Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro JMP2000BK

Best birthday present this year – I make sponge cakes and meringues quite regularly and was highly impressed by the speed of the super aerator whisk. A real time saver. Strong powerful motor. The turbo function is a welcome addition. The storage case is another reason for my 5 star review. No more searching through drawers for accessories. Well designed. Recommend highly. Show details

1980 vs. 2021 - Just OK – The 2021 version was sent to me free of charge by Sunbeam with a limited time to use and review. I was expecting to be dazzled by 40 years of innovation compared to my AUSTRALIAN MADE Sunbeam from 1980. But sadly I am underwhelmed by this ugly and bulky 2021 version. It is cheap, $60AUD RRP but do not expect much finesse. Sure it has 230 more… Read more

watts, goes faster and has 4 more speeds, but it is still noisy and 120g heavier. I reckon it has 7 speeds as a marketing ploy; I only need 3-4 speeds. The Turbo button is handy for a quick burst of speed.

Cord strap is useless as it is near impossible to do up.

Beater insertion. My 1980 model I could insert the main beaters any way and they’d lock in first time every time, but not so with the 2021 model. Sunbeam dispensed with the cross X slot so you need to align the slot before insertion of standard beaters.

Beaters. Dough hooks are useless. Get the bench mixer out instead. Whisk beater is fast at making stiff egg whites. Standard beaters are OK but they are not quite straight so there is a bit of wobble.

Conclusion. Some reviews give it 5 star raves, but what are they comparing to? I am fond of my 1980 mixer but I have no such feelings for this “just OK” 2021 model which I have happily given away. Perhaps I expect too much from 40 years development.

Powered through every challenge I threw at it – Baking has always been something I loved doing. Up until I received the Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro JMP2000BK, I baked about once a month because I did everything the old school way. Making bread? Knead by hand. Making a cake? Mix with a whisk. I owned a hand mixer but it just didn't work as well as I hoped and I only ever resorted to using… Read more

it when I made pavlovas. The Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro has changed that. In the last month, I have baked about once a week with what used to take hours to complete now possible in a much shorter timeframe.

The Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro is an amazing little unit. I was so impressed with the thought and consideration Sunbeam put into the design of the Hand Mixer Pro. The storage case was a game changer for me. The hand mixer sits securely on top of a plastic storage case where you can store the super aerator whisk, beaters and dough hooks, making using and storing the Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro a joy.

The Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro also comes with a short and simple User Guide which outlines safety precautions, features, tips, speed guide, care and cleaning and recipes. I like to check out the recipes that come with appliances because I figure companies have chosen to showcase recipes they've trialled while developing the appliance. I initially planned to try some of the recipes in the User Guide but sadly found errors. The meringue kisses recipe on page 7 suggests using chantilly cream, butter cream or chocolate ganache recipes from page 12 to sandwich the kisses, however my User Guide recipes end on page 9, which was disappointing. This was also the case for the butter cake recipe on page 6. I don't know whether it was just my copy of the User Guide, but I suggest if you intend to try one of the recipes, read ahead to make sure the instructions are complete.

To trial the Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro I made chantilly cream, a lemon sponge pudding, choc chip banana bread, a German apple cake and cinnamon scrolls (see photos). Every single challenge I threw at the Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro it powered through. And this really is where it shines - the speed settings. It is a pocket rocket. I found it so powerful that I rarely took it beyond setting 4. I do see that the higher settings would be perfect for making pavlovas, but settings 1-4 were more than sufficient for the tasks being completed. I particularly liked using the turbo button for extra zips of speed and I appreciated being able to control the speed when I needed it the most.

The super aerator whisk works quickly and effortlessly. The dough hooks however, were a little more tricky for me to master. As I said earlier, I am used to kneading by hand so it took some time to figure out how to use the dough hook attachments properly. However, I can confirm that the cinnamon scrolls made with the Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro were fluffier and more professional than any I'd made by hand previously. So much so, my family no longer wants me to make them the way I used to.

The Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro JMP2000BK is amazing to use. The recipes I trialled were ones that are tried and true in my household, and I saw a vast improvement after using the Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro. That alone justifies the 5 star review, but I also want to say thank you to Sunbeam for their design considerations. How people use and store their appliances, ensuring the power cord is a decent length and the built in cord tie to secure the cord for storage are tiny details, but it really made me feel someone had considered my needs as a consumer. I cannot recommend the Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer Pro JMP2000BK enough.

Beats to a rhythm, creating parties in the mouth – Thank you to Sunbeam and Product Review for the Sunbeam JMP2000BK, it has placed a lot of delicious memories in reviewing the product under the Ambassadors program. The overall design is good, I love the enclosed mixing tub, which i prefer to store the attachments in as its a nice neat package, where you easily find the beating attachments… Read more

easily. With this product, myself, my father and a friend, I did get to use and try out as I wanted not just my own input but my father who is a qualified baker with over 40yrs experience and my friend who has lengthy creativity in the kitchen and myself because I do enjoy making that special treat and cooking meals and have quite a few recipes of my own.

