If the return of Celebrity Bake off has got you tempted to whip up your own showstopper, look no further than this epic KitchenAid dupe from Aldi.
With its cool retro design and pastel colours, the KitchenAid mixer has become a Great British Bake Off icon, but it’s safe to say it doesn’t come cheap, retailing at £399 for the smallest version alone.
That’s why, when we heard Aldi’s £49.99 dupe is back in stock and available to pre-order, we just had to let all you budding bakers know.
Hundreds of shoppers have already bagged the SpecialBuy since it returned to Aldi’s virtual shelves last night. This time the supermarket has even added a dreamy pistachio coloured mixer to the Ambiano range which looks just like KitchenAid’s £549 version.
The £49.99 mixer is the perfect alternative for bakers on a budget, and just like its more expensive equivalent, Aldi’s Ambino can tackle heavy-duty baking tasks including whipping, whisking, kneading and mixing.
The website product description says the stand mixer has an 800W motor and comes equipped with an interchangeable flat-beater with a silicone lip, dough hook for making bread and wire whisk for whipping air into egg whites and a splash guard with a filling hole.
The rotary switch comes with eight different speed levels and a pulse function giving you better control.
You’ll also get a 5-litre bowl which is included when you buy the mixer - perfect for making tasty cakes for the whole family. And, you’ll even receive a three-year warranty to keep you covered.
You don’t just have to take our word for it either as the mixer has received over 170 five-star reviews from baking fanatics, calling it ‘fantastic’ and an ‘absolute bargain’.
One happy customer said: “I've been waiting for this to come back online and ordered immediately. It's a very good size and it is very easy to use. Good quality and decent price.”
A second agreed and said: “I've tried many brands, but this is the far best and good value for money.”
With a third commenting: “Have been looking at Stand Mixers for a while but put it off because they are SO expensive....came across this by chance and am over the moon with it. Does exactly what it should do and looks pretty too! Bargain price too!”
‘Excellent kitchen gadget,’a fourth raved. “I bake occasionally, and this is just perfect. Makes baking so much easier. From soft cakes to Italian meringue, it comes out wonderfully. Must have!”
The stylish mixer also comes in a modern grey and classic pearl colour which fit in well with any kitchen interior - so what are you waiting for?
