Best Sunbeam Sandwich Presses

I bought this with great expectations, if you can make a toasty in a pan, this purpose built appliance must be batter right? Wrong. Flat bottom… Read more

(GOOD) ribbed top (BAD) it heats up really quickly but still doesn't toast the bread nicely, irrespective how much butter you spread on the outside. Then to top it off, I stupidly dropped it and the handle broke. Despite having bought it a few months earlier, I find out it's OBSOLETE and NO spares available. And don't try and talk to Sunbeam, they only want your money. Had it not been for the obsolescence I'd give it a 3 STAR rating. Off to buy a Breville.

Perfectly toasted Sandwich – Purchased as a replacement for my previous sandwich press I was immediately impressed by 2 important features. The flat bottom plate lends itself to… Read more

other uses such as egg frying, and is incredibly easy to clean as opposed to ribbed grill of previously owned models. Wipes clean in seconds rather than minutes cleaning each groove. Heats quickly and toasts to perfection... no soggy sandwiches with this purchase. Nice and compact, solid manufacture and cool touch handle. Can't fault this one.

Turbo Crunch is a winner – Awesome toastie maker with some really cool (and innovative) features. The Turbo Crunch button works a treat and really helps to deliver a crispy… Read more

toastie. The DuraCeramic coating makes it super easy to wipe away anything left in the plates which is an issue with other toastie makers I've used in the past. Great product overall.

I agree with the last review, this toastie maker is awful. No matter how much butter you use or how long you toast it for, it simply does not toast… Read more

as a toastie maker should. The outside of the bread does not toast and the filling inside gets hot and ends up making the whole thing soggy as the bread it still soft. As additional annoyance, every time I have used it, the toasties have a strange metallic taste. I tried to return it but had no luck as it is used. All in all, this is a piece of crap and I should have stuck to my old Sunbeam that I had for over five years.

We have had the Sunbeam Sandwich Press for 18 months before it stopped heating. The lights would come on but it would only produce minimal heat. The… Read more

warranty says only 12 months (conveniently). It's disappointing because this wasn't the cheapest option available so we assumed it would last longer than just over one year.

I will never buy another Sunbeam product. Low quality, minimal longevity, it seems like it was designed to break after a year.

Bad Design of Handle and Top Plate – As others have said, these units are bad by design. The floppy handle and hinge results in the top plate never sitting level. I returned mine and bought a Breville BGR250BSS instead.

What’s this black film? – I just bought this item. Washed the surfaces with warm soapy water, and dried with a paper towel (white), only to find a black film on the drying… Read more

towel. Rubbed more and there was less. Then I thought to look up Eazyclean, the coating that is placed on the hot plates. Is it Teflon? Is it toxic? Difficult to get any info but good to know because I won’t be using it until I’m sure it’s safe to use.

Uneven toasting ..top of bread hardly browns...takes 8-10 mins machine does not gets hot enough. disappointing purchase – Uneven toasting ..top of bread hardly browns..says 3mins to toast..thats a joke at least tripple that to get the bread to brown...i do not believe… Read more

the machine gets hot enough..a dissapointing purchase

UPDATE took it back and got a replacement as only 2 weeks old Briscoes gave me another one IT IS BETTER but still takes 8-10mins buts thats OK at least the new one does brown a bit better especially the top now is better so happier now ..i agree with others no bread is big enough to seal the sandwiches the bays are too big and it could still do with getting a bit hotter !!

Cheaply made over rated – Put ham cheese tomato in toastie maker brand new broke corner off top plate absolute garbage to claim warranty cost heaps in post
