Good while it worked - J. J. van Vuuren - Morristown, TN
Had an old Sunbeam mixer on which the turntable wore out. It lasted about 10 years, so I thought to go with Sunbeam again. The new one worked for almost a month before the gears stripped out on its turntable. Don't know if its covered under warranty or not, but that is not an acceptable life on the turntable. The only work it did was to make butter from 1 quart of cream 5 or 6 days a week.
disappointed - S. Swan -
I have been very, very disappointed with this mixer. I have had the sunbeam mixers previously and they were always great, but this one is so hard to use, and doesn't mix anything on the bottom of the bowl. It doesn't seem to mix anything unless the bowl is half full. I can't believe it cost so much money and doesn't do the minimum mixing. If I could, I would send it back and ask for my money back and go buy one at a store, not this kind. Thinking it would be a wonderful mixer, I threw away the box before ever using this mixer. What a mistake. Either this is a flawed mixer, or this brand is worthless. I usually use my .00 handmixer instead of this one, it is such a pain. I definitely do not recommend this mixer. I am truly sorry I bought it. A very UNHAPPY customer of this mixer.
Spatterqueen - adelia -
This mixer should be called the Sunbeam Spatterqueen. The lovely turquoise Mixmaster I was given in 1965 lasted until 2007, when the motor at last gave up. I still have its wonderful heavy glass bowls, which I use for hand mixing. The stainless steel ones on the new mixer seem flimsy in comparison, and when I try to whip cream, it spatters all over me and my kitchen! After the first try, which left cream all over me, the stove, the counter and canisters, the cupboards, and the floor, I've covered my clothing and hair and "tented" the mixer with a big old floursack towel as well as possible, but it still leaves a lot of mopping up to do. The mixer is all right for solid things like cookie dough, though it's a nuisance to have to push a button to lift the arm and beaters, but it is a far cry from its ancestor and a miserable hooligan at mixing liquids.
