Best Sunbeam Kettles

Bought the orange kettle and toaster set in 2023. Now in 2026 the kettle is broken and leaking. Didn't even get used daily, perhaps 3-4 times a week.… Read more

Average quality for a high price, of course you cannot repair them anymore. Likely won't buy another Sunbeam unless they're on sale

Had a few of these n love the size So practical for 2 people ..BUT because I liked so much I bought an extra one from Good Guys and left in its box… Read more

unopened and placed in cupboard at home Just opened as old one failed and the Brand New one has issues Seems to need several attempts to push start button down It keeps cutting out Found receipt yes its almost 4 yrs ago but its bn wrapped and left in original box ..Phoned Sunbeam and they could only refer me to the 12 month warranty and advised me that seals can wear out and electrical parts can fail without being used ..I was "hoping" Sunbeam might have liked to have it returned to look at it to see what went wrong but this wasn't an option Leaves me looking at my options for 1 litre kettles but this has bn so practical for many years but I need to change brands & look at Country of manufacture as well

Got it on special for half the price of most other Stainless Steel Kettle options.. and after using it for a week.. I mean im wondering why you would… Read more

need anything more.. my last one had all these fancy options and I literally just need an on/off button....

The button on the top if the only flaw, its very stiff at the start.. my wife couldnt open it.. I recommend using 2 thumbs! But after the first day its no problems now.. I mean its not as elegant as a more expensive kettle, but for under $50.. good to go..

Bought this as have read good reviews of it, only to find that after the first boil, it started developing what looked like rust mark/stain on its… Read more

interior base. It couldn’t be rubbed off when I tried to gently so it didn’t seem to be rust. Have no idea what they are. Rather disappointed with the quality (it looked like a premium product) as it’s a good looking kettle and not a cheap one as well! I bought it late last year as I was taking advantage of the Boxing Day sale but did not start using it until June this year (have been away for quite a while), so have not been using it for long until I had to contact sunbeam and subsequently got a refund. Still a hassle and an inconvenience.

Happy with this purchase, it was good value for money. It’s fast and soft boiling. A little alarm lets you know when water has boiled. Really good to see where the level of water is at…. also the kettle on the outside when boiling doesn’t get hot..

Great kettle, pity about the stains – Looking for a compact kettle, I stumbled upon the 1 litre Maestro and was pleasantly surprised. While not as quiet as the Bella Aqua, it was better… Read more

looking and I was pleased with the light weight and fast boiling action. However I had to descale this kettle every week to remove brown stains on the base. I believe Sunbeam have used thinner metal on the base to make the kettle lighter, and this is getting too hot and causing the base to stain inside. Item has since been returned, and I will stick with the Bella Aqua for the moment. Shame because I liked this kettle.

We purchased a combination Sunbeam kettle and toaster from Myer in Macquarie, Sydney. Bought them in late October last year, for over $250, so… Read more

currently about 4 months old and the silver coating on parts of the kettle, near the water gauge has already shown some fine cracking and there is one piece that's fallen off....4 months! These items are so ridiculously expensive in shops generally and we only picked a very medium-priced set, however should we expect the machine to show wear signs and coating failures after four months? Our last kettle lasted 6 years with little marks or paint damage! More 'quality' products out in the market and would have expected better from Myer products and Sunbeam!

- Boiling water spills from the sides of the spout when you have only a third filled with water - started smoking from under the handle area this morning - noisy AF Show details

DON'T BUY A SUNBEAM MAESTRO KE9750 – What an absolute shocker of a kettle. Do not buy one of these pieces of appalling design before you actually try to use one. For a start, it is… Read more

ridiculously heavy, and the hand design so bad that you need two hands to pick it up safely with just a cup full of water in it. With 1.7L of water in it, it's just too heavy, especially for senior adults and anyone not built like a weightlifter. Then, when you go get it up and over to a cup, the spout is: a) so badly angled that you need to tip it a long way over before it pours, b) and then when your hands, trembling with the load and the high amount of twist in your wrist, do get it over a cup, the spout is wide and flat rather than coming to a narrow vee, so the water goes everywhere, first one side of the spout and then the other, generally missing the cup. This is pure design prettiness over actual functionality. It's almost completely useless, except it can boil water. So can a saucepan and this is slightless less functional than that. If you need to boil water, either use a saucepan or buy another make of kettle, but whatever you do, DON'T BUY A SUNBEAM MAESTRO KE9750

Trendsetters!! – Bought to replace our wonderful 15 year old Sunbeam "Peace and Quiet" that worked right up until the bitter end when a slow leak put it out of… Read more

action. A real 5 star performer, that one.

The obvious problems - the water level window is on the left hand side. I'm not sure if you can buy "left handed kettles" ... but this sure feels like it. We would always hold the kettle with left hand, and fill from our rainwater tap with the right, watching the water level right there in the middle of the kettle. Since we're not contortionists, now we have to do the opposite which feels completely unnatural to us. Maybe it's simply that we'd become accustomed to the old one, but checking with the 3 other kettles we own of mixed brands across a couple of properties, 2 have their water level in the middle, and one has it on the right.

