Sunbeam Mixmaster HeatSoft MXM7000WH

The Sunbeam Mixmaster HeatSoft MXM7000WH is a 5.2 L planetary mixer with ten speeds and separate Soften and Melt heat settings for butter and chocolate. A dough hook, whisk, flat beater and scraper beater are included. For bread and pizza dough, the manual limits dough-hook use to speed 2. Its HeatSplash guard retains warmth and provides an ingredient chute. The heating modes switch off automatically after 3.5 or 6 minutes. If a heavy mixture stalls the tool and trips the overload protection, reduce the batch size before continuing.

How the calculator uses this mixer

Water temperature. Pandough uses the typical friction factor for its type, 12. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 16°C, against 25°C when mixing by hand.
Batch size check. Its maker publishes no dough capacity, so there is no batch limit to check.
