Garbage – They took 3 months to deliver and It ran for 20 minutes and died. Mediation consisted of Mumbai phone support that dragged on with neither of us understanding the other, and then emails requesting more and more information, including the batch number of the cooker, that is apparently located on the bottom of the cooker. I have returned the item to… Read more
Mitre10, but the base is glass, and I'm sure I would have noticed a sticker on the glass. The handle was very thin plastic, and the overall construction was greatly inferior to a no name brand that I bought at Kmart for $60 and lasted 3 years. Talking to my neighbour, he told me he bought a Sunbeam kettle, that wouldn't turn off when boiled. All these products are made in China, but it seams Sunbeam buys the lowest quality products, to put its name on. In future I will avoid the Sunbeam brand.
A really noisy oven – We bought this a couple of weeks ago to replace one we bought from Aldi several years ago at a third of the price of this one and always worked well and was silent in operation. Although this oven cooks just as well, the noise from the fan is extremely loud. The fan is evidently unbalanced. So we are taking it back to the Good Guys where it was… Read more
purchased and plan on looking for another make elsewhere. From other comments it looks like the fan issue is common. So Sunbeam, for the price, I think you should be producing a much better quality oven. Would not this buy again.

Faulty out of box – Bought one of these ovens as a 2024 Xmas gift still sealed in the box, to my embarrassment it tripped the house circuitry on first use disappointing the recipient, obviously never QC tested before distribution, no help from Sunbeam whatsoever. Most likely a known problem, since asking around about this product I now find I am not the only one with… Read more
this problem. STEER clear of this product regardless of model number. Many years ago one xmas day (first cook) I lost a full turkey as the glass lid shattered half way through cooking falling into pot, should have known better. Really a -0 star review !

Perfect for Roasting and so easy to use and clean! – Great. Cooks like an oven but sits on the benchtop. Definitely five stars for cooking and browning ability and ease of use. Cleaning, bowl is glass and can be popped in the dishwasher or soaked to clean easily. The only improvement would be if the numbers under the dials did not wear off over time making temperature setting an issue. I marked my… Read more
temps with a permanent marker which detracted from the overall aesthetics of the unit. The non stick pan provided does not survive in the dishwasher although I believe instructions state dishwasher safe but hand washing is recommended. All members of the family agree it is a useful addition to the kitchen.
So good buying a second one – We bought this oven for our motorhome & it cooks the best pork roast we have ever had. Crackle is always great. When we came home from a trip across the country we started using it @ home & we no longer use the oven in the house even though we have a Meile that is self-cleaning Show details · 1
Old was gold! New is P** – Old one last years new one last 9m until the heating element burnt out. replaced under warranty took it home to find the fan wouldn’t work on the brand new one Show details

Very Flimsy and Noisy – I had been looking for one of these for ages and finally found one at Farmers - The outside base & outside bowl are flimsy and plastic - very cheap looking - I would not have been happy had I paid full price for it - still expensive for what I did pay tho... Would think twice about purchasing again - only upside is cleaning it is easy as Show details

Not impressed – On my 4th use I preheated it..placed my room temperature chicken pieces on the rack inside..marinade dripped into the bowl...bang...glass cracked and continued to make cracking sounds for around a minute afterwards.... It's now useless Show details
Useless and disappointing – I purchased the oven 2 months ago, half way through cooking a pasta the Glass lid explode, what a waste money for this purchase and my dinner went to waste . Show details

Disapointed – We got a Sunbeam Nutioven CO3000 around 7 mths ago, after our old one died after 10 years. Were cooking a roast, when we heared a large crack and found a large crack in the bowl. Goodbye roast lamb. We are very disappointed particularly after having the last one for so long. Show details
Love it! – My daughter gave me my sunbeam oven last December. I love it that much I’ve bought a second one. Cooks food really well especially pork belly. I do wish they came with the extender but apart from that I can’t fault the oven Show details
Glass bowl cracked while cooking roast – We just bought ours on Saturday. We're so excited that we used it again the following day and today. Unfortunately this morning, the glass bowl cracked (about 30 mins into cooking) while the pork is being roasted. Glad it didn't shatter, but roast is ruined. Show details

