Stand mixer

SkeeterN · 03-02-2013, 08:20 PM

I have $40 from birthday money. It isn't alot but there are a couple inexpensive mixers for about this. Would I be making a mistake? I would love to have a kitchenaid mixer but that most likely will not happen in my lifetime.

I am not strong and I am quite clumsy and some came be very heavy. I saw a Sunbeam 250-Watt 5-Speed Hand and Stand Mixer Combo for $39.99 free shipping from Amazon.

Would I be making a mistake. Wonder if I would use it enough to warrant getting this?

You will like it so much. I had a sunbeam stand up mixer for 10 years and gave it to my daughter , she's still using it.

I love mine.

I have a Sunbeam Mixer and I like it. I'm not a master baker but it works for me. I also got it on sale over the holidays for 29.99 so could not pass that up.

Does yours have stainless steal mixing bowls? This one is $45 in all the stores around here and I got it for $39.99 with free shipping. Just hope it works good.

Mine has 1 stainless steel bowl. Its the Mix Master Combo. It was 39.99 originally but found it marked down to 29.99 over the holidays.

Maybe it is the same one. Glad you like yours

Hi Skeeter I got this same mixer at Christmas, and I just had to comment--LOVE mine. I have a Kitchen Aid as well (very old but still does a great job). But I don't get it out of the pantry very often because it's REALLY heavy (don't want to keep it out on counter!) I still get it for the big jobs, but had been happily using a small portable mixer for the smaller ones. When I got one like yours for Christmas, the first time I used it I was reminded of how much time it saves to let the stand mixer do the work while you're free to move about and do something else. I knew that from before I guess, but hadn't especially thought about it. You're gonna love your decision, I'm betting! Jenn

I am thrilled. Thank you
