Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
This machine makes very good coffee. Easy to use & very easy to clean. However, it is unreliable, we had to have the first machine replaced as it had an electrical fault. The second machine didn't last very long either & Sunbeam replaced it for us with...
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
This is my first coffee maker I have bought. I had decided that the only decent coffees came from multi thousand dollar machines at coffee shops so I was never going to buy one. I bought this on a whim to make great iced coffees in summer. However I...
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
Have just bought this machine and only made one coffee so far. It is very easy to use and clean and makes a hot (not lukewarm) coffee. I measured the water from the brewing head at 75+ degrees Celcius. The milk frother works very well making plenty of...

I took this product back after 6 months in June 2015 as the pressure was not building up. It was replaced and was working fine until this morning when smoke started pouring out from the top just beneath the cup warmer. It smelled like melting plastic...

This machine made good coffee, not great for about a year. Then the group seal started leaking. I bought a new and that lasted for about a month, so I bought another seal. Leaked straight away. Can't figure out where the problem is, so off to find a...

ike others have described (although sometimes the drip tray spills out a bit before the indicator is showing). Earlier productions of this model were recalled (safety issue related to wiring near the steam wand), but I checked the serial number against...
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
I saw that Choice had reviewed coffee machines, and rated this one highly in its class, despite being cheaper than most. RRP was $150, but I found that Myer had it on sale for $99 (still on sale but at $128) so I was well pleased for the deal. I don't...
Consumer review (productreview.com.au)
send a e-mail to sunbeam and they give us a new one... that was June last year. A week ago the same problem appeared again, To have 3 machines with the same problem isn't coincident any more. When the machine is working, it gives you the best coffee,...
