Strengths: Good looks, solid body, speed options

Weaknesses: Poor motor, grinding noise, many performance issues

Sunbeam claims that the MX8900R Mixmaster Mixer is a baker’s dream as it delivers a top-notch mixing performance. The MX8900R Mixmaster Mixer will surely look good in your kitchen with its red finish.

The Sunbeam MX8900R Mixmaster Mixer is outfitted with a sturdy die-cast metal body. It features a patented twin-motor technology. One motor drives the beaters and the other drives the bowl to ensure a thorough mixing result. The mixer houses a powerful 850 torque control motor to guarantee a powerful and reliable mixing action. Two stainless steel mixing bowls come with this package. There are many other mixing attachments like V groove beaters, dough hooks and stainless wire whisks. There are twelve electronic speeds that can be adjusted to meet your needs.

The Sunbeam MX8900R Mixmaster Mixer was designed to make whisking, kneading, beating and folding a simple task but the bench mixer doesn’t really live up to Sunbeam’s claim. The motor is unreliable and has poor durability. The noise created by the MX8900R Mixmaster during the processing is annoying. The dough hooks don’t work well while kneading. The beaters don’t reach the sides and bottom of the bowls.

This appliance from Sunbeam is not recommended.
