reviews and complaints

I got my first sunbeam toaster when I was a kid and it lasted for years. I recently bought a sunbeam blender and it works great. I use it almost every day to make smoothies and it blends everything perfectly. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's a little loud, but that's not a big deal.

I also have a sunbeam iron that I use to iron my clothes. It heats up quickly and gets the wrinkles out easily. I've had it for a few years now and it still works like new.

Overall, I think sunbeam makes great appliances that are reliable and affordable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for new appliances.

Yo, so I had this heating pad from Sunbeam and it wasn't working right. But, I remembered that it was still under warrantee, so I hit up the company to see what I could do. They got back to me real quick and gave me the lowdown on how to return it. I followed their instructions and before I knew it, I had a brand new heating pad in my hands. The communication was super friendly and helpful, and they always responded fast. I gotta say, Sunbeam's customer service is top-notch. Thanks for hooking me up, y'all!

So, I bought a heated mattress pad and a heating pad from Sunbeam last year. And let me tell you, both of them stopped working. The mattress pad lasted for only 6 months, and the heating pad didn't even last for a day. I was so disappointed with the quality of the products.

I tried to contact their customer support to get some help. They asked me some questions about my purchase and the model number, but after that, I didn't hear back from them. I even called them, but still, no reply.

To be honest, I don't think I'll be buying any Sunbeam products in the future. It's just not worth the hassle and disappointment. I hope they improve their products and customer service, or else they'll lose more customers like me.

So, I got this electric mattress pad from Sunbeam for Christmas last year. I used it for a couple of months and then I washed it and put it away safely in a nice bag. Recently, I took it out and put it on my bed, but it barely heats the middle of the bed even when I set it on HIGH. I tried to contact their customer service through their website, but I couldn't reach a live person. It was quite frustrating, to be honest.

I have to say, I'm really disappointed with this product. I would give it a ZERO review if I could. I don't recommend wasting your money on Sunbeam products. Not only did I have a bad experience with the product itself, but their customer service was also terrible. I received a rude reply to my message, which was just the cherry on top of the cake.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend Sunbeam to anyone. Their products are not worth the money, and their customer service is nonexistent. It's a real shame, because I had high hopes for this product, but it turned out to be a crock.

So, I gotta tell ya, I've been using this heating pad from Sunbeam for about a month now and it's been a real game changer for me. I suffer from arthritis and ankylosis spondylitis, which is basically a fancy way of saying my spine is deteriorating. Needless to say, I'm in a lot of pain most of the time.

But this heating pad, man, it's been a lifesaver. It's longer and skinnier than most pads, which is perfect for me because I can wrap it around my back and get some relief on multiple areas at once. Plus, it's got different settings so I can adjust the heat to my liking. And get this - I can set it to stay on for two hours or turn off automatically. How cool is that?

After I got the pad, I decided to check out Sunbeam's website and see what else they had to offer. Lo and behold, I found a heating pad that's specifically designed for the neck, shoulders, and upper back. I mean, come on, that's like the holy grail of heating pads right there. And get this - both of these bad boys come with a 9-foot cord. That's right, I can use it from the comfort of my couch without having to worry about being tethered to the wall.

I gotta say, I'm a happy camper. In fact, I was so impressed with the pad that I got one for my 89-year-old mom. She loves it too. So if you're in the market for a heating pad, I highly recommend checking out Sunbeam. They've got some seriously good stuff.

I gotta say, I had a pretty rough experience with Sunbeam.com. I placed an order way back in November of 2018 and I still haven't gotten any word about when it's gonna ship. I was hoping to give it as a birthday gift, but it looks like that's not gonna happen. I'm pretty disappointed with the lack of communication and service from these guys. I've tried reaching out to them through their website a bunch of times, but all I get back are these generic emails that don't really say anything. They just keep saying they'll get back to me as soon as they can, but it's been months and I still haven't heard anything.

I mean, come on Sunbeam, what's the deal? My order is still showing as "processing" and I have no idea why it's taking so long. If you can't fulfill my order, just let me know so I can cancel it and take my business elsewhere. I don't wanna waste any more time waiting around for something that might never come.

Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with my experience with Sunbeam.com. I was hoping for better service and communication, but it looks like that's not gonna happen. If you're thinking about ordering from these guys, I'd definitely think twice. There are plenty of other places to get what you need without all the hassle.

