Another star product is returning to Aldi's middle aisle this week and we couldn't be more excited about it. The popular, classic Ambiano stand mixer is back in stores and you'll want to snap it up before it sells out.
When choosing one of the best stand mixers you can expect to pay anywhere between £100-£600, even more in some cases, one thing is for sure, you won't pay less than the bargain model to be found in the middle aisle of Aldi. That won't stop us from lusting after the new Kitchenaid model though!
The incredibly affordable Ambiano Classic Aldi Stand Mixer is just £39.99 and is returning to stores this week – in time for the return of The Great British Bake Off next week.
Unfortunately, stocks are limited and with two new contemporary colourways, we don't expect the middle aisle to stay stocked for long.

Stand mixers: Budget and expensive
RRP: £39.99 | Unfortunately can't purchase the Aldi stand mixer from their website you can have a preview before heading into stores. For such an impressive price you get a lot of settings and helpful features which make baking much less stressful. The stainless steel bowl and finishes solidify this mixer as an appliance you'd be happy to have pride of place on your countertops.
RRP: £269 | Looking to make a little bit more of an investment? This Kenwood model is perfect, not only does it come with a two-year guarantee but it's a 6-in-1 machine that comes with a plethora of attachments. There won't be a task in the kitchen you can't call this mixer on to help with. With a three-litre bowl and 1000W motor, this is a machine that will see you through years of recipes.
RRP: £599 | Perhaps the most iconic and popular stand mixers on the market, these artisan KitchenAid models are built to last and are a true investment. With four mixing attachments and a pouring shield, you'll be prepared for any baking or cooking task ahead of you. This is certainly a splurge-worthy appliance and we couldn't love it more in this pistachio colourway.
If you're a keen baker then a stand mixer will be a really useful addition to your kitchen. It's useful for all the obvious things like beating cake batters or whipping up cream.
"A stand mixer comes into its own when making things that require an extended mixing time or an element of elbow grease, such as making meringues or kneading bread," says Rose Fooks, w&h's deputy food editor.
"I also always use a stand mixer when making bread," explains Rose. "Most come with a dough hook attachment specifically for kneading doughs. It takes the effort out of the kneading, but also massively reduces mess, especially when working with a sticky dough." Luckily the classic Aldi stand mixer comes with a non-stick coated dough hook for this very purpose.
Rose's top tip: "The key to a successful meringue is to make sure that the sugar is fully dissolved in the egg white. This can take a fair while and is something I certainly don't have the upper arm strength to achieve or even the patience to do with a handheld electric mixer. Using the whisk attachment you can walk away while the stand mixer whips you up a perfect meringue."
From the Aldi Every Ways pan rivalling the famous Always Pan to the Aldi cast iron cookware collection rivalling Le Creuset, we've always been big fans of an Aldi Specialbuy for offering discounted versions to rival the attributes of luxury best-selling products to ensure there is an option for all budgets.
The Classic Aldi Stand Mixer is sadly not available to buy online, so if you want to secure one for your kitchen you'll have to head to your nearest store now.
If you're holding out for a more luxurious model then we recommend you stay up to date with the KitchenAid sales, whilst they're certainly not in the same price range as the Aldi version we can't recommend them enough.
