Save Sunbeam Standmixer with Burst


I bought mine about 6 years ago and it has not caused me any trouble. I never want to use another mixer. It powers through my toughest/largest batters. The burst of speed is incredible. This mixer has never failed me. These newer versions must not have been manufactured as well.Get more detail about Sunbeam Standmixer with Burst.

Discount Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKV25G0XWW Professional 5 Plus Bowl Lift Stand Mixer, White on White


This mixer was the best investment, I have had it for 4 years and it is still going strong. I have made breads, cookies, cakes, pies, huge wedding cakes, small batch candies, you name it, I've made it. Over the years I have gotten attachments as gifts and for myself and they all work great too! I had a friend help me with a lunch the other day and we were mixing a large amount of Chicken Salad in it and she was very impressed with the mixer and the amazing price I got it for , $99.00 ( I know!), 4 years ago. So I will be watching the sales for her. Once again, great product, great price.Get more detail about Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKV25G0XWW Professional 5 Plus Bowl Lift Stand Mixer, White on White.

Cheapest Jenn-Air Attrezzi JSM900LAAW Pearlescent White Stand Mixer, with Aqua Beach Bowl and Attachments


I purchased 4 of these Jenn-Air Mixers last year. Three of the four mixers have stopped working. Jenn-Air was bought out by Kitchen Aid and they will not repair or replace these mixers. They offered me 25% off new Kitchen Aid mixers. From now on I will not purchase anything from Kitchen Aid. There customer service left alot to be desired (like helping the customer solve this problem).

Buying Bosch MUZ 4 FW1 01 Meat Grinder with 4.5-Millimeter Perforated Disk


I just purchased this unit for my Bosch Compact kitchen machines (I have two!) and discover upon very first use that it grinds meat quickly and superbly as others have reported.

While grinding beef chuck,the last very last piece of meat in the batch pushed down the tube did not squeeze through the perforated disk, causing expensive waste - which is why I don't give it a perfect score. Maybe I will eventually discover some trick to make that last piece of meat go through the grinder completely - perhaps I should have chosen the highest speed.

Make sure to clean, dry, and oil the blade and disk according to the instructions. They tarnish and rust very easily. I discovered this fact the hard way while letting the disk soak in dishwater too long.

I look forward to use of this quality product for years to come, and experimenting with it for pates, terrines, and a variety of other recipes calling for ground meats. I have additionally invested in the berry press attachment for the grinder, which I expect to arrive soon.

Buy Sunbeam Hand/Stand Mixmaster 200 Watt Stand Mixer w/Burst of Power


I had mine for more than 5 years. I bake a lot of cookies, especially at the holidays. I also used it for mashed potatoes and other mixing jobs. It handled everything pretty reliably, even double batches of cookie dough.

The glass bowl is heavy and very nice. The beaters eventually got little rust spots on them (I live where the water is very salty). The spinning rotating cuff for the bowl went lopsided after about 4 years. And finally, one beater stopped being twirled about by the motor.

But I definitely got my money's worth from this mixer (and I'm back for another).Get more detail about Sunbeam Hand/Stand Mixmaster 200 Watt Stand Mixer w/Burst of Power.

Purchase KitchenAid ProLine 6-qt. Stand Mixer


I've had this stand mixer for a few months now and I was very excited when it came in the mail. It looks great in my kitchen - very sleek and a nice size. The mixer is very easy to operate and very powerful, I never really mix above speed 5 or so. The whip, dough, and paddle attachments (included with the mixer) secure very easily and stay secured when in use. After everything is secured in place, the lever on the right side (as pictured) is turned to bring the mixing bowl up and in place. The mixer works very well in mixing all ingredients together even if there is very little inside - but sometimes takes a while. The attachments mix all the way to the bottom of the bowl. A cookbook is included with instructions and recipes. The Kitchenaid brand is reliable and it compliments other Kitchenaid items in my kitchen!

The reason for the 4 stars:
The mixing bowl can be a little tedious to put in place, however. There's a little ding in the back that has to fit into a hole. Once it is secured, then the side holes go in. If the back isn't secured first, the mixing bowl is not in place and swings - and would shake loose while mixing. Also, some of the metal coating on the attachments come off (I had to peel back a little so it wouldn't get into my food). After soaking the dough hook (so I could wash it) for a couple hours, it stained with some splotches. When mixing dough with the dough hook for bread, the mixer works very hard (the bowl rattles and the machine gets hot). A few times while kneading dough, the mixer shorted out and stopped working. I had to turn it off, unplug it, let it cool, then start kneading again. The fact that it just stopped working is disconcerting because I'm scared it will just stop working one day.Get more detail about KitchenAid ProLine 6-qt. Stand Mixer.
