Sunbeam Heritage Series

An obvious advantage of a stand mixer over a handheld model is that, while ingredients are mixing, your hands are free to administer the rest of the recipe. The Sunbeam Heritage Series comes in a variety of models. Here are two Sunbeam Stand Mixers for you to consider.

Mixmaster Model 2350 offers 350 watts of power, 12 speeds, 3-way mixing action plus one 4.6 quart stainless steel mixing bowl, dough hooks and stainless steel beaters.

Model 2346 combines 12 variable speeds and a powerful 450 watt torque-control motor, providing superior mixing control and also maintains a steady speed regardless of the mixing load. Each unit ensures thorough, even mixing by offering dual-motor, three-way beating action. One motor turns the beaters in opposite directions, while a second motor rotates the bowl.

Both of these choices, along with the complete series styles available, make the Sunbeam Heritage Series a good fit in any kitchen routine. The heavy duty beaters take the hard work out of kneading dough and other heavy cake mixtures. The full die cast metal construction insures stability and durability.

Here are two Amazon customer reviews on the Sunbeam Stand Mixer, one pro and one con, to help you make your purchasing decision easier (or not?).

Great power, easy to use while beating!

I love my Heritage stand mixer! I used a sunbeam stand mixer for aprx. 25 years and it finally died on me. It was great except for the real heavy duty mixing (it had fewer watts than the Heritage model does). I replaced it with a KitchenAid stand mixer. I put up with it for 5 years and mostly hated it. It beat things too light; mashed potatoes, cookie dough which changed the texture and taste of foods. Worst was how frustrating KitchenAid's are to use. The mixing bowl is deep and small in diameter. There just isn't room for reaching into the bowl it's so small in diameter. When you add in dry ingredients to your dough you can't get into the bowl enough with anything other than a stirring spoon. I just found that it wasn't worth the frustration. Now I am back with Sunbeam to stay!

What happened to the Sunbeam I grew up with?

This is a terrible mixer. If you have anything thick that you need to mix (bread for example) you are running a risk of burning out your motor. My mixer has already been replaced 2 times and I have only owned it for 2 months. I called into Sunbeam service center and spoke to a rude young woman who instructed me to take it to my local repair shop. When I called the local repair shop and described the problem they told me that they could fix the product but the problem would happen again because the motor is not strong enough to mix bread! What happened to the Sunbeam that my mother owned? The one that lasted 30 years even though it fell off the counter twice? I am currently arguing with Sunbeam management about getting my money back on this mixer - don't make the same mistake I did.
