This review is from: Sunbeam 2551 Heritage Series 6-Speed 250-Watt Hand Mixer, Silver (Kitchen)

This hand mixer has an incredible amount of power. I have used it to mix extremely thick batters (that burned the motor out of my previous hand mixer) without any problem at all. I guess this is to be expected from a hand mixer that comes with dough beaters! The mixer is built well and feels very solid. The stainless steel bowl that comes with the mixer has a tight lid and is also very durable.
I highly recommend this appliance to anyone who needs a hand mixer with real power.

The first impression you get when looking at this mixer is its compact size, which is a plus when trying to store it away. When you turn it on you immediately notice the power and durability of this product. Aside from the mixer's sleek stainless steel style, the mixer comes with a very nice stainless steel mixing bowl as well. For the price this is a very good product, a must buy.

This review is from: Sunbeam 2551 Heritage Series 6-Speed 250-Watt Hand Mixer, Silver (Kitchen)

I haven't received my mixer as yet, as I just purchased it from QVC for several dollars less on clearance.

However, in reading the majority of reviews on both Amazon & QVC 99% of the buyers of this mixer were quite pleased with it.

I have noticed a few comments with regard to it no having a slow enough first stir speed. If you need to stir something, stir it by hand why would you even need an electric mixer just to stir?

The only other issue buyers mentioned, was that the beaters were difficult to eject. I called Sunbeam and spoke to a CSR in order to get more information on this particular mixer. So I asked her about the beater ejection issue buyers were mentioning in their comments. The CSR told me, you're not suppose to press the beater ejection button straight down, the ejector button needs to be pulled back with your thumb, then push down on the ejector button. This will release & eject the beaters.

The other question I asked the CSR was about the silver brushed stainless steel finish on the body of the mixer. I wondered if the body was made of a die cast metal or plastic and just painted to look like it had a brushed stainless steel finish. The body is in fact plastic, with a painted brushed stainless finish.

I'll update my review in a few days after I put the mixer through a few tests in my own kitchen.

Update 8/11/11

This mixer in spite of its smaller size has exceptional power & torque. No bogging down of power what so ever, even mixing heavy bread dough. Nor did I have any problem getting the beaters to release.

Thumbs up to Sunbeam on this one. EXCELLENT powerful hand held mixer.
