Sunbeam Products

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.

Used this a few times now and could not be happier. We started with traditional and curry pies and are now doing apple pies as well. We followed… Read more

the instructions carefully ensuring a 1/2 cup of filling (or a little more) and ensuring the filling was not too wet. The pastry is crisp on the bottom and the top (see photos) and is a lovely brown even without egg wash. As we can control the mixture we are eating better then what comes from the supermarket.

There are a few missing features like a on/off switch and the lid clasp could be a bit more robust but for the price we are still very happy with our new pie maker.

I purchased this coffee machine in 2022 and I think that was my best purchase. The coffee machine still works perfectly. I don't think no coffee… Read more

machine can beat this within this price. It has very simple steps to make coffee. Easy for a beginner coffee maker. My wife loves coffee from this machine.

The Sunbeam Kyoto Kettle and Toaster range is aesthetically appealing and positioned as a premium offering. However, the overall build quality does… Read more

not align with its price point.

The kettle raises safety concerns. On several occasions, the lid has unexpectedly popped open during boiling. If left unattended, the kettle continues to boil until manually switched off or the lid is closed. This appears to be from the lid’s construction, primarily plastic, including the latch, with a painted finish rather than aluminium on the exterior.

Additionally, the lower section of the handle, which is covered by a plastic casing, has expanded and detached. It will become impossible to refit properly. Since then, the kettle has begun leaking water onto the power base, presenting a clear safety hazard.

As for the toaster, while I have not experienced any functional defects, it feels relatively cheap in construction. The top surface is not aluminium but a painted, heat-resistant finish that is prone to discolouration and can't be easily cleaned.

After just over a year of use, the longevity of both appliances appears questionable. Given the recurring feedback online regarding lid failures and leakage issues, it is surprising that Sunbeam has not issued a recall or formally addressed these concerns.

Purchase online via Myers in September 2024 - I'm not expecting them to provide any solutions based on previous reviews.

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.

When we initially purchased this, it was great. Good size and value, and worked really well. After 18 months, part of the air fryer broke, where the… Read more

drawer slides in and the frame sits around the seal. It broke away in a few pieces, and it actually part of the body of the air fryer, so can’t be fixed or parts replaced. We contacted Sunbeam about this, as we felt that for the actually body of the air fryer to break after just 18 months (and a cost of $350), this shouldn’t happen. You wouldn’t expect a microwave or other appliance at the same value to break at this age either. Sunbeam just came back to us and said ‘apologies but it is out of the 1 year warranty, so there isn’t anything they can do’. So disappointed as we researched a lot before choosing this one, and feel really let down by the unfixable damage and no offer of any resolution.

This will burn you – Do not think of buying. This slow cooker gets so hot it burnt my fingers. This is a serious health issue and I do not understand how it passed… Read more

inspection if there is a product inspection. This has wasted my money and as a pensioner that really hurts. Do not buy . It is rubbish. After three hours on high it hardly started to cook. All it did was heat up the wooden board under the cooker and got so hot it burnt my fingers . Does Sunbeam take any responsibility for such a dangerous appliance.

Having purchased this product in February 2024, I am disappointed to report that it has already malfunctioned, with the fan failing and the heating… Read more

function ceasing to operate. Considering the price of $299, I find this to be a rather unreliable product. It only comes with 1 year warranty and can't be replaced or repaired under warranty. In contrast, our $80 Kmart air fryer, which is five years old, continues to function without issue. As a result, we will likely refrain from purchasing any further Sunbeam products.

Highly recommend. The quality of your cup is dependent on many things - the beans, the milk, technique, grind etc. Know your beans, every cup is… Read more

different. Powerful steamer. Easy to use and clean.

I bought mine in 2021 and it's still going strong in 2026. Very powerful in comparison to my friends bigger, more expensive, more featured breville. He's actually a little jealous of mine, additionally, his broke beyond repair that was worthy $ wise. So I have used both machines many times and can make a reasonable comparison.

Compact size, doesnt take up too much space. All the features needed - i didnt want the extras of pressure guage etc.

Downsides are: - only comes with one jug size. - noise when steaming milk. It's very loud and it is a big negative. - making a 2 cup has for 5 years been an inconsistent drip so I make all individually. - didn't come with a knock box, that's unfortunately normal - aesthetics starting to wear away from wiping.

Keep up the maintenance, it's definitely paid for itself and I'd buy another one.

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

I upgraded from the Sunbeam Barista Max after using it for five years. Over time, the group head started to leak, which seems consistent with other… Read more

reviews I’d read before replacing it. That said, I was genuinely happy with that machine. The coffee was always good, and getting five years out of it felt reasonable.

Because of that positive experience, I decided to stick with Sunbeam for my upgrade, and I’m really glad I did. The improvements are noticeable straight away. The sunbeam origins classic grinder is much faster, there’s far less mess, and the auto grind setting makes everything more convenient.

