Does it come with a whisk attachment or do you use the beaters for heavy whipping cream? Do they work the same as a whisk?

I use the beaters for frosting and such but I suspect they would work for whipped cream

It's designed to also use one beater as a whisk. However you would need both beaters for whipped cream. It also has a single "turbo" beater for milkshakes, soups and such. All work great.

After reading the answers below from other customers, I must make a rebuttal. While it is true that this mixer sounds slow, it whips cream in 60 seconds flat, whereas any other mixer I have had takes 5 - 8 minutes of beating to get whipped cream into peaks. It also handles cookie dough, cake dough, etc. It is by far the best hand mixer I have ever had. I am 72 and have had quite a few of them through the years.

I never used the whisk attachment. I used the beaters once and the bowl spins automatically. I was so disappointed in this mixer I donated it to a local charity for a rummage sale.

Yes, it's great for cookies, cakes, whipped cream, meringue, frosting and bread dough. It has two bowls. One you use the roller and scraper with and one you use regular beaters. I use the roller and scraper for everything except whipped cream, meringue and thin icings. I never use a mixer for mashed potatoes, a ricer or food mill is much better.

yes, you get a mixing bowl, beater, whip and dough hook. I also purchased a second bowl that comes in very handy.

I have not used it for this purpose, however, my old mixer had the same kind of beaters and worked just fine on egg whites or cream. My one complaint about the mixer is that it did not arrive with a small bowl. I'm sure meringue and whipped cream would turn out better in a smaller bowl. If I order one from Sunbeam, I'm going to specify that it has the attachment on the bottom so that it will turn at the correct speed.

Yes, it comes with two whisks. I've had this for a long time now and still love it. If something happened to it I would immediately buy another. You won't be sorry.

I make banana bread all the time which is heavier than cake batter and it does not throw batter out of the bowl even without the spatter shield. Start out on the lowest speed till the dry and wet are combined and you shouldn't have a problem. I love this beater!!! It is way better than the Kitchen Aid beater which only has rubber on one side. Keep the whip and dough hook and toss the beater that came with your mixer in the back of the drawer, once you have this one you'll never reach for it again.

It does! I use mine for this all the time. I like that the beaters are are of good quality, and sturdy! Hope this helps you!

It is a standard beater attachment that will work with most electric hand mixers. It plugs into one of the attachment holes.

No they don't but that would be a gret idea. It's a great machine but I wish the beaters went down into the batter deeper, if you know what I mean! They don't go down very deep so you have to spatula the batter into the beaters....kind of a nuisance but for the price, I'll do it.

The answer is no. However, I would say that for every single mixing task that I've used it for, the newly-designed whisk-type beaters are completely adequate - and an pleasant and unexpected innovative improvement over the traditional chrome bladed-beaters. I think it also comes with another set of lighter weight (whisk-type) beaters, but I've never had occasion or reason to use those. I wouldn't hesitate about purchasing this mixer because of the beaters, not even for a second. Good luck.

It comes with a whisk, dough hook and a paddle attachments. Easily interchangeable.

there is an attachment that comes with the mixer for that kind of mixing, good for ice cream and milk, (not ice)

Does not come with a wisk attachment. BUT!!!!! whips heavy cream in less than 5 minutes. Excellent for whipping cream. As also mentioned, using a deep bowl as opposed to a shallow bowl is much better. So powerful a wisk is not necessary.I also found mixing cream on lowest speed more that adequate.

No, it comes with a set of wire beaters, scraping paddle & a set of wisks. The manual says the standard chrome beaters dont come with this model. I made a cake and it turned out fine.

two wire beaters, a wire whisk that fits in one side of the beater (make sure it goes in the BIG hole)
