This review is from: Sunbeam 3156 Heritage 6-Speed Hand Mixer (Kitchen)

Living in rural Maine, about the only place around here to get a hand mixer is WalMart. I was very unimpressed with the quality of the mixers that our store carried. I bought my last mixer there, and it didn't last a year. I have other Sunbeam products--an iron, a breadmaker--and have been pleased with their performance. I read a lot of the reviews here on Amazon before ordering my mixer. I agree with what most people say about it. It was well worth the price. It is a nice handling mixer, has good balance, and doesn't feel cheap. It has plenty of power to do anything that I need it for. I don't think I've even used the highest setting yet. The biggest test for any mixer I use is a big batch of chocolate chip cookies. This will work one up with ease. The only reason I hesitate to give it a five star rating is the fact that I haven't had it for a long time yet. If it lasts, it will be worth a 5.

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of Control Mixer, April 22, 2009

This review is from: Sunbeam 3156 Heritage 6-Speed Hand Mixer (Kitchen)

I got this as a Christmas present and it was terrible! I tried to use it once and the slowest speed was WAY too fast, which made it very difficult to control. Food was flying everywhere. I think more of it ended up on the counters and wall than in the bowl to use! There was a turbo boost button on it and it wasn't turned on. I tried to adjust the speed and there didn't seem to be much difference between the speeds. It was just REALLY fast! I considered this product defective and returned it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good power but slow speed is too fast!, September 12, 2007

Doesn't feel cheap, almost too heavy for a lot of mixing though. Good power but I don't notice much difference from speed 1 to 6. The lowest speed is far too fast. I got this to make (among other things) pudding and it just splatters the mix everywhere. It would be nice if the low speed was like a folding, gentle mix kind of speed. Not what I had hoped it would be.
