Best Sunbeam Stand Mixers

Gotten me a bit inspired – I've always wanted a fancy pants stand mixer, but seeing as I don't really do a huuuge amount of baking had trouble justifying the expense. Well now… Read more

I'm doing a whole lot more, have even managed to produce some goodies that don't elicit eye-rolls from my teenagers. High accolades indeed.

So am making a heap more. Usual stuff like brownies and cupcakes. Soooo much easier making gingerbread with this, it used to kill my wrists and my hand mixer was of no use. Meringue is still something I'm trying to master, more research needed. Purely operator inexperience there though.

Christmas gingerbread house is amazing. We could all end up the size of actual houses if I keep going!!

It's quieter than I thought it would be, super easy to attach/detach the mixxy thingos (again, not a huge amount of baking in my history).

I love the handsfree-ness of it. Chuck the stuff in and let her do her magic. Cleans up like a dream.

I did struggle a bit using the guard thing that goes over the top to stop me spraying aerosolised flour all over my kitchen haha

Just loses a star because the melty softening feature didn't really work that well for me. I just gave up and bunged the butter in the microwave. Even the chocolate, went back to my old method of blasting it in 10 second bursts in the microwave.

Unfortunately the paddle, whisk attachment etc do not reach the bottom or sides. So when mixing there is always unmixed stuff at the bottom. I have… Read more

to stop alot, lift the attachment, remove the bowl and use a spatula to mix the sides and bottom in. Not what I expected for the price I paid. Very disappointing. It's also VERY loud. Other than that it does it's job

Disappointing – Oh how the mighty have fallen. I just purchased this mixmaster after my previous excellent, reliable, sturdy Sunbeam mixmaster packed it in after 10… Read more

years. What has happened to Sunbeam? How can this cheap, tinny product have made it through their quality control? I tried to mix a basic cake batter which has been made with my old mixmaster countless times - the new machine was shaking and struggling to cope and then a burnt smell escaped - what an absolute failure of a mixer. It will be returned.

I'm a long time Sunbeam mixer fan but this one is making me reconsider. You have to stop the machine to scrape the sides of the bowl to aid the… Read more

mixing process, notably with creaming butter / sugar. You also have to stop the machine to add extra ingredients, making it especially difficult and tricky if you want to slowly add an ingredient. So a poor design, particularly for using a spatula on the sides while the machine is running (dangerously impossible), or for adding ingredients during the mixing process (very awkward & difficult). The machine is robust, and presents well and is easy to clean. But I miss my old cafe series mixer and this new style is a backwards step. The baked goods are just as good as previous, but it's a more difficult cooking process.
