Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sunbeam 2350 Heritage Stand Mixer White
Customer Review: Can do better by hand!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted a stand mixer to mix bread dough. I saw this on sale and it looked really sturdy and usefull. Looks are deceiving! The recipe called for egg whites that were frothy- the beaters didn't reach to the bottom of the bowl to do this, used my hand mixer. Then when adding the flour mix the motor started to slow down and really pull after 1/4 the total flour. When I tried to change the speed of the mixer nothing happened. I'm pretty sure I can do better with by hand than this mixer does. The bowl and beaters were supposed to turn together--only if you turn the bowl and use a scraper does the batter eventually mix up.
I took mine back after 1 try and will look for something that will actually mix.
Customer Review: Don't buy this Mixer!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this mixer because I had owned a Sunbeam stand mixer that worked like a champ for 21 years. It is obvious that the quality of Sunbeam's newer offerings is lacking. This mixer started to have problems after just one year of use. The motor would died out during mixing. Resetting the dial would get it to start up again, so I just dealt with it. However, now it is totally unusable as it is stuck and will not tilt back, so the beaters can not be inserted. I feel ripped off, because I thought I was buying a quality product, based on my past experience with Sunbeam!Customer Review: Don't knead bread dough with this mixer
Summary: 1 Stars
This review is for a Sunbeam 2350 mixer. I used this mixer to knead bread dough, and it failed in less than five minutes. The gears are stripped, and the mixer no longer works for anything. This happened with a single loaf recipe and normal dough consistency, which leaves me wondering why the manufacturer included dough hooks with the mixer. In my opinion, for what this mixer does (or did, when it was working), a $20 hand held mixer would be easier to use, and would take one-fourth the storage room.Customer Review: Plastic gears
Summary: 1 Stars
We also bought the Sunbeam Mixmaster based on previous experience. It is unfortunate that the new products have sacrificed quality for cost. The drive gears for the beaters are now plastic and do not hold up to moderate load (Marshmallow Creme frosting??!??). I found that it stripped the teeth right off the head of the beater drive sleeve when I investigated. Of course I cannot find the parts to repair.
The wife and I are now going to go for quality instead of this low-cost alternative.
Customer Review: Sunbeam mixer Heritage
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
