Very Disappointing
I bought this product online and was in high hopes of a quality mixer. I am trying to replace a Sunbeam that has been in the family for over 60 years. I was horribly disappointed! Everything except the beaters and bowls is plastic. I attempted to knead bread and the mixer bounced all over the cabinet. I wound up doing most of the work by hand. I cook a great deal and fear this light weight will not hold up for a year. It is a sorry example of the quality Sunbeam used to offer and I should have had my first clue when the box stated the country of origin!

The beaters do not cover the bottom surface well and it was as much work using a spatula to stir as it was to just work by hand. The dough crept up the beaters and embedded in the slots the beaters go into and was a clean up mess!

I bought my daughter a Heritage edition last year and love her product but this one is returning to the store Jan. 2nd as soon as the post office opens.

Mixer Master
Excellent product, my mom used to have one like this. Comes with many features and accessories. When using it for mixing dough the mixing hooks are not the best around. Other then this, the product works perfectly.

Satisfactory
I've used my Mixmaster Model 2379 several times since purchasing it a month ago. It mixed dough for chocolate chip cookies to the very end. I felt I may have to stop the mixer and add the final cups of flour by hand. The mixer handled the mixing without bogging down.

Sunbeam Mixmaster Stand Mixer, Chrome
I was disappointed in this mixer after having used Sunbeam mixers throughout my 45 year marriage. I use a mixer frequently and want one that has a detached head. Hand mixers are not powerful enough for my needs.
This mixer was plastic. The bowls required twisting into holding slots. The beaters were similar to hand mixer beaters--not heavy duty. I returned the mixer, had my old one repaired, and bought a 1980 model on e-bay to keep as a spare.

Don't buy this
I bought this mixer about 1 years ago. It LOOKS reliable , heavy, with a lot of steel built into it. It is everything but reliable. Built to last till the end of the warranty period, not a day longer. All that steel is to make sure no-one will be able to take it apart to fix it, or to see that the internal power transmission parts are made from cheap plastic.
