ALDI Ambiano Stand Mixer with Rotating Bowl (Jun 2014-2015, Jul 2016-2018)

Dont buy it – Very badly made. Its heavy and noisy. Didnt mix ingredients very well. The service for repairs from aldi was non existant and staff were rude.Cannot buy parts. Stay away from this product

Poor quality, no power – I had mine for a couple of years and used it on average once per month. With just 1 kilo of dough it overheated, making the cover to melt and crack. I ended up with pieces of plastic in the dough, all wasted and the mixer is ready for the rubbish bin

My similar mixer – I can't even find my exact Ambiano mixer product name or picture but I have recently bought a white one. I used it for the first time yesterday and couldn't work out why the egg and sugar didn't mix ... soon found out the the flat bottom of the bowl didn't "flow" the ingredients together and there were streaks of unmixed egg ... puzzling at first. When washing the basin I felt the bottom of the bowl had a very small depression in its moulding right at the edge to the upright sides [hard to describe but I'm sure any cook would get the idea ....]. How does anyone in product design think that ingredients sitting in a lower level at the outside of a bowl would succeed in schooling those ingredients into the mix being blended? I'm over 70 and have been using my mother's and grandmother's mixers since I was 9 years old ... NEVER have seen a mixing bowl design like this. I don't want to have to be pulling the beaters off to use as a handheld ... the whole reason of buying the machine was to avoid that.

This is the 2nd faulty product I've bought from Aldi in the last few months: the slow cooker I bought developed a crack in the glass lid the first time I used it.

Cheaper prices also need to offer reliable quality, especially when it is any product associated with food.

Please don't sell lousy electrical products. Bad for consumers, bad for environment – I've bought the 5 speed mixer with stand because the price is really attractive. $39.90. However, my excitement turned to disappointment. Firstly, the stand is made of really cheap plastic. It is a hollow stand. The only reason it is able to support the mixer is it has suction caps at the bottom to stick to the table, else it would topple. I have to say the designer has used his brain. 5 speed of unbelievable inconsistent speed. The first speed spins so fast that my mixture flung everywhere. I don't dare to try the 5th speed. I have to scrape the sides as the cream beater only beat the centre of the big stainless bowl. Hard to dislodge the beater. My 15 years old handheld mixer is much better than this.

I have bought much better electrical appliances in Aldi years ago. Their mezzo food processor and sewing machine I bought years ago are very good quality. Their recent products seems to be getting a lot worse that we always have to return.

I hope Aldi evaluate their products more. Yes, I love a cheap bargain but if the quality is bad that we have to throw away after a few uses, I think it's bad for the environment and lots of wastage.

I would prefer to save up and buy a quality product. It is also a bad perception to our children who thinks that it's ok to keep throwing things out without realizing that the quality is terrible.
