Sunbeam 2379 Mixmaster Stand Mixer
Like a second set of hands in the kitchen, Sunbeam's 2379 Mixmaster 12-speed stand mixer puts the fun back into mixing up special treats, daily dishes, and everything in between.
Soft-grip handle with burst-of-power button for heavy loads. view larger
Powerful Motor and 12 Speed Settings
The stand mixer comes equipped with a 300-watt motor, which serves as the powerful force behind its exceptional mixing capabilities, as well as 12 different speed settings that range from fold/knead, stir, blend, and mix to combine, cream, whip, and more.
Each speed can be effortlessly controlled by an oversized dial mounted on the stand mixer's head, with corresponding numbers clearly indicating the speed.
Use the lower settings for gently folding nuts, chocolate chips, candy pieces, and other add-ins into cookie dough or cake batter; alternately, adjust to the higher speeds to effortlessly whip egg whites for meringues, cream for perfect dollops on Thanksgiving pies, and a host of other batters, sauces, and baking mixes.
Soft Start and Burst of Power
The stand mixer's ingenious soft-start function offers gradual acceleration to the desired speed, preventing wet ingredients from splattering everywhere and dry ingredients such as flour or powdered sugar from puffing out and creating an unintended mess.
The stand mixer also handles large, sticky, and heavy loads with ease, maintaining its speed to turn out thoroughly combined results. When things get particularly tough, simply depress its burst-of-power button to ensure smooth, uninterrupted mixing.
Off-Center Head and Beaters
The stand mixer's stainless-steel mixing bowl is placed off-center, creating space between the edge of the bowl and the beaters. This makes it especially convenient if your recipe calls for gradually adding eggs or flour mixtures or incorporating delicate ingredients towards the end of mixing. The off-center design also allows for scraping while simultaneously mixing--reducing the risk of your spatula getting caught in the beaters.
3 Pairs of Attachments for Versatility
The stand mixer comes with three sets of dishwasher-safe attachments, including chrome beaters suited to creaming butter and sugar or mixing up sauces, cake mixes, and pancake batters; chrome dough hooks that efficiently knead bread dough and other heavy mixtures; and whisks that make light work of eggs, sauces, fillings, creamy soups, and frothy milk for hot drinks. The utensils insert neatly into the mixer's tilt-back, locking head, and they release with a press of the eject button for accessible clean-up after use.
4-Quart Mixing Bowl
A 4-quart stainless-steel mixing bowl also comes included. Great for both single-serve concoctions and double- or triple-sized batches to serve a crowd, the bowl fits neatly onto the mixer's turntable base, where it gently rotates during the mixing process--no more chunks of butter, clumps of flour, or clusters of spices and seasonings left at the bottom.
Additional highlights include a power/speed indicator light, a mixer-release trigger that removes the mixer's head from its base for compact storage, and a soft-grip handle for comfort and slip-free use while lifting and lowering the head. Designed with a sleek chrome body that wipes easily clean between uses (always turn off and unplug before cleaning), the Sunbeam Mixmaster stand mixer enables everyday chefs to fold, stir, mix, knead, and churn their way to culinary success.

Customer Reviews
First of all, it looks like a nice metal mixer with a metal bowl. Well, the bowl is metal, but the rest of it is just painted silver! It's just made of cheap plastic.
Second of all, the dial on the right with all the speeds on it: from the look of it, the mixer has several speeds, one for each number. However when you try to turn the knob, what you find is that it has three speeds- low, medium, and high. The numbers are there for decoration!
Then we come to the two metal mixing blades. One of them has an annoying plastic piece on the end that is always getting food stuck in it. I've had plenty of mixers that are designed well so that they don't have to have this hard-to-clean part. It gets food stuck on both the inside and the outside of the little plastic part on the end.
The bowl has two problems. (Well, there is a large and a small bowl, but they have the same problems.) The top edge of the bowl curls around the top to make a little lip. This is fine, but the lip is not actually closed! It's ALMOST closed. That means when food gets in there, it's almost impossible to clean out. Also, i got metal bowls because i thought i could use them for other things too- such as handy popcorn bowls. But the bottom of the bowls lock on to the mixer with pokey metal bits, so holding those metal bowls in your lap can be uncomfortable and snag your clothes!... Read more ›
If you knead a light mixer like for whipping, cake mixing etc it might be good but not for dough kneading.
This mixer was plastic. The bowls required twisting into holding slots. The beaters were similar to hand mixer beaters--not heavy duty. I returned the mixer, had my old one repaired, and bought a 1980 model on e-bay to keep as a spare.
Please spend the extra money and get a good quality mixer!
