Sunbeam is changing the mixing game, with the Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer review.
The NEW Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer is designed with unique HeatSoft™ Technology that features two heat selections SOFTEN and MELT for smoother, creamier and faster baking, all in one bowl.
The Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer is the first ever stand mixer in the Australian market to feature the unique HeatSoft™ Technology – the newest innovation to mixing.
Two unique heat settings.
What sets this stand mixer apart is its two unique heat settings.
Say goodbye to traditional melting methods such as stovetops and microwaves and get faster, easier and consistent melting results each and every time.
Soften
This feature uses gentle heat to bring fridge cold ingredients, such as butter, to room temperature.
Melt
This feature uses higher heat to melt ingredients such as chocolate while mixing, to achieve optimal baking results all in one bowl. It can’t burn chocolate – fool proof!
Mix and Melt in one bowl.
The Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer cuts out recipe steps and reduces the clean up, as it eliminates the need of traditional stovetop or microwave methods to soften or melt ingredients.
This heated stand mixer makes baking easy. Whip up a batch of brownie batter in under 7 minutes, fudge in 5 minutes or melt a whole block of chocolate in under 2 minutes.
Power and performance.
With the Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer, from delicate meringues to tough cookie dough, this stand mixer is changing the mixing game.
Key features of the stand mixer.
HeatSoft™ Technology with 2 heat selections: Soften & Melt.
10 speed variable control dial.
LED light to allow for better visibility of desired consistency.
5.2L mixing bowl with 360° planetary mixing coverage.
Technology has come a long way, a mixmaster with such amazing technology. To be able to heat just on its own saves so much time and dishes, makes life so much easier when cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Having a large 5.2lt mixing bowl is another great added extra. Great product

I have been using this mixer for a few months now and every time I use it I feel like Martha Stewart. I am in love with the chocolate “melt” function- I use it to drizzle over chocolates, dip cake pops and cover fruit with it. It is impossible to burn chocolate.. the soften function is incredible too, used for butter. Last thing on my to do list is to let the butter get to room temperature so this machine is my hero.
I cannot wait for more sunbeam recipes to come out so I can try some more of their recipes! Great appliance.

We were lucky to have our friends 25th wedding anniversary and vow renewal literally the week after we received the mixer - so it got a real workout making this 4 layer semi-naked chocolate cake! Easiest cake I’ve ever made thanks to the soften feature and intense speed for whipping up icing making it light (in both texture and colour!). Thank you for the opportunity MoM and Sunbeam!

We’ve been using the mixer for a while now and it continues to impress!
I love that for most recipes all ingredients can be thrown in and the mixer does all the work!! Especially the melt function, allowing you to melt chocolate perfectly before throwing in dry ingredients- it works a charm and is so easy without burning or overcooking.
The design is super simple with a dial to control the speed making is so easy to use - even my 5 year old has mastered it! The “splatter guard” ensures the bench stays clean too !

We have never owned our own mixer before (always have to borrow the parents!) and so we were so excited to un-box this mixer and get started! Our kitchen is less than Insta-worthy but this mixer is stunning, and brings a real modern vibe to the space. Love the look and feel of the buttons and the turn dial too. Also love the weight and feel of the different attachments and particularly the guard which seems to fit and seal the bowl perfectly.

We unboxed and used our mixer for the first time today, and I’m impressed! The mixer is a decent size, but still compact. The look and colours are stylish with “rose gold” trim for those who like to keep their mixer on the counter.
It is extremely easy to use (my 5yo easily could use the speed dial). We used the soften function today which was great, I think the melt will be a game changer! The instruction manual provided a quick guide to which mixer head we needed and the mixer mixed the smoothest cookie dough I have ever made!

The Sunbeam MIXMASTER® HEATSOFT PLANETARY MIXER is an absolute game changer. It quickly softens butter and brings cream cheese to room temperature which is a huge time saver. It can also melt butter and chocolate- without burning it! All of this also means you use less bowls and there’s less clean up. I give this mixer a 10/10.

Before reviews on softening butter, I wanted to show you closely what the mixer looks like. It's so pretty and the colour looks perfect in the kitchen. Apologies my video is in selfie mode so it is all reversed but I think you get the idea. On first impressions it looks perfect, all the attachments you need, dough hook, spatula scraper beater, normal hard beater and whisk. The heat splash guard is ideally used when softening or melting to keep the heat in. subscribe to see more videos on this mixer.

