Aldi's Budget-Friendly Answer to Premium Ice Cream Makers
Shoppers across the UK are set for a summer kitchen revolution as Aldi prepares to launch a highly anticipated Ambiano Ice Cream and Frozen Treat Maker for just £179. This limited edition appliance forms part of the supermarket's famous Special Buys range during its annual Black Wednesday sale, with experts predicting it will vanish from shelves within minutes.
An Aldi Australia spokesperson confirmed the device represents the perfect find 'as Aussies get ready for a summer of entertaining', while urgently reminding customers that stock is strictly limited. The announcement has generated significant buzz among bargain hunters who've noticed its striking resemblance to the wildly popular Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker, which typically retails for £349.
Social Media Frenzy and Shopper Predictions
When the product was announced on Facebook via the Oh So Busy Mum account, hundreds of excited replies quickly followed. However, many experienced Aldi shoppers expressed scepticism about actually securing one, with comments ranging from 'Aldi Special Buys are always hard to get' to predictions that 'this will be gone in 10 minutes'. Some even joked about potential 'fighting in the aisles' when the product finally launches.
The Ambiano Ice Cream Maker boasts an impressive array of features that explain the excitement. It includes a digital touch control panel with ten preset functions covering everything from classic ice cream to frozen yoghurt, gelato, slushies, and milkshakes. The device also features a mix-in function for customising flavours, a self-cleaning capability, and comes complete with a mixing bowl and three storage containers.
More Ninja-Inspired Bargains in the Sale
The ice cream maker isn't the only premium appliance receiving the Aldi budget treatment. The supermarket is also launching an Ambiano Slushie Maker 2L for £199, which keen-eyed shoppers have identified as a direct competitor to the Ninja SLUSHi Professional Frozen Drink Maker costing £499. Aldi's version offers five preset functions including slushie, frappe, milkshake, cocktail and wine modes, plus digital touch controls and insulation to maintain temperature.
While there are no reviews yet for these brand new Aldi appliances, some social media users have questioned whether the budget versions can match the performance of the Ninja originals. One shopper strongly advised others to 'save up and get the Ninja one – so worth it', referencing its impressive 4.4-star rating.
The Black Wednesday sale extends beyond kitchen gadgets, featuring other notable deals including a 65" 4K Ultra UHD WebOS TV for £549, an Inflatable Movie Screen for £79.99, and two types of robotic vacuums: the Ecovacs Deebot Neo 3.0 with Omni Station for £599 and the Ecovacs Winbot Neo Mini Robotic Window Cleaner for £299. Golf enthusiasts haven't been forgotten either, with an EW Electric Golf Trolley available for £499.
