Sunbeam Reviews

I seemed to be going through too many Mr. Coffee machines. After 6 months, the latest one slopped water all around it, took forever to brew 3 cups, and failed to drain the reservoir. I took this last one apart, and discovered an almost completely clogged artery. The drip tube hose underneath was full of minerals(? ) from the hard water around here. I cleaned it up, and took care of all the symptoms. Now, I think I will start running vinegar through it every few months. I am not completely happy with the product, but they shouldn't shoulder all the blame.

I bought a Sunbeam king-size blanket from Wal-Mart. This is the second one in 1 1/2 years. Both lasted 3 months, and had the same problem. One side would stop working, and just blink. I will never buy Sunbeam products again! I learned my lesson, but I am not out $200.00 because of these useless blankets.

I bought the Sunbeam Mixmaster. I made cookies, and found that there was a nut in the cookie that came loose from the beater. My brother-in-law bit right into the steel nut. I called Sunbeam, and told them of the faulty problem with the beaters, and they offered to send me a new nut to screw back in. Mixmaster never did scrape the sides, and was extremely hard to lift the head up. Since i didn't get anywhere with the help line, I carried the Sunbeam Mixmaster right back to Wal-Mart, and exchanged it as damaged, for a new Kitchen Aid. Sure, I had to pay extra, but boy is it worth it. The beaters are wonderful (no nuts to hold them together). Someone is going to choke on the loose nuts that hold the beaters together, then they will have a lawsuit instead of a phone call. Buy Kitchen Aid. It is worth the extra payment you are going to make.

I purchased a Sunbeam Electric Blanket at Wal-Mart last year. The blanket does not heat up at all. I was going to complain to Sunbeam, but after reading all the other complaints, it seems that it would be a waste of time. I feel I am just out the cost of the blanket ($85.00) with no options to get a new blanket or recover the cost of the bad one I have. Sunbeam must be making their products in China, though I don't think even a China man would buy these lemons. Shame on Sunbeam.

I bought the twin sunbeam electric blanket for Christmas from a gift card at Walmart. The blanket worked three times and then would not heat and kept blinking. I then checked online and found the problem to be similar. Not a good product!

I purchased 4 twin size heating blankets and I have sent them all in for repair. Sent them in starting October 2008 and the repairs have not stopped. One of the blankets have been repaired twice and now another one they just repaired has quit heating again! The blankets only worked for a month New and now one of them just quit heating up with the cold weather knocking at my door of 5 below ugh. I have spent $38.00 so far in shipping and they are garbage! Never again!

The complaint is about a queen size electric blanket bought at Wal-Mart. The blanket would only heat one side. It cost $13 to send to Blanket Service at 224 Russell Drive Box 469 in Waynesboro, MS in Oct. 2009. I got it back in about a week. It worked well. It was the same blanket with new controls. Now again, one side won't heat on any setting. What do you suggest?

I also bought a Sunbeam Electric blanket, twin size, for my daughter. I got it last year at Wal-Mart. It was never used on any higher level than two and was installed as directed. This week, it stopped working and started blinking. Very disappointing!

I purchased a Sunbeam electric blanket with dual controls (style 84SQ, listed 613A E23623, RN17280, 18684, P.N. 107882-030, V225W895511 J93012). Once, control has ZZ and will not reset.

I had bought a Sunbeam electric twin blanket for my husband's side of the bed because he is always cold. It lasted 3 weeks and started blinking, I had to unplug it. I was scared it might cause a fire. I will never again buy another Sunbeam product.

Okay the Sunbeam electrical portable water is too bad, really. This is the 2nd time we bought because the first time, we lost the money because we need the receipt, Jesus! And now, same problem; the water I don’t know where it escaped because the water fell on the floor. Oh my God! I’m tired about this, but I like the electrical portable water for hot and cold water. I need help. What do I do? The price is around $100.00. I’m not paid $10.00. Sunbeam has a manufacture problem! Thanks.

I bought two blankets on Black Friday and used it on for about 1 1/2 weeks. Blink, blink. I took that one back to Walmart and started using the other one. This morning, Dec. 11, 2009, I woke up cold. Blink, blink. What happened? Sunbeam used to be the best. It seems with the remarks posted on this site, you guys need to close down your company. I will never ever buy Sunbeam again. Word of mouth is the best way to get others to not buy either. Do I have a big mouth?

Sunbeam apartment stove lasted a year and the thermostat is out and so am I. Petter brand/ MLO are out of business and Sunbeam has nothing to do with backing their name or products. No wonder Sunbeam stock is in the toilet for years. Licensing your name means backing it with a warranty or parts. What happened to Sunbeam’s licensing fees? In some CEO's Cayman bank account. No spare parts to be found anywhere. The name Jarden Consumer Group comes into this equation also, another rat in the wood pile. Consequences: cost $349.00.

I purchased an electric blanket at $74.99 six months ago. The item worked well the first week we used it. Then, my wife and I noticed that it was not getting as warm as it used to. The blanket just went downhill. I have owned electric blankets most of my adult life. According to the other negative comments, I probably will never buy another Sunbeam again. I still had my receipt, but I was not in the system. This is a lot of money ($75) to be warm for one week. Also, I had never washed it either.

Sunbeam Mr. Coffee Model M75 tea maker leaks hot water all over the counter. Apparently, it does the same thing that the Mr. Coffee makers do. The unit was purchased at the Kmart in Sumter, SC.