I do highly recommend it for anyone who needs a beater, it is a very good product, I do feel that it would have been nice to gone cordless design, possibly with a section where you could replace a battery if need be. So it was a opportunity, sunbeam could have applied in the design, however I do see why some reasons why it would be preferred corded. My Father said it was brilliant, he actually used it first, he enjoyed using it so much he used it again to make another batch of cakes, first cake was for a friends birthday. Our friend said it was great and they made a Pavlova with it, myself I made a banana cake, some puddings and Marzipan cakes and yummmm I must say. Pictures are below of some food creations, compared to my father who is literally so good as making cake products I must say his creations well he is in his late 80s and wow his creations are great. Anyway I am here to review the beater so back too it!

I found myself the speeds were great, it has 7 speed settings and a turbo I am not used to turbo and i did try it but not used to using it, I did find the lowest speed, could have gone a bit slower, I had no problems with the unit at all, my dad found it perfect, he had no problems at all at using it, he is way more experienced being a qualified baker, so I do think my valuation is trivial to some degree, I would have preferred lower speed setting going just a fraction slower, the fastest speed setting was fantastic and wow does it beat up egg whites with ease. The puddings were done with ease, that's where I thought the lower setting could have been a little lower to ease into the beating, The pavlova was done very well and we all enjoyed using the beater and loved the results. I have some pictures to show you, our friend had no probs making a pav and enjoyed a slice of that pav - well the crust mainly all the sugar sweetness

Making icing was relatively simple with this device and we all give it thumbs up - PS the only reason why I gave 4 out of 5 stars is that I did feel it would have been nice if it was cordless, because it allows then a little bit more freedom to where you use the Sunbeam JMP2000BK, I took no points off for my perception for slower speed.

The build quality is great, the mixing bowl/storage container I just used for storing the attachments, so I did not use it as a mixing bowl, the different beaters 3 of them were good, they did the job and easy to clean which is great and wow so happy that you can place them inside the container because they take room up in drawers and well sometimes you do not find them when you need them, so having this container you wont ever struggle finding them. The cord is fair length and the unit is reasonably light. I had a sponge pudding tonight and wow still happy with the taste now!

Why I do recommend the Sunbeam JMP2000BK, I am not saying this just because of being selected to review it, We found no problems with it, my father being the expert he did state it was great, now he does have a beater with mixing bowl which is years old now, but its a whole machine, not basic a proper bakers machine beater (electric stand mixer I think they are called) not a cheap one neither, my father decided instead of using this and used the Sunbeam JMP2000BK more, he enjoyed it, I think he did still use the mixing beater for some other content which required to leave the machine running a bit but they are a different purpose built device for that reason. I found it simple, my only whims would be the cordless part so its trivial and our friend they were happy I think they are considering getting one for themselves, no problems at all and was used a fair amount.

Below is some pictures of the creations, did not do a video but did take some pictures, of the creations we made with this beater, all turned out delicious

Simple, Works well and stores neatly – My mixing needs are fairly minimal, a few cakes, mashed potatoes, whisking eggs and milk and the Sunbeam does all of this fantastically well. No idea how the dough hooks performed as I wouldn't even know what could be done with them. The whisk attachment is excellent and the beaters do what they are supposed to do.. The huge range of speeds is… Read more

great and the turbo mode lets me cut down on mixing time (also great to spin off excess before finishing).

The absolute best thing about this mixer though is how cleverly the storage is organised. All the bits fit neatly into the plastic container and the cord folds up and it all slots away perfectly compact and neatly in my draw. Everything is in one place, no hunting through the 'miscellaneous' draw to find that second mixer which is like trying to match the odd sock - always mysteriously missing. The mixer 'snaps' into place acting like a lid and a handle, so you can lift and move it all confidently. It is probably my favourite thing about the Sunbeam

The other thing I really liked about this unit was how easy it was to clean. My last mixer had little hidey holes in the beaters at the joins where clumps could harden and make it hard to clean. The design on the beaters is nice and easy to clean,

The cord has a little plastic thing that helps keep it wrapped up, which is very appealing as it stops it from getting tangled and caught in the attachments. However, snapping the thing into the little slots is a bit tricky and can be frustrating, although once it is in, it holds the cord securely and neatly.

The entire unit feels sturdy and performs well, isn't too noisy and the vibrations are not terrible, even at turbo.

Very pleased with it and am certain it will not become one of those appliances that turn out to be too much trouble to deal with and find their way to the shelf nobody can reach or the back of a cupboard. Going to get a lot of use out of this!