Overall, I was already satisfied with my previous machine, but this upgrade has definitely been worth it.

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.

Love the versatility of the zones allowing tray one side and tub the other. Uses less power than an oven. Good size but not going to cook a meal… Read more

for 4 in it too easily like most air fryers, but great for certain things for sure

Only issue i have is if you use two trays at once the top one chars and the bottom one doesnt cook through at all so heat circulation is clearly not up to scratch in air fry mode. Make sure you swap tray position mid way through to avoid this.

Very happy with my purchase after several months

Wish it was easier to get extra trays so you can cook 2 full trays or two full wire baskets etc. they do via one warehouse and they are terrible with communication if something isnt in stock

Really great item I purchased so far, easy to manage and steam clothes perfectly.

I've owned 4 em6910 cafe m/c's that were all damaged by lightning strike. Just a problem where I live. They were all excellent. I tried to buy… Read more

another one and ended up with an origins dual espresso machine. Out of the box, it appears nowhere near as heavy a build as the 6910, plastic parts against brass. Very simple instructions, for the most part, correct. Two things missing are a pressure gauge(helpful)and a milk temperature gauge (essential), obviously left off to reduce cost. Instructions state grind size dictates shot time, I set the grind at #21 and the shot time was 17 seconds. Trying to gauge milk temperature by hand is rubbish. Buy a milk thermometer, no guesswork needed. Beans were Aldi Luxe blend, at $30kg, excellent value and quality. From the first cup, really good crema, sweet coffee, velvet milk, at the right temperature. Very satisfying. M/C longevity? One of the reasons I didn't buy Breville, I'd love to give an update down the track that is as positive as now.

Terrible design. Difficult, recalcitrant service. This is the second time the plastic coffee bean spreader pins & supports in the hopper have… Read more

shattered. See pic.

First time this happened was not long after the grinder was out of warranty. After a plethora of email ping pong with Sunbeam (lack of) Service they finally relented & sent me a replacement under the ACCC rules.

This time I can’t be bothered going through that process again.

Other problems with this coffee grinder are as others have reported: *Grinds get caught in the bend resulting in an uneven distribution, & grinds are left behind in between grinds which can potentially become stale. *Coffee grinds exit the shute in a spray resulting in a mess on the bench top.

So it’s goodbye Sunbeam - unless you read this & wish to make amends, again.

<edit> The other two pics are for Sunbeam’s reference. It’s the first thing they ask for if they choose to make enquiries.

Perfect addition to my home – Having used this Air Purifier for 4 weeks now, I can definitely see the difference the quality of my sleep and how I feel the next day. I no longer… Read more

wake up through the night with a blocked nose and feel fresher the next morning. Not only does it look great in my bedroom, but I can also move it from room to room with the easy portable handle. Aesthetically, it fits my home perfectly. The quality of this product and benefit to my home/life is beyond what I expected. The different settings mean I can have the purifier on a lower or higher setting depending on my needs. The quiet motor also means I can have it on in my office when I am working or have it on through the night. The additional Ionizer gives me piece of mind that the air I am breathing, and my daughter is breathing is cleaned more thoroughly.

It is the perfect addition to my home.

Perfect for both pain & warmth – I have had this shoulder & back heating pad for a couple of weeks now and used almost every day. My lower back and shoulders have had a little bit of… Read more

pain from exercise and this has helped manage it. On those cold days I love having it on while working from home, no need for those little portable heaters anymore, I'd recommend to anyone who would usually grab a heat pack for pain relief or feeling a little chilly.

Found this mixer to be quite expensive - the softening butter feature we used once or twice - it's a bit gimmicky. much easier to just soften butter… Read more

in the microwave or take it out a bit earlier and use a cheaper mixer

I don't know if ours was just a dud (although I notice a lot of the reviews complain about the noise), but ours emitted an excruciating high pitched whine when it was in the lower power settings (spare a thought for any dogs in the neighbourhood). So much, so that I would never use it at any setting that produced it and I cringed every time it was brought out.

Most recently when we turn it off after use, it has this electrical crackling sound (like it's sparking inside). I reached out to Sunbeam and after harvesting all my information and reviewing for a few days they didn't want to know about it as it was out of the 12 month warranty period.

For the cost I would not purchase this again: 1. Had I known about the noise, I wouldn't have purchased it in the first place, and 2. Given Sunbeam's lack of interest in the product fault, I can't say I would purchase another one of their products.

