I've got two chrome Mixmasters from the '70s. One is chrome with a chrome stand and the other is a Vista with a built-in work light and a brown stand. Paid a whopping $5.75 for it in mint condition at a thrift shop. The "juicer port" as some call it was actually a power takeoff port for a variety of accessories, of which the juicer was but one. I've got a food processor attachment for mine that does the slicing and shredding functions but doesn't chop. It's actually more powerful for those two functions than my Hamilton Beach food processor.
I got the first Mixmaster and the food processor attachment after my Sunbeam Turbocone food processor got broken. It was a great design with a conical bottom in the container that allowed the contents to circulate better than a conventional flat bottomed one. I never ended up with huge, un-chopped chunks stuck to the side of the container. |

It replaced an old 1940s one, so that my grandfather would enjoy lighter bowls than the glass ones. It's still perfect (hardly EVER gets used anymore). I have a 1950s one (from a convent, don't ask), as well as a brand new, retro hand mixer and a beautiful little chrome original hand mixer. I use my Kitchenaid stand mixer and sometimes the red 5-speed hand mixer. I've learned NOT to refer to it as the little "handjob". Made THAT mistake........................
I also have a Sunbeam Oscar, Oscar Jr, as well as the Cuisinart. Suffice it to say, it is a VERY well-equipped kitchen. You have no idea what's in there. Sometimes I even forget what's in there. Gotta love those old Sunbeams. |
