Amazon.com Product Description
Equipped with a powerful 300-watt motor, this convenient stand mixer works well for everything from high-volume holiday cooking and baking to everyday tasks in the kitchen. The appliance offers 12 different speed settings for quickly and precisely mixing ingredients, while its Soft Start mixing function helps minimize ingredient splatter and flour puff by gently accelerating to the selected speed after start-up. It also provides a burst-of-power function, which delivers extra power as needed to ensure even blending. The stand mixer comes with one stainless-steel mixing bowl. Accessories include stainless-steel beaters for creaming butter and sugar or mixing heavy cake mixes, stainless-steel dough hooks that take the hard work out of kneading dough and other hard mixtures, and whisks that work great for beating air into mixtures like egg whites, yolks, or cream. Other highlights include a turntable base that allows the bowl to turn while mixing, a power/speed indicator light, a soft-grip molded handle for a secure grip, an eject button that releases the attachments, and a tilt-back locking head for convenient removal of the mixing bowl and attachments. After unplugging the unit and removing the beaters, the mixer head can be wiped down with a damp cloth and removed for compact storage and the accessories can be cleaned in the dishwasher. The stand mixer measures approximately 13-2/3 by 12 by 15 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

every design was wrong
I bought this mixer online, and i couldn't have been more disappointed. It looks good in the picture, but everything about it is just a little bit wrong. This mixer drives me crazy! I wish i had bought any mixer but this.

First of all, it looks like a nice metal mixer with a metal bowl. Well, the bowl is metal, but the rest of it is just painted silver! It's just made of cheap plastic.

Second of all, the dial on the right with all the speeds on it: from the look of it, the mixer has several speeds, one for each number. However when you try to turn the knob, what you find is that it has three speeds- low, medium, and high. The numbers are there for decoration!

Then we come to the two metal mixing blades. One of them has an annoying plastic piece on the end that is always getting food stuck in it. I've had plenty of mixers that are designed well so that they don't have to have this hard-to-clean part. It gets food stuck on both the inside and the outside of the little plastic part on the end.

The bowl has two problems. (Well, there is a large and a small bowl, but they have the same problems.) The top edge of the bowl curls around the top to make a little lip. This is fine, but the lip is not actually closed! It's ALMOST closed. That means when food gets in there, it's almost impossible to clean out. Also, i got metal bowls because i thought i could use them for other things too- such as handy popcorn bowls. But the bottom of the bowls lock on to the mixer with pokey metal bits, so holding those metal bowls in your lap can be uncomfortable and snag your clothes!

This mixer does not have a lot of power for mixing heavy dough, and you can't turn it to a speed and walk away (you have to hold the bowl or the mix will pack up in the mixer blades) but I wouldn't expect those things from a mixer this price. So that part is fine.

However, those other things are all just design decisions. There are plenty of other mixers in this price range that don't do all those terrible things. Buy any mixer but this, really! This one is just a waste of money.

Not So Great
I wanted a Kitchen Aid and got this instead. I wish I had saved my money and got the Kitchen Aid. It isn't strong enough to mix all the ingredients of anything I've tried to mix. I constantly have to stop the mixer and hand mix because the ingredients on the edge of the bowl doesn't get mixed in with the batter. This is horrible with homemade mashed potatoes. I have to hand do those with my potato masher.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
I recieved this as a gift for christmas last year and have had nothing but problems! After only a handful of uses the prongs on the bowls that attatch to the mixer came off of each bowl. After Sunbeam sent me a new set of bowls, the mixer itself stopped working. It just gradually slowed mixing until it stopped altogether. Sunbeam sent me a new mixer and I am not sure how long this one will last but now I have a broken mixer and two sets of bowls that are useless taking up space! I feel bad because my husband purchased it and he thought he got the deal of a century because I had wanted a mixer for years!!
Please spend the extra money and get a good quality mixer!
