Sunbeam Mixmaster Classic MX8500R (Red)
Never buy Sunbeam!
My husband gave me a beautiful looking red professional mixer for Christmas quite a few years ago. It matched my kitchen beautiful but that was all it did. I called David Jones where he had purchased it and they said we would have to take it to a service centre. I was unable to do that because I had no opportunity to get to such a place. I gave up, put it in our storage shed and went back to using my hand held electric mixer which didn't look so good but it did work beautifully. We are moving house so yesterday I retrieved it from the shed an...Read more
d thought I would give it another try before it went to the tip. It was just the same, beaters a problem, it worked with the middle beater and not the one on the bowl side. It still looks good but is no good to anyone. I will take the beaters and bowls and try to sell them at my garage sale and throw the rest away. For years I have told my friends to to buy Sunbeam and will continue to do so.

Sunbeam Customer Service is appalling
We inherited a new Mix Master Classic from my sister in law after she passed away. It had been in storage and new in the box, so my daugther used it for home economics assignment - for the 3 rd time - locking mechanism failed. I took it to Brisbane Appliance Service, who were really helpful - they were told by Sunbeam the part is no longer available. I rang Sunbeam service asked to speak to the Deputy Customer Service Manager. I explained the situation. No joy - according to them, regardless if a unit has not been used (New) and in storgage, ...Read more
it is not a new item. Really. I did try to reason with him, and finally said I would NOT be buying any Sunbeam product in future, but in the end he started yelling and abusing me, saying go to the ACCC ! Brisbane Appliance Service also tried to reason with there customer service centre on our behalf - again same reaction. Don't bother dealing with these clowns, not only are there products unreliable, and poorly manufactured, there attitude of what is reasonable customer service is a joke. Sunbeam did have a good reputation, but no longer. We will never purchase another Sunbeam product again.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

What a piece of junk
Bought a classic mixmaster 6 months ago. Lucky if I've been able to use it half a dozen times since. Almost impossible to insert the beaters and after 10 minutes trying I give up and use my old hand mixer! Also bowl often needs to be turned by hand - totally defeating the purpose of having a bench mixer.
Tried to contact Sunbeam via their online contact form and had to choose model number from their drop down menu. Form would not submit because of error - invalid model number!!!! (chosen from their list!)
Waited more than 5 minutes on the...Read more
phone to actually speak with someone -who then tells me he is sorry to hear that I think this product is a complete heap of junk and would never recommend, nor buy another! Suggests I take it back for another one. I have already done this to no avail. Same problem still exists!1 comment

Was good till...
i love my mixer all was going great till i made a batch of cupcakes tonight when all of a sudden the large bowl became stuck on the base and i was unable to get it off... still unable to get it off. it was a good mixer up untill now the only thing wrong i noticed with it was it the beaters where too hot to touch after ejecting them from the mixer, oh and that it was quite loud. other wise brillant the bowls turned. but now i'm stuck with a 5 year olds birthday tomorrow and none of his cake made.
really pretty, work well untill it broke
the beaters are too hot to touch when ejected

It certainly sounds faulty. If it was mine I'd take it in for repair.
Have you tried contact sunbeam
Customer service? Sounds like an electrical issue to me
Brendan K.Sunbeam
Hi Briza,
I do apologise for the issues your experiencing with the MX8500R. This does sound like an issue with the PCB.
If your still under the 12 month warranty and have your receipt, please return to the store of purchase for a replacement. Alternativley please give our friendly customer care team a call on 1300 881 861.

Hi the recipe I'm making says I need a paddle attachment but I have the sunbeam mixmaster Classic in red which I purchased 6 months ago and
Just noticed you can't get a paddle attachment, what do you suggest I use instead of paddle? It's for making a polish babka yeast cake? Thanks Donna

Hi, Whilst not an expert in this, the paddle is used for heavier items that a whisk can't take eg creaming (not melted) butter and sugar. So if you don't have a paddle (which is odd as this is the most general purpose tool for a mixer), then you can use a wooden spoon and a lot of "elbow grease" and it should be ok.

To their credit, Sunbeam finally suggested that I return the mixer for a store credit, which I have done with no problems. Have bought another mixer... no it's not a Sunbeam. Will see how this one goes, but so far so good :)
