Third-party reviews

What customers like about Sunbeam Mixmaster HeatSoft MXM7000WH

  • Innovative HeatSoft technology gently warms cold ingredients like fridge butter during mixing
  • Allows melting a whole block of chocolate in under two minutes directly in the bowl
  • Produces lighter, creamier batters and fluffier cakes compared to traditional methods
  • Equipped with a useful LED bowl light for excellent visibility of the batter consistency
  • Features a 5.2-liter stainless steel bowl with a thorough planetary mixing action
  • Comes with a flexible scraper beater that effectively cleans the sides and bottom of the bowl
  • Includes a HeatSplash guard that retains heat while minimizing mess and splattering
  • Provides a versatile 10-speed motor capable of handling both light meringues and dense doughs
  • Offers great value for money and a chic white design with elegant rose gold accents
  • Most of the mixing attachments are dishwasher-safe for fast and effortless cleanup

What customers don't like about Sunbeam Mixmaster HeatSoft MXM7000WH

  • The specialized chocolate melting function may feel redundant or unnecessary for bakers who prefer using a microwave
  • Requires some pre-baking prep work as cold butter must still be cut into small cubes before warming
  • The mixer unit is physically large and heavy, making it difficult to move around or find cupboard storage space

Verdict

The Sunbeam Mixmaster HeatSoft MXM7000WH is a 600-watt planetary stand mixer featuring a 5.2-liter stainless steel bowl with a handle and 10 variable speed settings. Its primary characteristic is the patented HeatSoft technology, which utilizes built-in heat nozzles to offer two temperature settings—'Soften' for bringing cold fridge butter to room temperature, and 'Melt' for tempering chocolate directly in the bowl. Main pros include a significant reduction in prep time by eliminating the need for a separate microwave or stove, an integrated LED bowl light for visibility, a HeatSplash guard to retain heat and reduce mess, and a versatile package of dishwasher-safe accessories including a scraper beater, standard diecast beater, dough hook, and wire whisk. On the downside, some users note that the built-in LED light can be relatively dim, and at 7.3 kg with a plastic and metal body construction, the unit is quite heavy to move around the kitchen.