Ordered a Sunbeam electric blanket from Amazon. It worked a little over a year and then stopped working. Received a E4 on the controller. Contacted customer care through email. Send emails back-and-forth for a little bit until they asked for proof of purchase and pictures of the blanket sent it to them only for them to go silent on me. So a week later contacted customer care through email yet again, same thing got to a certain point and then they went silent on me. Contacted them again through email this time I told them this is my third time requesting help all they did was combine my other two requests and put them into one. Every time I send a message through these emails they never respond back. I just want my electric blanket fixed, which has a five year warranty. Sunbeam used to have great blankets when I was younger that lasted years what happened?

My heated mattress pad, while still under warranty stopped heating up! I’ve been trying to resolve this problem for months but keep getting goosed around!

Sunbeam says they are no longer responsible for the product because they licensed it out to STAR ELITE GROUP! However, when I call Star Elite I get a recording they are having technical difficulties and to call back!

I feel like I’ve been scammed!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I bought a Sunbeam 1.7 Litre Ribbed Glass Kettle model:SGRK-017 sometime in February 2022 and it stopped working I returned it for exchange and they gave me a new kettle on the 24 August 2022. The barcode on the box of the kettle is [protected] and the Guarantee is 12 months but it stopped working now on the 10th January 2023 I tried to take it back to the store for exchange but they told me I cannot exchange again as I changed the first kettle. Please help I dont know what to do now.

I have purchased 2 heated velvet throws over the last 3 years, and both of the throws stop working after about 6 weeks. The remote just flashes red and it no longer heats. I reached out to sunbeam the 1st time it happened and they said that they would send me a replacement throw but that never happened (that was 18 months ago). I contacted them again (1 month after the replacement should have arrived) and they said the item was backordered. I never received a refund or the heated throw.

I reached out regarding the second throw starting January 9th and was given the run around by Star Elite Inc, who now handles Sunbeams claims. They asked me to submit all this documentation. I did everything they asked by January 15th. Once I did, they told me to return it to the seller. On the sunbeam warranty, it says do not return to the seller. It has a 5 year warranty but they do not honor their warranties.

Good morning! I would like to lodge a complaint. I bought a IQ2 Twin size blanket from the Travis AFB BX approx 3 weeks ago. I had bought more than one item and what had happened is that I had to return an item and I let the BX keep the receipt. I came back home and gave the blanket to my daughter (I had bought it for my granddaughter). About an hour later, she contacts me to tell me that there was no controller for the blanket. I took the blanket back for an Exchange but it was the last one. I follow the instructions on your pamphlet to see if I could just order a replacement controller. Here is when the story gets RAGGEDY. I was referred to call [protected] and I ended up talking to the RUDEST Customer Service Representative in the world. She told me that your company would be able to replace it if I had the receipt. I told her what had happened with the receipt and that I did not have it anymore. That female acted as it I was trying to steal a blanket from you. I am an Air force veteran. I BIUGHT THIS THING. All I wanted was a replacement controller and I offered to pay for it. Like I said, she was extremely rude and told me that there was no way I would ever get a replacement. I asked to speak to her supervisior and she responded"I can tell you to call you back but she is just going to tell you the same thing so there is no use trying." Would not give me the manager's name at all. I had never felt so disrespected. I apologize for just now lodging this complaint, but we had a death in the family, and I only just now remembered to send this message. I followed your procedures and your representative (all I know that it was a female that answered the number I referenced) does not need to be representing your company. Your manual clearly states "Do not return this product to place of purchase" but I did try anyway. I do not appreciate the fact that she thought that I was trying to "get over" on somebody. I explained clearly what had happened to the receipt and she wanted me to drive BACK to the base and ask them to print out another receipt. Obviously, she has no idea the distance involved when you do not live on a military base and I had already made one trip there not even remotely thinking that there would be something wrong with this blanket. If I knew how to do a public review on this incident, I would.

So you are showing me that THIS response is adequate and being ignored is how this is handled? All this over an electric blanket?

I have been asking for a response since November 15th and still nothing from your company.

I informed Sunbeam that the cord to this blanket developed an exposed wire. Sunbeam recognized that blanket is under warranty and told me to contact Star Elite, INC. I called and left emails to this subsidiary company and submitted all required documents. This dialogue began in June 2022 with Sunbeam and continued with Star Elite and no response. Here we are in August. The blanket was purchased in December, 2020 and stopped working in June, 2022. Sunbeam failed to honor its warranty.

I received this throw as a Christmas gift in 2021 so it is less than 5 months old. It has gradually been heating less and less over the last month and now the controller just blinks and the throw does not heat at all. I have researched reseting it but unplugging and replugging it back in, even in several different outlets, does not work. Red light on the controller just blinks and throw does not heat up at all.

