Fantastic motor came with all units and blends well but absolutely stinks if you don't clean it thoroughly afterwards. Would purchase from any reasonable price and use it for almost anything I need. Fastest speed worked like clockwork mixing almost anything as along as it is used well and properly.

Bought this hand mixer as my old hand one was a little weak. Very happy with this Sunbeam one, like the boost button also. My onky gripe is, is that the power cord is very short?? Why, why, why?? Very frustrating as you have to stand next to a power point, pretty silly Sunbeam! Good mixer apart from that.

This replaces the old Philips 150w hand mixer made in Holland which we've had for over 25 years which still works but was starting to smell electrical. From the first light cake mix batter I knew it was a dud and should have taken it straight back. Now we are lucky to get 2 mins before it cuts out. This is the third sunbeam appliance (blender and iron) we have had problems with recently and wont be buying sunbeam again.
Buy the cheapest and throw out after warranty or pay extra and get quality european

Have decided to discard this mixer and get another. I used it mainly for beating cake batter and the problem was that the lowest speed is not low enough.

When you first mix the batter which contains butter and cake mix powder, etc. it flies everywhere because you cannot turn the speed down low enough. My previous mixer which I think was a Breville had a very slow speed which was perfect for the initial mixing of batter and also great for shaking off the last remnants of batter when the mixing was finished. The Sunbeam JM6600 can perform neither of these tasks hence my decision to find a replacement.

Bought this product last November and we have hardly used the product a few times and already it cuts-out within 10-15 minutes of usage. Need to wait for about 15 minutes before its up and running again. Thought it would be a one off issue but it happens everytime off-late. Will be returning the product.

Have had trouble with hand beaters for years so went for the dearer Sunbeam 350w which was working wonderfully, love the low setting and the button for extra boost, use it for making packet cakes, cupcakes, just light stuff, it just stopped working when I was making cupcakes for my daughters 21st, there was no crunching noises or smell or grinding just stopped, I have had it only for 6 months, returned it under warranty, really scared now to buy another one, need to check reviews first.

First use today for a cheesecake. Egg, cream and sugar mix, and power cut out sporadically. Started on the room temperature Philly, and the motor completely died. My old $10 one went for years! Very disappointed; had high trust in the brand before this. Will be getting my money back from Target today.

LOVE this mixer! I make lots of cakes, bikkies, marshmallow, icecreams etc with it and it powers through effortlessly (Marshmallow takes lots of beating). Best mixer ive owned for creaming butter and sugar aswell. Only negatives: cord length too short and beaters bar snapped 1 month outside warranty. Will happily replace beaters though :)

This is the worst hand mixer I have ever used. We thought we were buying a quality product by purchasing Sunbeam but this heavy, short corded disaster can't even manage to cream sugar and room temperature butter. It has completely died and no longer works at all on its SECOND use. The ridiculous eject-beaters button is almost utterly superfluous, as cleaning batter from the beaters with a spatula, will eject them for you anyway. It also has zero power available in the first instance. You find yourself beating on high speed to just match the lowest setting of other hand mixers. Unbelieveable. PS: Creaming butter & brown sugar with a fork and a wooden spoon is a great arm work out.

The design is dangerous!. The cord is too short and the eject button is the on/off speed switch, therefore you must make sure you physically switch off at the wall. I chose this one to replace my 20 year old simple beater, because of the motor wattage, assuming it would last longer. It only lasted 19 months of low use (used no more than 40 times) & I only used the mixing beaters & whisks (not the dough hooks). It died when I was making the butter icing recipe in the Sunbeam recipe book that accompanied the mixer. Far better to buy the cheaper brands.

Worst ever hand held beater ever owned!!! Do not buy!!! This product should not be on the market!!!! I cant even beat a muffin mix without it cutting out!!! And on high speed it smells like its burning out!! Maybe it should only be used for beating egg whites - but who needs a one purpose beater? Such a let down sunbeam!!!

I chose this product for its higher watt motor and the Sunbeam range. I find it makes an almost ear-piercing whining noise at low settings. The power of mixing at higher settings is almost imperceptible (but at least the whining stops). Removal of the beaters require a strong thum pressure and is a bit tricky. It's fairly heavy to hold and really doesn't seem powerful at all. I wish I hadn't bought it. I miss the Braun hand mixer it replaced which served me well for 20 years!

The short of length of the cord is ridiculous, makes this unusable in my kitchen! have to stand huddled in corner between sink and bench because I am right handed and cord doesnt extend past the bowl on my bench.

Should have separate eject button too when I turn up the speed I almost release the beaters. Very poor design. Waste if money!

I bought this because Sunbeam products used to be high quality, and Australian made. I knew that they have been importing their products from China for a number of years. This one was supposed to be more powerful than some other brands. I used the mixer about six times - made a cake once, and beat up cream the other times. Even during the first use, I could smell electrical burning. It got worse each time. Finally decided to send it back. Sunbeam products were once very good quality and lasted for decades. Now they are just made to a price, and poor quality. I will buy a European made one next time. Can't get anything made in Australia anymore.

Very disappointed with this product. Firstly the cord is way too short and the eject button is ridiculous, it should be separate to the power button. DEFINATELY DON'T PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. I wish I had reviewed it before purchasing.

We have had the mixer for about two or so years and have used it only occasionally. Five minutes into this year's Xmas cake, the motor has burned out. I now have $60.00 of soaked fruit, some semi creamed butter and sugar, four lightly beaten eggs and no cake mixer. I am left with no choice other than to race out and buy a new mixer and guess what? It will absolutely not be a sunbeam!

What a piece of junk! Just bought this from target half an hour ago, and now I'm writing this review looking at the half done cake batter because the motor over heated mid-mix. I saw a $15 target brand handheld right next to this $70 piece of rubbish but decided to go for this one. Bad mistake.

Bought one from Costco 3 weeks ago. Used it to cream butter and sugar to make a bunch of cakes. Made about 5 cakes and then it died on me mid cake. Returned it. Got another one last week. Have done 6 cakes, and it has died again. Will be returning it and will never buy another one again. Absolutely terrible product. Was not mixing anything heavy, it should be able to cope with what I was doing.

It stopped completely. Won't work at all, after very little use.
