Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sunbeam 2591 350-Watt MixMaster, Black

Customer Review: not durable
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this product in April 2009 after I was unable to find parts for my older stand mixer, which was also a Sunbeam, but a lesser model. I remembered the durability of a Mixmaster that I had had for years before that one, and didn't think that my infrequent mixer use really justified buying a premium model this time around, even though I could finally afford one. I wish I had made another choice, though, because this model has some problems. It doesn't have the power to handle doughs (cookie dough, even) of any stiffness, so, although I was careful, I could occasionally smell the motor getting too hot. The machine would also inexplicably turn off and then on again sporadically as the mixer speed dial was turned up. That was bothersome, but tolerable. What ended my use of the mixer was that one of the beaters would no longer stay in place, and when I took the assembly off the stand to investigate, I could hear some broken internal part rattling around. And yes, the silicone/plastic cap at the end of one of the beaters came off as others have reported, but much earlier than the demise of the machine. I found the cap, but couldn't push it back on. Sorry, but this product should have been made better. I don't use a mixer very often, but I wish I had spent another $150 to $200 on something that probably would have lasted ten times as long.

Update: Since the mixer was already broken, I took it apart. What I had thought were broken internal parts are just bits of hardened insulation that have broken off of some of the wires. The main problem seems to be a couple of very small and thin metal pieces that are attached to a sliding plastic piece into which is molded a plastic snakelike spring. Each of these metal pieces holds one beater in place on one side only. The knob at the end of the beater pushes through the hole, moving the plastic and metal pieces aside and snapping into place when the spring moves back. It is supposed to stay in place until the user pushes a button that moves the plastic piece slightly and the metal piece just enough to allow the knob to pass and the beater to be released. The spring then snaps the metal and plastic pieces back into place, ready for the next use. Each time the mixer is run, however, the knob end of the beater grinds against the little metal piece that is supposed to hold it in position, soon wearing that piece out.
