I purchased this mixer this past Xmas for my daughter. I couldn't quite manage the cost of a KitchenAid and thought this might work until I could save up for what she really wanted. What a total and complete disappointment. The mixer sparked and blew up 2 months after purchase. I've used Sunbeam mixers before and they were great, but they were also much older ones. If this represents the "new" generation mixers, they can keep them, don't bother opening the warehouse door. I also paid extra to have this pile of junk "giftwrapped", boy was that a joke.

$79 vs $300 .. for 350watt of power; this mixer does exactly what I need it to do, mix.. handle heavy cookie dough and its a stand mixer with power that has a pretty look for my new kitchen. and a 1 year warranty. What's not to like. Talk about getting More bang for the buck. I'm thrilled to have this product. Just in time for the holidays. now I have $200 bucks to spend on xmas gifts.

Their response: "Sorry they don't work for you, but those are the only ones we have." After one washing, they're rusting, too. "Caveat emptor."