Bad choice. Find another brand – Had another brand for 10 years - so long I can't remember the brand. It got worked to death and was the most useful appliance in the kitchen. Temp and timer controls were positive and precise. Eventually, a switch failed so in Oct '20 Mthr-inlaw bought us a Sunbeam, assuming they're all much the same. And anyway, it was the only brand available at… Read more
Good Guys and Bi Rite. That first one had a really imprecise temperature dial. We had no idea what the temp was as the switch 'floated' with at least a 20degree variation; eg 160-180, 200-225, etc, etc. If you wanted 170, you had to either wind it up to 200 and run it back till it felt firm then stop at 170, or zero it and wind it up to 170 - which might have really been 150. Most times we had to guess by the way food was cooking; a real hit and miss exercise that spoiled a lot of meals and wasted a lot of food. Fortunately(?), in Feb '21 the element dislodged, hitting the fan so we took it back to Good Guys, who offered to replace or refund. Regrettably, we chose replace, and as no other brand was available, got another Sunbeam. Used twice and the temp dial is the same. No idea what the temperature is so we're using old-fashioned poke and prod judgement. This affects the cooking time too. Should've just taken the money and run. Embarrassed to take another one back so soon for what appears to be an inherent design/manufacturing fault but cannot live with the problem. Will ask for a refund and buy another brand.

Dangerous exploding glass – Purchased in october 2019 and apart from the numbers beside the timer button rubbing off we were quite happy until last sunday when we were cooking a roast dinner. After the oven had been on for around 30 minutes we heard a large bang from the kitchen and found that the glass bowl had shattered, looking at other sites this is not an infrequent occurrence and serious injury could result from flying pieces of glass.

Didn't last long – Good little unit used it 5 times and then the fan died. The fan didn't stop while it was in use either, we only noticed the next day when we went to use it again. Pretty disappointing.
Not Impressed! – Bought this at Amazon AU about month ago. Warm up light doesn't go out and no idea if temp been reached. Sub par and poor cooking results. Would not recommend this oven. Show details
Puzzled when temperature is reached – Bought my nutrioven CO3000 about 6 weeks ago, so dont know whether this is a fault, but I have no idea when the temperature I select is reached as the temperature light just doesnt go out. But having said that - I will switch on to the 240 temp, after 15 mins I will slowly dial back to see if I can find how far temp has reached, but I can… Read more
reach the minimum and light is still showing on as if it hasnt even reached the lowest (150) mark Can some one enlighten me please.
Rubbish – Bought a unit for my parents who are struggling during COVID19. Returned it within hours as the fan would not work. Was given a replacement and this time the element did not work. No heat. Again I took it back and this time was given a refund. Such a waste of time Show details
Lasts the Mfrs Warranty Period – This is my third Sunbeam bench top oven. All 3 lasted just over the length of the manufacturers warranty. I keep buying them because they are the perfect size to cook a chicken and vegetables for two people. So if you buy one I suggest you also buy the extended warranty. Show details
Love this machine - except – We were so impressed with this oven we bought one for our friends. However, the light has blown and would like to know where I can get a replacement tube??
this product is crap – I brought this product 3 day ago try it for the first time it made a squealing noise. I preheated as the book says I took the lid of to put my chips and fish in the NutriOven went cold after 1/2 minute and the warm light would not go off I will never buy this product again Show details
The bowl has an enormous crack in it – I bought my Nutri Oven in January,all was fine until the bowl developed a huge crack. I have bought a much cheaper K-Mart convection oven in the past and it lasted for years.I tried calling and I have tried to email you without success,I am very disappointed. Show details

