EDITOR’S NOTE: Read our updated open thread about the newer model Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer here.
When fall arrives, Aldi gets serious about stocking baking supplies you may need for upcoming holidays like Thanksgiving. Over the years, we’ve seen Aldi sell several types of stand mixers, ranging from cheap to mid-priced to expensive. The most recent mixer in stores is the mid-priced Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer.
What We Know:
Aldi’s Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer sold for $59.99 in 2019. This is Aldi’s mid-range stand mixer, and it’s been around for a few years. Aldi sold a similar Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer for $59.99 in October of 2018 and October of 2017. The internet went a little gaga over Aldi’s mid-priced mixer in 2017, in part because it’s a lot cheaper than most other stand mixers of its type. Click here to read one blogger’s experience putting the mixer to the test with recipes like mashed potatoes, roll dough, and cake batter.
On the cheaper end of things, Aldi also sold a more basic Ambiano 4.6-Quart Stand Mixer for $29.99 in 2018 and for $24.99 in 2017. We own a slightly smaller 2016 model Ambiano 4-Quart Stand Mixer from Aldi. I try not to go overboard with carbs and don’t do a lot of hard-core baking, so it works for my family’s modest needs, which includes making banana bread and pumpkin bread. I mostly use it as a handheld mixer without the stand. Read our review of that mixer here.
In the upper price range, Aldi also sold an Ambiano Professional 4.8-Quart Stand Mixer for $129.99 in November of 2018. We don’t have any experience with that model.
Going back to the 2019 Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer (product code 98969), its features include:
- Six speed settings with pulse function
- A beater, dough hook, and whisk
- A choice of Red or Gray
- A detachable splash guard with opening to add ingredients
- A Stainless steel 4-quart bowl
- Planetary mixing action
- Tilting-head mechanism
- Removable parts that are dishwasher safe
- Nonslip rubber feet
What We Don’t Know:
We haven’t tried the Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer, so we can’t speak to how well it works. We don’t know who makes the stand mixer or what kind of warranty the 2019 mixer comes with, but the 2018 model had a three-year warranty.

I went to Aldi’s today to buy this stand mixer and was totally disappointed by the size of the bowl. It is tiny compared to my 20 year old mixer that has a 7qt. bowl. I looked online and you can buy a 4qt stand mixer less than $60.
So I guess i will be waiting for the right offer!
I bought stand mixer 2019, no manual.
Want to know how to release stainless bowl?
I have the same problem . of how to release the bowl
Where can I get the spare parts, knob for release the spinner up.
Model: CM802
Product code: 85692 09/2018
Here’s contact info for the company that services the warranty: https://www.aldi.us/en/about-aldi/warranties-manuals/warranties-detail/sis/si/ambiano-classic-stand-mixer-2/
Just found out if you turn bowl counter clockwise then lift up on it . It does come out.
I bought one and it looks fine for occasional use, but it seems that they changed whisk designs from last year and the whisk attachment won’t slide all the way up and lock in place. I spoke with customer service and they’re going to get back to me.
Is the attachment issue with just the whisk or the dough hook and beater too?
Have you used it at all?
Generally it is a very simple spring loaded mechanism. You push it in and twist and the pin slides in a slot to lock it. To unhook push in and twist in the opposite direction.
Well yeah. The other two are metal and work fine. The whisk body and shaft are plastic and won’t go far up the shaft so that’s possible.
If Ambiano does not replace the defective attachment, is it possible to use an aftermarket whisk available at Amazon. I think they have a few metal ones for $6-7??
How do you get the bowl off ? Or is it attached .That is my only problem!!! I dont do alot of baking except at Christmas. Please Please answer soon .
I have the mixer and I think you just have to twist the bowl and pull and it should come off
I purchased this mixer from Aldi to give my kitchenaid mixer a break. I like this little mixer and I especially like having the handle on the bowl. However, there’s something wrong with this as it seems to make a “clacking” noise and the top part of the mixer which does all the work is not all that steady. I’m going to speak to Aldi about replacing it. I don’t want a refund, I like this mixer and would very much like it replaced, I think this one is defective
I bought the product for Aldi in 2019 but the manual did not come in the box. However, it advertised on the box that it should have an owners manual. Sure would like to know where to get one from. It is now 2020 and I am just now attempting to use it to mix bread.
All you have to do is Google “Ambiano Stand Mixer Manual” and you’ll see downloadable manuals available for free.
I’ve used this stand mixer a handful of times in a couple months and the whisk attachment broke at the top where it attaches to the spinning mechanism. The plastic dust guard also cracked the second time I washed it
Where can i buy a fanbelt replacement of my classic ambiano mixer
Dear Sir or Madam,
My Ambiano Classic Stand Mixer’s beater broke. Product number 98970. I would be grateful if you could let me know where to get a replacement beater.
Many thanks

You’ll want to contact the company that services the warranty.
The mixer is a good product until you have a problem and then you find out that the company is and ass,I brought my mixer in August 2020 and do to right shoulder surgery it was a issue for to set it up for usage so I left in the box and just attempted to use on christmas eve to bake and the wire whisk was cracked at the rim called the company at the 800 number to purchase another one , was advised that I could not get anything from the company with a ricept well I was not trying to get a another mixer but the replacement of a whisk advised her this has been over several months now the best I could do is get a credit card statement states well we cant help you.so this makes me not want to do bussiness with this store
I need the mixing bowl as mine was junked when we cleaned up after Harvey. I called Aldi’s they referred me to Ambiano. I emailed Ambiano with product name and model number. They responded with an email that they no longer made this model and for me to contact Aldi’s. I’m thinking of chunking the base since I cannot find a mixing bowl that fits the mixer.
Wondering if anyone knows where to purchases a replacement wire whisk for this mixer?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