Doubts over how long it will last – Purchased from Harvey Norman 18 months ago. Used to make 2 cups a day and was fine until alarming mechanical noises when pour should have commenced… Read more

followed by lack of pressure and ‘pulsing’ noises. Originally this was a ’special price offer by HN ($445) and we took out ‘Product Care’ for an extra $80 – not worth it, but more about that elsewhere. This model is discontinued but the same HN still had 2 in stock, at $749. Now here’s the rub. If you accept a refund, you only get $445 – the’ good deal’ only applies to the initial purchase, the terms don’t carry over and apply to any future problem resolution. BUT Australian consumer protection law makes it plain that the the purchaser is entitled to a replacement if the identical model is available (which it was) if it is a major, as opposed to a minor fault. A major fault is something that cannot be fixed in a reasonable time, something that, had you known about it, you wouldn’t have purchased the item in the first place. It took 70 minutes of escalating argument with HN before I left, with a new machine, at no cost. Short of the thing exploding into flames, I cannot imagine what could be more major than a sudden loud rattling noise followed by a failure to produce pressure to make coffee. There’s a heater in there, and a pressure pump, controlled by chips on a motherboard. How long – and at what cost -would that take to investigate and repair? I now have a replacement. I’ve read that others have had a similar fail after just 18 months (coffee makers have an average life of around 10 years. I’m not particularly happy – I personally would have elected to choose another brand. I’m livid with the time spent arguing for my legal rights with Harvey Norman at Garden City. How many people accept a store’s incorrect, and illegal, interpretation of what protection is guaranteed by national consumer legislation? It will be interesting to see what the response will be from ACCC.

Not a bad machine – The machine is good for what it is. It only takes ground coffee and is similar to brew coffee, not creamy. However, it comes with a milk frother. It… Read more

is probably better to make iced coffee. Would be good if the sprout is adjustable for making hot coffee to avoid splashing as it is too high for a normal mug. The milk frother tends to get burnt at the bottom so need to give it a scrub when cleaning, not a quick sponge wipe. I have not put the filter in the dishwasher yet so cannot comment on that. It's low maintenance in terms of cleaning and good for the price.

Nano plastics for your eggs with a flurry of PTFE to finish. Who thought this filth was a good idea? If you want to avoid toxins in food, give this a wide berth.

Smells strongly out of the box. Could not use it in the house. After wiping it down as directed by the User Manual I had to put it outside of the… Read more

house and run it (empty) at 200°C to “burn” it in. I have never had an electrical appliance stink so much.

Have not used it for food preparation yet as the wife cannot tolerate the smell of the appliance. Hopefully it will go away in time.

Cake tin is small, but usable.

I bought this unit mainly for the rotating chip basket.

One word; Perfect. what else is there to say about it?

Broke down three times, TWICE WITHIN (12 months) WARRANTY period and was replaced by reseller but third time it was JUST (13 months) outside warranty. I will NEVER buy anything made by Sunbeam. Yet, when it worked - it was ok. Show details

Better improvement then the last model – Order this 12:1 Sunbeam to replace our Multifunction oven and air fryer. The old oven was a mean machine, excellent air fryer and long lasting. That… Read more

was the main reason for me to upgrade to 12:1. We ordered through Mitch’s and Brown in Geraldton.

We worked on a minesite so the usage of the 12 and 1 is 24 hrs and with so many team members on both day and night shift, we have opportunities to fully test this oven. More often than not we don’t clean the oven, basically we just cover the bottom tray with foil and that about it. The window cleaning is easy, just a wipe with detergent.

The last three days of using the 12 and 1 appeared to be easy to clean. I did notice we need to do the preheat or prime the oven few time a before the smoke and a Lee go away. After that the was good to use. The digital readout is easy to see and navigate, I did not like turning the dial from the previous oven

The noise factor on air fryer is much quieter, and I do noticed the unit provide a much better heating. So far we only used two main function: air fryer for cooking chips and sausage rolls, and the is pizza.

The light function is definitely good and must for all mini oven. Overall it a nice compact oven and if it built like the last oven; which I already can tell it is. Then this one will last for a few years.

Blender blades leak gunk - a food hazard – Terrible product. We've had the product for a couple years, hardly used (probably less than 10 times), and it already has the same fault that many… Read more

other customers reported here, which is the blades leaking gunk literally into the food despite proper cleaning and maintenance. This blender clearly has some serious design fault, so do yourself a favor and stay away from it.

Okay – Was happy with it to start with, unfortunately after a few uses we started having some issues. Once the batter was placed in the machine it would… Read more

I's not very powerful as a stove, but saves dirtying a second pot

The seal is notably good, one lasted me 4 years. The pot is great, but it's non stick so don't scratch it.

The pressure vent can get jammed with foam from things, notably some legumes. You can put a drop of oil in it like you would pasta water to reduce foaming, and it also helps not to release the pressure early in these cases. At worst, throw a tea towel over it before venting.... if you really had to.

Can you use it to pressure can? I wouldn't, but yea you could.