The Sunbeam Heatsoft stand mixer makes baking so much quicker and easier. It cuts down on time because you don’t need to wait for your butter to soften -it can do that for you. It melts chocolate without burning it and the mixing is handfree. It also means less dishes because you only use the one bowl. I can’t wait to try a cake in it next.

I always avoid any type of baking or food prep that involves melting chocolate because I ALWAYS burn it. I’ve tried all the methods and still manage to burn it every time. Burnt chocolate is gross. When I heard that the @sunbeam_anz MIXMASTER® HEATSOFT PLANETARY MIXER melted chocolate and that it was impossible to burn it, I knew I had to have one. I was so lucky to be selected to review it for you guys. I decided to test it with one of my favourites -Malteser Slice. The mixer made making this recipe so easy! It melted the butter for me and the chocolate all in the one bowl. And the chocolate melted perfectly first try!
Here’s the recipe:
125 g butter
395 g sweetened condensed milk
2 tbs cocoa powder
250 g plain sweet biscuits like Arnotts Marie
2 cups (60g) rice bubbles
280 g Maltesers
200 g white chocolate
2tbs coconut oil or vegetable oil/copha, melted (optional)
Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Put the the butter, condensed milk and cocoa into the bowl and press the soften button then the select button to melt. Once it starts to melt you can whisk until smooth. Use the heat guard to keep the heat in while mixing.
Crush biscuits.
Stir the crushed biscuits, rice bubbles and 1 cup halved Maltesers (leave the remaining Maltesers for decorating the top of the slice) through the melted butter/sweeteened condensed milk and cocoa mixture. Mix until completely combined.
Press firmly into tray.
Put the white chocolate and Copha in the bowl and press the soften button then the select button to melt. Once it starts to melt stir on setting number 1 until smooth and melted.
Pour over slice.
Press the remaining Maltesers into the chocolate.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
My 3 favourite features are:
1. Melting chocolate without being able to burn it
2. Softening butter
3. The mixer being a stand so that your hands are free while it’s mixing.
I absolutely love it.

When my son asks to make biscuits I use to have to say no, as the butter was never out softened and ready to go and biscuits never turn out the same if I melt the butter in the microwave. Fortunately with this mixer that isn’t a problem. So when my son asked to make biscuits today I had no reason to say no with the mix masters heat technology that softens the butter as it beats it. It worked a treat and the biscuits turned out amazing. In addition I love that the beater actually scrapes down the sides as it beats. My old mix master didn’t quite reach the sides and I had to constantly stop the machine and manually scrape the sides down.

My favourite feature on this great machine is the soften and melt selection, saves a lot of washing up as you don’t need a lot of different bowls. Great size bowl with 10 speed selections…… amazing machine

I am in love with this mixer. It does the job so much better compared to my old name brand mixer with the added benefit of the best functions. No more do I have to worry about planning ahead to soften the butter nor do I have to risk over melting chocolate in the microwave or using multiple things to melt it on the stove. This mixer ticks all the right boxes for me.

This fab looking Sunbeam Mixmaster HeatSoft mixer is my new favorite and is a family friendly kitchen appliance!
! I love baking so decided to try Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer.
The white mixer (I have a white theme happening in the kitchen!) and its a great! I can leave the mixer on and prepare other ingredients so it cuts my prep time in half! I love how easy to clean it is and the attachments that comes with it. The cakes I have made with this have been perfect! It also looks great on the kitchen counter. It's adjustable speeds make it easy to change the density and texture of the mixture. With Sunbeam's HeatSoft™ stand mixer, you can take the guesswork out and reduce extra prep time that comes with using a stove or a microwave.
Simply in love with the innovative feature. The innovative HeatSoft™ Technology is the new way to mix and melt all in one! Soften fridge cold butter or melt chocolate while mixing, in one simple step for faster and easier baked goods. My boys also loves it and said The Soften & Melt heat selections are just fantastic and they really love the LED light too. It saves time and makes baking that much more enjoyable!
This has helped with saving time in the kitchen. I love the colour and the look of the product, it matches everything else in my kitchen. I particularly like the large size of the bowl, made it easy to keep everything clean.
Great value and I will be the baking queen soon enough!

