My aunt has that chrome one!
She bought it in New York City, for my grandfather. She wanted the lighter bowls for him. He baked well into his 80s. He's the one who had the bakery.
I have a 1950s white one (from a convent), a NIB hand mixer, 2 Kitchenaid hand mixers, a Kitchenaid stand mixer, and 5 Hoovers.
I'm good to go!

My memory is a little foggy. But, I think when I got this mixer, someone had put bowls on it that were either newer or aftermarket. They had no Sunbeam logo, and were made in Hong Kong or something.
Being a purist, I had to track down a set of American-made bowls with the logo.
All told, we have the Mixmaster, two 1970s Mixmaster "Burst of Power" hand mixers, one avocado, one harvest gold, a KitchenAid hand mixer, and a KitchenAid stand mixer.
I may or may not have a second chrome Mixmaster tucked away somewhere, in case this one ever decides to quit on me. But we won't speak of that.
I get myself on some pretty thin ice with the better half because of stuff like that.

Out to play, along side the small KitchenAid, enjoy the retro color and look

Barry, I like your chrome one. I forgot about them having the stainless steel bowls. I think your model with the black trim and silver logo was the best looking chrome model in that style. The later ones with the wood grain/tortoise shell trim and logo I think looks best with the harvest, avocado, etc. I've seen a lot of 60s/70s and earlier 50s Mixmasters around here at flea markets and estate sales. I like the white/black 40s-50s ones a lot.
I myself have the harvest one and another harvest that was a parts machine. I pieced mine together from a stand/motor and large bowl from a thrift store. Then I found another brand new looking stand/motor with the beaters and hooks on eBay. It had the manual, recipe books, but no bowls. So I paired my bowl with it. Later I finally found the small bowl at Goodwill. It's from a later 80s/90s one and doesn't say Fireking, but it fits.
I also have two of the 3 speed Mixmaster hand mixers in avocado. I haven't used them but really like the look with that front ejector button. My grandma had the same one but in white, but she replaced it later on.
Oh, and I have one of the current model Mixmasters in the candy apple red metallic/black color. I found it at Goodwill brand new condition for cheap and thought I'd get it just to see what a new one is like. I haven't tried it but it does have that electronic soft start and load sensing like the KitchenAids have. They changed the beaters to both be the round instead of one round and square which I thought was a cheap idea. It's creaky plastic and rubber and definitely isn't near quality as the old all metal or metal and plastic ones. But it is a neat looking mixer. I didn't get any bowls with it but the vintage ones fit perfectly.

I love that blue Kitchenaid!
IF I were to buy one now, that would be it. But, my white one is fine. I'd sell it, maybe....
But, I don't NEED to replace it. I doubt it will ever die.
When I make the sugar (cutout)cookies, the batter is the fill of that mixer. 8 cups of flour.
But, nothing mixes that batter better.

@gottahaveahoove and suckolux, If you'd like to try the pineapple cream cheese frosting I use on the carrot cake' happy to share. 1 cube butter. 8oz.cream cheese. 1tsp.vanilla extract 1 box powdered sugar,2tbs.well drained crushed pineapple. You can ad more if you like. The rest of the pineapple goes into the carrot cake batter, drained of course. You can use this frosting on other cakes or cup cakes. This recipe yields a generous amount, you will have a little left over even on a 3 layer cake. What's nice is that there are virtually no calories in this frosting! None whatsoever! If you'd like the carrot cake recipe happy to share that too! Billy

HaHa!
I guess we were on the same page on that one, oops there I go again! @suckolux, the frosting is pretty basic, the pineapple just kicks it up another notch and the remaining 16oz. of drained pineapple added to the cake recipe really adds some moisture. Shredding the carrots through my juicer with the screen removed yields carrots so moist that there is a puddle of carrot juice at the bottom of the bowl, that's how wet the carrots are ! You could probably use the shredder attachment on a mixer or "salad shooter" remember those? Remember now, there's absolutely no calories in the frosting or cake so you can enjoy all you want,hiccup, excuse me!
