Copper is the new black for this summer’s appliances

There’s no denying the metallic and copper trends are firmly here to stay. From light fixtures, to homewares, to that controversial copper wall on The Block, copper is absolutely everywhere! But where it’s relatively new is in the world of appliances, with Sunbeam releasing its popular Cafe Series Planetary Mixmaster Power Drive in copper.

Planetary Mixmaster Copper Interiors Addict

Featuring a balanced spring assisted head lift, the mixer’s head is easy to raise and lower with only one hand. The balanced head also remains in position in between the open and closed locked positions, preventing any banging or sudden movements.

Other features include the Power Drive outlet, which allows you to add accessories to your mixer such as pasta rollers and pasta cutters; the Power Drive Cover to add a touch of class to your mixer; the Power Drive Storage at the rear of the mixer, ideal for storing the Power Drive Cover when in use; and the Instant Pause function, which makes it easy to pause the mixer to add ingredients or check on your progress.

The Cafe Series Planetary Mixmaster Power Drive Copper retails for $689. For more information visit Sunbeam’s website.

Sunbeam launch new big-fill toastie makers

Australians (myself included) love toasties. Everything tastes better hot and melted, and I dare you to challenge me on that!

The only problem is you can never get enough in them, leading to spillages and unwanted cleaning. So Sunbeam have been pretty clever with their latest offering, designing the Big Fill Toastie for 4, which features deeper and larger plates that allow for larger bread slices and 50% more filling. Retailing for $69.95, the cut and seal design creates two sealed toasties per sandwich for easy, one-handed eating.

Electric blankets are so last year: introducing heated throws and cushions!

When I was younger the hotel we frequented use to have an electric blanket. To me, having never used one before, it was ridiculous fun (I was a child don’t judge me)! To this day, I have a bit of a soft spot for them.

So the latest offering from Sunbeam has taken my awe to a whole new level. Introducing the heated throws and cushion! While they may not be to everyone’s taste (having a hot cushion will take some getting use to and that faux fur look isn’t everyone’s idea of stylish) with winter well and truly on its way, I’m ready to embrace them!

TR8100_3556_1800x1228

The heated throw (from $79.95) comes in both faux fur and plush fleece, with Sleep Perfect® technology seeing its temperature adjust accordingly to your body temperature. They also heat up in a quick 10 minutes, with six heat control options.

The cushion ($69.95) comes in faux fur and in contrast, has three heat settings, with 90 minute auto-off. Both the throws and cushion come with a three-year replacement guarantee.
