Sunbeam 2379 Mixmaster Stand Mixer

Excellent product, my mom used to have one like this. Comes with many features and accessories. When using it for mixing dough the mixing hooks are not the best around. Other then this, the product works perfectly.

I was disappointed in this mixer after having used Sunbeam mixers throughout my 45 year marriage. I use a mixer frequently and want one that has a detached head.

One of them has an annoying plastic piece on the end that is always getting food stuck in it. I've had plenty of mixers that are designed well so that they don't have to have this hard-to-clean part. It gets food stuck on both the inside and the outside of the little plastic pa... Read more
