is this good for making whipped cream?

yes, good for cream, making mayonnaise, potatoes or anything.. i just got it as an all purpose machine for anything needing to be whipped.

Low is high speed. There is no real low speed. Fast to fsaster. It will whip it up real fast so i would not recomend this mixer to anyonme because of no lower speeds.

I have not tried whipping cream with it, however, i would assume that with its high speed potential it could whip cream given the correct temp. etc.

Although I have not done it I feel it would work to do egg whites... It is amazing for heavy cream.... I would say yes..

No, I didn't notice any flavor, it only stabilizes the cream so it doesn't turn "runny" after a few hours like whipped cream tends to do....good to use for when making whipped cream frosting for a cake. I used it for a black forest cherry cake that called for whipped cream frosting, worked great.

A wire whisk is generally used for making whipped cream and egg white meringue. It's also good for mixing cakes and other quick breads.

I would think so, I really have not tried mine yet, but my son in law has the exact one, his doesn't and his doesn't leak and makes wonderful whipped cream , are you putting it on right if so I would write the seller, something does not sound right, I hope mine does not do that.

I think it depends on the recipe you use. If the batter is thick, then yes, a cone can be used, but it will be more porous than the ice cream comes you buy.mmitmworks well for a whip cream filling.

That's an interesting idea! I might try using this for making meringue or whipped cream, but this blade may have trouble whipping it consistently in a standing blender live my beehive...

I don't think it would whip. In my experience it stays more liquid in the fridge than the canned variety. You need the kind that separates into coconut liquid and cream for it to whip.

I think so. I've whipped coconut cream with it. Haven't tried yet with dairy whipping cream.

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.

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 have always used regular whipping cream from the grocery store, or heavy cream, 8%, and it works great. And I add what ever extra flavor or sweetening I want to it, sugar, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla or almond extract. It all works great. I have had one of these for probably 20 years and it still works the same as new, got my son one for his most recent birthday.

Nope, definitely not cordless. And the power cord is a little too short. But I make it work. If you go for cordless, that sounds pretty cool, but make sure it has enough power to do the job, and if it didn't have a whisk attachment, I would opt for a corded one that did over cordless that didn't. Whipped cream and mayonnaise are a breeze with it! :)

I use this to stabilize whip cream. Use 2 1/2t to 1c. whipping cream before beating. It does help the whipped cream last much longer. Add vanilla last.

Hi Crystal-I have only used this mixer to make cream cheese frosting. It does well on the mixing part but beware that if you put too much powdered sugar in at once it will POOF out of the openings (there is a small space between the bowl and the splatter guard). I made a cake in it last night. I am very happy with this mixer. I use it to make my own bread. It is not a strong enough or big enough mixer to make a 3 loaf recipe.

We buy those pint size containers of whipping cream and add some vanilla flavoring (in the coffee aisle or local coffee shop sells big bottles). It takes one N2O charger per pint of whip cream http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007JXR4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The company says make sure to use it all within 10 days but when I called, the rep said as long as the date on the carton of cream is still good, the whip is still good. It's definitely durable and even though we've only had it a few months, I could see it lasting several years.

I have used the lowest speed for everything except whipping cream. It is perfect, not too fast and not too slow. I'm very happy with it.
