This mixer burned up on the first use when making divinity. So wish I had my moms old one from the 50's. Very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

That is definitely not the kind of experience that we want you to have. Our products were made with the highest quality materials and we expect them to last. We aim to provide great quality products and we'd like for you to be completely satisfied with your purchase and get the product's full benefit.
It's already been said: It's not the Sunbeam quality I used to know and rely on. In fact, I now go to garage sales looking for the "old" ones because they still out-perform this one. I bought this one because the one I'd been using for the past 20+ years finally died. Paying the extra for this new one wasn't worth it. Then, when I looked up the local repair shop, referred by Sunbeam on their website, the customer service reviews were so bad that I decided to try and fix it myself. When I got into it I found that the teeth on the heavy plastic/nylon gears turning the beaters had melted. Pretty sad that one batch of home-made divinity would do that. I used to make divinity a couple of times a month with my old one. It's now been over 90 days and I know by trying to repair it myself that I've probably voided the warranty, so I guess there's no chance in getting a refund (I wouldn't want to replace it with a new one). Save your money and look elsewhere! Hey Sunbeam, if only your gears were made out of metal - this may be a high quality, reliable product.

this machine makes the best dough, I make pizza and bread dough all the time, it comes out the fluffiest dough I have ever seen. It is strong enough to plow through heavy dough and very quiet. I absolutely love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

As the previous reviews, I thought this mixer would be top of the line. My beaters also clank when using. Not the power and quality I had anticipated from Sunbeam. Was disappointed it doesn't come with a small bowl. You have to purchase it extra.

I HATE this mixmaster for several reasons. I, too, thought I was buying an upgrade. 1st one like this died before I even used it twice, so Sunbeam sent me another. :-) BUT, now that I really tried to use it, I find: 1. The bowl doesn't turn to help incorporate the ingredients. 2. It will not convert to a hand mixer so you have to continually push the ingredients into the beaters. 3. Beaters clank (hit each other) as they turn. What a waste of money. I forgot why it continued to sit on a shelf, taking up space till I tried to use it to make fondant icing. It will be going to good will, maybe someone else will LOVE it...but I doubt it.
I purchased the Heritage Series because I thought the added cost of the upgraded model would be worth it. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed in the "Heritage"...it's not the Sunbeam mixer quality I had 40 years ago. The slow speeds are too fast to fold in ingredients (flour dust flies all over!) and the faster speeds don't have that much variation. I should have returned it within the 30 day period, but missed that window - ugh!