I purchased a Sunbeam microwave at a Target store in Joplin, MO on July 21, 2008. I bought it to use in my camper. I probably did not use more than half a dozen times. I went to use it this spring and blew a fuse in it. I contacted the listed repair service in Springfield, MO. She was unable to get the right size fuse for me. I contacted Sunbeam directly and they said if I had the receipt for it, I could get a refund. I told her all I wanted was a fuse and would even pay for it. I said I could not find my receipt. She said contact Target and they would print me a receipt. I contacted Target and they said they could not because it was out of their system. I showed where I wrote the check to them on 7/21/08 for $57.53 and that is all I have.

We have purchased 4 electric blankets in the past several years. None of them work/worked. I contacted the store where I purchased and the Sunbeam company. Long story short, they refused to do anything. The warranty is useless, and it costs the consumer more money to return the blanket with no guarantee. In fact, without a receipt, they will do nothing. This is an inferior company with an inferior product.

We purchased a Sunbeam microwave (model number SM0701A7E) in October 2008. It stopped working in late March. We contacted Sunbeam Customer Support and did everything they asked us to do. They received the purchase receipt and the parts they wanted returned several months ago at a cost of nearly $10 to us since it was going to Canada.

We have bought 2 Sunbeam Queensize electric blankets. The first lasted about 1 year. The second lasted 2 months before blinking and not heating. The warranty is useless with the return procedures in place.

The electric blanket that we purchased on 01/09/06 does not heat up at all. Last winter, we noticed that we had to put the settings on 8 in order to feel a little heat, but now we do not get any heat even at the highest setting. With the five-year warranty, we expect Sunbeam to do something about this. Please advise - and after reading the complaint from the woman in Colorado, we do not want to be put in that position. We expect to hear from you SOON as we need a blanket that gives us HEAT.

This blanket has been cross-country more than I have. Witness purchase 10/9/02, sent back 10/26/02, 1/31/05, 4/6/06,10/17/06 etc. I called to receive a postage paid label to ship it back on 9/08 and all Victoria was what size and color pattern I wanted. I called aback about 2 weeks after I had not received the shipping label and was informed by Lowell that I had to wait 4 more weeks for the label to be sent, a total of 6 weeks? I have never had a Sunbeam blanket even preceeding above dates that lasted the 5 year warranty.

I have a complaint about the sunbeam electric banket. For the past 3 years I have had to replace them because the unit that turns on the blanket starts flashing and it's not fair that I have to purchase a blanket once a year. They should last a little bit longer then that?

Bought the kitchen asst. mixer for my husband who is dealing with cancer. It worked excellent 1 time and he was able to get nourishment by using it. The 2nd time the rubber seal in the blade broke in 2 and now leaks. Store will not take it back has been used. Tried to call 800# no answer.NOW WHAT???All I want is a new seal...

My son and I have always used Sunbeam Electric blankets. They use to last at least a couple of years. But now, they are always breaking down and they would stop heating after a couple of months use. They wouldn't even last the winter. The last one he bought stopped working only after a couple of weeks.

About one month ago I arrived home and my apt. was on fire. Black smoke coming out of the balcony. Mr. Caffe Caffemaker FTTX85 switch was defective, and set my place on fire. I became homeless with two kids and a dog in one day. I have lost a lot of furniture, lost a place to live, couldn't work four 3 weeks, and sleep. This whole situation affected me mentally. I'm scared.

Model CGX20 programmable coffee maker, in use almost daily since early 2007, has twice turned on randomly, i.e. without being programmed to do so. This would seem to be a potential fire hazard, since the unit was empty at the time. Fortunately, we were there at the time to unplug the machine.

my husband just bought me a deep fryer CZF725 i used it 2 times and the handle on the frying basket broke, it will not lift the food out of the oil.

Ameritrade wanted to charge me to remove this and other deadbeat stock from my portfolio. I lost 18 thousand dollars with Sunbeam, Lifepoint, and other companies whose management lived so much better than the defrauded investors.

Upon opening my third replacement Sunbeam electric blanket in 9 months, 3 purchases, 2 returns at J.C. Penny,Glendale, CA., I noticed a cardboard insert hidden in the newest Sunbeam blanket. STOP-Do not return this product to the place of purchase. Below this you are direct to Sunbeam's web site www.sunbeam.com for any questions regarding repair, replacement, sit-up and functioning. Bottom line: Don't I have the right to return my purchase to the same store I bought it? A five hour drive to the nearest service location is a little much.

We purchased two queen sized electric blankets in Dec. 2006. The blanket is equipped with dual controls. They both worked for two months without problems. We have never cleaned them as directed. We started using them again in Oct. 2007,and they worked fine for about 3 weeks. Then the right side on both blankets over the period of about a week would not work. One of the blankets actually shocks the person on the right side. I called the Sunbeam Corp. and I was told that I would have to mail them in and wait several weeks and they may or may not replace them at their option. I believe a product less than a year old and used per their guidelines should last longer than 11 months with less than 3 months use. I believe that the several weeks at their option is unrealistic. I also no do have any trust of shipping them the evidence of a product that is defective and could potentially burn a house down.

I a Mr. Coffee coffee maker that I hate. No matter how careful I am about putting in the filter, most of the time the coffee ends up full of coffee grounds. Or I end up with the filter basket over flowing with water and coffe grounds. It is a mess!

coffee stains on my counter.

I purchased a Sunbeam Mixmaster Heritage Series Stand mixer in 3/06. In Jan. of 07 the mixer stopped working and they sent me another one, the first time I used it the tilt release would not work, so I called and they sent me another one in April of 07, here it is the first of July and my third mixer will not work. Once again the tilt release won't work. I have demanded my money back. The reason I am writing is because there must be a defect in the mixer or I would not be having the same problem. The mixer is a Sunbeam Mixmaseter Legacy edition model 18055. I feel this model should be recalled. Thank you for your time and concern. If I do not get a full refund then I will go to my lawyer and the BBB.