So maybe Sunbeam is hoping to start a whole new trend here. If we'd realised this we would have bought a different model.

Secondly, and painfully, the markings on the water level scale are displayed simply as raised indentations in the plastic. No paint. So there is zero contrast to distinguish the markings from the background. This makes it hard to easily judge the level, especially all bleary eyed in the morning, or if there's condensation in the window!! Again reference to the 3 other mixed origin kettles we own confirms all have their levels painted on.

Sunbeam ... you trendsetters. Wish we'd examined this damned Quantum before purchasing ... so we'd have realised it ain't "right for us"!

This one takes a noticeably longer time to boil too ... and once boiling it stays boiling for a lot longer before the auto shut-off activates. Probably doesn't bother most, but we generate our own power, so every watt matters, especially with an appliance that uses 2200 of them!

Oh well, it boils water, it's stainless, and the stupid plastic filter in the spout is removable. That's all we need it to do. Jeez we miss that Peace and Quiet though ...

Absolute rubbish – Bought this Sunbeam kettle expecting it to be quiet as advertised Very misleading it’s the noisiest kettle ever purchased Crackles and bangs like a plane taking off Show details

This kettle leaks, very dissapointed – This kettle leaks, leaving water all over the bench. I would expect a kettle to last for years and years, but this is our third Sunbeam kettle, all different models, and all of them have leaked after a couple of years of normal household use.

Started to leak from the bottom gradually after about 3 years later, in few months later my whole kitchen bench top will be covered with water in the morning if I forget to empty water at night Show details

The kettle handle fell off after 3 years… – I purchased this kettle and matching toaster in 2019 as I liked the design and look. The kettle started to have signs of rust after 2 years and one… Read more

side of the handle actually fell off while I was holding a full kettle of boiling water! Luckily I was close to the sink and dropped it with no injury to myself. I contacted Sunbeam to advise as I would not want this to happen to someone else and result in an injury. The response was sorry to hear that but out of warranty with no care factor. Very disapointing.

within days of use burn marks appeared on internal base from the element, waiting to see how before the 'stainless' starts to rust?

We bought this set from Good Guys. Kettle is ok but toaster didnt have a crumb tray. I couldnt take it back as I am in a wheelchair. I contacted Sunbeam to see if I could buy a crumb tray and they said no. Poor quality control and customer service! Show details

Waste of money. Better products out there that actually work. Product issues: very noisy kettle, takes a long time to boil, toaster is very slow to… Read more

toast, the toaster doesn’t toast very well, sectionals of bread miss getting toasted, our toaster ended up not working (would not stay down when trying to toast). Luckily our toaster was just with in the warranty period. Sunbeam was very good with the warranty claim. Took it back to point of purchase for a refund.

Very impressed – SUNBEAM Simply Shine Kettle is simply the best electric kettle I have owned, this includes far more expensive ones I've bought in the past. The… Read more

pouring spout is designed not to spill, it is quiet and fast to boil. Also can be placed on the base from any angle. I totally recommend this kettle.

We returned this kettle after only two days due to the handle not seeming particularly secure, as in moving slightly away from the kettle itself… Read more

where it joined at the top, particularly when the kettle was heavier. We could foresee this issue only becoming worse and potentially dangerous. It wasn’t noisy but not particularly quiet either and in fact the kettle we bought to replace it is noticeably quieter….. the Russell Hobbs Brooklyn ‘quiet boil’ which comes in a similar style, matte black with copper trim.

Design Fault - Leaking bottom – This was a great looking kettle for the first few years however, sadly like others have said it is now leaking from the join at the bottom which is… Read more

definitely a design fault and should be changed. Albeit dangerous too, with the electric base. Sad that these products only last a few years now, adding to our increasing landfill issues. Will not purchase this again.

Points of disasterous usage – Bought this at a reduced price from Catch.com.au, and it looks very stylish with the black and the gold trim. Meh, that's about as much of the… Read more

positive I can say! First of all, it is VERY noisy! We have trouble carrying on a conversation near it. Secondly, The on/off switch has a white LED in it which lights up as if it were to light the MCG at night! No sneaky cuppa late at night if you have people sleeping! Thirdly, the little filter inside the spout fell out one day, no biggie just snap back in, right? WRONG! Took ages to fiddle and turn it and finally it went back into place. Sheesh. Fourthly, and this IS a biggie, and a safety issue. it gets SUPER HOT! Be warned!!! I have burned myself several times forgetting that. My previous kettle was a thicker plastic and it would be warm to hot but not dangerously so. I am serious about this. It is very easy to grab a kettle by the body to go fill up, many people do that, if someone else used it and you weren't aware, YOU WILL BURN your hands! My previous kettle I would touch to see if it were still warm to hot to use the water my friend had boiled for my own cuppa. Ain't doing that no more, well, yeah, making a cuppa with the heated water but not the touching part! So if you wear gloves like in [Content Removed] and are [Contents Removed], it's great! Joke. Seriously: Don't buy it.
