Aldi’s $15 Cuisinart Knockoff Was So Popular It’s Back on Shelves This Week

Perfect for soups, homemade PSL sauces and quick homemade mayonnaise.

Some of the most useful kitchen gadgets are often the smallest and simplest. Take the countertop scraper, for example—handy for roasting and scooping up freshly cut vegetables. Another is Aldi’s $3 garlic chopper, which fits in the palm of your hand and often appears in the Finds aisle of the store. If you cook often, this is a game-changer.

A slightly larger but equally essential gadget is the stick blender. It’s compact enough to fit in a kitchen drawer, saving valuable countertop and cabinet space. Many home cooks consider it one of their most-used kitchen tools. This blender, which can be submerged directly into a pot to make creamy soups or used to froth ingredients for homemade pumpkin spice lattes, seems like it was made for fall, but it’s useful year-round.

This week, Aldi Finds Aisle — full of essential kitchen gadgets, home decor, and more — features a hand blender that could become one of your most-used tools. And at just $15, it’s a steal.

Aldi’s Ambiano Hand Blender Returns

Earlier this year, Aldi sold a $25 hand blender/whisk/small food processor combo, with one base that powers all three attachments. But if you already have a standalone food processor, you may only need the hand blender. This handy tool can go directly into a pot of pumpkin soup or be used with the whisk attachment to whip up a small batch of homemade whipped cream or mayonnaise.

This is the week to get one of these hand blenders with a whisk attachment for just $15 — just in time for peak season for creamy soups and frothy hot drinks. The Ambiano immersion blender with a whisk attachment is comparable to the $70 Cuisiart version, without the chopper attachment. But the Ambiano outshines the Cuisinart where it counts: motor power. The Ambiano has a 500-watt motor, while the Cuisinart has a 300-watt motor.

The Aldi hand blender comes in black, white or blue. The metal blade and whisk hand blender is easy to replace from the base and is dishwasher safe (although the base is not).

The Ambiano Immersion Blender hits Aldi Finds Aisle on September 4th and is expected to sell out quickly. So plan to visit Aldi as close to September 4th as possible!
