great room heater – as a room heater its ok, throwing heat outwards. otherwise its a bacteria breeder. it cannot get hot enough to cook anything before 3 hrs. Show details

This cooker is extremely disappointing – This cooker failed after 2 years moderate use. Surely we can expect a longer and more reliable performance than 2 years. Although worked well initially it’s features are very ordinary.We will never buy a Sunbeam product again. Quality and reliability is non- existent. It is unfortunate that we can’t trust established brands anymore. Looking elsewhere in future.  Show details

Affordable but not great – For its price, it's alright because it does the job but it cooks slower than the times indicated in recipes. Takes a very long time for the temperature to heat up and cook food. The size is very decent and can cook for a family for 4-6 well. Easy to clean.  Show details

Big enough for a family of 4 – I bought this slow cooker to make my life in the kitchen a little easier. It is a perfect addition to my kitchen appliances and the size is large enough for a family of 4. We have been very satisfied with the results and tried a variety of meats and sauces. It is very easy to clean and care of, nothing sticks to the bottom, perfect results.  Show details

Love it – This slow cooker is big enough to cook a generous family meal. The results are always good but I find a longer slower cook preferred. I sometimes put it on late a night on low and let it cook through the next day. This is great for fall apart pulled pork or beef. It's easy to clean but the ceramic cooking bowl is quite heavy.  Show details

Simply Great – Such a great appliance to have, just set and forget really. I find while im preparing my ingredients have the cooker on warm then when you put everything in it starts cooking straight away then I just leave it on low all day as im a full time mum it makes getting dinner ready for my husband easy. So easy to clean just washed out, i would highly recommend it.  Show details

Made my life so easy! – I love my slow cooker - easy and no fuss about it. Allow me to cook soup, stew, curry as a super chef. The only thing was the cable that got damage and could not find replacement - luckily hubby took care of it, does not look good, but still do the job. The size suits more when I cook for 4 or plus people.  Show details

Easy to use, heavy to move – Works great. Haven't had any issues and feel safe leaving this on all day while not home. Originally was for my mother however it was a bit too big and heavy so score for me. If you have trouble lifting heavy things then I would suggest a smaller one  Show details

Cant Live without it – Slow cookers are perfect for entertaining or people with busy lifestyles.. Chop everything up, put it in the pot and walk away..

Nice cooker! – I am quite happy with the cooking result. I usually use this to cook rice and the whole family are satisfied with the quality it cooked. It not that hard to wash just need use water to float it and leave it to dry. The features are a bit simple but already good enough to fit all the requirements in the daily life.  Show details

Limited number of recipies – Using the slow cooker is easy to use however struggle to find ideas on what next to cook. A cook book in the box would be a great idea for more meal ideas. Online i can only find "Easy slow cooking recipes" where instead i would like to more advanced recipes.  Show details

Good size – Found this on special at Harvey Norman and for a family of 5 it is the perfect size. I also love the oval shape and easy to use functions. I can cook almost anything in this. It doesn't have the features of the more expensive models and brands but a good basic start to really see whether you would use it or not and maybe upgrade in the future to have more features such as timer etc  Show details

You need to invest in one of these babies! – gets the job done with minimal effort, this product was only $35 from the good guys and has not let us down yet! We use it nearly every night, and it is the most reliable appliance in my kitchen, the whole family can use it and I would change it for any other expensive brand! It gets the job done!  Show details

Love my slow cooker❤❤ – I love that it does the job perfectly without the aid of too many confusing options. Just low, high and keep it warm. It's really easy to clean and it's dishwasher safe. It's big enough to cook for a family without taking up too much bench space. It would make a great gift too.  Show details

A kitchen must – I bought this show cooker about 2 years ago and it's been wonderful. Perfect size for up to 8 people, it cooks well and is easy to wash. I use it mostly in winter and love the results i get. The little instructions booklet that comes with it has some good tips and recipes in it.  Show details

Solid – Was a wedding gift so we didn't choose to purchase it but after cooking with it next to friends for the price it sells at we thought it went quite well. Easy to use and clean up also. I would probably recommend to friends and buy it again if I had to.  Show details

Sunbeam Slow Cooker - Great – Great cooker for the winters months, come home from work to your meal already cooked. !! Easy to prepare food just a matter of putting everything in and letting it cook. With a child that struggles chewing this cooker is great due to the meat not being as chewy. Lots of different sauces in most supermarkets.  Show details

My new best friend! – Who doesn't love a slow cooker? The Sunbeam is really easy to use, it doesn't take forever to clean up even when you get honey dried and stuck all over the ceramic plate. It holds enough for four people and even more depending on what you are cooking. I would recommend this product.  Show details
