Sunbeam Stand Mixer

Sunbeam has been manufacturing stand mixers for almost 80 years. The first of their famous Mixmaster line was introduced in 1930 at a cost of around $100, which had put it beyond the reach of many homes. Today, Sunbeam offers a variety of stand mixers, the least expensive at the same price as of 1930.

A good mid-range option is the Sunbeam Model 2351 Legacy Edition. It offers a dual motor (which allows three-way mixing movement), twelve speed selections, and 450 watts of power. Two stainless bowls, with the largest having a 4.5 quart capacity, are included, as are dough hooks, wire whisks, and heavy beaters. Expect to pay between $150 and $200 for this model, which is available in five colors—black, white, charcoal, red, and silver.

While few accessories are available, it is a good choice for most home kitchens. It may not be optimum for cooks who frequently prepare double and triple batches of cookie dough or heavy breads, but it has the capacity and power for normal day-to-day chores as well as the occasional special duty.

For those who either want to try out a stand mixer, or whose exploits are limited to mixing a cake batter or a single batch of cookies, the Sunbeam Model 2371 stand mixer is a good option. This model is priced around $100 and features a 350 watt motor, twelve speeds, a locking tilt head, and Sunbeam’s “Burst of Power” option. It comes with two glass bowls, dough hooks, whisk, and beaters.

If this is still too costly, consider the Sunbeam Model 2372 stand mixer. Modestly priced at around $35, this will handle everything a hand mixer does without the necessity of standing over the bowl. It offers six speeds and a 200 watt motor, and comes with a 3-1/4 quart glass bowl, beaters, and bread hook. It can be used with the stand or as a hand mixer. While it will not handle heavy bread doughs or large quantities, it is a good choice for those who simply do not want to have to hold a mixer and who are accustomed to preparing foods in smaller quantities or who do not have the counter space for some of the larger models.

All Sunbeam stand mixers are designed to make clean up easy, with sleek designs, quick beater eject buttons, and slow-start capability to reduce splatters.

For more than three-quarters of a century, Sunbeam stand mixers have been one of the most popular choices of American women. Prior to Sunbeam, stand mixers were several times the price and limited mainly to commercial uses. Sunbeam carved out a niche in the affordable stand mixer for home use, a position it continues to enjoy even today. Years of experience are behind every model, and decades of use have enabled the company to provide the most-asked for features. With a wide variety of models, prices, and options, Sunbeam stand mixers will likely continue to be one of the most popular brands for many years to come.

Hamilton Beach Stand Mixers

Hamilton Beach stand mixers are perennial best sellers, and there is one that is suitable for whatever is required.

Before purchasing a stand mixer, it is important to consider what one cooks, how one cooks, and how much space is available for one. For those who often bake bread or large batches of cookies, the high end models, with greater power and capacity, are worth the investment. However, if baking efforts are limited to occasionally whipping egg whites for a meringue pie, a less expensive model will serve the purpose for a lot less money.

At the top end, the commercial grade CPM-700 Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer offers 800 watts of power and a seven quart capacity (no manufacturer currently offers larger in a home unit). For users who want to mix up triple batches of cookie dough or bake bread in quantity, this is a great machine. It is easy to operate, with features such as a head that tilts back or pops up to make it a breeze to change attachments and a sleek, modernistic design for simple cleaning. Safety features include a recessed “On” button and an automatic cutoff when the head is not in place. The bread hook and beaters are heavy duty, as is the unit itself. It comes with a seven quart stainless steel bowl and mixing attachments, and, in short, is a true workhorse. Expect to pay between $450 and $500 for this one.

In the mid-range, the Ecletrics Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer is an attractive option. Available in a wide range of colors, this machine has a 400 watt motor and a four and half quart capacity (stainless steel bowl included). The handled bowl locks in place, and the standard unit comes with bread hook and beaters. The head tilts up to make attachment replacement or bowl removal more convenient, and is a good choice for the average cook, and will easily handle even the stiffest bread dough. This model is priced between $160 and $185, depending on retailer.

For a lower priced, more basic model, Hamilton Beach offers a convertible Hand/Stand Mixer. With 290 watts of power, this six speed mixer is perfect for those whose main use of a mixer is to beat a cake batter or whip potatoes. It comes with dough hooks, beaters, and a whisk, and can be purchased for $45 to $65 from a wide range of retailers. This model is a good choice for cooks who use a hand mixer most of the time but would like the option of “multi-tasking”, taking care of other chores while the stand mixer whips the egg whites or mixes the biscuit dough. A four quart stainless steel bowl is standard with this unit.

Like all Hamilton Beach products, the stand mixers co-ordinate with their other kitchen appliances for a pleasing look. Several Hamilton Beach stand mixers have a retro-styling to them, and they are all designed for easy clean up.
