My New Baby, Lady Jane
My plan was to get another bowl for my KitchenAid mixer but while searching for one on Amazon, I was like if I’m going to pay that much for an extra mixing bowl I might as well get a new mixer. It doesn’t necessarily have to be another KitchenAid because I’m not willing to pay for that much, HAH! Besides, the one I have was a gift from Hubby for Mother’s Day a few years ago. I wanted something inexpensive that can get the job done as a 2nd stand mixer. I also wanted something blue. [DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST]
I have been researching this since last year actually. I found one that I like and was just waiting for the right time to spring it on the Hubby π. The right time came and I said, I want the royal blue one!
The reviews are awesome on the AUCMA brand. There are 2 things that really convinced to get this brand. First, it is very light. The Kitchen Aid is so powerful that it’s so heavy. It’s like lugging a dead body every time I had to take it out of the pantry before I got a sideboard. Not that I know how heavy dragging a dead body is of course π (and yes, I exaggerate). I don’t have much counter space in my kitchen therefore most of appliances like the mixer(used to), blender, rice cookers(1 plus the toaster are in a lower cabinet in the kitchen), etc. are stored in the pantry. I was getting really tired of taking out the KitchenAid particularly then putting it back because it’s freaking heavy hence I bought a kitchen sideboard.
AUCMA stand mixer is really light. There are also 4 silicone cups in the bottom so it wouldn’t move all over the place when in use.
2nd important reason I wanted this one is because it fits in my counter under the cupboards. Another reason the Kitchen Aid mixer stayed in the pantry for a while is because the cupboards in my kitchen were built too low. But check out the Aucma mixer. It looks very much at home right there. πππ Oh, the splash cover is definitely a nice thing to have as well.
I haven’t used Lady Jane(yes I named it, my middle name) yet because I only got it this past Friday so I wouldn’t be able to share how it works at this point but a lot of reviews on Amazon indicated good stuff about it. Some details from Amazon;

Look at them both side by side. OG Lady D(KitchenAid) and new baby Lady Jane(AUCMA). I love them both by the way. π₯°π₯°
I am so excited to use Lady Jane and seriously, I love looking at her glossy royal blue color in my counter. πππ (PS: I’m only using the mat in the bottom so I can slide the mixer forward easily when I use it. The suction cups don’t work on the mat so I’ll have to take the mat out underneath when in use.)
