Shoppers say this mixer is as good as KitchenAid’s version — but it’s hundreds cheaper

We’ll always remember the baking moments of 2020. Think sourdough starters and banana bread-making. But in order to perfect those types of recipes, you first need some necessary gadgets in your kitchen.

One of the best tools to help you with almost any recipe for baked goods is a stand mixer. Because of its power and sturdiness, stand mixers are both a helpful hand and a timesaver. Some models have multiple speeds and attachments, which make them an extremely adaptable appliance that can help you make almost anything — from handmade pasta to fluffy brownies.

If you’ve been eyeing one of KitchenAid’s classic stand mixers for a while but don’t want to drop hundreds on it, there’s a more affordable alternative that you can get on Amazon.

With more than 5,000 customer reviews, Aucma’s 6.5-quart stand mixer is a powerful option that shoppers can’t stop raving about. Not only is this model just as good as KitchenAid’s, but it’s only $140 (KitchenAid’s versions can start at more than $200).

With six speeds plus a pulse function and six included accessories (a dough hook, a speed beater, a speed whisk, a splash guard and a 6.5-quart stainless steel bowl), you get KitchenAid-quality for an amazing price. It doesn’t come in as many colors as KitchenAid offers, but the four current available shades are fun and can fit into any kitchen aesthetic.

With a 4.6-star rating, customers find this mixer plenty impressive — many shoppers recommend this mixer as a gift or as a purchase for yourself.

“My Aucma handles all my mixing needs. It is lightweight but not wimpy,” one shopper said. “I waited a few months before reviewing to make sure my love at first sight was lasting. And it fits well right under my cabinets when not in use. I highly recommend this product.”

When it comes to the included attachments, many people found the durability and quality surprising.

“The attachments are not super heavy-duty but more than adequate for daily use,” another customer said. “One of my favorite things is that the whisk attachment gets all of the dry ingredients well-incorporated. I would recommend using the paddle attachment if you are doing anything thicker than liquids. It is also relatively quiet for such a powerful motor.”

So the verdict is in: Instead of holding out any longer for a KitchenAid mixer, this hidden gem is a powerful dupe that will still get the job done.