I have no receipt as it was a gift. Please let me know how you want to handle replacing this defective product or somehow making this unfortunate product situation right.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

I cant remove power cord so I can was electric blanket in washer.

I have only used this blanket for one season. It has only been washed maybe three times. this blanket was purchased from Bargain Hunt in Bartlett, TN.

Maybe it was a second, however it was in a box. It is queen-size.

Bought November 2021~ light started blinking ~ unplugged and tried again ~ saw a spark, heard a pop, smelled it burn! It is now TOAST! Lasted 2 months! Did not keep receipt or register it because... it is a SUNBEAM!

I have a King size Sunbeam heated mattress pad that is not working. My controllers are working but no heat. I noticed on the 4 prong mattress connection one of the prongs is much lower possibly making bad connection. I have tried to call the Sunbeam Company only to be held on hold forever multiple times.. I then tried to file case online was given a case # in an email with trouble shooting for possible fix. I did all the trouble shooting and still not working. I was instructed by email to click on warranty link sent in another email. I clicked on link filled out form and hit submit button only to be told in another page that you have to sign in to use. I'm not a computer expert, but not idiot either. There is no place to sign in or instructions on how to. This company makes it impossible to resolve warranty issues with products. So back to square one. Went back to Sunbeam and filed another case. Once again received trouble shooting email, but they failed to send warranty link as specified in email. Oh did I forget to mention you have a 7 day window for warranty link to work. I was within the 7 days and it didn't work for me. Just another run around. I purchased this blanket from Sunbeam and was shipped directly from mfr. You would think I would have better customer service than this. My last ditch effort was a reply to email about my frustrations. Bet I never hear a word. This product is an electric source you sleep on if it has faulty connections it is a serious hazard. Why are they making it difficult to reach out to?

I have a Model # BVHC-MMX26. I went to get my 1st cup this am (11/29/21), and the top tab on the handle broke spilling hot coffee on me and all over the counter. Please make sure this isn't a chronic problem as this could cause a suite if someone was badly burned.
Please send a replacement carafe or another maker. Thanks Frances Horton, 2201 W Lawrence, Hobbs, NM 88242

Hi,
We bought the Duraceramic frying pan 1 week ago, and as soon as we started cooking in it, the food was sticking to the bottom of the frying pan and burning...despite there being Olive oil also in frying pan.. this is the Second time we have bought this product..thinking it may have been improved, but no, it's still the same. The frying pan is very hard to clean and is actually stained from the food cooking in it, no matter how hard we scrub it the marks will not come off.
We would like some type of refund please.
P.s we have photos if you need them.
Regards,
Kerry Mark

Good morning
This is the second fan that I've purchased that has died. I love the size, the color, and the air circulated but it's a bit frustrating to have this happen again. The fans both lasted a couple months before they stopped working.

I'm beyond the return period at Target where both fans were purchased for approximately $13 each.

I would like, at the very least, the fans to be replaced with the same or better fans.

It beeps and lights up when I turn it on. Checked plugged in as well as changed battery on controller. Still beeps. I got it at Costco 1year ago so I can probably return it.

Bought a heated blanket on amazon from sunbeam, and was defective. Burned my skin and only half of the blanket the upper part was heated my feet were cold. Contacted customer service and was sent a replacement blanket, which was worse than the first one. Only 1/4 of it heated up and left burns on my feet and this was on the lowest setting possible. I contacted sunbeam customer service 3 weeks ago about it 4 times and they refused to get back to me after the first message saying i needed to provide proof of the blanket etc. I'm extremely disappointed because not only can this blanket set my house on fire it has burned my skin and I'm still cold. What a waste of 100 dollars.

I've had these coffee pots for 30 years and never had the on, off switch break. This coffeemaker is almost 2 years old and we've had no problems.
I went to turn it on and nothing happened, switch moves but makes no "click". If I can't turn it on, I don't get coffee!

My mattress cover I received for Christmas is new. From the first time this mattress cover was used it started blinking after about 30 minutes. I only like to heat up my bed and occasionally want to turn it on again in the night. I can't do this because it
starts blinking and you can't turn it off. You have to unplug and start process all over.
Very annoying. I hate this blanket. Hopefully this one is defective or this problem can be resolved.

I bought my Sunbeam heated throw afew years ago, it worked the first year and some of the second year. I didn't have the receipt because I bought it at Costco through a friend. When I push the button only to low and wait for a sec, it jumps up to high and blinks off and on and doesn't heat up anymore. It is still in excellent condition and should still be working.
I actually did buy another one last year and it is still working. I have tried both plugs from each blanket inot the one that doesn't work but it does the same blinking light thing for both.
