Aldi is bringing back its hugely popular smart mixer and cooker this weekend. The all-in-one food processor, scale and cooking machine allows your food prep to be contained and simple.

Thermo mixers have become a staple in many kitchens but some of the top machines can set you back thousands of dollars. However, Aldi's version, made by Sterling, is just $249.

“The popular Thermo Cooker is coming back to Aldi middle aisle this Saturday," a spokesperson for the store tells Yahoo Lifestyle.

"We know that Aussies love this must-have kitchen appliance as it does all the hard work in the kitchen! It will take the weight off your shoulders featuring handy scales and can mix, knead, steam, make delicious smoothies and crush ice.

"This year’s Thermo Cooker is at a great low price of $249 - $50 less than last year! With so many things you can make in a Thermo Cooker, there's also cookbook included from kitchen sensation Alyse Alexandra as a special gift with each purchase," they added.

Many shoppers have shared their excitement fo the product given it can do so much, with some reaching out on social media to see what people who had the Thermo Cooker thought.

"I have one and can’t fault it," one user replied. "It’s not a thermomix, but it does the job.

"There are a few tricks like you need to use it for 5 seconds longer on chopping, but really for the price, it’s good. Also great if you want to see if you would use it before spending the money on a proper one," she added.

"I bought an Aldi thermo mix about two years ago now. I use it every single day, we are a family of six. I absolutely love it and couldn’t fault it for the price, as the actual Thermo was never in our budget," another added on the Markdowns Addicts Australia Group.

"The only thing is I am very sure the Aldi one doesn’t heat up as quickly as the thermo. I have to adjust cooking times knowing that it takes longer to cook. But seriously amazing other than that!"

The appliance is packed with features including 10 auto programs to sauté, emulsify, stir, purée, mill, mix, knead, steam, smoothie and even crush ice.

So whether you are hosting a cocktail party, whipping up a family meal or trying to impress the in-laws, this machine will help with all of that.
