The mixer simply unclips from the base stand so it could be used as a hand mixer too. The bowls rotated, sitting atop a free-running turntable and being driven by the 'edge' beater via a plastic cupped washer on the tip of the beater using friction drive against the sharply sloping side of the bowls near the bottoms. Other accessories include: dough hooks, blender, meat mincer, fine and coarse graters and came with 2 bowl sizes. Several attachments were available for the Mixmaster, including a juice extractor, drink mixer, meat grinder–food chopper, and slicer–shredder. Introduced in 1930, it was the first mechanical mixer with two detachable beaters whose blades interlocked. In 1928, the company's head designer, Swedish immigrant Ivar Jepson, alongside Bernard Alton Graham, invented the Mixmaster mixer. The company did not officially change its corporate name to Sunbeam until 1946. Gallagher (1897–1983), a buyer and traffic manager for the company, won the contest and received a check for $1,000. The name 'Sunbeam' came from a company wide contest to rebrand its growing home appliance business. In 1910 the company produced its first Sunbeam branded household appliance, the Princess Electric Iron (with an option to buy a fireproof metal storage box). Clark incorporated their Chicago Flexible Shaft Company, which made horse trimming and sheep shearing machinery. History Early history Sunbeam's flagship Mixmaster

Sunbeam was owned by Jarden Consumer Solutions after Jarden's acquisition in 2004, which was itself later purchased by Newell Rubbermaid (now Newell Brands). In 2002, Sunbeam emerged from bankruptcy as American Household, Inc. The company has endured a long history of struggles, including in 2001, when it filed for bankruptcy and was also found to have committed massive accounting fraud, for which it was subject to SEC investigation.

Its products have included the Mixmaster mixer, the Sunbeam CG waffle iron, Coffeemaster (1938–1964) and the fully automatic T20 toaster. Sunbeam Products is an American company founded in 1897 that has produced electric home appliances under the Sunbeam name since 1910.