Perfect alternative to the house oven – Designated a kitchen bench space so this oven can live there . I use this for all my oven cooking needs as it uses less power than my house oven. The glass bowl is perfectly sized for cooking for two adults. The appliance is solid, sturdy and very easy to clean. Show details · 1
Fantastic until the bowl cracked – I've had this product for about 2 years and use it easily 3-4 times a week. I love it. But today, while cooking a chicken, it made an almighty cracking sound, and the glass bowl broke clean in half. Fortunately it didn't explode like I've heard it can do. Chicken ruined. I need to buy a replacement, but now I'm worried about the new one cracking too. That said, 2 years is a pretty good run. Show details · 1
Works well – No operational problems with this cooker. It cooks evenly and quickly. It's easy to clean too. The lid is a bit heavy and clumsy, so you need to be careful of that. The person who sold it to me pointed out that fault at the time. Probably good for cooking for a small number of people rather than a large family. It is large enough that I don't… Read more · 1
have cupboard space for it, so it has to sit permanently on the kitchen bench - ultimately, it's up to your individual needs and space.
Good...but – First time use. Roast chicken and vegies. Followed the roasting instructions to the letter. After about 30 minutes the chicken was almost burnt. Turned it down to 150 for the remainder of the recommended time for a 1.8kg chicken. Vegies were perfect after the last 40 minutes. Had I not turned it down it would have been charcoal chicken...literally. Show details

dangerous bomb – Recently purchased one of these cookers ( 4 months ago) at first we loved it but last night while cooking a roast it literally exploded like a grenade showering glass all over the kitchen. My wife was stand close and a piece of glass hit her hand and cut to her finger. also the $35.00 roast was ruined. Show details

Absolutely great IF you Ignore cooking time and temperature guidelines! – Just fabulous!!! Great for two people, easy cleaning, faster than conventional oven. Very good for bacon (use lower shelf at 180 degrees) and superb for chicken and roast vegs. My advice would be to experiment! Don't follow cooking time advice as recommended temps are way too high. Use conventional oven times. Browning is superb. Best part is you can look and see how it is cooking. Love the easy cleaning and the speed. Show details · 1
The best thing I have bought and inexpensive too – This is one of the best appliances to have in your kitchen, had mine over 12 months now and is used regularly, easy to clean and all markings are still on control knob, just wipe gently with damp cloth. We love the Pork Roasts especially the crackle, I mainly use to cook all the roasts now, husband never complains about a roast during the week as… Read more · 1
only takes an hour and just place vegetables in my oven, so quick and easy. Steaks are a breeze and Pork Belly so yummo.
Great little oven – Finally got fed up with the wall oven with large electricity bills, too hot and a pain to clean. The nutrioven is perfect for the two of us! Easy to use & clean. My only beef is the warm up light doesn't turn off and the controls could be better highlighted. Also its a shame there isn't a replacement product for the extension ring for additional height! Edit: the warm up light is working! Have used the oven a few times now and am loving it! Show details
Disappointed – Just got the oven, and was assured anything you baked in the oven you could bake in this appliance. Baked a fruit cake. Took twice as long and had a stodgy bottom. Was very disappointed as it was a Christmas cake as a present for an elderly friend. It was cooked in a conventional tin at the recommended temp. Show details
Learning and enjoying – Have had my nutrioven for only 5 days. Used it to bake a cake, did some frozen savoury pastries and a pork shank, chicken drumsticks with veges = don’t overcook. All turned out well, but would have been perfect if taken out sooner. Crackling = YUMMMMMM Definitely love it and looking forward to more successes. Show details · 2
Terrible design – First time i have used it, holes in handle trap food, and a hassle to clean out, no visible marking on knob so you can be out by 180 degrees,how much would a line of black or red ink have cost?. mine never got to 250 after half an hour i shoved in the chicken breast pulled it out after 20 minutes, it was brown looked good but was dried out, one… Read more
of the rubber feet came out, not impressed by it, only good thing is it is easier than the oven to clean

Energy saver. Dont burn your food – My partner burns everything. So simple to use. Was using a convection oven. Then I saw the $1200 electricity bill. And went back to old fashion cooking. Small device less energy. Bought it about 4 years ago. Decided to take it out any finally use it. ... .... .... bbb Show details
Just Died, But I'm Getting Another One – I don't remember when I bought and started using this oven, could be ten years ago. We use it at least three times a week and it is great for three people. It is fast, food cooks well, great veges, easy to clean etc. Bearings went about three years ago but still persisted until now. It is a bargain compared to my Kleenmaid oven which has cost me… Read more · 1
the equivalent of four of these units in the same period just in repairs. I'm going to buy another one.
