I bought this to replace another sunbeam mixer that stopped turning on its own. I just took it out of the box to use and it does not turn well. It took 45 minutes to beat egg whites. I would have been better off keeping my old mixer or buying another brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for providing this feedback. The bowl spins on a freely spinning base by the nylon tip of the cone shape beater. The bowl may need to be nudged with your hand to encourage it to spin. We definitely want to ensure that your stand mixer is working well for you! Please call us at 1-800-458-8407. We're happy to help you Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm Eastern.
I grew up with my Mother using nothing but Sunbeam mixers so I bought this one for my daughter as a Christmas gift. After only a few uses she complained that the bowl would no longer spin. Now I have a practically new mixer that won't work. I can not believe that we can not buy quality appliances. Will never buy another Sunbeam mixer.

I bought this mixer in Tangerine. I also got a Heritage hand mixer in silver. Both work perfect for anything most people would use this for. It is not a commercial mixer like some expect. But 99% of us don't use it like that anyway. We make cookies, cake, maybe mashed potatoes. And as far as I am concerned it has always met my expectations. So I do recommend this mixer, and the colors are a cool touch.
I had a wonderful Sunbeam Stand Mixer that I bought with Green Stamps in 1960. This mixer worked great until about 2 years ago. Naturally, I would buy another Sunbeam Mixer. It has been okay, but now the Tilt button has popped out and seems chipped. I am having difficulty finding if I can even replace the part.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been buying the heritage series for over ten years because I like the double beaters. I buy two new ones every year or every other year depending how long they last because I use them often and the motor in the base tend to go bad after a year or two. 2015 I bought two more and was horrified when the bowls did not spin. I have exchanged them twice. Still the bowl does not spin. Why did they take the motor out of the base that made the bowl spin? If I wanted to turn the bowl myself I would use a hand mixer. I liked the old ones so much I keep them hoping that I find someone to replace the motor in the base. I have about ten of them. Please put the motor back in the base because this mixer is driving me crazy with me having to turn the bowl. I would hate to have to get Kitchen Aids with the one mixer. Or please tell me how to fix the base motors in the many that I have. Help

On the stand mixers all turntables are free-wheeling. The bowl spins on a freely spinning base by the nylon tip of the cone shape beater. The bowl may need to be nudged with your hand to encourage it to spin. We value your opinion, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. If we can be of any assistance at all, please feel free to call us at 1-800-458-8407. We're here to help you Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm Eastern.
