Sunbeam Mixmaster HeatSoft JM7000

I bought this from JB HiFi. The minute I plugged it in it sounded like a hair dryer and very noisy. Not surprisingly, because that is basically what it is - a hand held hair dryer with a mechanism to make the beaters spin. Not just loud, but a lot of unsettling vibration when using it to mix. After the first use I decided I couldn't go on with this and went out and bought a real hand held mixer - A KitchenAid product. Beautiful and made for purpose.

Bought this after reading the reviews. I always go to make something and realise it needs room temperature butter so thought this would would solve that problem!
Pros:
Does what it says - softens butter
Powerful: range of power settings, think it goes up to 10 and has a boost button
Good range of attachments although only used beaters so far ( also includes whisk and dough beaters)
Includes storage box
Cons:
Quite heavy
Not really a con more a watch out - it uses a fan to soften the butter so don't use the setting when mixing flour/ icing sugar as it goes everywhere ( I made this mistake)
Overall happy with my purchase
It's only been used a handful of times though so can't comment on long term use

I bought this hand mixer after reading reviews...... In the first instance I was pretty happy the beaters were tricky to connect at times but overall power was good and the heating addition a useful novelty. Mainly used for beating cream, a separate single whisk attachment was given for this not seen other brands with whisks as well as standard beaters. Not sure why only one and not two whisk attachments but it did the job. I also use it for creaming butter and sugar together for cakes this is where the heating was useful.The storage box was r

I bought the Sunbeam JM7000 from DJ'S Adelaide in April 2020 and was pleased with the natty packaging which allowed me to store everything in a plastic box. Was also pleased with the heat button that made creaming butter & sugar faster. I used it ONCE and then stopped. Assume the motor has blown. David Jones has been pathetic & so slow to even acknowledge emails & phone calls.

Now this is a tool that really offers a great option to a stand mixer. It powers through heavy ingredients, and with the softening feature it makes easy work of butter & cream cheese. It seems to create a lighter overall result even than standing ingredients at room temp. For egg whites the speed is awesome, yet won't hammer the mix or overwork. Cleaning poses no problems and the storage of accessories in one unit eliminates foraging thru' drawers. This was an impulse buy when wanting a "portable" item for some catering jobs, but now it's used regularly. Love it & strongly recommend it as a great buy for price, quality and convenience.

This is a game changing mixer. I always forget to leave the butter out so this makes my life so much easier. The first time I used it, I wasn't sure if it was working in the first 5 seconds but then the texture of the butter completely changes soon afterwards. Great innovation and I'll be baking more often....maybe that's a bad thing!

Such a great tool in the kitchen. Not too heavy, super powerful and great results. The built in storage box is very neat. We found that sometimes it was a little difficult to get the beaters back in the holes. The heat function made beating butter very easy.

I am forever deciding to bake something at the last minute (or after work), and the HeatSoft Function is a godsend. No one ever has the time to let butter come to room temperature, and this mixer gets you there in no time. The mixer itself is light, but powerful and I had no problems thoroughly mixing the chocolate chips into my cookie dough. The magnetic nozzle makes cleaning up really easy - because no mixing job is ever clean! The storage case is also great if you're short on space as it collects the beaters and power cord nicely.

I’ve just cooked the fluffiest batch of cupcakes using the new Sunbeam Heatsoft Hand mixer. The heat soft softens the butter in no time with the press of a button. I especially like the handy container that stores upright with all the accessories in one place. The magnetic nozzle is easy to remove and clean. The seven speed setting enables powerful mixing, by far the most powerful hand held mixer that I have used previously. My only comment is that the blades were a little tricky to click in position, however once I got the hang of the click and twist action I was on my way

I have the sunbeam hand mixer with heat soft technology and is a brilliant little tool for bakers. I was skeptical about the heat soft tech but it is very effective in enabling you to cream butter straight from the fridge! No more planning ahead required. Also I really like how it packs away, with attachments, for storage in the nifty storage box. Very easy to clean too!
