Summary: Get cookin'
Comment: I have done serious cooking and baking for 45 years and have always used the Sunbeam mixers. They last for many years and I enjoy the flexibility of being able to get spatulas, etc. into the bowl to scrape down sides, and the ability to add ingredients easily while the beaters are running. Also, the price is always good compared to the Kitchen Aid or other up-scale brands of mixer. I don't need all the attachments that come on the other brands since I have individual appliances to do those types of things.

This model is especially quiet and powerful, and looks good on the kitchen counter where I like to keep it for availibility. Some of the Holidays I wish I had two of these mixers.

Summary: Not for heavy use
Comment: I received this as a Christmas present in 2006. I do a lot of baking, and this was fine for light jobs (cake batter, whipping butter, etc.), but it labored with heavier things like cookie dough. The motor made a grinding noise when mixing heavy things, and stuff has a tendency to crawl up the sides of the bowl, necessitating scraping them down with a spatula. Then I tried kneading bread dough in it, and the motor died - despite Sunbeam's claims that you can use the mixer to knead dough! They don't make replacement parts other than beaters and bowls available, so my mixer is now an expensive paperweight. It didn't even last two years.

Summary: Will not last.
Comment: Sunbeam 2350 Heritage Stand Mixer White

My Sunbeam Heritage died yesterday. I felt I had to do a review on it to help those that might make the same mistake. When I got the mixer 1 year ago I was very happy with it. It was half the price of a kitchenaid. It had good weight and the motor sounded great. The first probelm I had was the base jumping which by the way looks metal but is made of plastic. Then where the mixer hinges got loose which would cause the arm with the motor to bounce. Even with the weight it was not heavy enough if I was mixing bread dough or even frosting it would jump all over the counter. Yesterday my whatever turns the mixers (not the technical term) got off so they cannot turn. It's now an expensive paperweight. I highly reccomend just biting the bullet and buying the more expensive kitchenaid. That is what I will do next time. That is unless you only need a mixer for a year or less. Good luck to you!

Summary: junk!
Comment: I bought a Sunbeam Heritage, but sent it back to Amazon. Then I bought a Kitchenaid Artisan.

Re: The Sunbeam Heritage:

It was cheap crap!. The beaters were similar to traditional ones by form and shape, except that instead of being molded together or welded together, the two beater "U"s were screwed together! So, in use, the screws will probably become loose, food particles will accumulate in the crevices etc.. I had had a high opinion of Sunbeam mixers since childhood when they were made in the USA, and were still made well and with good material. Now, their products are junk!
Still, I tried to use the device and couldn't get the head to lift up. The button didn't work. The powercord was also inconveniently short, about 15".

Re: the Kitchenaid Artisan

It looks good, it's heavy, seems to be of much better material and manufacture, but as one of the reviewers for another product mentioned, the beaters don't scrape the bowl adequately, and the shape of the 5qt bowl for the Kitchenaid makes it awkward. One has to turn it off, flip the lock switch off, lift the head, detach the bowl which gets locked onto the body of the machine, tilt the bowl and then scrape it, and then put it all back, lock it up and resume the beating. I tried to beat egg yolks for a cake and never did get the consistency I needed. I had to use my Toastmaster handheld to get the consistency I desired.
The whisk beater for the egg yolks did work well, however.
The whisk can't be run through the dishwasher however. That's somewhat inconvenient. In this day and age, shouldn't they make all such devices dishwasher capable?
All in all, the Kitchenaid isn't awful, but it isn't satisfying either.

What's happening to everything? Everything is cheap and flimsy, or else "fancy" by design and not designed properly. There is only one 5qt bowl with the Kitchenaid, so you have to transfer product to a different containers, clean out the mixing bowl and then reuse it. In the past mixers usually came with two, even though different sized, bowls. Also the bowl is too deep and narrow to handle conveniently. I think they design some of these products to have "a certain look" without taking the utilitarian needs of the user into consideration.

Summary: Sunbeam mixer Heritage
Comment: I have had 2 of the same brand. After the first died I figured it was my fault. When the second one died it was I was in the middle of mixing bread. I know now that this mixer was not intended for this type of use. I think it would probably br great for cake mixes though.
