okay but not as ergonomically comfortable as some other mixing bowls with handles that I own.
The Verdict:
The Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer is a budget-friendly mixer that’s similar to other brands you’d pay a lot more for. The mixer includes a bowl, whisk attachment, flat beater, dough hook, and a splash guard. It also comes with a three-year warranty for peace of mind. So far, we like this mixer, and many of our readers speak highly of it as well. We’ll update this post as we continue to use the mixer.
I have the 2018 Ambiano Professional 4.8 qt Stand Mixer. It was $129.99 when first offered, but the price was lowered to $99.99 by the time I purchased it (the last one my store had in stock). It is very much like a Kitchen Aid stand mixer (and can use KA attachments via the front port). It is fantastic. I use it often and it does the job. It’s like having a KA stand mixer for a fraction of the price. I love mine and am glad I got it before ALDI changed the type of stand mixers they now offer.
Thanks for the info!
Hello all! Just purchased one. Blue. $49.99. Never owned anything more than a hand mixer. This device is super sweet. I just finished making some carrot cake cupcakes. Oh my, my… No mess. No mess at all. And the machine does all the work! What could be better? Mixed the carrots and chopped nuts into the batter without even blinking an eye. The splash guard kept coming off but once I took a closer look at it I just didn’t have it SNAPPED into place correctly. Since I don’t bake too much (I’m a middle age fool who lives by himself) there would be NO WAY I would spend hundreds of dollars on the fancy name mixer. For a mixer in my budget this one will be just fine.
Thanks for sharing!
Love Reading Your Comments on The Mixer ! I too retired Wanted the Baking Experiences with My Grandchildren !!!! Do agree Great Mixer for Price and My Use ! Bought a Red One !!!! So Cute on My Counter !!!!
This is returning to Aldi the week of October 23rd, 2024, while supplies last. It’s still $49.99.
Do you by chance know what the wattage will be? I bought one last year, it worked great, but it wasn’t powerful enough for kneading heavy doughs. I purchased an industrial one, but was told that these would be making their rounds again this year. (I broke mine scraping the sides, not paying attention, reading a recipe on my phone) but would purchase again if the wattage was more than the 420 watts it had last year. UK model is 800 watts.
It is 420 watts. I just bought it today. I haven’t been able to snap the splash guard on yet. Seems like too much force may be required to get it locked into place properly and I’m afraid of breaking something.
I’m having same problem will probably return
I have one from a couple yrs ago and bowl has no handle. Last week I bought the last one my Aldi had ( with bowl with handle) …got it home and splash guard doesn’t snap into place…will have to return it! 🥲
To those having trouble with the splash guard. You don’t have to use the splash guard! I have an inexpensive brand from years ago that did not come with a plash guard and have also read reviews of many brands where the people posting DO NOT use their splash guard.
I did buy one of these in 2023 looking for something inexpensive that has a HANDLE ON THE BOWL which is what I was missing greatly with no thought about a splash guard. As a very senior single woman with a combination of other things happening and no events that I was taking something to that needed a mixer to make I have not used the Aldi one. Does the current one have a timer that limits how long you can run it at once?
The 2025 model has a timer that shows how long it’s been running, and the manual recommends not running it for more than 10 minutes at a time. I don’t think it automatically turns off after 10 minutes, though.
Looking forward to possibly getting this year’s model. For the same reason as the gentleman above wrote in 2024, I cannot see investing in an actual KitchenAid. I wish my husband had lived to see this. He wanted to get me the kitchen aide, but I always said no- I cannot justify such an expense for something I would barely ever use.
I got this last week and used it right away just in case there were issues. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn’t have to return it. I used it once and can’t wait to bake again which I will do for Halloween. I wasn’t planning on baking for Halloween but I want to use my new mixer again! This thing is a dream come true as, like many in the reviews, I couldn’t see spending hundreds of dollars not could I afford to do so. I am thrilled! No issues with the splash guard (don’t be afraid to use a bit of force to click it in place). No issues with anything. How much do I love Aldi right now. 🙂
We just tried it out and are happy with it as well. No problems attaching the splash guard either. It’s a nice mixer so far!
