Sunbeam MultiBlender Platinum PB7610

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 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 w...

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 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.

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 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.

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 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

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.

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 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 g...

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.
