Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Equipped with a powerful 300-watt motor, this convenient stand mixer works well for everything from high-volume holiday cooking and baking to everyday tasks in the kitchen. The appliance offers 12 different speed settings for quickly and precisely mixing ingredients, while its Soft Start mixing function helps minimize ingredient splatter and flour puff by gently accelerating to the selected speed after start-up. It also provides a burst-of-power function, which delivers extra power as needed to ensure even blending. The stand mixer comes with one stainless-steel mixing bowl. Accessories include stainless-steel beaters for creaming butter and sugar or mixing heavy cake mixes, stainless-steel dough hooks that take the hard work out of kneading dough and other hard mixtures, and whisks that work great for beating air into mixtures like egg whites, yolks, or cream. Other highlights include a turntable base that allows the bowl to turn while mixing, a power/speed indicator light, a soft-grip molded handle for a secure grip, an eject button that releases the attachments, and a tilt-back locking head for convenient removal of the mixing bowl and attachments. After unplugging the unit and removing the beaters, the mixer head can be wiped down with a damp cloth and removed for compact storage and the accessories can be cleaned in the dishwasher. The stand mixer measures approximately 13-2/3 by 12 by 15 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

every design was wrong,

This review is from: Sunbeam 2379 Mixmaster 300-Watt 12-Speed Stand Mixer with Stainless-Steel Bowl (Kitchen)
I bought this mixer online, and i couldn't have been more disappointed. It looks good in the picture, but everything about it is just a little bit wrong. This mixer drives me crazy! I wish i had bought any mixer but this.
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! This mixer does not have a lot of power for mixing heavy dough, and you can't turn it to a speed and walk away (you have to hold the bowl or the mix will pack up in the mixer blades) but I wouldn't expect those things from a mixer this price. So that part is fine. However, those other things are all just design decisions. There are plenty of other mixers in this price range that don't do all those terrible things. Buy any mixer but this, really! This one is just a waste of money.

This review is from: Sunbeam 2379 Mixmaster 300-Watt 12-Speed Stand Mixer with Stainless-Steel Bowl (Kitchen)
I needed a stand mixer, and Amazon had this as the lightning deal of the day. For the price, it was a bargain. I did not realize the stand was plastic, or I probably wouldn't have bought it. I'm glad I didn't know. The plastic is solid and it does its job. I haven't had the mixer long, but I haven't had any problems with it. I do have experience with sunbeam products, though, and I feel confident that if any issues arise they will repair or replace the mixer. I see others comparing this to the kitchenaid mixers, and I just don't think that's fair. Compare items in the same price range, and you will not find a better one. Yes, at some point, I would like to trade up to kitchenaid. At eight times what I paid for this one though, it had better be impressive! This model comes with two medium weight stainless bowls, whisk attachments, standard beaters, and dough hooks. I seldom bake bread, so I haven't used the dough hooks, but for cakes, cookies, and the like, it's great. If you are like me and enjoy cooking, but can't afford to spend a lot of money right now, get this. It's a bargain, even at the regular price. Just don't expect a $400 product for less than $100, and I think you'll be happy.

Not Good :-(,

This review is from: Sunbeam 2379 Mixmaster 300-Watt 12-Speed Stand Mixer with Stainless-Steel Bowl (Kitchen)
I purchased this mixer thinking that it wudnt be that bad as it is made of chrome steel. But as soon as i opened the package i was very disappointed. Its steel plated and the inside is ALL plastic. I tried kneading small amount of bread using the smaller vessel and the mixer started to slide on the countertop. The upper part of the mixer was shaking as if its going to break or cause some accident. This is with a very small amount of dough, imagine how its going to be if i use the bigger vessel with more dough. This is NOT FOR DOUGH KNEADING. I woudnt pay $80 for a mixier that coudnt knead. Si i just returned it.
If you knead a light mixer like for whipping, cake mixing etc it might be good but not for dough kneading.
