 Buy a KA instead! April 27, 2008
P. J. Livingston (Ellicott City, MD USA)
Don't waste your money, this product is NOT worth it! Had I done my research beforehand, I would have bought the Kitchen Aid right off the bat. Instead, I bought the Sunbeam Heritage series Mixmaster from Walmart for $90.00. It looked classic, solid, and similar to its competitor: The Kitchenaid which sold for about $200. Needless to say, the first time I used it, the power fluctuated in and out, the beaters are not thorough and you have to use a rubber scraper to get everything mixed in, and it smelled like burning wire (perhaps a short in the wiring?) Anyway - I returned it from whence it came and invested the money into the Kitchen Aid Artisan. You can't go wrong with a 5 star rated appliance! PLUS, it came with free gadgets, slicer, shield, etc.. ALSO - no tax and free shipping!

I ordered the Sunbeam mixer from Orange onion through the Amazon site. The mixer recieved was a cheaper model than the one I ordered with no price reducrion offered. I returned the item in January and am still waiting for a refund in mid march. Orange onion was not true to their good words. They did not return any voice mail messages and emails were answered with form policy statements. I would not order from Orange onion again.
A real disappointment January 17, 2008

Got one of these as a gift from my favorite sister in law. I always wanted one, but the beaters were nearly impossible to eject and about six months later, the motor froze while I was making meringues. I complained to Sunbeam, and without consulting me, they immediately sent me a brand new one, beaters, bowls and all. When I said I didn't want to send the broken one back, they instructed me to just "cut off the cord" and keep the bowls and beaters as spares. It started to sound as if this was a common occurance. When I set up the replacement, the motor that drove the bowl turntable didn't work. My husband took the motor for the bowl stand from the "old" mixer and put it in the "new" mixer, so now I have a working mixer...but for how long? I don't care if his repair job invaldated the warranty. If this one breaks, I WON'T be getting another Sunbeam.
 Good for the price, but definitely not a Kitchen Aide December 26, 2007

I have wanted a stand mixer for some time now because I have always loved using my mom's Kitchen Aid. So my mom and dad bought me one for Christmas, but opted for a Sunbeam because they are cheaper but still seemed to be a decent quality.
I am really excited to finally have my own stand mixer! I love this one because I bake a lot and it really does make things easier in the kitchen. I have it in the red, which I love, and it really is stylish and pretty for a kitchen appliance.
I really love how the easy the bowl is to take in and out of the mixer, and how the bowl will move over to the side, making it much easier to mix cake batter without having to scrap the sides with a spatula too much.
I do have a few complaints about it though. The mixer head is actually kinda hard to lift. I feel like the button is hard to press in and is in an ackward location on the mixer. I can't have the mixer sitting how I want it, I have to turn it over to the side in order to lift the head up and down without having to wrestle with it.
Also, it said the bowls were dishwasher safe. I usually wash them by hand, but my husband put the big bowl in the dishwasher one day and after the first wash, the screws on the bottom have already rusted. Not big deal really because they are just on the bottom of the bowl, but for it being brand new, I was very disapointed with the rusting after only 2 weeks of us.
I also wasn't really impressed with the spiral dough hooks. They don't do as good a job as I had hoped.
Overall, the quality for price is great! For it being my first stand mixer that I didn't actually have to buy myself, I really love it and hope to use it for a long time. I am impressed with my Sunbeam and I no longer have to use my hand mixer! :)
However, if I ever had to buy another mixer, I would just spend the extra money for a Kitchen Aid because they really are much better quality and have a lot more power behind them. And it seems like the Kitchen Aid has much better attachments that are easier to find.
Cheaper and splatters December 14, 2007

Looks like the classic mixer and it seemed like you get a lot for the price. I had a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer before that was more expensive and had lower motor wattage. The Sunbeam works OK but seems more cheaply built with more plastic in the base and also the control knob. The bowl probably also needs to be designed taller or a splatter shield included with the mixer since it does splatter a lot at the high speeds. My old Kitchen-Aid one didn't seem to do that. In hind-sight I probably should have spent a bit more to get a Kitchen-Aid mixer.
