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.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

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!
