Whip up cookies, cakes, breads, and more.

Food & Wine / Reese Herrington

A stand mixer is one absolute essential every baker has to have in their kitchen. They whip up everything like cookies, cakes, breads, and more far better (and faster) than we could ever do it by hand. The only downside? They’re expensive.

But, shoppers swear that this less-expensive Aucma Stand Mixer is “just as powerful” as a KitchenAid. It’s just $160, which is around half the price of the popular counterpart. Shop it on Amazon now in heaps of colors, just in time to kickstart spring baking.

The Aucma Stand Mixer has a 6.5-quart capacity and a 660-watt motor that can easily do everything from creaming butter to kneading sticky bread dough. It has six speeds to select from on the control dial that has a nifty blue LED light to show you the power is on.

This mixer is fitted with a 6.5-quart bowl, which is big enough to hold a wide variety of recipes. It has a tilt-head design, with a locking lever to lift up the mixer head, that way you can easily add ingredients or remove the bowl. It comes with three attachments to help you make any recipe.  The whisk is ideal for whipping cream or whipping eggs. The dough hook is great for kneading bread or pizza dough. The paddle attachment is also key, and most often used for blending batters for cookies, frostings, and more.

A bonus on this stand mixer is the added splash guard, which keeps the batter in the bowl where it belongs. Plus, there’s anti-slip feet on the bottom of the base to ensure it stays securely on the counter while mixing. The mixer measures 15.2 by 9.4 by 12.5 inches, making it more compact than some, but be sure to have a space in your cupboard to store it. Many colors including blue and silver are on sale, but grab it in red for the highest discount.

This stand mixer has raked in over 12,100 perfect ratings from shoppers who praise it for everything like its power, its price, and its performance. “Love this mixer more than my KitchenAid,” writes one reviewer, who adds that it’s “easier to clean, lighter to move, [and] the bowl cover is much more effective,” too. “Motor is powerful and doesn’t lag at all, even with the stiffest dough that I throw at it,” says a second shopper who makes everything from whipped cream to bread dough in it. “KitchenAid has met its match with this less expensive workhorse,” they also noted, adding that it doesn’t “break-the-bank.”

Head on over to Amazon and grab this Aucma stand mixer so you can start whipping up everything from batter for chocolate chip cookies to bread dough for a fresh sourdough loaf. Shop it now for $160.
