Stand mixers are arguably the Thermomix of the baking world, but they come in handy for crafting pasta and mixing together ingredients too.
And while the gold standard of stand mixers has always been KitchenAid, if you’re looking to save some money on the home appliance front there are excellent alternatives for less than half the price.
The Breville Bakery Chef Hub Mixer usually retails for $529 but for a limited time only on Amazon the product is 25 per cent off, bringing it down to $398.

The device has a five litre stainless steel bowl and a double sided scraper beater for really curving around the edges of the bowl.
The heavy duty 1000w motor has overload protection to avoid overheating and a seven speed electronic control dial to adjust how quickly the mixer is moving.
Bowl illumination around the outside of the device is an added touch to help its owner know when it’s on and working.
A number of extra food prep attachments can be purchased separately, turning the mixer into a versatile kitchen helper.
“Very happy with the mixer. It’s a quality product, with quick delivery and great communication from Amazon staff,” one woman wrote about her purchase.
“I really liked the way it scraped around the bowl. I bought it mainly for baking cakes,” said another.
A third added: “Manages any task easily with a strong 1000w motor.
“I don’t understand how these aren’t nearly as popular as KitchenAid. I honestly think that Breville makes a better machine at a more reasonable price point”.
The mixer can be purchased in two colourways, Sea Salt and Black Truffle, depending on how you want to decorate your kitchen.
