Bring vintage-inspired elegance and everyday versatility to your kitchen with the Ariete Vintage 5.5L Stand Mixer - Blue - AR8805.

With seven adjustable speeds plus a pulse function, you can select the right mixing intensity for different ingredients, from gently combining cake batters to whipping cream or kneading suitable doughs.
Three dedicated attachments are included: a dough hook, mixing beater and wire whisk. Together with 1200W rated power, a practical splash guard and non-slip feet, they make the Ariete Vintage Mixer a versatile companion for everyday home baking.
Planetary Mixing for Thorough Results
The Ariete Vintage Stand Mixer uses a planetary mixing system designed to combine ingredients thoroughly and consistently.
As the selected attachment rotates on its own axis, it also travels around the mixing bowl, helping it reach ingredients throughout the mixture.
This movement is particularly useful for:
- Combining cake mixtures and batters
- Kneading suitable bread and pizza doughs
- Whipping cream and egg whites
- Preparing fillings and desserts
- Mixing sweet and savoury recipes
The planetary action helps reduce the amount of manual mixing required, making everyday baking more convenient.
Generous 5.5-Litre Stainless-Steel Bowl
Whether you're preparing a family cake or making a batch of homemade bread dough, the 5.5-litre stainless-steel bowl provides plenty of room for a variety of recipes.
Its generous capacity is particularly useful for larger mixtures and batch preparation, while the durable stainless-steel construction is designed for regular kitchen use.
Always follow Ariete's recommended maximum ingredient quantities, especially when preparing heavier doughs.
Seven Adjustable Speeds for Greater Control
Different recipes require different mixing intensities. The Ariete AR8805 offers seven adjustable speed settings, allowing you to tailor the mixer's performance to your ingredients.
Use lower speeds when initially combining ingredients or working with suitable doughs, then select higher speeds when whipping or aerating lighter mixtures.
This flexibility helps you achieve the consistency required for different baking tasks.
Pulse Function for Short Bursts of Mixing
Alongside the seven standard speeds, the Ariete Vintage Mixer includes a convenient pulse function.
This provides short bursts of mixing power when you need extra control or want to combine ingredients briefly without continuous operation.
It's a useful addition for recipes that benefit from precise, intermittent mixing.
1200W Rated Power for Everyday Baking
The Ariete Vintage Stand Mixer features a 1200W rated motor, designed to support a wide variety of everyday mixing and baking tasks.
The manufacturer also specifies up to 2400W locked motor power. This is a separate motor-performance figure and should not be confused with the appliance's normal rated operating power of 1200W.
Combined with planetary mixing and the appropriate attachment, the motor provides practical performance for light mixtures and suitable heavier doughs.
Dough Hook for Homemade Bread & Pizza
Take some of the effort out of preparing homemade dough with the included dough hook.
Designed for kneading suitable heavier mixtures, this attachment is useful for preparing:
- Homemade bread dough
- Pizza bases
- Focaccia
- Bread rolls
- Other suitable yeasted doughs
The dough hook helps with the mixing and kneading stages, reducing the amount of hand kneading required for many recipes.
Mixing Beater for Cakes, Batters & Biscuits
The included mixing beater is designed for medium-consistency mixtures, making it a versatile attachment for everyday baking.
Use it for suitable cake mixtures, batters, biscuits, cookies, fillings and other sweet or savoury preparations.
It's a practical choice when ingredients need to be combined smoothly without the more intensive kneading action of the dough hook.
Wire Whisk for Cream, Egg Whites & Meringues
For lighter, aerated mixtures, switch to the included wire whisk.
The whisk is designed to incorporate air into ingredients, making it ideal for:
- Whipped cream
- Egg whites
- Meringues
- Light dessert creams
- Whipped fillings
With the right speed and attachment, you can prepare a wide range of homemade desserts and baking accompaniments.
Splash Guard for Tidier Mixing
The Ariete Vintage Mixer includes a practical splash guard to help keep ingredients contained during preparation.
It's particularly useful when mixing flour, liquids and other ingredients that may otherwise splash or scatter around the worktop.
The guard helps reduce mess, making baking and cleaning up more convenient.
Non-Slip Feet for Stable Operation
The mixer's non-slip feet help it maintain a stable position on the kitchen worktop during normal operation.
This provides additional reassurance when working with different mixing speeds and suitable heavier mixtures.
Always position the mixer on a firm, level surface and follow the manufacturer's operating instructions.
Distinctive Ariete Vintage Blue Design
Part of Ariete's stylish Vintage collection, the AR8805 combines curved retro-inspired styling with an attractive Blue finish.
Its distinctive appearance makes it a striking addition to both traditional and contemporary kitchens.
The design also coordinates with other appliances in the Ariete Vintage range, making it easy to create a matching kitchen look.
Removable Accessories for Easier Cleaning
The stainless-steel bowl and mixing attachments can be removed from the appliance, making routine cleaning and maintenance more straightforward.
Always follow Ariete's cleaning instructions for each component. Dishwasher suitability is not confirmed for every accessory, so check the user manual before using a dishwasher.
