ALDI's $50 KitchenAid Copycat Is Perfect for Christmas Cookie Season

Published on October 22, 2025

Holiday baking season is officially upon us, and if you’ve been dreaming about adding a stand mixer to your kitchen but can’t quite justify the splurge, ALDI is once again proving it knows precisely what shoppers need.

This week, the fan-favorite grocery chain is stocking its Finds aisle with a kitchen appliance that’s sure to make cookie season a little sweeter: the Ambiano Classic Kitchen Mixer, a $50 stand mixer that’s drawing comparisons to the iconic KitchenAid model, which often retails for well over $300.

With its sleek design, generous 5.3-qt. stainless-steel bowl and attachments for beating, whisking, and kneading, the Ambiano mixer has everything home bakers need to whip up homemade desserts without breaking the bank. ALDI’s version has one feature even top-tier models don’t: a digital display that shows your speed setting and mixing time, so you can skip setting a timer.

How Does It Stack Up?

In a Reddit thread on r/aldi, shoppers shared mixed reviews of the Ambiano Classic Kitchen Mixer. For many, the consensus was that it’s a solid option for simple baking tasks but not a complete KitchenAid replacement. One user wrote, “[It] has less ‘power’ than a KitchenAid. If you’re looking to just make things like cookies, frosting and cake batter, you’re good with the ALDI one. Some bread doughs or tougher applications may give you trouble.”

Others said the budget buy holds up surprisingly well for everyday use. “It’s a great stand mixer if you’re not making anything too stiff like dense cookie dough,” another commenter shared. “I even used it to mix up meatloaf, filling for twice-baked potatoes, on & on. But $50 for a 5-qt. mixer is an excellent price."

Many were pleasantly surprised by the quality. “I just got mine this weekend!” one excited buyer wrote. “I just finished making bread (that I kneaded by hand two weeks ago) and using the stand mixer was a huge game changer."

Don’t Wait Too Long

Like many ALDI Finds, this deal won’t stick around for long. The Ambiano Classic Kitchen Mixer hits store shelves Oct. 22, and it’s only available for a limited time. Once it’s gone, it’s gone, and if history repeats itself, this one will sell out fast.

So if you’ve been waiting for the right time to upgrade your baking setup, or want a fun, functional new gadget to help tackle holiday recipes, this budget-friendly stand mixer might be the season’s best-kept secret. After all, it’s not every day you can get a KitchenAid-style mixer for less than the cost of a Thanksgiving turkey dinner.
