The £30 Aldi stand mixer

[saraclara]

It's coming back into the stores on Thursday.
Has anyone got one? Is it any good? I don't do a lot of baking, but there've been several occasions where I've wished I had a proper mixer. I neither have the budget or the commitment to spend vast amounts on one with great reviews, though.
On the other hand I don't want to chuck £30 down the drain if it's rubbish.

Nooo 😭

Im not really that bothered about the wattage tbh, may not be the most powerful thing in the world but I’m very much just a hobby baker so it doesn’t make much odds to me! For £30, I figure I can’t go very wrong

Got one! (Because I know you all care 🤣)

Had to do an hour's return journey, but the bigger store I went to still had six of them, so I even got to choose my colour!

And yep, I'm not too worried about the low power drawbacks etc. It's not going to get a whole lot of use or have to do any doughy heavy lifting. Just a 'nice to have' on the occasions when I need to do batches of shortbread/cookies etc.

I have a K mix hand mixer it is great had it for 10 years would love a stand mixer but no room.

Yay! What colour did you go for?
I went back again today to add to my collection of tins, trays and cake storage 😂

I got the yellow one. I almost went for the pink, because my little granddaughter is a big fan of pink, and she likes baking with me. But I think that I can convince her that custard yellow is fun!

Oh, and I got the pink loaf cake container, as it's so difficult to find anything to store a loaf cake in

If you cant get one, i recommend the Dunelm one . Its fab!

Oh my, this is what I’d do! I’d be influenced to buy it-it’s so pretty-then it never come out of the cupboard. I bought a mixer jug thing last year and have hauled it out once to make soup. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Bought this one from Aldi about 4 or 5 years ago. Daughter loves baking and uses it regularly. Cost about £35 I think

I bought one once but do lots of baking, it looked lovely but did not mix properly at all. My kitchen aid is so much better. I was gutted as it looked great but took to charity shop.

Yep. I'm not expecting much of it really. I won't be using it a lot, so if after a year, it's either not good enough, or I simply don't use it, I'll just stick it on a local selling site. But because I don't bake all that much, I can't justify spending more, let alone Kitchen Aid money.
