Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sunbeam 2350 Heritage Stand Mixer White

Customer Review: junk!
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought a Sunbeam Heritage, but sent it back to Amazon. Then I bought a Kitchenaid Artisan.

Re: The Sunbeam Heritage:

It was cheap crap!. The beaters were similar to traditional ones by form and shape, except that instead of being molded together or welded together, the two beater "U"s were screwed together! So, in use, the screws will probably become loose, food particles will accumulate in the crevices etc.. I had had a high opinion of Sunbeam mixers since childhood when they were made in the USA, and were still made well and with good material. Now, their products are junk!
Still, I tried to use the device and couldn't get the head to lift up. The button didn't work. The powercord was also inconveniently short, about 15".

Re: the Kitchenaid Artisan

It looks good, it's heavy, seems to be of much better material and manufacture, but as one of the reviewers for another product mentioned, the beaters don't scrape the bowl adequately, and the shape of the 5qt bowl for the Kitchenaid makes it awkward. One has to turn it off, flip the lock switch off, lift the head, detach the bowl which gets locked onto the body of the machine, tilt the bowl and then scrape it, and then put it all back, lock it up and resume the beating. I tried to beat egg yolks for a cake and never did get the consistency I needed. I had to use my Toastmaster handheld to get the consistency I desired.
The whisk beater for the egg yolks did work well, however.
The whisk can't be run through the dishwasher however. That's somewhat inconvenient. In this day and age, shouldn't they make all such devices dishwasher capable?
All in all, the Kitchenaid isn't awful, but it isn't satisfying either.

What's happening to everything? Everything is cheap and flimsy, or else "fancy" by design and not designed properly. There is only one 5qt bowl with the Kitchenaid, so you have to transfer product to a different containers, clean out the mixing bowl and then reuse it. In the past mixers usually came with two, even though different sized, bowls. Also the bowl is too deep and narrow to handle conveniently. I think they design some of these products to have "a certain look" without taking the utilitarian needs of the user into consideration.
