I love this product! I got it right before Xmas. It was just in time for a marathon baking. I made tons of cookies, breads. Candies. It held up through it all. I ran it the anything I could think of. The only fault I have is that the bowl doesn't lock. If making a double batch of bread dough it will jump. Other then that I love it. I did receive this as a sample to test and that's what I did. I recommend it to all home cooks
I would recommend this to a friend!

As we all know, the holidays negates much baking, more than any other time of the year. In time for all the baking I purchased a new Sunbeam Heritage Series Mixer and was quite pleased with it's performance and the price. It does all that the higher priced mixers do and is more economical. I'm very pleased.

I'm glad to hear that the mixer performed well for you during your busy holiday baking. Making baked goods from scratch is easier with a mixer that you enjoy. I hope you keep on mixing things up!

After reading the negative reviews about this mixer, I was somewhat hesitant to purchase one. My old Sunbeam Stand mixer (30 years old) was just starting to go and I was approaching Christmas Cookie baking time ..I decided to take a chance and ordered the Heritage Series mixed ... I preferred all of the speed settings on the dial. My new mixer was delivered right in the middle of making my first several batches of cookies ... a perfect time to test it out. I was not disappointed at all. It's much quieter than my old one, works beautifully ... only one complaint --- the electric cord is too short ... I had to put an extension cord I mix on my big counter so it isn't close to the outlet ... I would have liked if the small bowl was included with the purchase ... its perfect for whipping egg whites ... I put my old small bowl inside the new larger one and did it that way. I'm waiting for the small bowl to become available on line again. I would definitely recommend this mixer. In fact, I already talked my sister-in-law into buying this one instead of the other much more expensive, larger and heavier mixer.

After reading these reviews, I was skeptical, but now I am so glad I decided to purchase this mixer. The price was reasonable and so far the quality has been superb. We've made multiple batches of pizza dough, cookies & cakes. The attachments do not clank together and they mix the bottom of the ingredients properly. The bowl also rotates as it should. We are looking forward to using it for a long time to come! It's also good to know Sunbeam has quality customer service if something does go wrong.

Very nice mixer

I think this is a very nice mixer and I recommend it. It is sturdy, powerful, and does a great job mixing and kneading. The bowl-shift lever allows you to move the bowl while mixing. I think this mixer is a great choice for the average household without spending big bucks. It is also very quiet, which is really nice. There is an overload feature so that the machine shuts off if the motor is overloaded, which is a good feature also.
Having a second, smaller bowl is a big advantage and if you buy this mixer, you should order the smaller bowl. I think the smaller bowl should have been included. I also think there should be an adjustment for the beater to bowl clearance, to solve the occasional problem of the bowl not spinning. Also, the instruction manual doesn't tell you anything about kneading bread, which is a shame since this machine does a nice job of that once you know how to do it (in other words, don't turn it up to high and just sit there and expect it to produce a loaf of bread).
Like all Sunbeam mixers, this machine is interactive, so you do have to work with the dough/batter and scrape, etc. I feel this is a plus, as you have more control over the mixing process and it's more fun than just turning on a machine and watching it. Again, a better instruction manual would help.
The bowls are not compatible with other Sunbeam mixers, which I don't understand. A glass bowl option would have been great. So, for these reasons I rated this a four-star rather than five star, but overall it's a very nice mixer and a great value if you get it on sale.

I bought this several weeks ago, got a great deal on it, & love it !! I had a Sunbeam Mixmaster years ago & used it until it was worn out. When I decided to buy another mixer, it was an easy decision to go with a mixmaster again.

I received this for Christmas last year-yes, I really wanted this for a present. I love it. The higher the speed the more it rotates and by adjusting the slide at the base it gets closer to the bowl for better mixing. I'm looking forward to getting more parts to do different things with it. Odered it in black, but should have gotten the red. Still happy with it no matter what the color is!
