Sunbeam MultiBlender Platinum PB7610

Sunbeam PB7610 replacement glass jug – Found this site on line to order replacement glass jug after cracking old one with hot water. Great performing product. Couldn't figure out how to get blade mechanism off old and onto new jug. This site sharing ideas gave me the hint "use lid as key to undo mechanism from under the base". Presto it worked! I have never been able to dismantle to… Read more

clean it properly in over 8 years. Great that you can buy parts for this quality product and better still providing this site to share ideas (as I was about to throw out the new $55 jug as it could not work out disassembly). Sunbeam, your equipment needs to be more intuitive to disassemble with clearer instructions in the manual but great product for another 8 years use. Glass jug replacement availability No instructions as to how disassemble blade mechanism from old jug

Disappointing – Every time I have to remove the blades to clean this blender, I remember how much I actually hate it. The design is terrible and makes it really hard to clean. Also, mould seems to accumulate underneath the rubber seal quite easily which is disturbing and unhygienic. I will replace this unit with a new one soon, and not a Sunbeam. Design, difficult to clean, unhygienic, quality of the blades,

Good unit, But horrible to pour with the Jug – Good Unit, But pouring with the Jug is horrible, Sunbeam may as well not even put a spout there, if you can call it that. I like the Glass jug, motor runs well, i freeze bannas and put them in the blender with ICE and milk, works well.. but so hard to pour our. If you get one for free grab it, but pouring it is a pain. It Blends. It does not pour cleanly.

Great Product – We have had a PB7610 since 2005 and have used it almost daily. Mainly for milkshakes, however the milkshakes often consist of frozen bananas and frozen berries. Its very hard wearing from our experience. We have noticed that for best blending results (as far as milkshakes), we blend to thick-shake, then add more liquid to get desired consistency… Read more

with a quick blend (else you will risk the occasional frozen bit).

I did try and grind almonds once, whilst it produced a great result, there was a electrical burn smell, so I didn't do that again.

At times the blades are quite difficult to remove, however reading reviews of the PB7600, you can use the lid to remove the blade. Since our blender is quite old with all original parts (including washer) occasionally it would leak, however we discovered that the washer needs to be inserted into the lip of the blade (at least when the washer gets old) so that it doesn't leak.

Noise wise, its relatively quiet compared to our other food processors (Kenwood FP185) & (Magic Bullet)about half the noise, however it will disturb any conversation within 7m of the product.

1 problem is that we poured boiling water over it last week, which caused a large crack in the glass. So we are now looking to purchase a new once since the glass replacement is approx. $55 plus delivery.

What we would like to know is if we purchase the PB7600 with a 1.5 litre heat-resistant glass jug, I assume it won't crack with boiling water or hot soup? Quick to Blend, Quiet compared to smaller products, 1.5 litres can make shakes for the whole family Glass jug cracked with boiling water.

mmmmmm – I was excited when I got this for my birthday one year, because it crushes ice. However, I was soon to be disappointed. The crushing ice function doesn't work and the motor burned bad. At the start we thought because it was new. We did take it back to the seller, was told as what suspected "NEW". So we kept using it for couple more times, then… Read more

it didn't work anymore. The motor wasn't moving. We took it back and got a replacement right away, but still did the same Smoothie is not smooth at all. Crushing ice is lump ices. So disappointed.

Doesn't do what it suppose to

very disappointing – appliance does not draw unblended product to blades even 1 slice of bread [broken into pieces] sits above blade, using pulse button does not help. have to stop machine & poke product down. we are extremely disappointed with this product. we replaced a very very old s'beam blender that was an excellent machine thinking we would get the same reliable product how wrong we were. thank you did not do job we felt it was mean't to do.

OK – Apart from a couple of minor annoyances, I loved this blender, it did an excellent job until it broke down. To unscrew the blades you need to use the measuring cup (which fits into the lid) as a "key", there are two indents in the rim of the cup which fit into 2 small slots on the bottom of the blender. It took us a while to figure out how to do… Read more

it because unscrewing it with fingers seemed near impossible, and I don't think this was mentioned in the instructions. it did a great job blending frozen fruits, ice, steamed veges etc.

Good thick glass blending container. The push on lid was quite annoying. Sometimes quite hard to pull off.

Afetr about 3 months of light use (maybe once every couple of days) the motor starting making a funny noise one day when I was blending some stewed apples. I switched the knob to the OFF position and it kept going, had to unplug it from the wall to stop it. It started smoking from the base and produced an awful electrical burning smell. Hopefully it will be replaced under warranty.

Good – If we ever get the blade assembly separated from the glass pitcher, we will be happy with the blender. Best features for comparable blenders. Blade circulates items in the pitcher for great blended drinks, especially when crushing ice. We cannot unscrew the blade assembly from glass pitcher - it sticks readily.
