Vista
I've heard of Sunbeam Vista mixers but never a Vista toaster. Learn something new every day. A quick online search led me to the thread below on automaticwasher.org. According to the second reply, the Vista appliance line started sometime in the early-mid 1960s. The Vista appliance line was a series of price leader appliance models sold by retailers like True Value Hardware. But the "Vista" nameplate also got re-used later on.
I have a Sunbeam Mixmaster Vista mixer from (I think) the late '70s that's chrome with a brown base. The "Vista" nameplate at that point was a more deluxe entry in the Mixmaster lineup, equipped with a work light on the underside of the power head to illuminate the bowl. Interestingly, the light is un-switched and just comes on immediately when the mixer is plugged in. It's a nice machine, though, especially for the $5 and change I paid for it, sans bowls, at a thrift shop. Definitely a worthwhile find. CLICK HERE TO GO TO human's LINK | ||

I've got a sunbeam auto toaster but have yet to use it. It's very important to install a grounding wire to them and I have yet to do it so it just sits. I'm aching to use it haha Shown here next to my sunbeam Vista mixer.
