This week, we stumbled upon the perfect introduction bread maker for someone just entering the wild world of baking. Of course we found it at Aldi , and the price point is what initially caught our attention. Conveniently priced at just $49.99, the Ambiano Bread Maker is your one-stop-shop for delicious bread creations, and it probably won’t last on Aldi’s shelves for very long.

This magic bread machine features 19 baking programs and can handle up to three different bread sizes: 1-pound, 1.5-pound and 2-pound. It sports a portable design that makes it fit into most kitchen scenarios comfortably, an LCD display to help users track the progress of their loaves and an adjustable crust control with three levels. The appliance comes complete with all of the accessories needed to create beautifully fluffy loaves at home as well as a recipe book to get you started.

Those interested in taking the plunge into bread making should compare this Aldi offering to similar appliances available online. Williams Sonoma , for example, is currently selling a similarly designed bread maker by Cuisinart that retails for $129.95, with less baking programs to choose from. AmazonBasics even has one that’s a little more comparable in price to Aldi’s, however, still $20 more when not on sale and five less baking programs available.
