Sunbeam Ellise Stainless Banquet

Product FP8950. Like others, I have to report major problems with the thermostat. On first use, turning onto 3 to slowly heat the pan as instructed to burn off any coating fumes, after 15 minutes ( only 10 required), Then good quality olive oil was...

This cooker has had relatively little use and has always been carefully cleaned and stored in a cupboard after use with the sensor lead being stored in the cooker. In other words the unit has been well cared for. Last night the power lead shorted...

makes some browning processes quite a chore. I am guessing that these frypans are now manufactured in some cheap labour country? The production standards are not being met very well. To summarise: heavy, very poor thermostat and uneven cooking surface...

Like other reviewers I have had problems with the temperature probe, I bought a replacement probe after reading previous reviews and it has exactly the same fault. The stainless steel surface is excellent but absolutely loses its benefits if the pan is...

other daughter was given a Banquet with the non-stick surface and it came off too. Going by the reviews these are ongoing problems. What is being done to rectify them, or does Sunbeam just keep taking the money?

Have had my Sunbeam frypan since 2006. At first the handle broke off the lid so my husband fixed it. Never had a problem with the temp control, everything cooked beautifully. My aunty bought one at a similar time and she had no end of trouble with the...

Good size, good appearance. Temperature is uncontrollable. Will either burn everything or not cook adequately. When I rang sunbeam for assistance, was told I was using the temperature control incorrectly.......even after trying their suggested methods...

I had the controller replaced under warranty as it kept burning food over 3. The new thermostat lasted 6 months now it has gone again just after the warranty ran out. Sunbeam is unwilling to replace the controller out of warranty. I liked the actual...