We’ve had the Mixmaster for a week now and finally had chance to get cooking after sharing our first impressions a few days ago! Our little man loved helping me to get the right attachment set up and changing the settings to melt our butter and make pancakes for our ritual Saturday morning breakfast! The Mixmaster made sure the butter was smooth (yet not hot) and so mixed beautifully when flour and other ingredients were added. Best part was that our little man could add the other ingredients safely and easily using the chute!

The Sunbeam Heatsoft mixer is the first mix master we’ve owned, and I wish we had got one sooner! I really love how simple the design is, so easy for anyone to use- the booklet is handy too if you’re not sure which accessory to attach !
I usually bake with my two daughters and am so impressed with how clean the bench is now we are using the mixer - the splash guard ensures most ingredients are contained in the bowl and the heat/soften feature minimises the number of utensils needed when baking!

Excellent quality, stylish, sturdy and easy to use
Our first use of the Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoftTM Planetary Mixer was to test out the Melt heat setting to melt chocolate to coat some shortbread fingers and I was very impressed. The chocolate melted easily and consistently and stayed liquid without setting before we were finished. And I love that you cannot burn chocolate in here either, which means I’ll be attempting more challenging bakes using tempered chocolate now, something I’ve struggled with many times before.
I also like it’s size, it’s not too bulky and it’s stylish presentation looks great displayed on the kitchen bench.

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.

Sunbeam Mixer
I love that for most recipes all ingredients can be thrown in and the mixer does all the work!! Especially the melt function, allowing you to melt chocolate perfectly before throwing in dry ingredients- it works a charm and is so easy without burning or overcooking.
The design is super simple with a dial to control the speed making is so easy to use - even my 5 year old has mastered it! The “splatter guard” ensures the bench stays clean too !

Sunbeam Mixer- first use
It is extremely easy to use (my 5yo easily could use the speed dial). We used the soften function today which was great, I think the melt will be a game changer! The instruction manual provided a quick guide to which mixer head we needed and the mixer mixed the smoothest cookie dough I have ever made!

Never burn chocolate again.
Here’s the recipe:
125 g butter
395 g sweetened condensed milk
2 tbs cocoa powder
250 g plain sweet biscuits like Arnotts Marie
2 cups (60g) rice bubbles
280 g Maltesers
200 g white chocolate
2tbs coconut oil or vegetable oil/copha, melted (optional)
Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Put the the butter, condensed milk and cocoa into the bowl and press the soften button then the select button to melt. Once it starts to melt you can whisk until smooth. Use the heat guard to keep the heat in while mixing.
Crush biscuits.
Stir the crushed biscuits, rice bubbles and 1 cup halved Maltesers (leave the remaining Maltesers for decorating the top of the slice) through the melted butter/sweeteened condensed milk and cocoa mixture. Mix until completely combined.
Press firmly into tray.
Put the white chocolate and Copha in the bowl and press the soften button then the select button to melt. Once it starts to melt stir on setting number 1 until smooth and melted.
Pour over slice.
Press the remaining Maltesers into the chocolate.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
My 3 favourite features are:
1. Melting chocolate without being able to burn it
2. Softening butter
3. The mixer being a stand so that your hands are free while it’s mixing.
I absolutely love it.

Its a winner!
! I love baking so decided to try Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer.
The white mixer (I have a white theme happening in the kitchen!) and its a great! I can leave the mixer on and prepare other ingredients so it cuts my prep time in half! I love how easy to clean it is and the attachments that comes with it. The cakes I have made with this have been perfect! It also looks great on the kitchen counter. It's adjustable speeds make it easy to change the density and texture of the mixture. With Sunbeam's HeatSoft™ stand mixer, you can take the guesswork out and reduce extra prep time that comes with using a stove or a microwave.
Simply in love with the innovative feature. The innovative HeatSoft™ Technology is the new way to mix and melt all in one! Soften fridge cold butter or melt chocolate while mixing, in one simple step for faster and easier baked goods. My boys also loves it and said The Soften & Melt heat selections are just fantastic and they really love the LED light too. It saves time and makes baking that much more enjoyable!
This has helped with saving time in the kitchen. I love the colour and the look of the product, it matches everything else in my kitchen. I particularly like the large size of the bowl, made it easy to keep everything clean.
Great value and I will be the baking queen soon enough!

I usually bake with my two daughters and am so impressed with how clean the bench is now we are using the mixer - the splash guard ensures most ingredients are contained in the bowl and the heat/soften feature minimises the number of utensils needed when baking!
