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 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… Read more
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 !!
Not a fan! – I bought our my toastie only a few months ago. The outside of the toasted sandwiches never go brown. The butter just melts and the bread goes mushy. Nowhere near as good as our old Breville one. Really disappointed
Very good – Just bought this and have to say it’s the best one I’ve ever owned. Have used it about 6 times and impressed with how crispy they come out and how they do not leak. The only reason I give 4 not 5 stars is that the heat is lower in the front plates than the back so the toasties at the front need around 1-2 minutes extra. Show details
Pretty happy with it – We use all sorts of slice bread and the toaster is able to press them together pretty easily. Less oozing eg cheese from the sides because the pockets are significantly bigger letting the ingredients sit inside. My only gripe is the 12 month warranty by Sunbeam, something like a 2 year warranty should be more appropriate and would show that the company stands by it's products. Show details · 1
Was amazing, then the handle broke – We purchased our Big Fill Toastie make in June 2017 and loved it. It did amazingly well and handled everything we put it in from Reubens to cheese toasties. We loved the capacity and it was going so well.... Until last night when closing the lid and squeezing the two handles together. the bottom handle broke and we are quite upset. There is only a… Read more
12 month warranty and we expected longer out of such a good product considering we only use it once or twice a month at most.
Broken handle – I’ve only had this toastie maker a few years, with very minimal use, and it’s broken already. I put 4 cheese sandwiches in to cook, went to squeeze the two handles together to close the clip and the bottom handle completely snapped. Looks like the plastic handles can’t handle the heat and become brittle. Very disappointed and would think twice about purchasing Sunbeam again. Show details

Perfect!! Love it – Such a fantastic sandwich maker!! Heats up extremely fast! Fits a range of filing it and very easy to clean purchased at Harvey Norman on special! If your looking for a Awesome Jaffle marker this is it and very compact in size for easy storage now I will be making regular dinner jaffles. Show details
Designed too big! Depth is great! Width is a Fail! – Have just read the reviews below and agree, there is not a loaf of bread out there big enough! I get where sunbeam were going with the deep design but to make the width bigger also was a fail! The sandwich can't deal this not holding the 'extra' filling in! I believe the actual quality of the product is great but the design size is the let down! Can't see any bread brand option that actually lets this toaster do it's job properly. Show details
Oops I made an error...the sandwich can't SEAL thus NOT holding the extra filling in!!!
Terrible!! 3 loaves tried bread doesn't fit!! – I can't believe Sunbeam released this with such a massive design flaw at a high end price. I tried this out and I'm instantly regretting this purchase TRIED THREE DIFFERENT BREAD LOAFS NONE OF THEM EVEN NEARLY FIT SO THEY DONT SEAL FILLING POURS OUT OF EDGES!! Can I get a refund after I've used it?! Show details
Diappointed – I was just given the Big Fill Toastie as a present. I am very disappointed, which is an understatement! The bread does not brown or go crispy and I have left the sandwiches in the maker for nearly 10 minutes! If I had bought this myself I would be returning it! Will go back to using my old Kambrook.

Deep pockets, better than others – We are not fans of scissor jaffle makers because the filling usually end up squashed out and there is not enough in the middle of the finished product. Not so with this Sunbeam, as the pockets are the deepest we have seen and the finished jaffle has minimal edges and maximum filling. We even made apple pies in it, using pastry and filling, and… Read more
these turned out as yummy as other results. The best jaffle maker we have had, and there have been a few over the years.
Best sandwich press – This is the best sandwich press I have owned. I like my sandwiches to have lots of filling and this one works perfectly. I use a baking paper while toasting my sandwiches to keep it clean. If required, I then brown my sandwiches in a pan. Seems like a lot of work but it keeps the sandwich press clean.
Not happy! – I HATE this Jaffle maker. I had an original Breville one, but when the cord started to fray after 30 years, I thought I better get a new one! Well good luck finding a loaf of bread with big enough slices to fit! Even with the biggest slices I could find they fall short, causing the edges not to seal properly, therefore you just get slop on toast!!… Read more
Also the bread just doesn't toast up nice and crispy like my old one did, no matter how long it stays in there for. So, if anyone wants to buy one, contact me cos I have a near new one in the cupboard!
Best sandwich toaster ever! – Bought this a little over a week ago. I LOVE it! We have used it almost every day and with fantastic results. Its quick heat up time is great for quick breakfast toasties and its large capacity is great so everyone can eat at a similar time instead of having to wait for each sandwich to be cooked. I love the triple height closing clasp. Its… Read more
great for those sandwiches with extra filling so then you don't have to squash it down and all the insides end up on the outside!! I was a little worried it wouldn't seal the sandwich on the highest click but I needed have been! It works perfectly. I will say though it doesn't perfectly 'cut' the sandwich in half unless its just plain cheese, but its pretty close, all it takes is a bit of pressure from a knife on a chopping board and you are through!
My favourite of the moment is egg, smoked beef and cheese!! Yes! Starting with raw egg!! It cooks perfectly inside your sandwich and even puffs up a little so your samo looks so decadent!
I will say that I have only been using thin sliced bread because that's all I buy but I am sure thicker sliced bread would work just fine too. I prefer less bread more filling!!
No issues whatsoever with anything sticking to it. They have all popped out perfectly and any bits of filling that do happen to get left behind wipe off easily.
Even though I have only had it a short time, I would thoroughly recommend purchasing this item. Its sturdy and well built and feels like its excellent quality! I think Sunbeam got it right this time!!
Enjoy!
